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

[GreenFingers]

Hockey that's fantastic, i have everything crossed for you. Interestingly my nurse told me no wine at all and i did push her on the subject! Its all so confusing isn't it!

Hi Sarah, looks like your ttc journey is moving forward, are you considering Ivf this year?

Trolley- how very disappointing for you, i thought you just had to have started the process, hope you fight for your go.

To everyone else fx'd x x

I think once the injections start, I'll cut it off but I'm glad to know I can have a glass here and there in the meantime with out feeling guilty!!

LLBean, I told my nurse about your success and she said - to keep reading posts like yours as success stories definitely help the psyche!!

 

[LLbean]

well I hope you are one of them too!!!

Sarah! can you tell me at what time you inject yourself with the ovidrel and where do you do the injection? My IUI is scheduled for Thursday, 8:30am....

I have to go pick it up after work.

Thanks!

Im hoping the spermies are meeting your egg!!! FX!!

Thanks!

I was told to inject at 10pm on the Thursday, and IUI was 11am on the Saturday (they usually try for 36 hours after trigger). I did the injection in my stomach. They might tell you to do it earlier if your IUI is Thursday at 8:30....mine is later as hubby had to go in at 8am for the sperm sample then they take a few hours to process it.
good luck for thursday

Hi Sarah, looks like your ttc journey is moving forward, are you considering Ivf this year?

Im really hoping to do IVF in november, not sure if I can find $12,000 by then though. Im self employed and have a business that if its slow I have to move my $$ over to make sure we can pay people, so thats why Im not sure. Im meeting with my FS next week and I want to ask if its easy to switch over on CD1 in november or will I need to skip next cycle. Some of me wants to do another injectable/IUI cycle next month to see how I respond on higher meds (and may save myself $12,000) and another part of me wants to skip and put the $1500 towards IVF.

Im so happy that so many of you are doing IVF, its going to be an exciting fall full of BFPs!!!

Sarah - information is key! No matter what you decide to do with your next cycle - its best to know the timing constraints you may be under as every clinic is different.

Wishing you luck on your appointment next week and hoping this cycle works for you so it won't even matter!

Sarah- good luck with whichever route you decide, i will be stalking you and all the others on here starting their Ivf journeys x

LL- I've got a question Did you take you stim injection in the morning or at night? The nurse said I could do either but was just wondering if you had any SE and taking it in the evening might be better?Thanks LL

well I had to do it twice a day so ...kind of answers that question LOL

I was on Gonal-F and was told between 6 and 9 am and same for pm

So, I'm thinking about my next cycle, due to start in about 2 days.

I'm thinking I'll take my femara in the evening. It gave me horrible headaches, for 10 days straight, but I'm hoping taking it at night will help me get through the brunt of it. Unless, of course, it disturbs my sleep.

Then, I'm wondering how far out from the trigger I should do IUI. They suggest 36 hours post trigger. This cycle I did 24 hours, but I know I didn't ovulate until at least 48 hours, and even possibly 72! If you look at my chart, it looks like ov was cd14, but even temps can be subjective, kwim?

Hmmmm.......

 

[Indigo77]

36 hours seems about right to me...

I think you O on CD14, so you want to get the jizz in there before you ovulate...

 

[googly]

Why do you think it was later ready?

 

[crystal443]

ready, I hope your cycle has gone better then you think. Looks like you O'd on CD 14

 

[readyformore]

I'm not sure.
CD 15 was my weird temping, remember?

At first, I was shocked at the borderline reading I had gotten. I expected a much higher number. I took my temp about 5 consecutive times, and I choose the highest one, lol. It had a range of 97.28-97.40. If I change it to the lowest temp, ff puts my ov date to cd15.
Plus, I had major ov pain on cd15. Not sure if it was the egg releasing, or if it was post ov.

I sooooo wish I hadn't thrown out my bbt charting from my first son that I did IUI with. I know that I was ovulating late, but I don't remember how long post trigger. I know that they were doing IUI 3 days straight. I finally told them to skip the first 2 days and only do the third. I think that trigger was the evening before IUI #1. So. . . . quick math. . . . that would be 60 hours post trigger was my successful IUI cycle.

Maybe I'll try 48 hours this cycle and try to get better temps at ov time. The only problem is, I don't sleep well, b/c I'm excited and anxious to see what my temp is doing

jizz

ready I really hope the witch gets lost and doesnt visit you. if she does then perhaps try the 36 hour thing next month. I find the timing thing very stressful. Im sticking with my BDing 2 days before thing, so theres some up there plus a fair amount for IUI. what was your pw sperm count I forget?

janetplanet how much long till the end of your cycle? with your many follicles hoping for good news!

sadie good luck with your IUI tomorrow

who else is in the 2ww? I think most of you are waiting on the start of IVF.

prewash was 33 million with 44% motility
postwash was 32 million with 94% motility!!
We had been arguing so these are results from no bd for 6 days. That is unlikely to happen again, but I'm hoping to go 3-4 days without bd prior to IUI next time.

I'm 13dpiui and 11 or 12 dpo. Lp has been about 12 days lately. So, I'm waiting. . . . . .
And thanks, I hope that b!tch gets lost too!! She's been pissing me off.

I'm excited to hear about eveyone's IVF cycles they are starting!

 

[Indigo77]

Ooh....have you tested?

 

[readyformore]

Ooh....have you tested?

No.

I'm one of those rare breeds that hates hpts.
I very rarely get the results I want.
I prefer to at least be a touch hopeful while in the 2ww. Those bfns hurt too much. Plus, I don't really believe them anyway, lol. I always think "maybe it's too early, lol."

I watch my temp and wait. . . .

 

[Indigo77]

So if your temp stays up tomorrow, and no AF...You still won't test?
