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

[sarahincanada]

Wow Sarah, your ticker is moving quickly!

Yes! I have budgeted that if I get all the cheques owing to me I will be able to afford it, so just changing my ticker as I get them in. My only worry is our one business, its really slow and I have to move over money to cover payroll when its slow. it covers itself over the next month.

how much are you budgeting for your ivf or do you have any insurance coverage?

My stupid insurance only covers investigation...the rest is on us.

As it stands now, I think it will end up being around $25-30k...this is it, one round and we pray, lol.

Even with a package, we'd get more than one round, but the meds aren't included and there are sooooo many extras...

 

[sarahincanada]

Can't believe there's so many of us in this thread now, I don't know if its a good thing or not,lol

I like to think of it this way: we are a bunch of determined women wanting our BFP's asap!

I'm not sure what I'm doing right now Sarah.
I've given myself permission to change my mind monthly.

This cycle and next are natural cycles.
Maybe IUI after that?

I guess you could say I'm on hold for a couple of cycles.

I agree, I changed my mind monthly too. how come you decided for a couple of natural cycles? Im loving my month off, its CD14 for me and I only know that as Im recording BDing into FF. I had lots of watery cm yesterday but apart from that Im oblivious to whats happening and loving it!!

My acupuncturist recommended I do just this last cycle. No temping, no POAS, just trying to chill out. She said when you're TTC for a long time, all the monitoring can become stress triggers. It really was wonderful. I only wish it had instantly resulted in BFP. Maybe it will for you

I did 4 back to back with my first son and I had planned on doing the same now.

My DH suggested we take a month off. I had a cyst, the meds sucked ass, and we need to work on relationship issues.
I was actually relieved when he suggested it.

So, here we sit.

I will give him his couple of months off then I want to try again in Jan/Feb. Feb is my month, lol! I can't skip it.

 

[GreenFingers]

Ready- try and enjoy the time off and get yourself all relaxed and geared up for the new year x x

awww hope the relationship is ok, TTC can definitely strain things. We are pretty good but I can tell Ive been yelling at my hubby more since on medications and yes, you cant miss Feb!!

Well I'm excited and had a great appointment today!

She loved my FF charts by the way. So she reviewed all my info from over the years which was a lot since I've been seeing her for about 20 years.

She gave me the results from my ultrasound I had in Jan. that I didn't really remember much about.

Normal uterus : good!
endometrium linning: 11mm
Right Ovary: Posteromedially positioned?: containing 1 - 2.2 follicle 1 - 2.4 follicle and 1 - .7 follicle for a total of 3
Left Ovary: containing 1 - 2.3 follicle and several subcentimeter follicles basicly 1 ready for use.

So she wants me to do a progesterone test on day 21 to make sure I'm actually releasing a follicle. She thinks I might be having trouble releasing one of the ones I'm producing. So I'm schedule on Nov. 7th for that which is actually CD 22.

She also made me feel better about anything else she might have me do and we can go as fast or slow as I like. Overall very good!

I am so glad you had a good appointment!

Oh I almost forgot she started me on a prescription for some vitiam that contains DHA and EPA. They would like anyone over 35 TTC to take them.

 

[Milty]

FX for all of us!!

DHA or DHEA? they are different

 

[dachsundmom]

DHA is a fatty acid, isn't it?
