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

[dachsundmom]

Got it! I didn't see it on the list; is your doc going to put you on BCP and lupron?

 

[LLbean]

We don't know yet what the course of action will be... I will only know that after we meet with her next week. She has to see all the blood work...see how many eggs I have left etc.

I emailed it to you as well just in case it is easier to see...and forgive my spelling LOL...just noticed it... and I just copied from here to paste there so twice the errors HAHAHA

 

[dachsundmom]

Thanks! The email was much easier to read. Is your DH prepared to go above the $13k if you need to?

 

[LLbean]

well they told me would be no more than $2k for meds so... He said ONE cycle... he does not want to drain our bank account for this LOL...Hope it works!

 

[dachsundmom]

It has to, so it will!

 

[crystal443]

Are you still looking at September for IVF?

 

[dachsundmom]

If I can decide where to go without going bankrupt, yes...lol

 

[crystal443]

That would be great!! I got a call from the Clinic on Friday about payment etc...its getting a bit scary now..once we make the payment that's it.

 

[crystal443]

Do you have to buy your meds from the clinic or can you look at other pharmacies?

 

[dachsundmom]

I think it will depend where we decide to go; frankly, I would rather buy my meds all in one place so the clinic is sure of what I am using.

The only way I would do differently is if they write the script and I can fill them in a pharmacy; I am not comfortable buying them over the net.

If that's what you meant, lol

 

[crystal443]

Well I wasn't sure really, I know some ladies got their meds over the net...I'm a bit to much of a chicken to go down that path.

 

[dachsundmom]

I'm scared of all of it, TBH. I can handle my body failing me, not sure if I have it in me to deal with a failed IVF...I know, chicken sh*t on my part, lol.

 

[crystal443]

No its not chicken..I've had a few sleepless nights over the past week thinking about if it doesn't work, IVF in some ways seemed like the last resort so its scary for sure

DH & I talked about this subject. If we can't get preggers naturally, then the most we'd do is take meds. No IVF or IUI. Mostly because of the cost of it all.
I definitely am worried that what we're doing now won't work. At what point do we "give up" & just get on with our lives? I don't know how to move on

 

[dachsundmom]

Eva, you ask the question I consider everyday. My DH will go as far as I want, so I cannot depend on him to tell me if we've gone over the edge, lol.

Here is my struggle: I'm adopted and I cannot believe that I am seriously considering spending this kind of money on IVF without first having really gone into the adoption process. My old Catholic guilt is rearing it's ugly head, lol.

I know that this is not going to happen naturally for myself, but I haven't been able to resign myself to it....hence, why I am still TTC.

I wish I knew how to move on.. its so frustrating to try everything and nothing work isn't it? Its heartbreaking month after month..year after year Makes me want to pull my hair out somedays

I don't understand why our bodies do this to us. We are built to have babies!

If you adopt, can I still be Aunt Eva?

My DH is the same..there is no limit for him, and I can't get myself out of denial that it will happen naturally if we just try for another year.

 

[dachsundmom]

Eva, you can be Auntie to whatever shows up on my doorstep!

 

[dachsundmom]

But Crystal, you have made the move forward, which is more than I can say, lol.
