in TTC after 35
A little about me. I'm 35 and my dh is 42. He has 2 children from a previous marriage and I have 1. (The youngest is 14). We really want an "ours". We have been trying for over a year and I guess it's time to go to the doctor. The thought of that scares me tremendously. We have been trying tracking, charting, serrapeptase, cassava root pills, fertility blend for men. We just bought pre-seed to start this month. It's very over whelming and I end up crying every month. I'm just ready for this to happen. I came here looking for support and to read that I'm not alone in this struggle.

    You're not alone. I'm 37 and have been TTC#1 for 9 months and have had two losses. It's a rough road, but the women on this board are great.
    TTC#1 since Jan 2015
    BFP 2/19/15  •  MMC found at 9 wks  •  D&E at 11 wks (age 36)
    BFP 8/29/15      •  CP (age 37)
    BFP 11/18/15  •  DD born at 41 weeks <3(age 37/38)

    TTC#2 since May 2017
    BFP 10/18/17  •  MMC found at 8 wks  •  Misoprostal at 10.5 wks (age 39)
    BFP 2/16/18      •  CP (age 39)
    BFP 4/13/18      •  CP (age 39)
    BFP 5/07/18  •  MMC found at 10.5 wks  •  D&E at 11.5 wks      •  Testing showed it was a girl with Trisomy 22. (age 39/40)
    9/5/18 Diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (4-5 follicles, one ovary had none and was very atrophied)
    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

    BFP 5/11/19  •  Fraternal twins  •  MMC found at 10w5d (Baby A 6w, Baby B 10w)  •  Misoprostal at 11 weeks (age 41)

    You are definitely not alone. It is so stressful and frustrating and emotional. This group had been great support--and I've learned a lot too!

    Welcome and GL to you.  I bought pre-seed couple months ago to use since the fertility pills tend to dry me out.  We didn't have luck with TI but my DH still likes to use it.  It's not sticky and blends in your skin well if you get any on your fingers.  I understand how overwhelming and stressful it can be.  We've been trying for over 2 years
