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

[sarahincanada]

The doctor didn't say I needed bed rest, just to relax and take it easy. A good friend of mine who did three rounds of IVF suggested it. It can't hurt so I took her advice (she had a set of beautiful twins) and am trying to be distracted. Or as distracted as I can be.

I wasnt told I needed bed rest, they said people even go back to work after! I lay in bed all day and took it easy. For my FET I think Im going to stay in bed for a couple of days!

After losing and missing a few opportunities for my IUIs I am making the most of my first IVF.

Good luck, Hopefulmom!

I had my 1st ultrasound today and the RE was pleased with the follicle count so I'm trying to relax. I don't remember what the number was...too much was going on I begin Lupron tomorrow-he demonstrated and it looks easy enough. Onward and away! Good luck, ladies!

Hi Sarah

They definately suggested I take a couple of days off of work. Fortunately, I am self employed and no one noticed. After all the work of getting to the IVF it seems like the bed rest can't hurt. Though I definately could have been better prepared.

its funny, we work so hard and the thought of a couple of days in bed sounds like heaven. but once you are doing it you get so bored and want to get up and do stuff! I have so many books that I want to start so I will have to think of it like a book marathon!

p.s just saw your question...I had really sore nipples in the 2WW, probably from the prometrium.

 

[Hopefulmom12]

Thanks Sarah - I can't believe how sore nor how large my nipples are. DH thinks they are great like porn nipples. Of course he can't come near them lol...

I will be glad when the holiday stuff starts this week and I can leave the house again. i am starting to go stir crazy.

Crystal443: hey hun I am doing good thanks. Been busy catching up on my husband’s books at his office before the year ends. Been super doper busy.

Constancev18: :wave: hope you have a great weekend. Hope all went well with the ultrasound! good luck on the Lupron…

Readyformore: thanks hun I was on the progesterone a few days after I ov last cycle but been I m/c’ed I wanted to try to get it boosted with some sort of vitamins. I also have sticky blood issues so I know the vitamins D will sort that out but I feel like I need to be taking more…

I'm pretty sure my thyroid meds come from a pig..........

Anyway, yeah NS I got really tired of stuff going up the vag. First the penis, then the progesterone, then the tampons. By the time it was done, I didn't even want the penis up there anymore!

yeah cracking me up here

NorthStar: wow thanks for the info! I will have a look at it. Good luck with this cycle hun

Vickk1: :wave: hope you have a great weekend.

Googly: :wave: hope you have a great weekend.

Hockey24: I took the progesterone depositories nights find it better for me.

AFM: I am doing great ladies. Been busy trying to get hubbies books in order at his office before the end of year! Wow been super busy here! It’s amazing how ppl who owe us for outstanding invoices over 90days still come up with excuses why they can’t pay our little invoices! And the sad part is that these are huge companies! Arggg. Other then that I am looking forward to meet my new fs again regarding the follow up from the D&C. my appointment is next Wed. Dec.21 and I hope they say we can start again. Need to get my grove on with the its been a long time and I just need it!!…sorry for hubby tho he may need some Red Bull when I am finish with him

Well you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

Hi everyone

Just wanted to pop on and say goodbye, Im away until the new year and wont be coming online. Congrats to all the bfps that happened this past year, and for all the ladies still waiting, I hope 2012 will be our year!

Will catch up when Im back...and hopefully there will be a bfp or two from those who are in their 2WW right now. And if not I think January will be an exciting time on this thread, I will be starting my estrace (estrogen) and baby aspirin at the end of this month when Im CD2.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it, and Happy New Year
