another example of how fertility works in weird ways

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/...-son--fall-pregnant-naturally-year-later.html

I wonder if getting pregnant with fertility and having a child can 'reset' the system somehow as Ive heard of this a lot. I probably wont be trying naturally after as will use my frosties but it would be interesting to know. How many of you are planning another after?
 
The only think I hate about this article is the whole - "relax and you'll get pregnant" thing. So annoying.

I would like to have two children, but I don't know if I'd go through IVF again to make it happen... if we end up with only child after IVF, I think we'll probably just NTNP and see what happens.

yes I agree, it is annoying, however I do think the stress of TTCing and treatments does work against many people. I am just interested to know if infertility can be reversed when you get pregnant and have a baby.

I think I will generally be on the same protocol as my doctor feels it was pretty aggressive already. I do have a diminished reserve so getting a huge number of eggs is very unlikely for me.

I am getting a second opinion from another clinic to see if they would do anything differently. If not, I'll stick to my current doc as he's local.

I have heard a number of times of people who are unexplained getting pregnant much easier naturally after having a successful pregnancy. I personally wouldn't hold out for it but if it happened, I would be estatic! :happydance:
 
got my "plan" from the doc today. go for progesterone level on the 11th then start lupron that day. hopefully get my period on the 21st and get a baseline us on the 22nd (this could be dicey cause i leave for philly on the 22nd at midnight, but i guess i can get us in philly too). then around june 1 i start gonal f. of course i dont end up using my cetrotide... sigh. 6 boxes of that go to waste. noticed they didnt say anything about bcp to get from may 22nd to june 1.. but emailed the doc and he wrote back in minutes saying people dont usually ovulate on lupron so i guess that is what is going to shift my cycle.
 
Sarah- We're not sure what we'll do yet :shrug: there's such an age difference between this one and my other two that I feel a bit bad so we'll probably do what we did after JD which was not take BC and this time if I get pregnant I do if not I'm ok with that :thumbup: DH would like one more but I'm on the fence about it :shrug:

Hockey- I cannot wait for you to get started!!!

Daisy- I really think IVF is going to be the trick for you :thumbup:

Dr.Squid- Can't wait for you to get started either, wow a lot of ladies coming up quick :)
 
daisy q I didnt read your signature before, how exciting your IVF is not far away. please make sure you keep us updated with your progress on this thread. FXd for you.
 
Thanks Sara. :flower: Will do.

Going to another clinic tomorrow for a second opinion - if we have to do it again, I want to go to a clinic with a higher success rate. At my current place the success rate is 49% for a fresh cycle and only 22% for frozen. At the place I'm going tomorrow, their fresh and frozen success rate is like 62% (live birth).
 
im hoping for frosties so that if i decide i want a sibling then im already set.. heh way to put the cart before the horse.. now i gotta also figure out which clinic i want to do my egg retrieval at (i think i can make the choice myself). the embryologist has apparently left the clinic i go to so they need to use a different lab for transfers. so now i gotta figure out which has better stats etc.

Ive seen some stats like that, I suppose they use older techniques for freeze and dethaw? hopefully you will have success on your frozen but its always nice to have some back ups. and hopefully you will like the clinic tomorrow as thats a good success rate :thumbup:
 
Yeah, I'm really turned off by their frozen rates. But I think it's too late to switch clinics for this cycle. You can bet I'm going to ask though!!
 
DaisyQ - what clinic has the 62% success rate? That's a fantastic number!
 
RMA NJ - they are one of the top ten clinics in the country. That stat is for the under 35 bracket though. It's more like 50% in the 35-37 bracket.

Those are great numbers for all ages!

I'll look forward to your posts as you go through the process!!

Good luck!!
 
Name:Goldy
Age:39
How many children: none as yet
How long TTC current bean: over 8 years, 1 year on clomid
Any problems diagnosed: initially had one tube working. After i had a surprise twin pregnancy on a break & then lost them at 17weeks. My functioning tube now had hydrosalpinx*
Previous/Current treatments: after the hydrosalpinx had to have that tube blocked to better my chances at ivf as fluid from the tubes are known to flush into the uterus to prevent implantation! Had my fresh fresh cycle in February which failed so currently PUPO at 5dp5dt
Future Plan: will keep going for my FET until I get my BFP if not then will go for another fresh cycle before end of year!

Hey Sarah, glad to see you here. I had to go through all the postings and I did enjoy reading. My only wish was I had seen this way before. Such an amazing support system.

So as you all know from the above, I am 5dp5dt with a FET and no symptoms to write about except just woke up to massive headache blisters all over my lips.. I really do not remember having a headache at all! So anxiously waiting to test on Sat or Sun. God give me the strength!
 
yay goldy glad to see you here! Im sure you will get pregnant with your frosties, I hope the first time works :hugs::hugs::kiss:
