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

Hi ladies, i am going to join you here, i am going next friday to talk to a new RE, and we will (fingers crossed) be doing an IVF. I figure she will want to do day 3 testing, and possibly a dye test, and hopefully if everything works out we will be able to do the IVF in november!!! I am so excited!!

that is sooo exciting indeed!!!!!! :happydance: good luck!!!!!!:thumbup:
 
Hello everyone!

Well, after a long year and a few months of TTC naturally we started doing tests. Hubby had his sperm analysis today, I got blood tests done and HSG (which showed nothing abnormal). I wonder what will be next!? I am excited and at the same time a bit nervous as I don't know what to expect.:shrug:

Hey Wana b a mom - make sure you get the full work up done on Day 3 of your cycle. That can tell you alot! Make sure they do the vag u/s so they can make sure your ovaries and uterus look good. Mine showed a cycst and a badly placed fibroid that I wish I would have known about months ago!

Good luck to you and I hope you are not in the testing phase for long because of a :bfp:!

:dust:

thanks so much for the support!! :hugs: I got my blood tests done on day 22 of my cycle and the HSG on day 9.:wacko:

what is "vag u/s"? :dohh:

Its a vaginal ultrasound lol, dont worry you will pick up on the lingo, it took me a while, but now i am a pro lol, took me the longest time to figure out what OH was, finally figured out it was Other Half lol.
 
Thanks ladies, i will keep you all updated if your interested. I just wish next friday would get here lol. My first hurdle will be day 3 bloods, and hopefully my FSH, AMH and follicle counts are all good and we can use my eggs. The last time i had anything done was nov 2010, at that time my FSH was 7.2 and my follicle count was 5 on the right side and 6 on the left. I have never had the AMH test run, so it will be interesting.

I get the trigger tonight and egg retrieval on Sunday morning...eeeekkkkkssss!
 
(sorry this is just copied from my group thread as couldnt be bothered to type it all again!!)

well Im just devastated :cry: sorry this is going to be long...

so today is CD15, and taking the scenerio that I ovulated the day of IUI (2 days after my first positive smiley) I am CD15 today. My LP's have been 13 days and 14 days (its probably actually the same each month but I dont know exactly when I ovulated) so technically today is the last day to get my period having a 14 day LP. I woke up and took my temp expecting it to have tanked, and it was still normal! I was like wow so took a IC test and a FRER and both stark white BFN :cry: so what the hell is happening, for the first time ever Im going to be late....is it the cyst or is clomid finally messing me up like it does for so many people?

its not fair, if she is coming she needs to come on time :growlmad: I did a blood test yesterday....I got a requisition from the FS in the mail for chicken pox asking me to do before next cycle and so I went yesterday and seeing as they were taking blood gave them the beta test too (they ask us to do every IUI cycle but usually I dont bother and ask them to add to my CD3 tests). But I wont know the results till tuesday now because of the long weekend. Im assuming my period will come by then though.

but whats crazy is that according to temps I usually ovulate the day of my smiley face as my temps go up the next day. So if that happened this month I am 16 or 17 dpo! and for sure a test should be positive. So I have to think that I did ovulate the day of my IUI and its coming today, but means my temps have not tanked for the first time ever.

Im hoping she just comes today and my temps are wrong. I even looked back on old charts (I used to print a calender and write down my period, ovulation etc) and if I say 1dpo is the day after smiley face Im usually a 14 day LP, but if its 2 days after then Im 13. But this month Im 2 days later and 14 day LP, so much longer.

of course theres that small thought in my head that what if Im one of those people who dont get a positive preg test till later, but really what are the chances of that. it could be the tests or my temps are wrong....these are both ttc aids we rely on so its BS!! :grr:

Ive been trying to keep a pma every month and this is the last straw, I think Im done. I said to my hubby forget this nonsense I just want to do ivf for a proper chance and if that doesnt work thats it. A life without children is even fine by me as I love travel etc, Im just the type of person who is used to getting results when I try for something, and dont like this unknown thing. Ive worked damn hard all my life, moved to a different country for a better life, things have worked out great and I have a great life. This TTC thing sucks as when you add 1 plus 1 it should equal 2, but its doesnt.

ok rant over, pma over :cry: Im upset at my husband as he just invited his parents over even though I told him I didnt feel like company. His mother does my head in as she talks non stop and I cant just go and do my own thing as she acts like oh sarah doesnt want us here. Im really not in the mood to be social and already tomorrow we have a family dinner with them all so I just wanted to relax today, but no hubby had to ask them over.

FYI heres my chart, I wasnt temping as my family was here and I wish I was to pinpoint my ovulation better. who knows perhaps I ovulated later, they do say sometimes it doesnt work and tries again later, and so my period will just be later.

Sarah, there really isn't enough on your chart for me to determine much from it and although I hate using CP and CM, do you know what yours are right now?

thank you for reading my long post! CP is high (although it was low for some of yesterday) and CM is creamy.

I wasnt temping earlier but the temp today is high for this stage in my cycle, you can see by previous charts how it usually tanks 14 or 15 dpo.

I just hate the unknown, if she is coming fine just come as this was my least favourite month to get preggers.
 
Like I said, I hate CP...but, the high position leads me to believe that AF is not going to show today and that your OV might have been later than you thought.

But, your previous charts always seem to indicate that OV is CD14-16ish.

Did your RE/FS confirm ovulation this cycle?
 
Sarah how do you feel? Is it possible you have a higher temp because you are fighting a bit of an infection? Well fingers crossed either she arrives today or tomorrow you get a bfp!! hugs

yeah I dont think she is coming today either because my temp didnt tank.

I have that small cyst so perhaps that is prolonging my cycle?? they didnt confirm ovulation no, I dont go back after the IUI. So all I can go on is my LH surge and the blood test the day before my IUI confirmed a surge. But a surge doesnt mean you ovulated so who knows :shrug:
 
Sarah....please hang in there...its not over yet

HUGS!

I feel fine, Im not sick or anything. Now im thinking another scenerio is I didnt ovulate and perhaps thats turned into a cyst like one did last month :growlmad: but would my temps have gone higher if I didnt ovulate, anyone know??

if that happened I would insist on the trigger every month as that guarantees ovulation.
 
I was a little surprised that you got to do another clomid cycle with a cyst, but I guess every doctor has a different protocol.

A cyst/residual follie is why I was pulled off of the meds.

she said it was small and she didnt think it would be a problem, and they tested my estrogen and it was low, so said it was ok to continue with another cycle. the cyst hadnt grown after the clomid so she said it was probably going to hang around and not do anything, and that often women have them and dont know.
 
Your FS seems to be very on top of things and I like her answer.

My doctor just said no for the next cycle.

I hate the wait and I hate TTC. I took my revenge out on my hair this morning and stupidly colored it myself. Now it's just scary, lol.

this was actually the nurse....Im in the care of her nursing team and only see my FS every 3 months. but they are very good and follow protocols for everything (which can be good and frustrating).

I went from blond to brown this week and its waaayyyy to dark for me....the colour just grabbed on. My hairdresser says to use a cheap shampoo everyday and it will fade. what colour are you??!!
 
Being Asian, my hair is naturally dark, but I do highlight it and take my base a medium brown.

I decided this morning I wanted to see my natural hair color and the dye grabbed on to my highlights and it's very, very dark.

I'll have to go and buy some Suave, lol
