Stay Positive!

[spunky66]

Hi from Oregon!
I just want to encourage everyone to try to stay positive while going through the process!

I got married a little less than a year ago and my husband and I were both 39 and about to turn 40. We both wanted kids but I knew that the chances (at least statistically speaking) were decreasing because of my age. And, to make things more complicated, my husband had testicular cancer in his 20s which meant a lower sperm count, low motility, etc. It's actually a miracle that he is producing any sperm!

I went through two unsuccessful IUIs and then took a month off because I just thought I needed a break.

We decided to go through IVF in February and miraculously....I'm now 3 months pregnant!

My best advice is to really try and stay positive and educate yourself as much as you can about the process. I was constantly bombarded with negative statistics...esp. about my age!

I wish everyone the best and if anyone has any questions, I'd love to chat!

Hi,
I did not have any bleeding, but I remember them telling me that some bleeding is normal as long as it wasn't heavy.
I did experience a lot of cramping though (although it felt different from menstrual cramps somehow), which went on for about a month.
Good luck with everything today and let me know how it goes.
