Hi Kiwi,

We get it. We are older... more likely to miscarry and less likely to get pregnant. I've currently got two lines, but they are light and maybe its not going to happen. Its hard to get excited when you know how likely mc is and hard it was to get here. I get it honey. Its not working out like it was supposed to. It was supposed to be easy. you have a great life and a great hubby.. Why the F*** is it you or me or Maddy when everyone else sneezes and gets up the duff. It's absolutely bollocks.

I agree your other thread has lost the TTC theme - its more of a have conceived thread. Why don't you come and join the TTC 35+ thread. Dwrgi is the coordinator and its a gaggle of us oldies with old eggs, who have had more than a few knocks between us. Maddie is one of us too. There are days where people cry/scream/say bad thinks - there are ladies who have tried for 10 years, and who when having IVF have 15cm ovaries. There are lots of hard stories which while they are scary in some ways, give me courage when I hear the stories of the most amazing women I have ever had the honour to know. Even it is just on line.

Why don't you cry a little bit and come on over.

You are not a failure. Some ladies have big feet, bad teeth and some of us just find it just a bit harder to get there.

Some days it will feel hopeless. On those days have a shower, I swear it helps..... and give your OH a big squeezy hug and do something you love.

Maddies right - you can do this honey.
 
Thank hUn! Got my amh results today and they are only 2.3 which us dhite when the levels for my age is between 9-25. AF was due today but still waiting. Was to start IUI when it arrives but Gounod to check with consultant as to what he wants to do. Try IUI this month then if no success then IVF or skip IUI and go straight onto IVF. I gave been sobbing all day. Poor DH doesn't know what to do. Will know more tomorrow, might pop over to that other site later on. I just wanted to get injection started as the sooner they start the sooner they end. My luck AF will be 28 days this cycle

Xxxthanks again for Ur words of encouragement! I apreciate it xxxx
 
Hi kiwi,

mine is 3.1 so its low too... there are lots of great people that have got pregnant with less than that! including me!

start Ivf not IUI - you aren't regularly ovulating... I really want you to take me seriously today - this is your online doctor who cares about you.... Thats the advice I got from best in the state here and this is what I think you need.

I want you to cry and then from tomorrow at 0800 I want you to go to the specialist and DEMAND IVF. That's what you need and that's what you deserve. I need you to exercise, watch comedies, have counselling and choose a baby name.

You will need help and that's ok. Doing nothing is the danger.. Not doing something and frittering your time crying. IVF is completely doable.
 
Sucks bigtime Kiwi but everything else is good - no endo, no major issues and you are heaps younger than this old chick here :) I imagine you would be a great candidate for a bit of 'assistance'. Remember your body is still doing all the hard work for more than 9 months, it's just those first 3-5 days that are 'helped out'. Hugs xxx m
 
I agree Maddy. Kiwi you are doing well girlfriend. Powering along through shots and all sorts of things. So proud of you.

I am due July 1st...hi everyone! I have my scan this friday :) The doctor wants to do the early scan to check on the little one to see if it is as it should be as I had some spotting and pretty high levels of hormones in my blood...praying it is good news!
 
Congrats on the progress, LibbysMum :) It's nice to hear about successful Over-35s!
 
H Ladies, I'm Canadian but moving to Sydney in about 8 weeks as my fiancé is Aussie. I'm currently 17 weeks, due in April. Thought I'd say hi!looking forward to being down under again!
 
Thanks for asking Kiwi. Amazingly (and against clinic policy for over-40s) the FS is going to try IUI. DH's results weren't great & they want to get those swimmers right up there. Since my ultrasound showed a nice follie this month as well as good lining the FS is going to give me a little chemical boost and see if we can catch the egg this way. He wasn't too concerned about my low AMH, he said under 1.0 and he would have been worried. Anyway at my age the success rates for IUI and IVF are the same - about 8%.

We have an appointment to see the nurse and get our meds on Thursday :thumbup:

How are you going? Have you sorted out the next steps and timing yet?
 
Hi Libbysmum, you are a week ahead of me!!!!! I'm six weeks and two days up the duff... Good luck for the scan.. I;m feeling tired, cranky and generally a bit nauseated.. nothing really else to report....

Welcome Caby, you are over halfway girlfriend, exciting times with the move! From chilly to sunny in a plan ride!

Miss M so pleased to hear that you are getting some great advice and that you have an IUI in the future! How wonderful for you! Good luck for.... Yes TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hooo!!!!!

Am crossing my fingers for you kiwi with your IVF journey.. We haven't heard much so have been crossing my fingers down under for you!!!!!

Had more spotting yesterday...freaking out will be so glad when the scan is done then I can hopefully report back with good news!
 
Dr H!!! How are you feeling? Tired and cranky? That's me on a good day :haha: Have you had an early scan or are you waiting to see how things progress? I'm sure the "statistical stress" re: losses is lessening every day. And you have lovely weather right now too. Have you told anyone yet?

LibbysMum hope the scan shows something minor :flower:
 
Miss m I'm kind of in denial. We decided to wait till eight weeks and then have the uss! Feeling kinda bizarre it's a bit weird! How are you going?
 
hey all...had my scan and it went well good heartbeat on the peanut and was at 7wks exactly according to the scan lady measurments. So I guess I am not as far along as I thought...so that is ok...new due date is July 5th not July 1st so maybe the DH will not have to miss out on his birthday after all.
 
Fantastic Libbysmum!
DrH I totally understand. 12 wks will be my "benchmark" for most stress to be relieved I think (previous loss at 11+3).
Kiwi hugs - not long til testing for you ;)

AFM first shot this morning, totally didn't feel it...maybe I'm too fat? I had to have a second look to make sure needle was in my tummy fat and hadn't retracted into the syringe!!!! And then had a congratulatory champers (actually more than 1 - am feeling wobbly) tonight!
 
wow libbys mum great news about the peanut!!!! we will have a scan next week! must arrange it!

Also Maddy woo Hoo!!! very excited for you... not about the injections but because they are one step closer to a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am nauseated, lots of spit and have sore boobs!!!!!!!! No other news here!!!!
 
a lot of places are closed over the Christmas break...our GP said to book in the 12wk scan asap cause not as many scan places are open. We phoned a couple and was put through to the hospital so that is where we will end up going...the earliest they could get to the 12wks was 28th of December which means I will actually be 13 weeks!
Will need the blood test done before that but the GP said you can do that any time after 10 wks...as long as it is about 5 days before the scan.
 
Ew to the spit and MS, DrH. Are you taking something?

Libbysmum you are so organised!
 
Hey DrHouse, how was your scan? Did you see a heartbeat?

Kiwi and LibbysMum, hope you are both well.

We had our first IUI today...now the TWW begins....Does anyone know whether Australia measures our various hormones the same as the US? My clinic gave me my measures for Days 10 and 12 of injectibles without the units indicated. So I'm not sure if I can use the US charts?
Day 10 - Estradiol 821, Progesterone 2, LH 9.19
Day 12 - Estradiol 1001, Progesterone 2.64, LH 57.5 (or maybe 5.75?? difficult to read)
