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

[LLbean]

Doesn't have to be twins, but I so want a girl lol

 

[sarahincanada]

BRING ON THE TWINS! hahaha

BRING IT!!!! if I had twins Id like a girl or boy, we have male twins in our family and my mum has always said that one twin ends up feeling left out and less pretty/handsome or smart as the other. so boy and girl would be much better I feel! slighly less comparison to eachother

I just called in my CD1 today, my flow is light but there. I cant believe how light my periods are on clomid, but they say the lining is good so I will probably be going in on friday for my CD3 and then a week monday for my follicle scan.

come on girls, I want to see some bfps on this thread in the next few months

 

[LLbean]

Yes Sarah, the pair in one shot would be sweet...I like 2 girls too hehehe

Hope I am one of the BFPs on here SOON!

Good morning ladies! I have a question and hope someone can help me out. I am having discomfort in my ovaries. In particular my right one. When I cough or sneeze, I can actually feel it. I am even a little uncomfortable just sitting. I am 9dpiui so definitely not an ovulation pain. Anyone have ideas? This is only my second month on clomid, could it be a cyst issue already?

 

[LLbean]

Canuckgirl...I have had that some times and it has gone away...and not even on Clomid! If you are on Clomid you produce more than one mature egg I believe... I can see why that would make your ovaries sore

 

[dachsundmom]

How many mature follies did you have and what were they when you triggered?

ive noticed some more soreness/twinges in the ovary area since being on clomid. if it gets painful might be worth asking about.

 

[sarahincanada]

I can't decide what to do, lol. I go back and forth everyday.

you know if you and LL go the IVF route Im going to be so tempted and will end up bringing my January IVF plan forward! its just the $$$, but Im sure I could find a credit card to put it on!!. I also keep thinking about the possibility of having frozen embryos to use at a later stage....I know not everyone gets extras but its possible. oooh its so exciting, dachsund are you seeing someone this month to ask about it?

 

[LLbean]

that is why I am not waiting any more...after 42 they won't even want to use my own eggs...so I need to get some out NOW and keep for later if needed ;-)

Ok so the AMH is at 1.09...if that means anything to anyone LOL

 

[Indigo77]

LL....you're in the normal range...


Interpretation of AMH Blood Level

High (often PCOS).......Over 3.0 ng/ml
Normal.......................Over 1.0 ng/ml
Low Normal ?..............0.7 - 0.9 ng/ml
Low.............................0.3 - 0.6 ng/ml
Very Low......................Less than 0.3 ng/ml

 

[LLbean]

yup I am...kind of wish it was a tad bit higher than that but...lets see what happens ;-)

 

[canuckgirl]

How many mature follies did you have and what were they when you triggered?

They did the scan on cd8 which was early, but there was only one dominant follicle at 15mm. a few others were 9mm and under. i triggered 2 days later, with iui 36hrs after that. i asked if they would do another scan on the day of the iui to give me a better idea of how big it/they got, but they said they don't do an u/s the day of the iui.

Thanks LLbean and sarah, hopefully it gets better soon.

Hey Ladies We're in a bit of a small argument with our IVF Clinic at the moment...I just wanted to run by all of you lovely ladies because I think I'm right but maybe not. I had a kidney issue when I was teen glomerulonephritis which has died down and I haven't had issues for years, I also have chronic kidney stones and have had them blasted quite a few times. The thought form my kidney doctor is I have a higher risk of stones because of the the earlier kidney condition. So my kidney doctor says we're fine to have two embryos put back meaning if it is twins I can be managed fine and he wouldn't expect anything to go wrong...my FS at the IVF Clinic is sayinf she only wants to put 1 back at a time because I have had kidney issues, but I go to a specialist every 6 months and he's saying I'm fine and if we're spending all that money out if my a specialist in the kidney field says its ok then is he not right? I'm more then a bit p*ssed off and annoyed because I feel like I'm being ripped because she knows our chances will go down and we'll have to go back...please be honest what is your honest opinion because I can't see past me being right at the moment...DH thinks if we're paying and want 2 put back then that's what will be put back end of story. Thanks in advance!!!

 

[dachsundmom]

Crystal, will your FS talk to your kidney specialist? I can only give you the advice my doc gave me when I was pushing him to do a treatment that should be done by the FS...the sign of a good doc is that he/she will not do anything outside of his/her comfort level bc no one wants to get backed into a corner he/she cannot get themselves out of...

I know it is frustrating, trust me on this one, lol, but your doc wants you to get pregnant and stay pregnant. But, the FS is not a kidney specialist, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he/she has not worked with kidney issues too often. Docs don't know everything, that's why some specialize. It's like asking your dentist questions about your heart condition, he/she will only know how it pertains to them, not all of the ins and outs.

if your kidney doctor is saying its fine then your FS should listen, perhaps you could sign something to say you are aware of risks etc if they are worried about liabilty. And if you are paying privately I do believe they should listen to you...its not like you are asking them to put 5 in and you are over 35 too! but I know a lot of clinics are really careful now and twins is not recommended even for people with good health. They should give you some kind of deal that if they insist to only put in 1 and it doesnt take that you get a discount on the 2nd cycle....but Im sure they wont do that. I wonder if the clinic is generally conservative even without the kidney issue.

 

[crystal443]

I'm going to get a letter from my kidney specialist..I think what's making me so angry is that the FS we were going to (same clinic) was going to put 2 back, we stopped seeing him because appointments got cancelled and he's just very busy..he splits his time between clinics. I agree Dmom I normally wouldn't argue with any doctor because they are the experts, I called the kidney doctors office and there's no issue with getting a letter and at the end of the day its our choice so I guess we need to look at pros and cons..thanks ladies this IVF stuff will have me crazy but I want to get it straight before I have hormones running through my system and I blow it out of porportion, lol

 

[dachsundmom]

Oh now, hold on...I'll argue with any of them, lol.

But I think if your FS sees it in writing, he/she will feel much better.

 

[crystal443]

I won't argue unless I'm pushed too,lol..I probably need to grow a set.

 

[dachsundmom]

I think you need to write down all of your questions and concerns; just mark them off as you go and write down any new ones you find.

 

[crystal443]

Yep, I was thinking the same thing if I keep on complaining you'll never want to go for IVF
