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

[LLbean]

Sarah, if I go for a second beta...it would be Thursday and I most likely wouldn't get results until Monday. I have a scan next Wed and my doc thinks he can pic up the sac location on it...so, I figured instead of stressing over a number, just to wait it out for the scan.

Do you think it's a bad idea?

Whatever works for you is what you should do

 

[LLbean]

dmom I understand, but wouldnt they want to check the numbers to make sure doubling etc, or do you mean they are going to be checking but you dont want to know? and they think next week there should be something on the ultrasound then, oooh I can hardly wait for next week.

LL thats great news, I hope you have some real good quality ones cooking. So when is your next scan? I can barely wait to see how this cycle goes with the pgd etc. I guess your transfer will be next week as well, will be an exciting week

I believe I go back tomorrow...waiting on the call with Estradiol levels and we shall see.

Tentatively the ER should be on the 16th...we will see

no not at all, its just I though the rising beta numbers might be reassuring to know that theres a good chance of being a viable baby. the scan might show something but doesnt tell us if its viable like the beta Im thinking.
what have you done in the past?

Morning ladies

DMom- so happy for you If you'll stress over the second beta and your comfortable waiting til next Wed then go with that whatever your most comfortable with is the important thing. I'm sure you'll do fine on the tablets and maybe it was the cream that worked for you so no harm in taking them

LL- 10 follies your numbers always make me smile If I had 10 follies that early in the game I wouldn't know what to do with myself I know you'll do great this time Liz so so exciting. Will you find out the embie sexes when they get put back this time? I think that is truly amazing, your cycle is so exciting and its helping me pass my time which seems to be taking forever and a day

Sarah- How are things going for you? Won't be long and you'll be at transfer day

Hi everyone!

DMon so excited for you, huge congratulations! We don't get Betas here but I had an early scan and it was amazing!

LL 10 follicles is amazing, really pleased for you, let's hope everything you have done has really helped with the quality too x x

Hi Crystal, how's the birth control going? How many more days on that?

 

[crystal443]

Hi Greenie How are things? Your bump must be coming along nicelyI'm on BC until Jan 24th but I start the Synarel spray on Jan 18th and then go for a scan on the 31st and if everything is quiet I'll start stimming then

Sarah, in the past I have done nothing but obsess...I am taking a different approach this time, bc in my heart, I know there is nothing I can do about any of this...

It's not that I have found some magic PMA, but I am trying to be realistic, if this makes any sense at all.

I like it, and think thats a great way to think as you are right, theres nothing that can be done but hope and pray for the best. I hope that you can help me not obsess if I ever get my bfp.

hi!! things are good, I saw my FS yesterday and scan is friday, so its not tooooo bad of a wait. It was nice being there yesterday and my FS seemed very impressed with my response and pretty confident things will happen with one of the FETs. if everything looks good I think I go back monday for one last ultrasound and ET next thursday.
how are you doing, I find when Im not doing much Im good at forgetting all this nonsense, but once I start I cant stop thinking about it but the weeks do really go fast. Im glad theres more of you cycling around the time i am. by the time I know my result you will be starting, so if Im waiting to do another cycle you can keep me entertained!! I really hope you respond well this time, you deserve it.

 

[dachsundmom]

For all!

 

[crystal443]

I just want enough eggs to work with lol, it is nice to have other ladies that cycle around the same time and its even better when some start getting BFP's it always makes me hopeful for IVF There has to be a golden egg/eggs in your frosties so I'm very hopeful for you!!

Dmom- What will be will be and as we all know if wanting something so bad made it so then we'd all be preggers by now Taking it easy and trying not to stress over numbers is good I can't wait to see how get on at your scan

 

[constancev18]

Mine went well too as far as I can tell. Still have to hear back on the blood work but we have 10 follicles so far (5 on each side)

Great numbers, keeping my fingers crossed for your transfer.

 

[sarahincanada]

LL saw in your journal you have 12 follicles

 

[LLbean]

So it seems. New ultrasound lady... First she said seven on the right then hit delete by accident and had to start all over and went to six but nurse says no way one could have grown so much in a day and it may be two together and she counted it as one lol

Good idea.
I have already decided that if I get pregnant, I am going to tell them explicitly that I do NOT want to know hcg #. There is absolutely nothing that you can do that will affect whether it rises or not.

Also, progesterone is HUGE lately! And in a good way! Keep up with the prometrium for sure.

 

[readyformore]

Lots of progress being made on the IVF route for you guys!!

Have you decided for sure to do 1 this cycle Sarah? It seemed like you were leaning in that direction.

 

[dachsundmom]

Ready, what did you decide about when to trigger?

 

[sarahincanada]

Have you decided for sure to do 1 this cycle Sarah? It seemed like you were leaning in that direction.

yes! it feels weird when everyone else choses 2 or more, but I feel its best for me right now. I was googling SET last night and found that in europe some countries have a law to only transfer one, and that overall pregnancy rates are the same whether you do 1 or more. It just takes longer when you are doing 1, but the rates are more or less the same. It will be a lesson in patience for me, but at least if I get a bfn I know I can try again 2 weeks later.

just hope my blasts survive the defrost, Im so lucky to have a good number to start with.

when will your iui be?
