Hi, everyone. I'm Susan and I'm beginning my first (and with any luck, last) IVF cycle. I'm 41 (42 in February) and TTC #1.

It's been quite a road (so far). DH and I were happily child-free for years, but about three years ago I started to get second thoughts. We tried naturally for two years, and had one BFP that ended in m/c at six weeks. After trying for six more cycles, I went to an RE and found out that a) I had one blocked tube and b) I had a small uterine septum. I had the septum fixed in March and hoped for a natural BFP. No dice.

So here we are. I'm on BCP now and scheduled to start injectibles on 11/19. I am soooo anxious. Part of me isn't sure it's worth it, but I think I would regret not giving biological motherhood my best shot.

Looking forward to spending time with all of you!


Susan CB

Hi Susan,

Welcome! We may be cycling around the same time. I am hopefully starting lupron Wed, but I'm doing a donor egg cycle so no stimming for me. Come join us in the Nov. buddies thread!
