Hi, I'm Jen, just wanted to say hello. I joined because I really don't know anyone who is going through this process and sometimes I feel like I just need to know that I'm not the only one out there with all these crazy emotions. I've been off bc for 3 years. While H and I weren't actually TTC, we weren't preventing, always with the mindset that we would be happy with whatever happened. Well, nothing happened, and while my husband would be perfectly content without children, I am not. So, we went to see RE last month. Turns out I have a blocked tube and now my ovulation tests have done nothing, so next I get my blood drawn Saturday. H still needs his semen analysis, which has been a struggle getting him to do this, but I don't want to pressure him. Once those are completed, we can start clomid. I turn 35 in December. My clock is ticking louder and louder and some days I just want to say eff it, is it really worth all this? I never thought it would be so difficult. Maybe I'm just not supposed to have children. So many thoughts go through my mind and it can be exhausting! I hope this site helps and I am also here to help others in any way I can :)

    Welcome! I hope you're not here long. But as I'm also new to this whole thing I'm also glad that there is a place to come and vent, and find out that all that we are feeling isn't unnormal.

    Welcome and good luck! I totally hear you about doubting at times if this is even worth it--it can really be overwhelming sometimes. The ladies on this board are so positive and supportive, and hopefully you can find some good vibes to keep hope alive here!!

    @jenrn1216 Welcome. You have come to the right place. We have all felt the same emotions you age going through and it's so nice to have a place to vent, talk, ask for advice, etc. Its a great group of ladies. My hubby took forever to get his first SA done also. He kept putting it off time and time again. The second one he took care of right away and now I think he's over the embarrassment of it. Espcially since we are seeing an actual fertility doctor and he knows everyone is doing the same thing. I hope your husband finds its not as bad as it seems. Good luck to you.

    @Toby102008 it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one dealing with this! Thanks for sharing.
