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

Can you continue to use the same vials if you have extra next month? I have 600ml left in another one. I'm assuming they don't expire that quickly right?

my clinic said the opened medication expired after a month (unopened can stay in the fridge for a few months) and I was also told to keep my opened in a cool dry place but didnt need to be in the fridge.

but someone else on here was told they can use the opened as long as in the fridge....so I guess check with your clinic! would be interesting to hear what others have been told.

That could be an amazing savings Sarah!

I know right! someone else on here had mentioned it. Im just wondering if my clinic will let me buy 3 x 300 over the 900....hopefully they are ok and dont look at me as if I have 2 heads it would be different if the 900 gonal f was cheaper than 3x300 gonal f, but it isnt

Why would it make a difference to them?
Hopefully it won't!

It shouldn't make a difference how you want to buy the meds, but I guess they can be a bit finicky!!

crystal big I just saw your signature and went and looked at your journal...I had no idea...did I miss something or did you not post it on here? I can barely keep up with the couple of threads Im on on here as it is, so I dont venture over to journals much. Im so sorry regarding the response but glad to read you are ok and happy to have some time off

Sarah have you thought about networking with your FS to see if you can put your SPA info in their clinic? I would think a lot of TTC laddies might really enjoy a relaxing spa day. Just and off thought I had.

There are so many people gearing up for Jan now, so excited for you all. We plan to do our second in Jan if this doesn't work so who knows i might be joining you!

great idea, but the spa is an hour away in a different town so I dont think people would travel. also I dont think they allow advertising. but good idea, I should look into some fertility centres in the town the spa is in and offer them a discount to relax. thank you for the idea!!

 

[sarahincanada]

greenfingers how are you doing??

I will probably do my 2nd IVF around Jan depending on my cycle and travelling home for Christmas. but I hope greenfingers and I will be cheering you all on with sticky beans inside of us

How's your head ksluice?

ready - thanks for checking in on me. Head's Ok! I had a rough time for about four hours yesterday. Just felt nutty, but about 3pm I felt much better. I'm waiting for the wave of feeling yucky again, but so far so good. And so far No headaches, mostly just tired and loopy feeling.

I just took DH to the airport - he's oot til tomorrow, and I think I'm heading for a nap today

crystal sending you I hated reading you news.

What's up with you GF? Any news today?

So I went for the acupuncture consultation this morning with a clinic that specializes in fertility. Very impressive. I was always a doubter but now I'm even more curious.

Got an appointment for my first real session on Saturday. According to the doc, acupuncture can increase your IVF success rate by 10%. Wow! Hey I'm game for that!

Now if I can get my insurance to pay for some of it, that would be even better!

 

[GreenFingers]

Hi all Im just sitting waiting....yawn!!! This is so hard, it is the hardest bit of the entire thing, its a out of my hands now and there is nothing i can do.

Im getting really tired by the evening but trying not to read to much into that!

Ksluice hope that yuckiness stays away!

Sarah your ticker is nearly there, when is your first appointment, do you know what protocol you are on yet?

Hi to everyone else x x

 

[readyformore]
