intro & :(

in TTC after 35

So, I'm rather new to the boards and wanted to introduce myself.

My DH & I have been TTC since 2008 and along the way we have had 3 early MCs. I have started and stopped with my RE twice - due to outside issues but we're finally ready to get back in and do this thing! 

I started my first IUI cycle last month and on 3/31/13 (Easter / Passover, of course) I had my 1st IUI procedure. I've been crossing my fingers during the 2WW and was due to test this weekend - unfortunately, my AF arrived today (6 days early) so tomorrow I go back to the RE and start all over again. 

I'm getting better with the crying. Just in small bursts - but I have to keep moving forward. I don't really share a lot of personal 'stuff' with friends and family - only about 4 people outside of my DH know what has happened or is happening with our attempts to start a family so I my be slow to share on the boards but I'm glad to have found a place to come to.

Wishing you all success and I'll let you know how this one goes.

    I'm so sorry for your losses.

    Welcome to the board.  This is a really great place to share how you are feeling and tell all those personal things that you can't IRL.  I can't think of anyone that I would pick up the phone and have a conversation about CM with but on this board that is just par for the course.

    I hope you feel comfortable here. I have found comfort and reason here that was missing everywhere else for me :)

    Good luck at your appointment tomorrow - keep us informed.
