in TTC after 35
Hi all. I took a little break from the group. I was still TTC#2 all the while. I've been busy adjusting to being a homeowner for the first time. I can't recall the last time I check in on you ladies. Congrats to all the BFP's I missed & good luck to all of us.
Brief history for the newbies that don't know me. DH & I have an 8 yr old DS. I'm 38 DH is 40. We've been TTC fir #2 for 4 years off and on. But for the past year and a half it's been cycle after cycle of trying.
In September of 2013 my ob put me on clomid w/o monitoring. I did 3 cycles of it, then I found this forum. A lot of ladies educated me that taking that drug unmonitored can be deadly. So I stopped and attempted help from a RE. He did the basic and was as useless as my ob. After two cycles with him I still didn't have any answers to why I couldn't TTC naturally .
I then started temping and found another RE. I found out I have a short LP. DH also found out that he has low testosterone & low morphology.
Last July we did 1 cycle of iui with clomid resulting in a BFN. I'm aware that most don't conceive the first time around with 1 iui. We only did 1 cycle because we didn't want any type of artificial assistance and money. So 2 cycles with the new RE (who I loved), we couldn't afford treatment with the upcoming purchase of the house because fertility treatment was an oop expense for us. so I stopped and decided to ttc w/o help of a doctor. Months later and still no BFP sadly .
In October of 2014 I started accupuncture for TTC purposes. It definitely relieves me of stress while I'm doing it for fertility reasons. Before the year is up we will consider at least 2 iui' cycles because we both really would like another child and we aren't getting any younger.
I'm currently in the dreaded TWW cd9, I'm hoping this is our cycle
Thanks for reading and good luck nesties.

Hope everything in the new house is going smoothly. But now you can focus on the baby making
It's good you found an RE that you like.

Yes we have nicely settled into our house. We have been working hard to make the yard look good. We recently started painting the inside of the house to choices of our colors. The house was move-in-ready but we need to tweak a few things.
Hi @KirstenAlecia welcome back to you too. I look forward to reading an update status.
