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

[readyformore]

Having two or more children aged 12 or younger living at home

Assholes.

That makes me mad on so many different levels!!

By the time my kids are actually over 12, I'll be in my mid 40s and have zero chance (because I will be menopausal).


No thank you, I'll stick to the US healthcare system. I have $15,000 of coverage and noone cares how many kids I have, if I'm a lesbian, or if it's the same partner.

Talk about discrimination!!!

Hi all, it breaks my heart that fertility treatment is so expensive in different parts of the world, you can all come and live with me! It is true i had no waiting list at all for Ivf, a number of tests take a while to come back but the service has overall been excellent!

So today i had my scan and its all clear to start tomorrow, Im taking 375 iu of menopur using a pen injection, i will let you know how it goes, next scan is Tuesday!

Sarah- for what its worth i think you should save your pennies for Ivf and have a month off x

Fx'd Greenfingers!

Ready, i agree! I will have 3 IVFs come January 1. Dont we have a new law that insurance must include fertility or am I makng that up? Maybe its just in NY? Dont know.

for sarah and all the rest of ys!

is this the 'to ivf, or not to ivf' question because of the 'what to do with embryo' thing?. or have you decided just not sure which month?

[Cypress]

Great idea Sarah!

Name: Cypress
Age: 39 (40 next Apr)
How many children: 0
How long TTC current bean: 1 yr (but part of that was recovering from birth control; and a few months preg before mc)
Any problems diagnosed: High fsh
Previous/Current treatments: 1 round of clomid, overresponded causing IUI to beabandoned, also it thinned my lining too much, so no more clomid for me
Future plan: IVF - fsh test next cycle will determine whether the NHS will treat me; otherwise we'll need to come up with the money for private

 

[sarahincanada]

nurse just called...I cant remember if I mentioned that I had my AMH bloods done yesterday and she added in a beta...its negative, but as I have been convinced of that Im ok with it and glad to know before my bday. I dont have to do another beta on the weekend, unless my period doesnt come by monday then I should do one.

oh and she told me what the FS wrote for my IVF cycle:

Gonal F - 300 per day
Repronex 75
Ganirelix from about CD7-8

 

[dachsundmom]

Sarah...no antibiotics or steroids?
