anyone over 35 going for fertility treatments this year? IUI, IVF etc

[sarahincanada]

well, i now need to vent. i am on cd13 and am actually feeling major O pains on my left side. Unfortunately I wont be with DP for another 24 hours. Temp definitely went up and I am sure I am O'ing. this sucks. I'm so mad and upset. The damn thing couldn't have waited another day?? So now I'll only have next cycle to try and then a big maybe to the end of august, but with my luck, as has happened alllllll year long, the timing was just off. (reminder to some: my dp lives in another country, across the pond!! ) So upset.

oh no thats annoying hope that your egg hasnt popped out yet and it sticks around for a full 24 hours in time for spermies.

have you ever considered freezing his sperm and then doing IUI for the time you are not together? what is happening after august?

good luck

Sarah...that dip on 9dpo and rise on 10dpo is exciting!
Maybe the quads stopped bickering about which spot to take and implanted yesterday!

LOL!!!!! thank you for the laugh, I needed that

you think its exciting....I think its annoying as its too erratic.....my chart has been so weird this month so Im not thinking its anything exciting. period is due on thursday and I always have a 14 day LP, I hope clomid doesnt lengthen it

honestly I cant ever imagine getting a bfp so I will be floored the month it happens!!

I'd say you are in pretty good shape as you typically OV 12-36 hours after the positive test; 36 hours being the norm.

thank you. i hope so. i think the lh hormone is strange and i need to research it more. I didnt have a pos opk 4 hours ago, so maybe that means the egg already popped and i missed it. ? or maybe whenit leaves the ovary, the LH hormone no longer shows. i dont get it. I have a temp rise on sunday morning. grrr. i didnt te,p today becaus ei was on a 9 hour flight. i'll temp tomorrow. if it is still elevated, i definitely Oed.

You just answered your own question, lol. Stick to the tests as a guide and the temp for the answer. Tomorrow's will be telling.

I often still have a positive ov test 12 hours later and even the next day when I think I have already ovulated and my temp has gone up. I think it can linger even after ov. I have a short window....I usually get my positive ov test the day I ovulate and then my temp goes up the next day. Im hoping you caught it, its hard to know exactly so dont worry yourself about it. calm your mind and body so that it can do its thing now....hopefully egg and sperm meet and implant

AFM another temp drop (my chart is a rollercoaster) and BFN so I think Im out. Im ok though, it was a fun month doing the monitoring so I dont mind doing it again.

Would you try again the same next time, or would you do Clomid with IUI?

 

[Indigo77]

Oh, crap....Was hoping to see a high temp today...Sorry it didn't work out this time...
Will you be trying again with monitoring next cycle?

so this is my plan...

july: same clomid with monitoring (was going to ask for luteal phase support but going to vegas july 24 so wont be able to)

august: mum coming from the uk for a month and sister, BIL and nieces for 2 weeks, so taking the month off yayyyy! might do some temping here and there to keep a chart for that month and will have a bit of where we can but other than that nothing.

sept: third and final clomid and monitoring will ask for LP support

oct, nov, dec: clomid (or injectables if they advise) and IUI

2012: IVF....hubby isnt too happy about the $$$ but we earn good money so have to try it.

hubby is always very optimistic, he firmly believes my polyp was in the way so last years tries dont count and technically we have only had 2 cycles since my operation. he was saying to me today 'well it takes a 'normal' couple up to a year to get pregnant, if you pop out 3/4 eggs per cycle then we should get pregnant by 4 cycles'! his optimism annoys me sometimes as he is optimistic every cycle and nothing has happened. but its good too, balances me out

anyone else got a rough plan like me? Indigo I think you said 2 more tries then going for help? how are you doing velo?

 

[Indigo77]

I think i will use your template...will start investigating/ testing in august...
If hubby's SA comes back with issues...gameplan will change...

I'm doing okay, impatiently waiting for my ob/gyn appt in a month. In the meantime trying to relax/de-stress and not try too hard. However I did notice 2 days ago ovulation pain on the left, then two hours later on the right, then on the left a bit later again. Was my body releasing three eggs?!? Hmm.

Probably Friday...
