41 and trying for our first

[Sweetie923]

Well.. I will be 41 in a couple of weeks. My husband will soon be 43. He has a teenage daughter from his first marriage but we sooo want one together. I do not have any...yet (I have to remember to say "yet" to remain hopeful!)

A little history, we have been ttc for about 3 years now. A couple of months ago, after going through pretty much every test and having them come back normal, we were told that we have "unexplained infertility" and to go to a specialist. But then I started experiencing some really strange pains that..long story short, turned out to be internal scar tissue.

Not endometriosis but some scar tissue formation that was fusing my insides together. While my ob/gyn was in there fixing that situation, she did the HSG (the one thing we didn't do because our insurance wouldn't cover it for some reason and we were trying to figure out how to pay for it.) Turns out, both of my tubes were blocked so..we take that as good news..not so "unexplained" after all! She was able to clear them both.

We are hoping to get pregnant in the next few months, but of course, as you all know, the whole process is really stressful. My husband is so supportive and wonderful, but I can't always talk to him in the same way I can maybe talk with some of you who know from the female perspective.

So...... here I am. Thanks for reading!!!

It's great they were able to clear the tubes! I thought my right tube was blocked but after endoscopy it was clear without them having to do anything. I am 39 almost 40. I have adenomyosis which sucks because there's nothing you can do about it. I also have low amh and highish fsh and low afc. They also removed stage 2 endo from pelvic cavity. So they give me a 1% chance naturally due to age and those numbers. I try not to focus on the percentage. They are giving me 5% with ivf. I can only be thankful I have the chance to do ivf. I will hopefully start cycle#2 soon.

I wish you the best of luck!

Hello and welcome! It`s great news that they discovered that and were able to unblock them. I know it`s really hard but try to keep positive. I`ve been ttc for a while also and every month is such a big letdown. I try to focus on the positive news however small, take good care of myself, etc.

Wishing you a short journey to your bfp!
