Onmymind, you are right, those months were you don't go through all the medications, bw/us, etc are a little bit easier to take the BFN. That is exactly why I need to take the summer off and not think about it. Thanks for making me feel better.
Lava, everything sounds like you are right on track. I don't blame you for getting a little freaked out earlier. I would be the same way. I'm glad at least one of us got a BFP this month
. I hope we can keep the momentum going.
Luvvi, good to see you back. I've missed you, soulsister!
FM, thanks for your encouraging words. I'm still fx'd for you and I'm hoping you are our BFP for June!
MJ, I'm definately having a
. I guess the only good thing about the BFN is that I can go on this winery tour in 2 weeks and actually get my money's worth!
Beth, welcome!
I'm sure you'll feel at home here as a lot of us have gotten married later in life and have just started TTC since we've gotten married. There are also many other ladies on here who have been married for a while and have been TTC for a bit longer. I find these are the ladies that give the best advice as they've been through so much. As far as DH having children from a previous relationship, don't rule that out as he being in tip top shape just yet. Just because he had children many years ago doesn't mean that his physiology is still the same. My DH has an 11 year old but he formed a spermatocle about 6 years ago. His numbers are borderline on the low side so things have changed for him in the past 11 years since his son was born. I don't mean to scare you but if you need to get tested for fertility issues, don't rule out tests for him just because he has had children in the past. Besides, if it doesn't happen for you right away, you'll be putting too much pressure on yourself thinking you are the problem just because he's already had kids. I truly hope you don't have to go through that and you get your BFP soon. Best of luck on your 2ww.
AFM, I did leave work early so I could come home and break down and cry. But besides that, I found out that our new program manager who is pregnant with twins is 49! She also has a 2 year old daughter. I really wish I could approach her and ask her what her secrets are. She is a captain in the military so I'm sure her career came first and she put off having a family until later in life. On that note, I was in an informal meeting today and we were talking about her, one of my managers made some comment like "those who wait later in life to have kids" and he shot me a smirking look.
I was kind of offended because I wanted to go off and tell him why I don't have children yet. Unfortunately I couldn't find a decent guy to settle down with until I was 30 and that supposed decent guy turned out to be abusive so I had to wait even longer to find my 2nd husband who I am trying to have children with for over a year and 4 IUI's later. After that meeting was when I had the message from the doctor's office about my BFN.
