welli just discovered at my iui yesterday that the freaking sperm was no good. nice.. sigh. kept asking the doc from the first round for a count and he kept saying it isnt needed because the sperm banks knew what they are doing etc.. progression of 1.. ie the sperm just sit there and wiggle. 10,000 spent to find out that a 150 test the first round could have found i needed a dif donor. so so pissed. the sperm bank is being good about it but the doc better give me a few free rounds. im still lkinda hopeful for this round because i had a zillion ripe eggs. fingers crossed

Hi Ladies

I'm 39 as well, TTC #4.
Currently on cycle #3 and will be testing around the 16th-20th depending on how long I can hold out for.

to everyone!!

Hi everyone. I'm 39 and confirmed today that 2nd IUI failed. I am healthy, husband's numbers are great after vas reversal. There's no reason, after 9 months of trying, and two IUIs why I am not pregnant yet. I am so sad today I am barely holding it together here at work. I want to go home and cry.

I totally understand what all of you are going through. It is SO HARD!

I know. I started my period today. I will start clomid tomorrow. I told my husband that I am going to have to try and not stress about this and other things as I think it does effect your body significantly.
I'M sorry that it didn't work for you. It's like every month gets harder and harder. I feel like a ticking time bomb.

Let's pray this is our month:-)

please don't give up hope, youngsters -- had an mc at 41 and the cycle we were going to try IVF, at age 43, got pregnant naturally and LO was born in early February (see picture) and is very healthy, happy and just perfect -- I'd recommend all the tests (for both) just to make sure that everything is ok -- such as thyroid, iron levels, etc... and having a history of PCOS and erratic cycles, NEVER thought I'd have children --

best wishes

Thanks that does make me hopeful. I have been tested and everything is good. I've also done a dye test and had a couple fibroids but nothing, she said, to be concerned about. My husband has been tested and he's good too. I guess it's just w waiting game. We said we would try clomid for the next 4 to 6 months and then do IVF after that. I'm scared I might miss my window.
Your baby is beautiful and congrats:-)

Reading everyone's comments on here makes me feel like Im not alone. Been trying to get pregnant for the last 7 months, Im 38, my husband is 37. Had all the blood tests and my husbands sperm count was good, just nothing happening. And yes, all my friends and family keep announcing they are pregnant, and I am really happy for them, but Im also so very very jealous. Feels good to be able to actually say it and know that people on here understand what I mean.

You're not alone. I try to keep a brave face but I'm losing it slowly. Just wish something good would come our way.

Hope no one gets offended by this question, but I have no CM. None at all!!!! I dont know if it is because of my age or not, so curious as to whether anyone else 38+ has this problem or if its me and thats a contributing reason for no BFP????
