July testers - Over 35

Forums New posts
I get blood work done tomorrow (problem is that my HCG yesterday was still at 12.5) and dye test next week... next appointment with specialist is in about 2 weeks to determine plan of action. Hubby has to go to that one cause he needs to hear it all

LL....you probably could ......but waiting for it to happen is riskier than making it happen IMO.
 
Money...man is TIGHT! He says if it guarantees a healthy baby its one thing...but shit now I don't know what the heck it guarantees

He is asking me to get estimates on total costs for everything...IVF stuff, OBGyn, Advanced Maternal Age stuff, Hospital etc... this guy is Mr Coupon!
 
yes the longer we wait and keep "trying" the further the chances are... he is irritating me with the money thing. I got up and said "listen, is it worth having a baby or not? cause I will NOT adopt buddy"

Please tell me this is a joke?! :growlmad:

You can't price the unknown...there will always be extras. No one can guarantee a healthy baby, even with IVF.

My RE told me that the has the option of cancelling if my ovaries get over stimulated...so all the $$$ is down the drain before the first retrieval. Another cost were the injectible meds about $3-$5k depending on what dosages you needed and those are not part of the physician costs. You have to get them from a pharmacy.

LL I went through all the testing except for an HSG and sperm analysis - my LO is only 4 and neither DH or I have any medical conditions that would dramatically alter our reproductive systems. All blood tests showed normal for a 41 year old meaning chances were ok, but not great.

I would start wi the basic testing just to see if there is anything obviously wrong.

LOL Honda? YOU WISH...this guy drives a stinkin' FORD! I told you he was cheap LOL...he really REALLY needs a new car, drove around without AC for 3 years!!
 
Sounds ok then. Do you have another one in the house to test against?

Oh crap seriously? WOW. Dh is a cop but he knows that if that were the only option we would spend the money, no doubt. Babies are prized above all else in this household. If he doesn't have the money I would totally understand but if you do, well, forget about it.

And by the way, I drive a Ford lol! But it's a brand new 2011 Ford Flex and I LOVE it!
 
hey LL I was looking at your chart and even if you do get pregnant with IVF there's still a chance of MC. I think just our age makes us likely to MC - the over 40 The fact that you got pregnant w/out any help is encouraging. I've been TTC for 9 cycles and no luck.
