DH turned 35 today. Which means in 5 months to the day I will be 35. Turning 30 never bothered me why the heck would 35.... Duh its the number doctors throw out there as the end of your fertile reproductive life. Which translates to you are now OLD. Now I know that there is no switch that just turns off your system when you turn 35 and that many women have children even in their 40s. But I am freaking out!
So I will be turning 35 and On top of the stress from work... I feel I just need to suck it up buttercup and move on with my life. But I just can't. We can't. We want to be parents and we would be great parents. I still don't understand why this is happening to us. I am convinced it is not in Gods plan. He is a compassionate God and would not torture good people like this.
Anyway that is my rant for the morning. I miss you all dearly. In a few days I will be on forced vacay. Yes I have worked so hard this year I haven't used but a 2 days of vacation- now I am forced to take 5 days or lose it. I can't wait! Although next years plate is just as full already. Anyway I hope that I will be able to catch up with a few of you while I am on vacay and meet the newbies that have joined while I am making the most of your tax dollars. Have a great rest of the week!

Me-30, DH newly 34, diagnosed with PCOS in Nov/Dec 2008. 3 Failed cycles of Clomid. (50mg, 100mg, 150mg) Started working with RE Nov 26. Asked for & started M
LOL Kitty you crack me up!
You and me both.
Terri,
I totally get it. DH will be 32 in January, and I follow in June. Ever since we started TTC, these birthdays have not been fun. And, I also feel this urgent need to accomplish having a baby before 35. However, both of my grandma's had babies in their 40's, so I definitely know it is possible and it gives me hope.
I just have such a strong feeling that you'll get to be a mom. Unfortunately, things rarely happen in our time and the schedule we want. I don't understand it, but I guess all we can do is stay the course.
How is everything going with you? Cyst free, I hope!
Take Care

HI Stephany!
Yes both my grandmothers had their last babies at 35 and 40 so it can be done.
Yay for being cyst free! I had my first cyst last cycle, and it was not too much fun... and mine wasn't even that big-- 5cm I think. But, I definitely knew it was there before going in for the baseline US. Hopefully it will help you get your bfp soon!
AFM, I'll be testing on Christmas Eve... It could either be a fabulous idea and a real Christmas miracle, or a complete disaster! lol... Thanks for your well wishes!

Ouch 5 cm is still enough to cause much discomfort.
Hi there Terri,
I'm glad to hear there
