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

[sarahincanada]

for those of you who have done the injectables for IVF: how many days did you inject for? Im going to be on 300 per day and budgeting for 10 days, but just interested how many days you guys did, thank you in advance

Well I did Gonal-f for about 12 days I believe. Basically until trigger shot

Thanks everyone for all your good wishes, it really has made a huge difference to have you all cheering me on.

My clinic has not given me any advise at all about how long to rest or actually what to do or not do. Not very good is it, I have read in a few books to take it easy the first 3 to 4 days which is what i plan to do!

Sarah - I injected for only 8 days but i was on the short protocol, hope you get the funds together soon

They told me to take it easy day of transfer and noting vaginally till pregnancy test. Also not bathtubs or anything like that

Greenfingers,so happy for you and you could be up the duff with twins hehe.I have a great feeling you'll get your BFPCan't wait to find out!!

Sarah- Scarily I only had the one scan on day 5 of stimming and there were 7 follies with three good sized ones and I haven't had a scan since which is scaring the hell out of me because I have no idea if any grew more or what.Not totally impressed but I guess I'll find out tomorrow

LL-hey,I hope your doing ok today and you're planning that next cycle

I was told I could go back to work the day of transfer....pffffft I don't bloody think so,lol.I'm going to have a couple days of relaxing

Hi All,
Thank you for all your posts that make me feel less alone--all my RL girlfriends are posting on FB about being pregnant for the second time and its making me nutty. We've been TTC for about 2 years now with 1 MC last August. Nothing since and starting a Femera/Ovidrel IUI cycle this month (CD 1 today, waiting to have a prelim scan confirmed for Monday).

Your stories of stress and success are so inspiring to me. It makes me feel like I can do this too, and might even have folks I can talk to when I feel like my other friends wouldn't understand. Thanks for being here and sharing your stories and smarts!!

K.

Crystal, don't even think about going to work, my god! Put those feet up and take it easy, your mind will not be on work!

Ksluice....hello and good luck on your first IUI x

crystal what does antagonist mean? its funny I keep hearing this word and having no clue

So after taking 300 of follistim for 8 days and my trigger shot last night in prep for my IUI tomorrow - my hormones have officially gone crazy! After snapping at my husband for no reason, I then fell into an emotional down turn and cried for 2 hours!

Holy crap, I'm so tired of this!!! I can't imagine what pregnancy will do to me! (but I can't wait to find out!)

 

[GreenFingers]

Hockey, so sorry to hear you are feeling down, not long to go now and the drugs have finished so you should start to feel better x x

Sarah, Im on the antagonist protocol and as far as i know it is the same as the short protocol, might be wrong though x x

Ksluice-good luck this cycle and with the iui.

We're au natural until ivf in Dec-Jan. I'm content that health-wise I'm doing all that I can to help things diet-wise, emotionally (trying to remain stress-free), and physically (walking at least every other day-helps me to relax too). I had a positive opk tonight so I'm thinking positive for the next 2 wks.

Morning All.

This morning I awoke to a little spotting, well actually (sorry if this is TMI) a couple of clots really and a bit of bleeding. I am currently 2dp5dt. I have cramps exactly like AF is on her way so I really don't know what is going on.

Trying to stay positive and hope it's implantation but it sure feel like the witch is on her evil way, could it fail this early if it was going to?

So I have my feet up and I am trying very hard to not spend hours searching the web for answers!!!

I have no clue greenfingers.
I'm sure you won't find the answer on the web though.
Maybe spend your time surfing for new recipes. At least you won't drive yourself crazy that way, and it might provide a good distraction.

you can call your doctor to check but I believe that is normal. I was like that straight off the transfer...that scared me but they said it was normal

I would think its way too early for AF, FX'd its implantation....perhaps 2 little beans snuggling in could cause the bleeding? and the cramps could be implantation too. let us know what your clinic says if you ask, and rest loads
