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

[hockey24]

hockey are they giving you daily updates on how the embryos are progressing? hope they are all going strong

No Sarah, they are not which is kind of disappointing as I was really looking forward to that. My doctor's theory is that in order to check on their development, they have to open the incubator and they prefer to just leave the in there to do their thing.

He did say they do something on Day 3 (today) but gave no indication that I would receive a call. Since its Saturday, I have no one I can call and harass. Will have to wait til Monday to see if any made it. I'm trying to just go with the flow and not let it stress me. My FS does not have the best bed side manner so I'm not surprised at the lack of communication.

Hey Sarah - how is the finger doing and how's your doggie?

hopobopo - good luck with your IUI[/QUOTE]
I have to wait till March 16th to see if my cysts are gone to then start my gonal F shots again, I'm keeping fingers crossed, I need to learn patience, LOL!

meh so day 14 today and bfn, but also no af. im probably grasping at straws but... i never get positives on opks either (i used the smilys and got a pos once in nov and nothing since despite peeing on them daily from day 9-14 and twice a day day 12-14 in dec, jan and fab). eh well who knows. only thing is.. i have a trip in mid march so if af is coming, she better get here so i can get my next iui in time

drsquid, I just had my first iui on Feb 16, got a BFN, Noticed you are having one too, looking for someone who is sharing similiar exp with, just found this board.

Just joined, nice to have someone to talk to about this. We have been ttc for 5 years. Me 38 - Him 41. I did 6 rounds of clomid 50 no luck. Now seeing specialist. FSH 13 , his counts low/normal. First iui done naturally, no luck. Now waiting to do 2nd iui. CD 17 and still no surge. Bloodwork tested 6 days in a row now (they thought the next day would be the one every time.) my estradiol has gone from 3400 to now 7200. going to do ultrasound tomorrow to find out how many follicles. Worried about them cancelling iui. We travel out of town to do proceedures life been on hold for a week. Why is my surge taking so long? why is my e2 so high?

I'm also waiting to do second IUI! I'm not sure about your questions I'm just learning all these new phrases and things. Good luck with your follicle growth!

Hey Sarah - how is the finger doing and how's your doggie?

we are both healing! doggie has a lot of staples/stitches on her back, we are going for a follow up to my normal vet tomorrow for him to look at it. some of its black so not sure if she will need another surgery. the vet down the road charged us $4000 then said come back in 2 weeks for staple removal...I cant believe they wouldnt give us a free follow up to see how she is healing.

my finger will take about 6 weeks to heal as Im not having surgery on it, just having it heal on its own.its very painful and I get faint just thinking about it. I havent even looked at it, going to take a long time to get over.

my first midwife apt is on thursday and they will order my 12 week scan in about 3 weeks. anxious to see if bub has made it.

good luck tomorrow

Can't wait to see how it goes Hockey I'm sure all is fine or they would call you

 

[crystal443]

Sarah- I can't believe a vet would charge $4000 and have no follow up included that's just wrong!! Glad everything is settling a bit and wow hard to believe its almost time for your 12 week scan

 

[LLbean]

Sarah I am sure your Bean is fine in there and growing nicely!

 

[LLbean]

Hockey very excited for your transfer tomorrow!!!! YEY!

Wishing you the best!

You know they say you should do distracting things early in your pregnancy to help pass the time but this might be a bit much! Ugh! Just sounds so unbearable!! But you and your bub are super strong!! You will both get through this and have a story to tell later!!

Definitely looking forward to hearing how the midwife visit goes. And the next 3 weeks will go fast!

 

[GreenFingers]

Hockey - good luck today, can't wait to find out how it goes.

Sarah - nice to hear from you, hope you are getting on the mend really quickly. Good lick at the midwife appointment. x x

 

[crystal443]

Good luck hockey!!!!!

 

[hockey24]

Big day today! I'm so nervous since we have no idea what's been going on the last 5 days! I would hope someone would call if it didn't look good at Day 3 but who knows! At least the wait it almost over!!

Please please please let there be something good to transfer!

 

[LLbean]

Hockey thinking of you!!! SO EXCITING!!!!
