Okay, this is tmi but, I have to ask...

I warn you - tmi - but I'm a bit panicky.  Its not what you think tho - had a m/c a few weeks ago and have been trying hard to keep positive. Today, just found a white hair - pubic hair. You might think this is hilarious and laugh but, now I'm starting to lose hope. I'm starting to think its a sign I'm too old to have a baby.  I feel so sad and kinda helpless - I'm 41 and this feels like I should give up.  Today , I feel "old" .

It's fertility medicines.  Since I tried to have baby for 6+ months and not success.. doctor consider I am infertility so she put me on fertility medicines...

Clomid or Femara
Estrdiol
Premotrium
Novarel
Follistim
Repronex.. etc...

During one cycle i have to take those infertiltiy medicines...

CD 3 - 7 - Clomid
CD 8 - 12 - Estradiol
CD 3, 5, 7, 9 - Follistim injection or Repronex -
CD 13 - have sonogram - if there are mature follicles
CD13 or Cd14 - Novarel injection to release eggs
CD15 - BD or IUI.

I tried all this for 21 months and I got tired... frustrated and depressed..

You mention you are asian... what's nationality are you?  I am asian also...

LOL, thanks for the tips and comments girls !  You know, dh thought my posting about my hair was funny - he said that we sure talk about "everything".   No, Tanker Chic - not a blond hair though I haven't plucked it out yet. There's a chinese old wives tale : they say that when you pluck out one white hair - seven more will replace it.   I'm asian so if I believed that I'd have a whole head of white hairs by now ...hm...wonder if it pertains to pubes ?  No, shaving isn't on my list - going bald is not my kind of "look".   Pamela - "down there dye" ? Wow, but would probably be less embarrassing if I just get a box of regular hair dye instead !  Also economical......Thats a thought though - I'll decide later on in future when more pop up...(sigh)......more...... :0  ( silent scream ) . Baby Blue, or anyone,  what medicine were u talking about ? I was told about baby aspirin and that is on my list....I got pregnant twice now so I'm hoping that means I'm still reproductive ..huh ? Huh ?   Thanks again all , I feel better  - more relieved !

doesn't matter how old you are... as long as your reproduction is still working...

White hair doesn't mean anything... I have white hair since I was 18...

Just that 41 yrs old have less chance than younger age... but you still able to get pregnant... You might need little help from the medicine to boost up your hormone....

good lluck to you..

Thank you thank you thank you - you're all more comforting than dh -  ( and he's always complaining about his head of grey hairs - hmpf ! ). My hair is black and the greys are more white so they really stand out. I've stopped plucking my head hairs out - okay, just the ones that show on top....But this new one freaked me out and depressed me like you wouldn't believe. I used to say I would never dye my hair but, ....hm.....  
I feel a little better - thank you all again - it is a little hard trying to stay positive - i guess some hormones left too - even a month later.  Waiting for AF now - hope not too long a wait....  
We have the day off today so we're driving to Ottawa - and I'm going to pig out.  ( I had told dh years agao that when I find my first white down there - that he better take me out for a nice big meal ).  Want to be so stuffed I'll fall into a carb-induced sleep on the drive home...  
thanks again !

Girl-

I have a couple of gray pubic hairs and I've pulled them out and they keep coming back.  I am pregnant with my second child.  I am 40 years old and 20 weeks pregnant.  It's not too late.  My neighbor just had a little girl and she just turned 42.  It's NOT too LATE

Awww, it's not silly. YOu are still in an emotional state and probably still a tad bit hormonal as well. That combined with have a "feeling old" day makes it tough.  Sending you a great big hug!!!  XO

I know how you feel.  My birthday this year has been hard - for some reason, 46 feels a lot older than 45 - I had just had my baby, blah, blah.  Anyway, I have found that there are some days that you just feel downright ancient and then there are some that you feel like you did when you were in your 20's (heck even in the teens).  Since you just had a m/c, go easy on yourself.  If you don't feel exactly positive, don't worry - those good feelings will come back with time.  Remember you're just now getting over the m/c & keep that in mind when you feel helpless.  It's an awful feeling but it WILL get better, I promise - SSBD!, jen

I have found lots of white hairs down there, started at about age 31, I think maybe you should be looking at it as itf you found the one lucky hair of hope. I am 40 and about to give birth and some days I feel like I should be this baby's grandma ot MOMMY but these feeling pass, give yourself so time to grieve and re think things, gair hair can come from hormones and stess not just age, so pamper your self and rethink things later on, I think you can have a heathly baby at 41, huggs Julia
