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

[DaisyQ]

Good luck Rona! Thanks for all the info about CNY as well. I am somewhat nearby, so if it comes to paying out of pocket for IVF, that sounds like a good deal.

Tons and tons of dust

OMG - RONA! Dr. Robert Greene (total RE guru) is at CNY - that's fabulous. I love his book, Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility. I am confident you are in good hands.

Congrats Crystal on your BFP!!! Have a healthy and happy 9 months.

Rona good luck I hope that everything goes well for you. And early Happy Anniversary!!!

Hockey good luck in your search for a new clinic. It's great that your insurance covers some of the costs.

Hope all the other lovely ladies on this thread are doing well and getting ready for the weekend.

CoQ10 question - do you take it every day throughout your cycle, or stop after ovulation?

Thanks in advance!

CoQ10 question - do you take it every day throughout your cycle, or stop after ovulation?

Thanks in advance!

I took it everyday the month before, right until they took my eggs. then there was no point. so if you are doing in prep for ivf keep taking it even after ovulation. it may help the ones that are brewing for next month. unless someone knows of a reason to stop??

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks Sarah.

Gearing up here for round two. I can feel both ovaries working hard. Only 2 more doses of Clomid.

I down to 2 pills a day for nausea. last week I ran out and thought Id see how I was without them, big mistake, it came on strong! so I will keep the 2 per day for a few weeks and try again. hope Im not one of those nauseous all the way through.

wow not long for you now!

 

[Rona]

Congrats Sarah!

Just an update, I am in Albany, NY for my first IVF. My ER was yesterday. They only got 5 eggs. This morning they called and told me that all 5 fertilized and I am scheduled to do ET on Wednesday, 04/04/2012. Guess what? It also our 9th years of wedding anniversary.

The clinic has their own acupuncture place in the same building, so I will do acupuncture right before and after the ET. I am praying this will be our time...please.

Baby dust to all.

oooh good luck for wednesday, and what a lovely date...hope that means something. my successful cycle started the day of my late dads bday and our anniversary! keeping my FXd for you and lots of babydust. will they give you a daily report on the embryos? how did you like the clinic?

 

[DaisyQ]

Yes, tell us how you like the clinic? Who is your doctor? I am so bookmarking that place in case I need more than one round of IVF.

 

[Rona]

Thanks ladies!

Sarah, they called me this morning, but don't give much details except set my appointment for Day 5 transfer and also the acupuncture. I asked about the grade, I believe the one who called me is as nurse, and she said, they will know on the day of transfer...hmmm. But they do scheduled to call me again on Monday. I can see all the scheduled in my online patient portal, which very helpful.

But from my previous reading with the CNY, mostly telling me that the RE here don't like to inform about the grade, because they said, sometimes good great not success and sometimes the not so good that make it, so they really don't want us to concentrate on those.

I love the facility, a little bit busy, but everyone extremely friendly and happy and willing to help. The office looks beautiful with their own spa and acupuncture center. My out of town nurse, Greta extremely helpful with my out of patient treatment. She on top of everything and answer my calls and emails efficiently. Certain things you have to check yourself and ask them, because there are so many of their patients, but once you in it, everything will go smoothly. I met her yesterday in person and she hugged me, bring tears to my eyes to see how care she is.

 

[DaisyQ]

Aww, that's so great Rona! Yay!

Daisy,

My Dr. is Dr. Grossman, funny guy ..very quick replying your email and open with any options that you suggest.

I just know that actually my package includes 3 cycles and with each cycles I can have free FET if there are extra embryos to freeze! That makes it 3 fresh and 3 FET. If you don't want to travel for FET, they can ship it to where you are, but I believe you have to pay separately to the facility you choose for that FET.
