Hi can i join your thread please, im 37 and OH is 39 and we have been TTC ~1 for 5 years now without even a hint of a BFP :cry:
 
I'm 40 this year and still trying over 4 years later!

Good luck to us all! :dust:
 
41 years, TTC 10 years now. Nothing wrong with either of us except our age (hubby is 48). Had IVF/ICSI (egg planted 10 days ago), blood test in 2 days to see if it worked... after that, think I'll call it a day and get a cat. Sick of the whole thing quite frankly!

Good luck with your testing I hope it all works out for you xxxx
Please keep us updated :)
 
We are a sorry bunch arent we! Im only just 39 - have been TTC naturally for about 10 years in total but in the last 2 years i have had 5 cycles of ICSI. Sometimes i feel like giving up but the thought of the outcome keeps me going! Good luck to us all and may we get BFPs soon! xox
 
Hi Angel223, that sounds so depressing but you sound so positive, good for you. You're stronger than me!

Just had my first cycle of ICSI (and last - I won't be doing it again). I have my official test tomorrow but thought I'd do my own test this morning... completely, clearly, negative. I bet I know how tomorrow's going to turn out. Feeling a bit down and annoyed.

I think I trump everyone. :coffee: I'm 46, been TTC our first for 4 years, nothing wrong with either of us, apart from the obvious, my age and diminished ovarian reserve.

So we will be going down the IVF/DE route, which we are both fine with, we want to be parents, first and foremost. We need to save up first though so will be taking the Spring and Summer off from tests, consultations, sticks..etc...and will just TTC au naturelle, with supplements and acupuncture and loads of walks out in the countryside!!

Good luck to you all. xx
 
Fx 10yearsttc.
We're ttc 2 yrs, 38 & 42. Sigh. good luck ladies x
 
Just heard from the clinic - INCONCLUSIVE!!

Hormone levels are mid range and it could go either way. I have to retest on Monday. I was pretty sure AF was arriving this morning.... my body is obviously confused and doesn't know what to do!

God, I can't stand this.

I'm feeling sad as our nephew has arrived safe and well and is beautiful. Our problem is that he has arrived smack bang in our first aniversary of our smc and we are struggling with our emotions. We're thrilled he's here and mum and baby are well. Were very happy for her dispite all the difficulties she has caused over the years.

We haven't yet been able to work through our grief and are struggling with finding the best way forwards espcially in the years to come particulary at christmas when our lo would have been born and the smc aniversary at the same time as celebrating our beautiful nephews birthday.

The reason I call it an smc is that we didn't poas, (I was 7 weeks late and it was physically the most painful thing I hae ever experianced and nothing like a normal period! far far worse) and because i didn't poas so i feel that we have no right what so ever to call it a mc. I spoke to a midwife, our doctor and posted on the mc forum and many ladies came forwards to tell me that i described their mc to the letter. I have to admit that a mc was nothing like i'd expect it to be.

We don't have a problem with the fact that they got to have their baby and we didn't as much as we still want our baby it's just seems to be one of those things. We have told dh's mum about the experiance and I was stunned by the fact she didn't even give dh a hug and no one from dh family has asked us if we are alright we don't even know if she has told them? or they simply don't care.

every time dh talks about us having a baby there is no emotional or physical response from anyone in his family He told his brother that he has poor sa results and his brother said 'You still trying then?' almost to say now were pg why you bothering and to add insult to injury he then got out the newest scan pics!

We thought that we were imaging these reactions as being respectful of our suffering, perhaps? But another family member has said to his brother about when we finally have ours and the same reaction is given again. I have not mentioned about us having a baby throughout their pg out of respect, as i felt it was their time. If they we're going through this we would be there like a shot, they haven't asked us anything in 10 months now not once :cry:!?!?

Thank you and good luck honey x
