TTC 2 years, over 40, New to Forums

[FindingKismet]

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting on a forum. I just feel so alone and I'm looking for some women who can relate to what I am going through. I'd like to think I'm crying because of pregnancy hormones, but it's only day 8 of the luteal phase ... I feel ridiculous.

We decided to TTC summer 2011. Within a few months I had pain/bleeding, and was diagnosed with a large fibroid. I had it surgically removed summer 2012. We had to wait a few months to heal, then tried for 6 months naturally. Now we are seeing a fertility specialist.

I am 41 now. I have a short luteal phase (charting), and we just found out my husband has low motility (21%). My insurance covers nothing, but that's a whole other topic.

We are planning to try IUI and then IVF if needed. We tried this month naturally again because I had blood work/HSG and we were waiting for the results. The Dr. gave me progesterone suppositories. Now I'm feeling so tortured waiting to find out if I'm pregnant. I know the chances aren't good but you never know!

I'm just so tired of living like I'm pregnant most of the time and never actually being pregnant. And everyone keeps having babies everywhere, except me. Sorry for the pity party. I'm just in a bad place.

Hello Kismet

I'm sorry you are feeling like this, Lttc can be hard! My dh has low motility too, I'm not sure about exact numbers, we never really got told, but I guess really low means really low, so our numbers probably don't matter.

Myshel, a bnb member just opened up a new Lttc #1, for new members to this section, come and join us there if you like! There are lots of Ladies already, it's a great thread!
