It's my first time (brief bio...if possible :)

in Trouble TTC

Hi!! I'm not quite sure where to start... I've never been the type of person to post on community boards but I feel like I have nowhere to turn and no one willing to listen or that understands what I'm going through. My name is Melissa and I'm 34yrs old and I have been trying to conceive for the past 3 years. My husband is 41 and we both have gone through all the testing and neither has anything medically wrong with us but I do have an erratic ovulation cycle which I can't seem to figure out. I've had 2 miscarriages that were unexplained. It seems like I can't make it past  6 weeks. I've been looking into IVF again since the first time it didn't take but I'm so scared that it's not going to take. Honestly, I'm just scared in general. I'm hoping that me being here on this board will help me get over my fears and make it easier to get through everything. Thanx!!

    I'm so sorry for your losses. And also the stress that goes along with not knowing if IVF would work this time around! I hope you get some really good info and analysis from your RE, and a plan you feel comfortable with.
