Infertile at 33.... Is it possible?
I have an appt at the end of this month to find out what my next steps are. I had my first child in my early twenties and had two more in the following years. At 28 I had one tube removed and the other tied after an emergency c section with my third pregnancy. In June of 2018 I had the one remaining tube untied. I have had zero positive pregnancy tests. I was tracking CM, periods, LH surges, bbt, and everytime we had sex. I even did two rounds of clomid. I did this for about 8 or so months and just stopped.
We just bought a big house and my husband is having a garage sale this weekend. He got to thinking about all the baby stuff we bought last year when we assumed we'd get pregnant right away. Since it's been almost a year he asked today if we should sell everything. I'm turning 34 this summer. I said I would call my Dr and see if I could get a blood test and a dye test to see if my tube is open and to see if I still have eggs. My consult is at the end of the month.
I cried in the shower tonight thinking that I might hear from the Dr that I'm not able to have anymore kids. When he and I got pregnant for the third time we decided he should be the stay at home parent with all three kids and I focused on my career. I really missed out on all their first years of life. I'm at a point in my career where I'm making amazing money and have plenty of time for the kids. So now would be an ideal time to have a baby and it feels like a cruel joke that when it was less than ideal I got pregnant. We weren't financially sound and had nothing figured out but we made it work. I just wish I had spent more time at home.
Any thoughts to share? Thanks for letting me get all this out. Not many of my gfs have kids and the ones that do have fairly young kiddos and I don't think would understand my situation.
