Newbie here introducing myself

in TTC after 35
Hi. I'm 39 and just completed 4 rounds of femara with TI and have an appt with my RE tomorrow afternoon. Probably moving to injectables with IUI. My fiancé is 45 and neither of us has any children (this is my 1st time TTC). All is normal in the land of testing, so it's currently unexplained. The waiting and stress is definitely taking a toll. I could definitely use some support.

    Welcome and GL
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

    Welcome to the board and I hope you find the support you're looking for here. I'm 39 as well and neither MH or I have any kids.

    Keep us posted on how things are going :)
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    Welcome!
    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!

    I have an update - we met with the RE yesterday. He explained moving to injectables with IUI, but I mentioned to him that the other health plan covers IVF (our HR dept. has cobbled together really good infertility coverage with 2 different health plans) and he said to move straight to IVF and that it's the right decision for us. 

    I'd have to probably switch REs, but he said to send me the list that the insurance covers and he will pick the best one from that list. I was kinda hoping that I could stay with this RE - both of us really like him.

    Wow - I kinda feel like I just got hit by lightning.

    Sorry you have to change RE's when you like this one but that's so awesome your insurance covers it!

    FX for you as you move forward. :)
