TTC 40 plus!! Lets share the ups and downs!

[Spoomie]

Reb, delighted, still crossing it all and categorically refuse to open the bottle xxx

Nise, sounds like a lot of soul searching to come, thinking of you on 27th xxx

Ok - now this is a bit more sane - only 6 fertilized! That's more what I was expecting. For some reason I over-stimulate, but my egg quality is low. Bye, bye, poor little geriatric 15 eggs on zimmer-frames! Fingers crossed that we can get one to blast for Tuesday transfer, else it's Sunday for day 3

6 is great! Will keep everything crossed that they keep multiplying and growing

Hey all!

There are some familiar friends on here! Hey Butterfly!

Well, I turned 40 in March so I guess I can join this thread now!

We have been trying since 2005 and have lost 6 babies. All around 11-12 weeks. The marvellous Ms Deans my specialist is convinced that it is all down to a translocation in one of my X chromosomes that is lethal to males... she is also convinced that all my babies have been boys and certainly my last 2 losses were boys with my translocation.

As my translocation is so rare it makes PGD very expensive. So after losing 2 babies last year we chose to try ED... despite me reacting brilliantly to the drugs and producing 3 grade A embies it didn't work. We were crushed.... and decided to call it a day.

However, I just can't let go to the idea what I will have a child and we are trying again au natural! Hopefully it will all start on our holiday to Florida in June...

I am normally on 1200mg of cyclogest
5000uig Fragmin
Aspirin
High dose folic acid
25mg prednisolone
Pregnancare

and am thinking of adding CQ10...cos I don't rattle enough! LOL

Looking forward to getting back on the rollarcoaster with you all!

Hey Pad I have to admit I thought you were only about 37

 

[padbrat]

... and that is why you are my friend!!

[Nise]

Reb, that's great news. 6 is Brilliant, and so is your sense of humor - waves good bye to Rebs poor little geriatric eggs As for the hero 6 may they divide and conquer.

Padbrat and welcome back. So sorry to hear about your loses, very interesting how you've come to pinpoint almost exactly what is wrong, though I wish you hadn't had to. Good luck with the au-natural method and here's hoping for a girl!

 

[Desperado167]

Padbrat ,it's great to see you on the thread ,best of luck lovely and sorry again for your losses ,

 

[Glowstar]

Reb - woo hoo for 6 fertilized!! if you can are you getting more than one put back??

Pad - sorry about your losses, I hope 2012 is your year

 

[Reb S]

Welcome Padbrat - so sorry for all your losses. But at least you have a reason. I guess you've probably read all the old wives tales about how to get a boy?! What about genetic screening to get girl embies - can they do that nowadays? I know the LLBean knew which they were putting back when she did her IVF...
AFM - eating lots of prunes...anyone who's done IVF knows why! x

 

[LLbean]

yes if they do PGD they can tell

 

[LLbean]

If you are trying naturally the recommendation for girl is to BD up to 3 days before ovulation...the theory is that boy sperm swim faster but die out quicker...with girl sperm they are sturdier and last longer...in that case slow and steady wins the race ;-)

 

[Reb S]

Kaah! Just swallowed a prune stone. Ugh.

 

[LLbean]

Reb that sucks!

[Reb S]

hahahaa!!!

Hi Ladies please can I join you I am old enough

My story so far myself and hubby got married in August 2010 and I was lucky to fall pregnant in June 2011 unfortunately I lost it around 6 weeks later - we were gutted but somehow that made me more determined to carry on trying (it had happened once so why not again?)

I have two boys from a previous marriage aged 11 & 9 years old and would like one with my new hubby (32). I am temping, drinking grapefruit juice, using a CBFM and OPK's and just awaiting the results of more blood tests from the Doc, I feel like a human pincushion at times.

I am nearly 41 in August surely I haven't missed the boat?

Good luck to all you ladies and lots of

X

Hi Garfie and welcome. I'm sure you haven't missed the boat Good luck
