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

[readyformore]

Hmmmm actually from what i have heard the injectables can actually damage your eggs in high doses, now i believe you were on a low dose so no worries, but at one point they had me at 450ml of gonal f daily and i do believe it damages the eggs. I can totaly understand the January thing too, where do you live? I am in Chicago, but i am lucky my RE is close to home and work for me.

I live about an hour outside of toronto, but its 2 hours in traffic (apts are usually 8am) and in the winter forget it!! there are cprivate clinics nearer me but I wanted to go to one of the top hospitals.

wow 450 gonal f is crazy!!!

Ewwwwww your way up in snow country, ugh, nasty, i have a hard enough time down here in Chicago, if we could sell our house, my butt would be moving to Florida.

LOL, that's funny, I live in South Florida very close to the Florida Keys and I am sick and tired of the heat and humidity.

Yeah, I have NO desire to move to Florida. Visiting in the winter/spring is just fine. But, I can't imagine living there in August.

I think Kentucky/Tennessee would have the best climate for me.

I love the heat!!! I don't like humidity though and luckily it is a dry heat here

Summers here do suck, badly. One day I want to move to Seattle.

I've never understood that statement.

It doesn't matter if it's dry. If it's 110 outside, it's effing too hot!

Yeah, I don't like the dry heat either. I was in Southern California during the summer 4 years ago and it was hot and miserable because it was so dry. My skin felt parched! I do need humidity but also want cooler weather so I think Seattle is perfect, and beautiful!

Humid hot is a sweaty, sticky and yucky feeling, while a dry heat is just that dry, you might sweat but everything isn't damp. I've been in humid heat where everything is damp, bedding, floors everything..I can't stand that. With a dry heat its just hot, but nothing is damp if that makes sense.

Ewwwwww your way up in snow country, ugh, nasty, i have a hard enough time down here in Chicago, if we could sell our house, my butt would be moving to Florida, i have had enough of the snow and cold.

I grew up in England and came to Canada after University, LOVED it and the standard of living here is much higher. So I emigrated but man, I hate the winters!! hubby loves the snow, I do not. I have dreams of living in Florida or California for the winter and being self employed I can work from anywhere, but the problem is if we have kids they would have to go to school down there and spend summers here...so not sure how we could pull that off. anyway its a dream!!! if I dont end up getting pregnant I will definitely put it into action.

Oops, I didn't mean literally, lol.
I know the difference. I just mean that even if it's dry, it's still hot.

It's often humid here in the summer.

LOL, yea i could imagine being that far down, we are talking about Jacksonville, so not quite as hot as where your at, but i tell you i will take it, just to be able to have no snow, Chicago is the WORST for weather, we go from one extream to the other, from 100 degree days with 70% humidity to 25 below with a foot of snow, eeeeeeew. I have lived here all my life, and i would so love to be able to wash my car in feb and not have it freeze up like a popsicle, for us our cars look like giant salt blocks, and you cant wash them until march when it warms up, its gets to the point you dont even want to touch the doors to open them. Yeah i will take the heat any time over sub zero temps lol.

Ohhhhhhhh Tennessee, i looooooooooove Tennessee, thats also a possibility for us to move there too, the Smokey Mountains are soooooooo pretty!!!! Mountains, i love them, we have the flat lands here in IL, man this state sucks lol. Oh and we are gifted with the highest taxes of the nation too, whoo hoo lol

Yea that is one thing i have heard about Canada, the standard of living is great, but man your winters are brutal lol. I sure hope you can make your dream come true for being a snow bird, that would be perfect, me i just want to get the heck out of this state, they are taxing us to death here, its amazing to go to Georgia, and see how much cheaper everything is. And i think it could work, You would just have the kids in school, and when they get out you go back to Canada, i think that would be cool, almost like you live in FL or CA, and you summer vacation in Canada lol. Dont give up on your dream, i say go for it!!

LOL, yeah dry heat is hot, but humidity is worse, when you have dry heat, it feels like whatever the temp is outside, when you have humidity it can feel 20 degrees hotter than the temp is, this summer was like that for us, our temp would be at 95 and with the humidity it felt like it was 105, its kind of like walking outside and breathing water lol. I love it thought, i mean yeah its hot, but you know what it does not hurt, and if you get in AC your fine, when it gets to 25 below zero here in the winter, its brutal, you go outside to run to the car and your cheeks and hands hurt from the cold, so not fun. And last year we had a blizzard and ended up with 21 inches of snow in one night, dang that was a lot of snow to clear out, and nothing stops us here, we go no matter what, thank God i have my 4 X 4 lol.

Seattle is really pretty, but i dont think i could handle the clouds and rain, they have way too much rain for me, i need sunshine!!!

Id love to, but its not that easy to emigrate into the states. first I have to get my canadian passport (right now Im a resident and married to a canadian) which I think allows me to visit the states up to 6 months, which is ok until my future kids go to school. I know you can emigrate if you open a business which might be an option for us. hubby loves canada and so hasnt much interest, but I can dream!!

I've been to the Smokey Mountains once, when I was 18. I still remember seeing a bear and her cub walk across the road in front of us.

DH and I have been thinking of camping spots for next summer, and I want to go to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky and the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. I've never been to the cave, but I have a feeling my boys would LOVE to go there. We could get there in one LONG day of driving (I'm not sure, but maybe 12ish hours to Kentucky?), so I think it's worth a shot.

I love the Smokies. We've vacationed there many times. We once stayed in a cabin called the Lullaby Cabin right next to a stream that you could hear all the time. That was an AMAZING stay!

Hi.

Quick question. Is anyone on Estradiol (Estrace I think) during your TWW?

Sarah, it's awesome that you've found the money for November!

no but the nurse mentioned that for an ivf cycle....are you on it then?

I think Ive found the money, but Im self employed and we own a business that sometimes needs our money to cover payroll so its not definite. but I can hope!!

Canadian winters are soooo brutal, and I really do not miss them..which is why I love the heat so much I miss home but I don't miss the cold, DH is from Australia and he would rather have stayed in Canada
