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

[canuckgirl]

Hi everyone! just thought i would join you guys in the over 35 ttc battle.

I am 37yrs old and my hubby and i are ttc #1. i am on clomid 100mg cd 5-9. this month i had a follie scan at cd 8 (a little early i thought) and it showed 1@15mm and 5 others under 9mm with a lining of 5mm. i did the hcg trigger on cd 10 and had my first iui on cd 12 (july 25). i sure hope those follie(s) grew over those 4 days, and my lining increased. my only other concern is that my hubby's post wash count was 6 mil with 92% motility. hopefully that will be good enough?!

I look forward to reading everyone's journey.

ok curious...to those of you who have already tried... who did Clomid and who did Lupron and what were the results as far as amount of eggs produced?

I have 2 friends that did IVF and both seem to have done way better on Lupron so I am curious

For those of you ladies on Clomid in the UK - how did you get it prescribed?

I went to my GP she she told me that there would be no help of any kind since we already have kids and we had only tried 4 months so we needed to try longer...
I was quite disappointed after that. I think she meant NHS will not pay for IVF, but sureley they could prescribe me some Clomid? Or do I need to see a specialist?

hi hun, im 44 my dh is 43, i have 2 children who i havent seen for 7yrs as the chose to live with their dad,(both young adults now), hubby has no children, we have been trying for 6yrs only to suffer 5 mcs in 22mths then nothing since last mc may2010, we live in the northwest so under the liverpool womens, due to start clomid next mth, we were told it's not available on the nhs,...sorry not better news love donna xx

Quick update...CD2 here. AF got me and this is really ok. I ended up with an 18LP from the Tamoxifen and I am not sure that I am going to take it this cycle.

hi everyone

Im back from vegas! got in last night, what a great time. I honestly didnt care one bit about TTCing the whole time! I wish I could go to vegas every 2WW!! got a bfn this morning, AF due on Thursday and I do expect her to come but we decided not to skip August and will do another round of IUI. We had originally decided to skip this month as my SIL is getting married in May so its not a good birth month, plus my family is here visiting. But we decided while away to just keep going and not skip any months. We will probably do IUIs right through to December if they allow us, then its IVF.

LL thank you for your message about AF, so what happened was it a chemical? Im sorry to hear that but I hope that means you will be very fertile for this coming month.

I have to read back through all the messages to catch up but I noticed a few posts on this last page:

Rona I honestly think I will be with you very soon on a new cycle. Ive noticed in the over 35 section folder than most people have success on the 2nd or 3rd try. Even my nurse said that sometimes it takes a few goes. Will you be doing the exact same thing this coming month?

dachsundmom sorry that your LP was so long, thats cruel. if you dont take it this coming month then will you do anything else?

how is everyone else? will post again when I get a chance to read through all the posts

well they don't know 100% but that is the thought...seeing a Fertility Specialist now and doing dye test on Tuesday and the week after we meet doc again to figure out a plan of action based on blood results etc

 

[dachsundmom]

I am taking a soy month and starting my monitor again; researching clinics for IVF...starting September.

 

[LLbean]

Dmom remember it takes a month because of tests and stuff before you can start IVF so start looking now!

 

[dachsundmom]

We are, lol. I am just really thrown by all of the price differences and the fact that Indigo's estimator said i should plane on $70k if I use my clinic; I can't spend that kind of money, lol.

I am looking at heading out of state at this point.

look directly at your places...some times those calculators are off

 

[dachsundmom]

Thanks. The $13k you were quoted was that implanting at fertilized or blastocyst stage?

 

[LLbean]

I believe it is an Embryo Transfer (3 day after retrieval)

Thanks Sarah and welcome back! I feel sad but I expect that will happen, but will be nice if it BFP. Anyway, I will do another round this month. Good luck to you Sarah

I will gladly send you a picture of the whole paper... it can be overwhelming to look at because they break down a bunch of the costs so you think it is all on top of the 13K

 

[dachsundmom]

I would love to see that too!

 

[LLbean]

ok will send you a message

How come I can not attach an image in a private message??? hmmmm.
