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

[sarahincanada]

LL is I really 3 days until egg retrieval as it says in your ticker? I have totally lost track of your journal, heading over to catch up now x x

Yup, it happens on the 16th!

I cant wait. can you remind me of what happens the first 5 days for you...when do they do the pgd etc? I just remember you got the full report on the morning of the transfer. so your transfer might be next saturday, mine should be thursday. will you be testing your trigger out again? luckily I dont have a trigger so any lines will be baby but I know not to think anything too promising until the beta.
just one weekend to get through then an exciting week starts

Sarah, this might sound really strange, but I woke up this morning and was thinking about your FET. Does that make me crazy.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I have a good friend that has had many ET. Her fresh cycle failed, and those embryos were great. She used an egg donor that was in her late 20s. This particular donor had been used with 2 other women and both of those women got pregnant on the first ET. My friend then did a FET with remaining embryos and got pregnant. Her son is now 3, (and a little stinker too, lol).

Wishing you lots of luck.

LL good luck with your transfer coming up. It sounds very exciting.

Hockey, glad to see you're finally on the IVF train and hopefully going somewhere now.

haha no I dont think that was crazy! I was thinking about you the other night too thinking that I hope you get your bfp soon. so many regulars are pregnant now so I hope the luck continues. Ive been reading about a lot of successful FETs with SET. I am just going to keep in my mind it could take up to 6 months. I feel so much calmer since starting the acupuncture, have you ever tried it? its even helped my comfort eating, I feel more relaxed and dont feel the need to comfort with food

No, I've never tried it. I have heard good things about accupuncture while undergoing IVF. I would probably try it if I did IVF. I saw a show on tv last night and saw someone doing accupuncture. Something about the needles in the face really turned me off. Maybe I could do it and just ask to not have the face done!

 

[LLbean]

The 5 days is to see which ones make it ...the PGD tests happen between day 3 and day 5...they have to be big enough to test so...

I do not plan to test at all until the blood test. Lets see if I can do it ;-)

 

[dachsundmom]

Liz, seriously? No POAS?

ewww face would be horrible!! I lie face down and get one in the top of my head, a couple in the back of the neck, lower back and then legs if its before ovulation. I really do feel much calmer overall, she was saying if your nervous system is not working well its hard to get pregnant and this brings it into balance...so you would think acupuncture would help those not doing ivf too.

hi indigo, how are you feeling??!!

 

[LLbean]

LOL Dmom...I said I was going to "attempt" to not POAS...

Sarah... needles...Acupuncture...I get them in my forehead, my head and my right ear...

 

[crystal443]

Morning girls

Sarah- I get mine in my face, forehead, cheeks etc. as well she also puts them in my stomach, and down my legs but she can't put them in even on both sides because I get a rash....weird hey? After she does the front I roll over and she does cupping for my spine and also does needles as well I go every two weeks now but wow what a difference it makes. I've read good things about cycles using frozen embies so I hope it's first time lucky for you!! Only a few more days to go!! Frozen or fresh at least your in with a chance

LL- Can't wait to see how things go for you over the week will you find out what gender again? Everything crossed for you, and I cannot believe you are going to try to make us wait until your bloods kidding of course, I'm sure you'll do what's best for you

Indigo-Hey, hope your feeling better

Ready-I think about all the girls alot on hereIt's not weird I think we talk to each other so much that it's natural to think about each other

Dmom-you've got an exciting week coming as well...can't wait to see how you get on with your scan

Hockey- I hope your IVF journey is short and sweet,just as it should be

 

[LLbean]

yes the PGD will let us know what we got

 

[crystal443]

Very exciting!! I hope it's one of each

 

[LLbean]

well not to be greedy but more than that would be awesome so we could freeze some LOL

 

[readyformore]

Not greedy, just practical.

 

[LLbean]

indeed

well just got my trigger shot...come on Monday and show us more eggies that grew and fertilized!

 

[crystal443]

I can't wait to see what your final numbers are...I've got everything crossed you end up getting some frosties as well

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!!

this time next week a couple of us will be pupo LL cant wait to hear how tomorrow goes

I was just thinking that I hope if any of my blasts are bad that they just fail the defrost so we can discard and get onto the next one. That would be so much better than them surviving for a week or a few weeks. my clinic says they have the highest defrost rate in the city, but I expect I will lose 1 or 2 in the process.

I am now taking progesterone 3x a day! I had to print a little chart to tick off when I take them, as I also take estrace 2 x a day, and baby aspirin 1x.

how is everyone else?

 

[LLbean]

I will be doing the progesterone oil on Tuesday and the Heparin (instead of aspirin) after the transfer

Hi ladies

Good luck with your ER tomorrow LL, fingers crossed you get plenty of good eggs.

AFM, my first FS appointment tomorrow, and possibly my OH is going to JIAC (again! I've posted this on the LTTC thread but the lab failed to process his pre-Xmas SA ) so it's a busy day. I'm on cycle 2 of Clomid and seem to tolerate it pretty well, no SE

Sarah - not long now until your FET
