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

[LLbean]

I just got our confirmation for IVF for this cycle coming So should be starting the last week of August

LL- Do you know what kind of cycle you'll be on yet?

not yet, did blood work today so they should have results next week, Dye test on Tuesday so the week after we will have a better picture

Right on We'll be on a Flare Cycle so pretty simple and quick..I just have to call on CD 1 and go pick up the meds.

DMom- I got to try out the Maxalt..stupid migraine started yesterday after I thought I'd gotten away from it this cycle It worked like a charm though..within an hour it was gone the only wierd thing was that I got really groggy feeling from it but hey better then migraine pain. Are you getting any closer to a deciding on IVF or IUI?

Girls, another BFN for me this morning, so I am going to call this cycle done, lol. I refilled my Clomid, Tamoxifen, and bought soy...so I just need to see which one to do. Picking up the orders for DH's new SA tomorrow, so we will see if we are better candidates for IUI or IVF.

Just saw this.. Sorry Hope your wrong about your cycle being done but I know when it feels done it feels done.

I want IVF if we go for anything, but I am just having a hard time figuring out how much it should really cost, lol. My quotes a very high compared to some I have seen on the boards. We might need to look out of state.

So glad the Maxalt worked for you!

 

[dachsundmom]

My damn cycle won't end, lol!

 

[LLbean]

Yes Dmom getting excited indeed!

 

[dachsundmom]

Are you trying for August?

 

[crystal443]

We were told by the FS being unexplained that IUI would give us a 5% chance of working and each IUI cycle would cost $1640 and the normal would be about 5 rounds. However IVF would give us somewhere in the 30-35% range for success because I have been pregnant and haven't had any other issues..don't smoke or drink etc. One cycle for that including the bed and meds will be just over $8000 but we get just over half back the day after egg transfer. If we have to go for another fresh cycle we will get $5433 back, so once we pay for one cycle up front we'll have money we can continually reuse for more cycles. The other thing is a lady was on the August Testing boards Jenn I think her name is and she was saying drugs would cost around $5000 for her which is shocking. The most I will pay for my drugs at the IVF clinic will be $300... its at least affordable for us ..the first cycle is rough because we need it all up front but we do get money back after that. Its crazy what is charged for IVF..my DH would pay $20000 and not blink, I have issues with being charged to have a baby but that's another story

I found it just now! Thanks! Lets see what she says!

 

[LLbean]

Are we trying for August? only naturally LOL...can't start IVF until after all results are back and she can determine what she wants to put me on SO...if it happens naturally this month then we save some $$$ if not September it is (And if my cycles stay how they have been my EDD, if it happens in the first IVF cycle, could be my birthday LOL)
