in TTC after 35
Hi All!
My name is Holly and I am a Registered Nurse in Madison, Wisconsin. My husband and I are both 36 and our only son, Finn, will be turning 5 in 1 month.
Last Fall we discovered at 12 weeks that I had a triploidy pregnancy which was confirmed through U/S and genetic testing to be a partial hydatidiform mole. I had a D & C around 13 weeks and was told to have my HCG levels monitored weekly and then monthly for 6 months to ensure they did not rise (which could mean malignancy).
We have been actively TTC for the past three months with no success. Have a Consult with a Fertility Specialist in a week, which I am super anxious for. I really want to know if my labs or husband's sperm are keeping us out each month.
I will try to check back on here daily, and I am excited to find a group that is specifically for 35 and older.
Hope to get to know you all!

I just went through all the testing last couple months as we were TTC with no success. Testing was nerve racking but I am glad we did as we now have a better sense of our plan.
Hang in there and wishing you all the best and a short stay on this board in this journey.
