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

[drsquid]

hocky= never used them before so... im looking forward to a treat. im single so... the amount of time i spend feeling sexy is pretty limited at best (brain learns pretty quick it is more annoying than anything else). funny... walking into work today with a plastic supermarket bag with a box of pantyliners in it and one of the male xray techs said.. hey doc.. what do you have in that bag.. anything good? i just went with.. nothing you want =)

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks hockey! At this point I'm worrying that this second iui will be too late! Especially as it was supposed to happen two minutes ago, and my husband hasn't even emerged from the room yet!! What is taking so long.... Usually he is done in two minutes and he's been gone 30 minutes at least. I'm starting to worry he fell asleep after...

 

[DaisyQ]

Omg. He just emerged, bleeding!!! He hit his head on a shelf as he was leaving the room. ??!!

 

[drsquid]

daisy= always an adventure =)

 

[DaisyQ]

Seriously!

 

[drsquid]

is it too much to say... at least now he has some blood in the game =)

 

[DaisyQ]

Right??!!

 

[sarahincanada]

oh no! hope he is ok, usually the mens part is pain free!!
GREAT count on first IUI!

rona & manuiti hope you get good news today

 

[DaisyQ]

He's ok, just a klutz post-O.

Second iui at 38.5 hours after trigger with 81 million.

WOW!
those are amazing counts!
pat your hubby on the back and say some lady in canada is impressed
hope the timing is perfect this cycle, are you going to be testing?

 

[DaisyQ]

Haha! Will do. I have to test because I'm on progesterone. I am not sure when my test date is - I forgot to ask, but I assume its 2 weeks from today.

 

[manuiti]

Thank you all so much for all the positive thoughts and well wishes. It's really keeping my spirits up. The clinic haven't called today to cancel tomorrow's appointment so I'm assuming everything is going ok so far. FXd!

manuiti omg so hope your 3 embies stay strong
have you thought about how many you will transfer? as often people dont bother to freeze just one. so exciting, keeping everything crossed for you.

My clinic will only put back a maximum of 2. I'm happy with that. And if all 3 actually make it to tomorrow and the option is there to freeze just one, then we will... just in case.

I will not testing until the 13th....hmmmm. May be I lie...haha.

Fingers crossed for you hun!

then we're off on our IVF journey! At first I thought all the pre tests seemed like a lot but realizing I'll have them all done by May is cool!

How exciting hun! Not long to go now.

super excited to start the progesterone suppositories tomorrw... not!!! now to remember to buy pads on the way home

I'm not finding them too bad. I started with Crinone gel the evening of ER and have to do it every 12 hours. But I'm staying laid down for 30mins afterwards and I'm not having much at all come back out. No idea if that's different from the suppositories though. Hope it goes ok!

Omg. He just emerged, bleeding!!! He hit his head on a shelf as he was leaving the room. ??!!

I'm so sorry - that made me laugh! Glad he's ok.

He's ok, just a klutz post-O.

Second iui at 38.5 hours after trigger with 81 million.

Fx!

And yeah, grrrrrreat counts! FXd indeed!

Hi ladies,

Daisy that's a great counts! Manuiti hope everything go well.

Just an update. I did HPT to see if my HCG trigger out, and I think still have very little yesterday, today it seems all gone because it looks negative to me. I am 4dp5dt today.

Sarah, on what day you start POAS?

Regarding the other 2 embryos, they didn't make it ...makes me wonder if what they transferred also not as good. I honestly don't have any positive feeling right now. It feel just like another fail cycle ....so hard to be positive.

 

[manuiti]

Rona! Keep trying to be positive unless you actually know otherwise. Easier said than done I know.

Well I've got another hour of sitting here in my bed at the clinic & then I can go. Just has my 3 day transfer. According to the Dr he's put back 2 perfect embryos into my perfect uterus. The 3rd one's still going but has one cell with 3 nuclei. They're going to wait until Wednesday to see if it fragments & heals itself in which case they'll freeze it, if not then not because it would never be viable anyway.

My Dr was so so happy that we've completed the IVF cycle & been able to put two good embryos back. He said to be honest he wasn't actually holding out much hope for a result like this with FSH as high as mine and an AFC as low as mine. So he was chuffed to bits, and even rubbed my tummy!

But oh my goodness that was hard work having a full bladder! lol

Fingers crossed now, and roll on the 23rd when I go for my blood test.

 

[drsquid]

manu and rona- fingers crossed.

hi rona, I started getting a squinter bfp afternoon on 4dp5dt (morning was a bfn), but I didnt have a trigger for FET so was more sure of it. I had to adjust to see them on a photo but the next day they came in. I only like the frer though, I had some IC's and it took ages for a line on them when I randomly peed on them!

I know what you mean regarding the others not making it, Ive always thought well then the ones transferred are probably not going to survive either. But Ive been following a lot of people on here and there are definitely people who dont get any frosties but get a bfp from what was transfered (frosties are actually pretty rare compared to the rate of successful IVFs). So in those BFP cases the ones transfered were good ones, or okish ones that did better in the body like some doctors talk about. my fresh cycle failed with 2 good looking blasts, but my FET worked, so it is all a bit random and who knows which are going to be good....theres every chance you have 1 or 2 good ones snuggling in right now

yay great news! make sure you rest loads

It was hard to have a full bladder and I overdid it and had to pee right before the FET. they would only allow me one cupful of pee to escape and I was dying to keep going!!!

Thanks Sarah. You're right, probably I just have to wait and see. I will have my Beta on 13 April.

I use IC, yesterday have very faint line, but I kind of knowing it might be my left over Novarel shot. For now I just keep myself busy, cooking Thai soup and cannot stop eating..haha.

Well, I don't know if you allow me to post picture, just to light up our conversation, I wall up this lobster while in Rhode Island! Super yummy.

Drsquid...opsss..hehe, it was yummy! Best seafood ever for a long time. I think because Rhode Island so close to the sea, so they gets fresh ones.
