Hey ladies,

New to this thread. Been joining a few today. Well I am 43 years old and recently had a miscarriage. I did not think I could have children, so like many women I've focused on school and my career. Now successful with the man of my dreams, to our surprise I got pregnant in July which ended (to our devastation) in August.

Now that I've had that glimmer of hope and still haven't had my first, here I am at 43 wishing and praying to start my family.

Just wanted to be in the company of likeminded warm ladies to share my journey with.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, but jumped in at the end and from what I can tell - congratulations is in order for Sugar.

I would love to read your journey but until then I wish you the very best and baby dust to you...

 

[sugargully]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

DH doesn't know. He works nights so I won't see him til this afternoon. I think he's going to cry when I tell him. He has this thing for texting memes. So I made one with our dog that I'm going to text him while we're talking about our day. I'll share it here too.

This cycle:
10 mg DHEA
120 mg Bkack cohosh
60,000 iu Vit D3
Prenatal
Calcium

All taken cd1-12.
This is "notrustyet"'s blend that she got a bfp at age 42, naturally. You can search her on here.

Yay, Sugar!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you. Happy and healthy 9 months xxx
Did they give you the hcg number? Judging by how dark the lines are, the number will be high. My lines never got that dark.

Justme43 welcome to the thread. Everyone here has been amazing. I've just had an early mc too, so I know what you are going through. It was my much wanted first ever bfp and I'm still heart broken but determined to try to be positive. Fx for you and welcome again xxx

Thank you so much and I am sorry about your loss too. I've been reading these threads and yes you all are very strong and encouraged women.

Real quick, since I'm at work...

Welcome, Justme. You'll find support, humor, and love on this thread. And LOTS of experience and advice, not to mention a shoulder should you need one (or several). All the best to you.

RE appt went well. As expected, IUI with counts that low would likely be unsuccessful, so Wish, I'm coming to see you in IVF-land. I'm good with that. They did an ultrasound to examine my anatomy and the good news is, I have the "ovaries of a teenager". 15 follicles on one side plus a developing corpus luteum, and 20 follicles on the other side. (CD12 today) Endometrial lining looks very nice as well. This is of course the doc's take on it, as it all just looked like black and white static to me. First appt is on October 23rd, so hoping to have an embie or three to transfer by the new year. Seems like such a long time, but it will go fast once it starts.

Love and hugs to all of you!

welcome, just4me! I'm so sorry about your recent loss. My first cycle of IVF was successful but we lost it a couple weeks into it. So I'm just starting cycle 2. And ditto to what the girls said - everyone is so wonderful here. What can I say, i just love them all!

sugar - still so ecstatic for you! I can't wait to hear how hubby responds!

krasa - welcome to IVF Land! that's awesome that things are already looking so good on your end. You should be able to create some quality eggs. Then they can go so far as picking a sperm that looks excellent and insert it (if you did ICSI) and then it's up to them to fertilize and grow! It will be really exciting!!

 

[Dandi]

Welcome Justme! You won't find a more supportive group of ladies than the lovelies on this thread. To me it really feels like a warm, cozy fertility family who just happen to have never met in person. you've come to the right place.

Love the meme idea Sugar! I know you've got to be so excited to tell him this afternoon.

Krasa, so glad it went well. That's great news that things look so well on your end. The end of October will be here before you know it and once the ball gets rolling, it will fly by (at least that's what it felt like from the outside looking in during Wish's first cycle, lol). I'm excited for your next steps. Look at all the plans being made ladies!!! We're going to make these babies happen!
