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

Crap Hockey. That just sucks ass!

I'm so sorry.

I'm not sure that 3-4 months recovery time is really going to be detrimental to your fertility.

Maybe getting a second opinion is a good idea.

Good luck with your decision.

Readyformore - you hit the nail on the head - it does suck ass!

But it is what it is and will have to accept and continue moving forward - even if the journey just seems to keep getting longer!!

hocky did they say specifically you would have to wait 3-4 months? I just find that bizarre, as I had the exact same surgery. I also was hoping that was why I wasnt getting pregnant but its been almost a year since removal so I think its just the eggs.

if the embryo attaches onto the fibroid it would miscarry, as theres no blood supply etc. It would be a real shame to lose a good embryo that way. I would get it removed but do the ivf first as we talked about. I would also ask them for exact details why you have to wait 3-4 months.

thats a good attitude, theres a lot of waiting with ttcing. even when you start IVF the first one might now work then you have to wait for FETS or fresh cycles. And even if you get a bfp theres waiting till the beta, scans etc. I think we all have to get used to waiting!!

are you one of the people doing acupuncture? if not I really recommend it, its made me so much less anxious about everything.

Hockeyvery decision to make, maybe he thinks the drugs for IVF will make it grow? Other then that I can't see the difference between an IUI cycle and an IVF cycle Hope you can make the a decision that your happy and comfortable with 3-4months is long time to recover but you want the best chance of success as well, maybe as you said go through the stimulation process and see what happensYou can either freeze the eggs if the fibroid gets bigger or move forward if everything stays the same

IDK if this will help or not, but my doc found 3 fibroids in my uterus today...they are on the outer edge, so he said not to worry. I guess the concern is if they are located inside the uterus.

that's awesome Dmom...so is it sinking in yet???

 

[crystal443]

Dmom so glad everything went well, I asked in the other thread how it went so glad the LO is doing well

 

[dachsundmom]

Since this is still the TTC forum, I won't put up pics or say much, but it is starting to sink in. However, I probably won't leave this side of BnB, until someone kicks me out.

The 'other' place is too dismal.

 

[LLbean]

good because we need you here!!!

 

[Natsby]

That is so fantastic Dmom, have you broken the news to Porkchop yet? You may have some jealously issues to deal with there!

He is on a need-to-know basis!

We have another appointment in 2 weeks for injection consultation so I'm going to push for more information. I find it odd that 4 months ago the doc thought it was small and buried in the lining, which would make it difficult to remove surgically. He was ready to move forward with IVF at full speed back then.

But enough of the downer talk!

Dachsundmon - Congrats! Sounds like things are moving along fantasticly!!

Sarah - good luck tomorrow with your transfer! Very anxious to hear how those little eggies de-thaw!

LLBean - when do you hear more? Friday?

 

[dachsundmom]

The next few days on this thread are huge!

 

[LLbean]

yes hopefully wonderful days

I tell you what Dmom...just because you asked, I will do a FRER before the transfer on Saturday ...just to see how HCG is doing that day...hopefully out of my system
