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

[DaisyQ]

I didn't have a scan yesterday. I had a scan on Wednesday, where he saw my follies the first time, then I triggered (this was CD 11). Yesterday, CD 12, was the IUI. He did not look at my follies, no ultrasound was done. Today, on CD 13, he did the ultrasound and bloodwork, and said the follies were gone. ???? But my bloodwork suggests I am Oing now, as progesterone is still really really low. I think that if I had O'ed yesterday, it would be at least a little higher. So the nurse says that I'm Oing today. I really am so, so annoyed. Going to talk to my husband about it. I don't think there is anything left to do this cycle, but next cycle I am going to INSIST on 2 back to back IUIs or the one at 36 hours... I'm really unhappy about this.

 

[DaisyQ]

The only thing I can think of is that I O'ed this morning, right before the scan basically, so a full 24 hours after the IUI.

I would be really upset as well. Very frustrating!! I think they should do back to back IUI's anyway - as a general practice because it is apparently difficult to pinpoint the exact point of ovulation. I think you have a great plan for next month - in the mean time, you need to get busy with your hubby asap!!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Haha - I know. Hubs won't know what hit him.

I actually have accupuncture now. Going to go to that, then home to hubs. Wish me luck ladies. Thank you for being here. Seriously. I appreciate it.

so its really their fault, as if this morning they knew the follies were there you could have done another (in theory, not sure if hubby was with you anyway) but they said the follies were not there. I still think you could have ovulated last night and caught it. weird about the progesterone but surely the dr would not get it wrong that you had ovulated already. I suppose its a good idea to try and have a BD session the night of the IUI as well. I hated the whole IUI timing thing, my clinic didnt do back to back as data says its no more effective and so I couldnt really argue.

 

[DaisyQ]

Same here - my doc doesn't do back to back, but I'm going to insist... We'll see what happens. I found some more literature saying 36 hour is the average time to O after the trigger and it can be as early as 24 hours and as late as 52 hours (24 hours more likely if you are already having LH surge).

I'm going to assume o was sometime yesterday. Maybe it was right before my scan. I did get my temp today. I also had EWCM last night and CP was high and soft (still is). Did the deed last night and again this morning. With all the bding, and iui ~ 24-48 hours before O, hoping there is still a good chance. Going to try to let it go now.

7DP5DT - still ! Was really hoping to see something faint by now. I know there's still time as the BETA is not until Thursday but Ugh!!

Come on 2nd line - you looked so pretty after the trigger - just want to see you again!!

did you get the FRER ones?

 

[hockey24]

I did use the FRER over the weekend but was discouraged so went back to the cheapies this morning. May go buy some more of the FRER to get me through the week. It just doesn't seem to sting as bad if I get the BFN on a $1 POAS.

 

[LLbean]

LOL I understand...well maybe you want to wait it out until the Beta? I myself could not though LOL...

 

[hockey24]

Either way - I drive myself crazy so not sure it really matters. Just lessens the blow a little if I have a heads up before the beta.

 

[GreenFingers]

Awhh Hockey, there is still time, don't give up hope! x x

 

[crystal443]

Hang in there Hockey There's still time

 

[Milty]

Try to keep busy...maybe start a new book

 

[sarahincanada]

oh hockey big
I know for myself I wanted to be let down gently before the beta if it wasnt my month. still keeping my fingers crossed that you are one of those late implanters

 

[hockey24]

Thanks ladies! I'm still holding out some hope though I had some nasty cramping this evening and then very light pink spotting. Hoping its just irritation or something from the progesterone.

 

[LLbean]

did you test again?

 

[crystal443]

Hockey I hope the spotting is a good sign

 

[DaisyQ]

Me too Hockey, hope that was implantation cramps and spotting.
