Introduction - TTC first and almost 40

Hi!

I'm not sure how much info to give of myself so here it goes.

I'm 39 and turning 40 in September,  We are trying for our first child, officially since April of this year, however we have been trying but not preventing since November of 2013.  My fiancé is 41, he's had his SA in March and numbers are great but morph is a bit low.  He had second SA recently so we need to hear the new result (we have revamped our diets juicing every morning and he's cut out alcohol as well so FX that this time the morph results are better).  Given my age we are a little bit pressed to get preggers asap (as if age thing would make a difference in my desire to have this happen asap, LOL!).  I've had all my hormones checked as well as my egg reserve checked and all looks good.  However I've had a transvaginal ultrasound due to history of uterine polyps (I've had two D&C's to remove polyps in the span of 3 years) and just a few days ago had and HSG to check my tubes and to check for scarring (freaking out when I heard that D&C's can result in scarring).  My tubes looked clear and lining looked good so we are hoping for a BFP based on what we heard about the HSG "clearing out the cobwebs" and being really fertile in the next 3 months.  Also the OB/GYN wants us to give it a few more months before exploring other options and going to a specialist.  So more FX that we are blessed in the next few of months. 

Anyways, just looking for a support group since I don't want to drive my fiancé crazy more then I have to with the temps, the opks, the supplements, etc.

Thank you for listening to me rant a bit with my intro.  I hope I listed all the right info and look forward to speaking to fellow TTC's!

My best wishes and TONS of BABY DUST to all!!!

  • Thank you Ladies!

    It is so nice how welcoming everyone is!

    URMySunshine77 My fur baby is a Chi mix.  I love her!  I adopted her as a puppy from the local shelter here.  We think she has either MinPin or Italian Greyhoud.  I tell my fiancé she will always be our first born : )  I have always wanted to get her a furry friend (i love dogs too) but we are waiting (and crossing our fingers) for a little bundle of joy first.  Praying we are blessed one day.

    lcwed we are very excited about our future together!

    Lots of Love and Baby Dust to all!

  • Welcome! Sounds good!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP! 
  • Welcome!
