Intro-ttc first child

dandkbakerdandkbaker member
in TTC after 35
Hi Everyone!! I'm 37 and dh is 32 we've been ttc on and off for about 4 years. We took a break in the middle due to my husband having open heart surgery. After the surgery I was really busy and super stressed and experienced 8 months without a cycle. So after getting that straightened out I talked to my Dr and she started me Femera 2.5 (I've tried clomid and it didn't work not to mention awful side effects). I'm at cd 5 and taking Femera cd3-7. So far so good only minor S/E like slightly more tired than usual and some mild headaches. The optimistic side of me hopes I'm here for a short time. The realistic side of me realizes the chances this works on the first try is pretty slim. I just am trying to keep positive thoughts and not give into the negative side of ttc. Such a difficult thing to do emotionally invest in the dream of "what if" and not allowing a bfn to destroy all your hopes. I guess I thought I had come to terms with not being able to have children but somehow I find myself on this road again praying for something different than heartbreak and pain.

    Welcome! I hope your stay here is sport as well. How did they get you straight after that 8 month cycle?
    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).

    My Dr prescribed Provera 1st, unfortunately it didn't work. She put me on BC and it helped get things going. It was kind of funny cause I asked her if she could check my hormone levels she said there was no need to check them that going that long without a period was indication things were out of whack. Incidentally I felt amazing on BC more myself, like more balanced in my emotions.

    Welcome to the board. I hope your stay here is a short one!
    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.

    Interesting. I am in the same boat, but bc probably caused mine. I am onto an RE on the 15th. Hopefully he'll have am answer.
