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

[hockey24]

Ok good. Then I won't worry too much about it.

All else fails - I have a stash of 2 900 i/u's of Follistim that I saved from the IUI's.

Hockey as long as they have not already been punctured you should be fine...

 

[hockey24]

They are still sealed and in the box and nestled safely in the refrigerator. Holding on to them until I'm good and PG before donating them for someone else to use. They don't expire until 2014.

Thinking of you Sarah. I hope you're not driving yourself crazy.

Morning girls- EC collection is tomorrow morning for me at 7:00 am I triggered last night so just have to cross my fingers there's something there now.

Sarah- so glad the spotting has stopped, you must be going mad waiting for your scan.

Ready- I can't wait for you this month, are you going to make your DH abstain?

Hockey- Can't wait for you to get started..I've got a stash of GonalF in the fridge as well lol..I'll hang on to it until for now and if I ever get pregnant I'll get rid of it then.

I feel soooooo sick today

I hope its due to rising hcg but its horrible. I havent been able to do anything all day. indigo when did your start? Im 6 weeks on tuesday. my book says that people susceptible to sickness often get it worse, I so easily get sick in cars, boats, planes etc. But dmom it wasnt that way for you. I hope it eases off, all I keep thinking is hopefully it means things are ok inside, after my spotting I will take the sickness.
hope everyone else is ok

Hey Sarah, mine came on quick at about 5w3-4d...... And stayed until about 10w. Good luck dude, it's not nice, I have total sympathy! My best advice, be prepared - if at all possible - to spend several days in bed watching tv or something. I did 2 weeks straight at one point... It was the only way it was at all manageable.

thanks googly, I have spent all day in bed and slept most of the afternoon. its weird to have it constantly all day and nothing you can do. hubby is going to pick up progesterone for me right now and I said to ask the pharmacy. I assume gravol is ok to take so I might have to. oh jeez so I might have 4 more weeks of this

and wow you are a lime

 

[LLbean]

Crystal will be sending wonderful vibes your way for the EC!!!!!

Sarah yup when it hits you there is no warning

Mine always seemed to peak about 7 weeks and it has gotten worse with each subsequent pregnancy. I have never gotten sick in cars, boats, etc, but MS would hit me like a wall and last 24/7. With my last pregnancy, I was sick from 4week 1day, to 20 weeks.
It's absolutely horrible, but those babies have a way of not only making you forget just how miserable it was, but convincing you that you want to do it again.

It really is horrible when you are going through it, but just keep telling yourself that it will pass, it's only temporary and eventually you will feel better. With my last baby, no meds would help, but oddly, I found that fresh air and really salty crackers would help. And just telling myself how temporary pregnancy is........"this too shall pass", it really helped.

Absolutely he is abstaining.........I just haven't told him yet. I'm working up the nerve to tell him it's a no go after tomorrow.

After 3 days abstinance, he had 14 million and only 24% motility prewash. After 6-7 days, it was 34 million and 44% motility, so we definately need many days. It's just too low of a success rate to begin with, then when you add low count and motility to the mix........

FX for the transfer Crystal. I will be loging in tomorrow to see how the ER goes.

 

[Butterfly67]

Crystal I have everything crossed for the EC

Sarah bummer about the sickness. I also get really bad motion sickness (I can get sick in a lift ) but I have no ms. It's a double edged sword I think, ms is miserable but does give you reassurance that all is ok

 

[Indigo77]

Sarah....Mine started at 4 weeks...I am sorry to hear that you have MS...
