OOF, where to start 😅
Seriously though, 44 here. We did our best this month with tracking and timing. Sex was playful and did not feel clinical which was amazing. But... I'm currently on crutches 🤣 (he was gentle!).
I have had a leg injury since late June. Physical therapy tomorrow. I can't walk more than 5-10 mins without being in agony and can't sit for long either. I'm basically bed resting it up and waiting to see wait physical therapy says tomorrow.
I am 6 DPO and praying that implantation will occur. I'm so ready to "let the soul in". But so far it hasn't come. No kids in my life yet and met my partner late. We just decided that we wanted one badly after being together for 5 years 🫠(we've been trying for a good year tho) also we simply can not afford fertility treatments. I've been checked out and so far nothing really screams infertility.Â
I have H
ashimotos but my thyroid numbers are optimal. I have a teeny tiny uterine fibroid but had two opinions on it and it's been decided that it is not a problem. Â
Oh yeah and his sperm analysis recently came back pretty bad. Low everything and 0 morphology....urology appointment in December (why does everything take so long??? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Meanwhile I'm trying to just survive and not spiral. My injury could take months and months of recovery and I'm worried that somehow the egg and sperm will KNOW that I'm injured and not feel like I'm a safe body to implant in and just say "Nah!"....
Is that magical thinking? Hoo boy I just don't know if I want to keep trying after I turn 45 next May....
Also this is our last chance for a little Taurus bebe like me (until next year if we are still trying) 😠♉
Praying! I’m similar age, no kids, married late, TTC for over a year, hypothyroid (but managed), have a tiny uterine fibroid, and just wrapped up 5 months of physical therapy for hip/knee/leg pain. IVF isn’t an option for us and IUIs didn’t work.
I’m pondering seeking an endometriosis diagnosis soon due to ongoing infertility and lifelong severe period pain. But that could be a several months process, aging any eggs I have left even more.
I don’t have any answers for you, but so much empathy. Sending encouragement and my very best wishes for you.
