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

[dachsundmom]

I think GNC is a great brand and sometimes, you can find their products at Sams.

Yep it is perfect LL...not sure why mine came in 50mg form The ones from the chemist here are 25mg so I'm on 75mg now

OH and my avatar is my puppy hehehe

Thanks Crystal and LL well I've ordered some from the US, and we will see if I am brave enough to take it. It's the 25mg capsules I've ordered, I haven't had any tests yet so I may wait until after I see the FS (appointment is next month )

Little Eddie is just soooo cute

I took 600mg (6 pills throughout day) of Coq10 for 5 dys last wk and ended up itching like crazy..even inside my ear canals, and I gained 10lbs. It's weird bc I used to take them about a yr ago and didn't have a problem. I had the bad reaction with the Vitacost brand. Needless to say, I stopped. After much trepidation, I started taking 75mg of DHEA yesterday. So far so good.

Sorry LL, I am thinking of my mum's friends Yorkie who is called Eddie anyway he is just very cute indeed

Constancev18 that is a LOT of COCK, DM has had some itching issues lately as well I wonder now....

I've been on 100mg of cock and just today went up to 200mg, and will go up to 400mg in a couple of weeks. My FS appointment is next month and I will have been on it for over 3 months by then.

 

[dachsundmom]

600mg? Is that the dosage you used before?

 

[crystal443]

Wow 600 mg is a high dose of COQ10..I was prescribed 150 mg..your SE might be from to much of a good thing, although it seems wrong to say you're having to much COCK

NorthStar- The 3 warnings FS gave me about DHEA were if I had irregular heartbeats or a history of siezures I couldn't take it, the other was to not exceed the 75mg a day because it can not only mess your cycles up it can mess your hormones up. The COQ10 dosage was 150mg and he said this was plenty to do what we want it to do Just be careful I wouldn't want to see you do more harm then good

LL-Love the name Oliver...sooooo cute!!

I'd have to find the articles but few studies I read indicated 600mg was the effective amount. I was taking 300 mg in the morning and at night.

600mg? Is that the dosage you used before?

Yep, I used 600 last time as well. I don't know what I had a reaction to-the Coq10 or the materials they add to it (Other Ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), rice flour, stearic acid, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.) It received almost a perfect 5 stars on Vitacost so maybe it's just me.

I'm off the yellow-brick road..for a while. Maybe I'll reinvestigate at a lower dosage if this ivf doesn't work out. I'm all about the supps.

I want to buy a pretty summer blouse on eBay but I keep thinking, "What if I get pregnant?" Augh. I think I'm going to buy it in my regular size and be done with it. I go for my first scan on Fri and start stims on Sat. I'm nervous but excited. DH looks a little over-awed with the needles but promises he can do it. I told him we'll have to find some youtube videos. I can't believe this is almost happening after years of discussing it with DH--he was so adamant/macho that we'd be able to do it naturally.

Also, did I mention DH was against more than 1 embryo being put back but after the RE explained everything DH was on board for several being put back, if there are that many good ones (I'm 43)? Fx'd.

Maybe you should just take a lower dose...it might not be an allergic reaction, just too darn much.

Good suggestion bc the more I think about it the more I think it was the amount. It's just weird as I was taking the same amount before w/o a problem. I may start it again in a bit but at a much lower dose. If the Jan ivf fails maybe we'll do another in Mar and I can restart the Co in late Jan.

Well, since COCK works on things hormonally realted, if you think of eggs that way, as your hormone levels change over the years, you will react to the supplement differently, one would think.

Buy the blouse in your regular size, if you don't need it, which I hope is true, you aren't going to be upset bc you spent the money and you can wear it the following year.

Your clinic will allow 4-5 to be put back in?

Thanks, that's 2 votes for buying it in my reg size!

The RE will put several back, but they do not grow them for 3-5dys or to the blast stage. I think they're willing to put in a few to compensate for this. I asked the RE about allowing them to grow but he felt the environment external to the womb was too hostile to make it worthwhile. How many will your doc put back & does he allow them to grow for a few dys?

 

[dachsundmom]

Two at a 5DT.

I need a bit of feedback please. I have been doing clomid and injections for an IUI. This cycle I seem to have lots of follicles at least ten on my right side and I think a similar amount on my left side. I know that a number of them are the right size - 19, 18, 21, 22. The nurse told me to buy more bravelle but last night the clinic called to say that I was to do the trigger (ovidrel) and then come to see the doctor today at 1pm.

No mention of my IUI nor anything else. I have a feeling that I might have too many follicles now. If I have done the trigger can the cycle be moved to IVF? I know that sometimes IUI's can be converted but I don't know when.

Needless to say I have been running it through my mind all night.

Thanks ladies!

Sorry that I do not have any advice! What did the dr eventually recommend/do?

Def buy the blouse in your regular size as Dmom said you'll be more then happy not to wear it if you fall preggers My last FS sounded alot like your clinic with the views of being safer inside the body then out, she was going to put back 1 at 2days if I had anything to put backyou're lucky though that your clinic will at least allow a few to be put back so you have a good shot I kinda think it was about the money though for us as we would have to keep going back.

Our new FS and funnily the same clinic has different ways of doing things because he said if there is enough to go to a 5 day he will and we would discuss how muan (1 or 2) at that time and if there weren't enough to go for 5 day then he would put 2 back at day 3.

Hopefulmom12- That sounds like a lot of follies from Clomid..not sure though but maybe they want to see how many matured before they commit to an IUI.

hi everyone! been so busy, no time to come on here
just had acupuncture for the first time with a woman who has lots of experience with fertility so Im so excited. she is going to calm my body down for the FET, will be going 2x a week and the day before and after the blast transfer. she said that if your nervous system is weakened (from a variety of factors) then it will not be successful at getting pregnant. she said she has seen lots of people who fail on the fresh cycle due to the stress on the body from the medications and have success on the frozen.
gotta run, catch up soon
