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

[drsquid]

so i had 4 grade 1, 2 grade 2 and 5 grade 3 blasts. had 2 transfered, 1 frozen today and they are checking again tomorrow to see if more make the freezing grade. the transfer went well today (other than lying down on the table which was excrutiating on my poor tushie). was only 30 min late to court and the lawyers and judge were actually on a sidebar anyway so no one even noticed. figure it isnt bed rest.. but i sat all day without doing much. tomorrow night my new meds come in but.. i dont have to do another shot (this am was the last one.. sucked to have to do it knowing how bad it would be)

btw named them inky and squirt

Ok ladies - for those of you who take or took CoQ10 while TTC, what dosage did you take? My new clinic has recommended it but didn't tell me how much to take.

Hope everyone is doing well!!

I think I took 600, I took the high absorbtion one as I wanted it to work fast lol

good luck dr squid!

DaisyQ - is your transfer today?

 

[sarahincanada]

hockey she has updated in her journal, she has 5 left not at blast yet so they are waiting till tomorrow. she wont be having a fresh transfer though, they had to be at blast today to do that, so they will be tested and frozen. praying her 5 go to blast tomorrow and pass the testing

 

[hockey24]

Hi everyone. How you ladies doing . DrSquid, how are you doing? Any news? Anyway, I am still here, cannot proceed to next IVF yet. Believe it or not, after my polyp surgery, which was 27 April 2012, I do not have my period! It has been over 70 days ....I don't know what to do. Never ever late in my life. For now the Dr. just keep checking my progesterone level every week to see if I ovulate. I know it's not, I am doing OPK also, and it very light line which showing how low my LH.

Sorry I don't come here often. But I hope you guys doing okay.

dr squid has been posting on other threads, looks like she got her bfp so congrats!

rona thats so annoying, why does it have to be difficult when you just want to get going

 

[Rona]

Oh really? Congrats to DrSquid. Don't see her update in here.

Anyway, thanks Sarah...yes it is really annoying. My youngest sister told me two weeks ago that she pregnant for her second one. She have a 2 years old son, and 4 months ago she said she want to try again for the 2nd one....and it only took her 4 months to try. I am happy for her but just cannot understand why it so hard for me.

For now I stopped taking all meds just to make sure my body back to normal. I think my body in shock with all the intervention of the meds and surgery.

 

[hockey24]

Rona - that sounds sooo frustrating!! Sometimes it feels our bodies just betray us. I don't blame you for cleansing of all the meds. Your body probably appreciates it. Have you tried acupuncture? Sometimes it helps people get back in balance.

AFM - I'm on Day 3 of stimming and I've got a pretty aggressive dosage. After a couple days of Lupron, added Gonal F and diluted HCG. First day of Gonal was 600 unites and now we're down to 450 units. Seems like alot! Going for my first scan tomorrow to see what's happening and adjust the dosage from there.

Hoping to follow Drsquid's lead and get that BFP this go round!!

Hi Hockey,

Good idea about acupuncture, I need to find a good place that I like. I tried twice last time and don't like the place at all. I will have massage also.

I wish you all the best Hockey. Sometimes when we heard others success, it gives us another hope...and wish it will be our turn ...when and how...we still don't know yet, but there is always hope

 

[drsquid]

rona-sorry for not updating. yeah i got a light bfp on 6dp5dt and a darker one on 8dp5dt. beta 1 was 148, beta 2 was 349 (13dpo and 15dpo) and today 19dpo it is umm well i started talking to someone right after and well.. it was either 1369 or 1389.. so still in the median range for twins.. eek. my progesterone is also crazy high (was 279 and today was diluted to get to >80) so apparently i dont have to supplement anymore but im getting retested thursday. sorry about your delayed af.. shows up when you dont want her doesnt she.

hockey - fingers crossed for you

 

[Rona]

Hi Drsquid! So excited and happy for you and thanks for updating. Twins will be awesome!

Hockey, hope your turn will be soon.

Sarah- I just saw your new avatar..LOVE IT!!!!! that is clear

Dr.Squid- Congrats to you!!! I'm sure you'll do fine

Hockey- I had the aggressive treatment with my last IVF well worth it if you can get more eggs though, its funny I always felt better when stimming I had no bad side effects and just felt generally good I know wacky but that's me

 

[drsquid]

i felt good while stimming too.. felt crap on just lupron

Yeah its strange isn't it? I heard so many ladies that felt horrible while stimming and I felt fantastic
