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

[hockey24]

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?

Hey Sarah - what is estrace?

Did the doctor say if they couldn't get to the other 3 or if that had re-absorbed?

Hey - 3 days since transfer....how are you doing???

The progesterone in oil is giving me side effects so I can't tell what could be a promising p-symptom (TMI: like I had loads of cm yesterday, which I took as a good sign but...)

Thankfully (?) I'm overwhelmed by work bc I unexpectedly had to take more time off (bc af was delayed which delayed procedure) so I don't have time to obsess like I know I would. Gah!

 

[crystal443]

LL, you might have had a few empty follies, not all of them have eggs sometimes.. That doesn't impact quality though so don't worry about that. Ten is still a great number to work with. Let them be 10 super eggs Can't wait to see how they do

Sarah- you're getting close to transfer day Can't wait to see how you're little guy or gal does Question for you, how long does it take to thaw an embie?

Dmom- Soon scan time cannot wait

 

[sarahincanada]

LL I wrote on your journal so

crystal Im not sure how long it takes to defrost, but I dont think long. They defrosted hubbies sperm while I was there, so perhaps this is the same? I know they want the consents signed as they defrost before you come in...I suppose to have time to watch the blast and make sure its looking good, and if not have time to defrost another.

so my ultrasound was perfect, it went from 'triple layered' on friday to 'compacting' now that Im on progesterone as well. transfer will be on thursday, they will phone on wednesday with my time. had a little bit of self doubt and almost changed to 2 embies, I was so tired getting up at 5:30am to drive 2 hours that I was thinking I dont want to do this every month, but I didnt end up changing anything so 1 it is.

after I went to crate and barrell and spent $250
