TTC after 35

Saddened

I didn't have much faith that I was prego this cycle. My intuition never fails, AF just showed up. Wondering if it will ever happen for me again, I have a seven year old son. TTC over 1 year, in a few days I will start my fifth cycle of clomid. The roller coaster ride continues

Re: Saddened

  • We all have those moments, some ladies have been ttc #1 for several years. So it will all depend on how much emotional, financial and mental roller coaster you can handle.

     

    Wish you luck.

  • Yes I have an RE & he's useless. I'm risking my health in hopes of a pregnancy that I'm not monitored even though I know that's not smart. Perhaps I need to find a new RE that can and will help me properly. I did blood work and he did a sono. Both came back fine and normal. Actually my husband and I have been TTC for about three years. A year & a half years ago I had my tubes checked and flushed to see if I had a blockage, which I didn't. Then we decided to stop TTC after no pregnancy. Decided to TTC again it's been a year now and still no success. I'm sad and stressing out because I'm not sure if I should start the clomid this cycle. I feel like I'm at a dead end
  • I'm sorry you're feeling so discouraged--sounds like a new RE might be a good idea. Hang in there!

  • Sending you some big hugs. Hope you find an RE who can help.

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

  • So sorry you are going through a rough time. My children are 8 years apart and I'm trying for #3 who will be at least 10 years younger then my last.
    So I know the frustration you are going through.
    From what you said I would run from your current RE and find a new one ASAP. He has you on clomid for 5 cycles and hasn't monitored you at all, that's crazy!!!!
    Don't lose hope just find a RE who knows what they are doing!
    Good luck and please let us know how you are doing.

    All welcome

  • Thank you to all that have given me positive words of wisdom. My husband is trying his best to comfort/support me, but he has no idea what it really feels like. I had a complete meltdown yesterday & only people who are in the TTC with no luck know what I'm dealing with. Thanks ladies
  • Run don't walk from your re! Any Dr worth a grain of salt would monitor you! You can have to thin of lining and or get overstimulated...I would go with femera at this point. Good luck!
