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

[35_Smiling]

Evening Ladies,

Today I requested a D&C to be done for tomorrow. I have an appointment with another doctor who I met with today (for the second opinion) and we will discuss it again tomorrow morning at 10:30am.

Today I met with this doctor regarding my history. We sat down and looked at all the dates/times/beta's, etc. I went in and got another u/s done and there were no growth from last week and my Beta remained the same as well. This time the lady did both internal and external u/s.

Ladies, I am at peace with this decision. I know I have said not too long ago that I want to wait and hold on to the 15% chance that this could be a viable pregnancy. The facts are the facts and this pregnancy is not going anywhere. I am doing my body no good by making hold on to something that is already gone. My husband and I talked about it this evening and he is on board with me. He said he prefers his wife to be healthy then to hold on to something and do harm to me more. I agree. The good thing is the IUI worked for us on the first round; therefore, we hope it will work again on the second round too.

I will email a friend of mine in hope she will update my journal again for me once I meet with this doctor again tomorrow to let you all know my outcome.

This is for the better good ladies and plus, we get the D&C done we have a good chance to start again come Jan/or Feb

Please continue to pray for me. This will mean a lot to me. Thank you all
Love always Chrystie (aka Kennesha)

Im so sorry was hoping it would be a better outcome, but glad you are at peace with your decision. Its so frustrating that there are so many wonderful women on here having troubles. I hope that you get your forever bfp very very soon

Thank you so much. I totally agree with you. I pray we all get our bfp one day soon.

Kennesha - I am sorry to hear your news. That sounds very difficult. Good to hear you are at peace with the decision and that your Husband is so wonderfully support. Good luck for the next time.

I am back at the clinic tomorrow and hoping my IUI is Friday. But it could be sooner. Either way I will be happy to put the needles down.

Going for my 3rd and final IUI this week! Had my Day 10 scan this morning and have 3 18mm follies and 1 19mm folly. Will trigger tomorrow night for the limo ride on Friday.

I asked my doctor how over 200 million sperm could possible miss 4 perfect targets as this and he said - sperm are like men, they never ask for directions! That explains it!!

good luck on friday hope you get a christmas bfp...that would be amazing!

Kennesha - I echo everything these lovely ladies have said, your positive outlook is inspiring and I wish you all the best for your next attempt x x

Kennesha not sure if you did have your D&C today but I hope you are ok, you are in all of our thoughts

I found out today I dont have to wait a month inbetween my frozen transfers so thats good. even though its nice to have a month off I would prefer to just get on with it. I want to see asap if any of my frozen are going to work and if not do another fresh cycle.

so I will be taking Estrace (estrogen) and Aspirin 81mg. from CD2.

Hi Ladies, I had my first appointment today. Im not really sure how i feel to be honest, i'm not sure if i decided on the right course of action considering my very low AMH. The FS is going to start me off on IUI using puregon considering my age (30) and that i have previously had to natural pregnancies. She was happy for me to try clomid but i said i didn't want to as i had heard that it does not work for someone with a low AMH(0.3) and i didn't want to waste time!!

We are going to start in the new year, i have to have a hysteroscopy to have a polyp removed first and all the other appointment's that come along with it!!

Has anyone had any experience with a low AMH and IUI and or Puregon??

I have seen people on here do IUIs with low AMH, Im not sure if they are successful or not though. I know quite a few people who had success with IVF with a low AMH, is that an option for you? its definitely worth trying a couple of IUIs as they are lower cost and less medications.
