Over 40 & TTC anyone in my boat???
Hi Everyone,
I am 44 this year and am TTC, I got married back in 2012 to my DH... We had a MC back in 2011.
I have 2 daughters for my previous married aged 20 & 16 with we love dearly.
I had been on the POP Cerazette/Cerelle for about 2 years and have hear so horror stories about not having AF etc...
Well I had been one of the lucky ones so far, I came off POP Jan 29th 2014 & O on the 13th.
Then on 15dpo AF came.
I guess I had mixed feelings as we are TTC but was still happy that we are in the game.
Anyone in the same boat?

We have all had one busy week!
Katemac70, welcome. I'm so extremely sorry. (((hugs)))
Olderbuthopeful, welcome. This is a great place for support, your not alone!
Merenda... I know exactly how you feel. I've been doing injectibles for 4 months. My hubby had to give them the first month...after that I decided I wanted to be in charge and did it when I wanted. I do the ovidral shot! It's not as scary because I'd been getting shots and lets face it... I get my blood tested about 8 times a month, so while its not fun, I've gotten used to needles. The trigger shot is a bit bigger, but I was in a place where I needed to use it... TMI here, bathroom stall at work. I scared me, but the I kept my mind on the bigger picture. You can do it. Inbox me and I will give you my # if you need help.
Karlou, Can't wait for Sunday! You know we are all praying/hoping/fingers&toes crossed for you!!!! http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/res/img/forum/emoticons/stork_pink.gif
Essemkay- Good luck! Hope all is good!
Me; got bloods Tuesday, estrogen not as high as hoped go back on Friday for bloods and a sonogram. Then they will let me know when to go back,.... the whole IUI is a bit of unchartered territory for me. I normally use trigger and ti, but this time.... no ti. If we do conceive, it will be an interesting conversation about where babies come from!!!! (smile there).
Still waiting to hear about loan preapproval. Got a notice that my credit was pulled this morning... Getting pre approved for a loan is a whole lot like ttc!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Jaxx6207, Thank you so much for the welcome and the hugs. So sweet of you.
It sounds like you are going through alot with ttc. I pray that your pre-approval for loan goes through. Funny that you said it's like ttc.
I'm wishing all the best for you and hoping you conceive very soon!
((hugs)) to you too!

Welcome Kate!
what a story and what a strong person you are to overcome it!
Good luck in your tic. We are all in almost the same boat here and it has been very comforting talking to wonderful ladies who are always "here" when you need them.
Thank you so much Jaxx. It is not the shot am afraid of, it is the drug. But i will definitely go for whatever it takes next cycle. For the moment i did my BD and got in to the tww again.(happy loan approval)
Beadghill get that BFP and nothing will be able to upset you (or everything will) :)))
Karlou keeping fingers crossed for you
babyangelg essemkay ldrbuthopeful (i hope i am not forgetting anyone) have a bfp ending cycle
Kisses and hugs to all

So.... I woke up with a big fat cold this morning! Thanks to my 'back-to-school' son who thoughtfully passed it along. LOL Of course since I am charting my bbt it is all out of whack now! I told my dh it was all screwy and he commented about looking at the source! Ha! He thinks he's funny. Guess I'm going to rely more on my opk and bd every other day then!
Lets get a bunch of bfp this month ladies. Wouldn't that be fantastic?!!

Hi!
Yes, it is good to be with a group of women who are experiencing the same thing! Sometimes its a bit hard to talk to my friends. Most would wonder why I want a baby at my age!
Still working on my loan. Paid off old debt and my numbers fell...grrrr.
IUI, spending more time with the Dr. Was there yesterday and again today! Due to holiday had to pick up more drugs. Fell asleep last night and thank God someone called because I woke up fast and ran to get the meds. Think I might have vented a bit to nurse this morning. Have to get bloods every time you go! She laughed. Said its normal to feel that way. Hubby sperm at question and I'm doing treatments to make sure egg has good lining and ready before IUI. Think he should have a colonoscopy as a sympathy measure!!!!! ... Grrr
I am counting my blessings today. Found out that when I went to get med the cash price was $912. OMG, I have a 0 copay. I'm grateful that I have insurance but the kid in my is a bit impatient and wants instant gratification! Hope everyone is having a greeeeeeattt day!
