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

[dachsundmom]

You could if you wanted IVF just brings up so many questions and what ifs...its not just a 1 cycle and that's it, if there's any left then its so many things to consider that being said you want some to freeze

I don't want to freeze any; this is it for me. One shot and I quit, lol.

I am tired and I am close to my end.

Can you opt to have them thrown into the sea?

Bon voyage!

I will tell my kids that they are swimming with their siblings when we go to the beach...

 

[dachsundmom]

If you tell your kids that, I will gladly offer to provide their much needed therapy at a cut-rate, lol.

LL that is too cute!!

Dmom- I'm at the end of my rope with it as well, DH could go on forever like this but I'm tired of it so we'll see how it goes this cycle coming and I won't agree to a number of cycles, I've agreed to see how it goes.

Indigo- the embies could live with spongebob..its a fantastic story for your kids

Porkchop was going to be a stick of butter for Halloween, but now he's getting a watermelon costume.

 

[Indigo77]

Did you buy one?

 

[dachsundmom]

Damn ladies, we just threadjacked again!

Seems to happen everywhere we go, lol.

 

[dachsundmom]

Did you buy one?

I'm having it made! Doxie costumes can be tough bc of their long bodies.

This is my life, I have a dressmaker designing me a watermelon and a vodka costume.

Barney will even have a slice of lime on his head!

 

[Indigo77]

I can't wait!

OMM...do you know if you are looking at a flare cycle or a down reg? Will birth control be involved?

Honestly i have no idea what kind of cycle they will do, we have not spoken to the doctor about it yet, they have wanted me to have all the tests done before we even talk to them about the IVF. We were so focused on donor that now i have to shift my focus on to me lol. Honestly i am hoping that birth control will not be involved, my cycles are very accurate, so i am hoping that she will go as natural as possible rather than forcing something to happen.

Well ladies, it looks like me doing a donor egg cycle is out, i would have to pay about 25K out of pocket for it. Soooooo i am thinking about doing the IVF with my own eggs, i got my results back from my cycle day 3 blood work, they are AMH 0.57, FSH 7.61, E2 or Estrogen 45, and LH 3.88. All my levels except for the AMH are normal, what do you ladies think, would it be worth it to try the IVF? I think those levels are not too bad considering my age lol.

Bummer OMM. My friend that did donor egg it cost $30K. She got the money as a gift from her parents, how sweet is that?

Have you considered embryo sharing? It's much more cost effective.

Yes we talked about embryo sharing, but DH will not go for that, because then the baby would not be either of us, at least if we did donor eggs, we would have him in the mix.

Since you are changing your focus to your own eggs, I would try and keep an open mind and use whichever protocol your doc thinks will give you the best odds.

This is so exciting! I have been stalking all of you on TTC #1 and I can't tell you how great I think all of this is...
