I had anxiety last night again. I think I may actually be PG this time. I'm 10 dpo and my bb's started hurting yesterday. I got a BFP today (but had the hCG trigger) so not sure. Hope everyone else is feeling well!

I am 45 and recently new to this emotional roller coaster, 5/13/09. All I can do is to pray and hold on to my faith. I keep muttering a scripture inside:
Faith is the substance of things hoped for (I am hoping for a BFP leading to delivery of a healthy baby and my health through it all) the evidence of things unseen. ~Hebrews 11:1~
If I can just stop thinking about TTC and the science of doing so, and just enjoy BDing w/DH, I would have much more peace.
Thanks be to God for giving us this chance and especially for the gift He has placed in Dr.B & Dr. M in their expertise and intelligence in performing TR.

Thank You.Ive dealt with All the Ups and down really well except the 1st EP because that one i actually seen the Heartbeat inside my Tube.(It was already leaking Blood so i was off to Surg. ) and one of the MC's in April because a close friend found out she was pregnant the day before i did and she now has a health daughter. I have No Regrets about my TR.I feel truely Blesed to have had the money and chance to have it done because even though it hasnt gone my way (YET)i wouldnt of ever had the chance to even try to have a baby with my husband.When i picked Chapel Hill it had nothing to do with the price or where it was at.I knew i had one chance and me and my DH wanted me to feel in my heart i made the right Chose.There was a Local here that does them for around the same price and i know of people who have used him and had a baby so in the End he would of been alot cheaper since i wouldnt have had to pay for Airfare and hotel but my HEART was ALWAYS with Dr.Berger and i never second guessed my chose and never was nervous (well ok maybe a little with the idea i would fly there from Texas and the place not even be there LoL.Im sure i wasnt the only one with that fear LoL)

Jennifer, I'm so sorry for your losses. I can relate. I've had 6 mc's in my lifetime. Some of them before my TL and some after the TR. Try to keep positive. The older we are the more likely to have mc's due to older eggs. I know it doesn't take the pain and anxiety out of it, but know you are not alone there either. HUGS

It's nice that they have provided this board for us. I've found that it's a good place to go to express/explore our feelings. I don't know why I have this drive to have another baby, but I do. So, despite it all, I continue on. It isn't over until the eggs quit poppin'! hee hee

Im the same way but i think its my own crazy way of not getting my hopes up.I think its the way ive learned to handle the disappointment.Im 35 (almost 36) and ive had 2 EP one in each tube (perfect #'s and i lost my right tube) and 4 MC's.When i think im pregnant or do get pregnant i cant stay positive (even though i have reason to feel that way)i always tell my husband its either going to be a MC or EP (sad thing is ive been right on guessing which one ill have ) I always told myself i would move on when im 35 and here i am almost 36 and still have a tiny bit of Hope.I dont stress anymore Thank Goodness but i keep Hoping for our Dream Baby. Ill keep you in my Thoughts and Prayers i know alot of us need a little uplift from time to time.

Hi Guppy, I'm not 40 yet, but those thouhts have run through my head also. Mine are 10,11,12 and 15. And I think to myself.....Hm, driving cars for the first time and new baby all at the same time? Hm? Maybe another baby is not such a great idea after all. Then when AF shows up I'm upset that it didn't happen and am ready to start another month ttc. Yes it is weird, but no you are not alone. Hope this helps

My oldest is 21. I have a 19 year old daughter who has a 10 month old baby and my youngest will be 17 in September. My family is really supportive. I know many of the women on here are grandmothers and go on to have more children. I don't think it's that, because I would like a little one around to play with my grandson (my daughter and her baby live with us). I can't really put my finger on it. I get all excited when my cycle starts so I can do the fertility treatments, then during the 2ww I have a few bad nights where I feel that way. Wierd! Maybe it's just the fact that I'm over 40 now. I never felt that way with the pregnancies I've lost after TR. I've always been very happy and excited. Sorry for writing a book. Thanks for sharing. It helps to know you are not alone.
I had my TR in '04 at the age of 35. I'm 40 now and my DH and I are actively TTC and going through fertility treatments. I have been pregnant several times since my TR, so it was successful (thank you Dr. Berger!). My question is that sometimes when I'm in my 2ww and I think I may be pregnant, I get really bad anxiety and think to myself "What am I doing!?" I really want another baby, but I can't help it when I get scared about actually being pregnant and having another child. Does anyone else ever feel this way, or am I just all alone?
