Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[Grey Eyes]

Ali and Baby---why PIO--can't you just start off with the supps? I know they are messy, but not painful

 

[Babywhisperer]

babywhisperer- Did you do IUI already where in heck as I? lol! Yay! Not sure on the gas and bloating...maybe too much prune juice? Constipation...that'd be progesterone I think or maybe the estrogen I can't remember, I'll look it up. I would def eat more fruit, etc, I have read that citrus is best for that.

Yes, I think coffee adds to the acid but I have only been having one cup a day so I do drink tea tho maybe I should switch to green tea which- I have read- is high in alkalinity?

I did the IUI On Easter Sunday morning. I had gas before the prune juice, and I think you're right that constipation is from progesterone.

1 cup of coffee is ok, I thought you were like my dh and drinking a few cups a day. Btw I also think ACV is good for balancing acid/alkaline. I use ACV in my salad dressing.

Ok 9:00 and I'm going to bed....I'm tired. Night Night ladies!

 

[Samsfan]

Babywhisperer- The drugs will do that to you... gas! When do you test?
It's none of your bosses business. All he has to know is that you need time off for a medical issue you are having. People are so insensitive and so inappropriate.

Chantal- You are devoted. Wow, I'm in bed by 10 pm. I'm a little late tonight. I need to start working out. I've heard that I'm overweight from too many people lately. It's starting to get me down.

Coy- TMI.. you are funny... a razor! Wow you are brave girl!

Alicatt- Fire them!

AFM- I went to another clinic today. Had a great consult today with a new FS. She said she wouldn't have changed anything. Although she was concerned about my insulin and thinks that may be the problem. She prescribed me metamorphin. I was up front with her, told her I hadn't decided to leave the other FS yet, but wondered if she had a different viewpoint. She said she didn't understand why he started me off with IVF. She may have done IUI first, but I'm happy with the decision. I don't think that IUI have worked. I have low ovarian reserve that is confirmed.

She did tell me an interesting story about my acupuncturist. She had a patient that was 29 years old and had early menopause. She was well into menopause and the acupuncturist reversed the menopause. She had her baby and immediately went back into menopause, but she got her baby. Interesting. She had other stories about him, so I'm happy about it. She said it's the tea, not the acupuncture that works with him. I guess gross tea for me. So I'm still weighing whether I should proceed this month or next... I may try the metamorphin for a while and see if I feel healthier for a cycle.

dreaded PIO shot?.....hell is that again? PIO, PIO...gimme a minute, I'll remember

the evil progesterone in oil shot!!! it is thick and impossible to inject it into my rear! it's like trying to suck up peas through a straw, so it takes like 20-30 seconds to get it in, then you end up with a pocket of oil in your rear, so then you have to massage it. Then a bruise forms and after about 2-3 weeks your rear is so sore you can't sit on it!

I've heard about that shot! I dread it for IVF if the IUI doesn't work. Sorry about the migraine hun, I guess you're right that you and I are sensitive to estrogen. I'm getting excited for your FET!!! Btw, how's V?

Sams, good for you for drinking the gunk tea! There is something to Chinese medicine and I know it has worked for me with other issues. I think a part of it is believing it and giving it a chance, so you are well on your way with a few months under your belt. I am hopeful for your next cycle. Where is the new FS?

Chantal, I wish I could do pilates...my core is so weak and sitting at a desk all day makes my hips so tight. When I can go back to exercising I plan on incorporating yoga/pilates with my weights and cardio routine. Any luck in discussing options w/ dh?

Coy, I hope this plague leaves your house soon!! How's your rib? Have you tried stepping down your coffee intake my doing 90/10 caff/decaf and getting to 50/50? I did that and ended up going 100% decaf. Now when I really need some caffeine I do a cup 50/50 and I am wired.

Afm, well headaches have subsided, fatigue isn't as bad as it was immediately post trigger shot. I still get some cramping but its rare. I feel like a bloated beast and my clothes & bras are tight! My cups runneth over! I plan on going for acupuncture tomorrow as I feel it helps with stress and sleep. Work is stressful, tensions are running high so I plan on relaxing from tomorrow night until work Monday. Dh has been wonderful, supportive and compassionate, I am very appreciative of that. Now TMI, anyone who has done IUI, uhh what's up with the gas and constipation? I'm drinking prune juice and eating veggies, but it's not having the same effect. In the past I'd smoke 3 drags of a cigarette and I would get relief, or I'd run 3-4miles and it would get things moving. Is this normal? Maybe it's the progesterone? I hope some implanting happens this weekend. I'll be crossing fingers and saying prayers. And yes Sams, my boss said he suspected all the dr appts were for IVF and I told him no...but what happens if I have to go for IVF and I have to go for more appts?

 

[never_give_up]

Sam metamorphin is usually to treat PCOS. Did the doctor say you have that? Wow that lady was young to be going through menapause at 29.

 

[Samsfan]

Chantal No PCOS Just insulin levels being too high. I agree 29 is very young.

[alicatt]

I'm too tired to post too much

Progesterone makes you sleepy and constipated. I was told to take a stool softener.

Metformin is a diabetic drug used to treat Insulin resistance, and has shown to help women with PCOS. So you are both right!

My biopsy is Monday! I'm a little scared as I've heard it hurts like hell for about 10 seconds then slight cramping afterwards.

Not sure what happens next when do I start lupron? When is the infusion? What other changes are we making?
Reading up on lining issues 2 bad things struck me. HBP and allergy meds can cause a thin lining. Well I've been popping allergy meds like crazy and my BP has risen a little lately. It's still normal, but barely! So I wonder if that isn't causing issues? I found an article that stated that royal jelly and maca root can help the lining so I think I will start taking those supplements again.

Coy.. look up BLK it's a drink made to adjust the PH balance in your body. It looks horrible but tastes just like water and it's all natural!

OK.. that was more than brief! LOL!

Night!

Hello Ladies,

I have a quick question. So, I had an honest discussion with hubby last night and I asked him if he wanted me to try IVF. Ideally, he would like to try as he thinks this is are only option, however, he knows how I feel about it. I'm very much on the fence on this one and probably need to do more research. I was curious who has done this and what your experience has been? Being 37, time is no longer on our side, otherwise I would wait a couple years and try to conceive naturally, however, our doctors keep telling us that "I'm old".

Melly,

I've had 2 IVFs (one at 39 and another at 40), the second one was way more successful and I got 6 beautiful embryos! Unfortunately it sounds like there is something else wrong with me and I'm killing them off before they can implant. Sams has gone through 1 just a few weeks ago, and Chantal has done 1 or 2 as well. So far none have gone full term Hoever I have 4 frosties (frozen embryos) and we are gearing up to transfer them, I think that will occur in the first week of May. So by that point we should have ruled out all the possible issues beyond chromosomal. Since only the strongest embryos make it to blast, the ones I have left have a lower risk of being abnormal (I hope).

With respect to you, I seem to recall that you are against the medications given? Have they tested you and your DH yet to see what the issues are or might be? The important tests are done on day 3 of your cycle, they can test your FSH, LH, E2 and something called AMH and give you a good idea of what your chances are of being able to conceive. I'm suggesting you wait until you have those results before you do anything. Also having karotyping and some immune/clotting factor tests. I'm suggesting this because my FS didn't do it until after the failed second IVF and I'm like umm.. I'm paying a lot of money and if we'd known this BEFORE the first IVF might have worked The other thing I was going to suggest is if your levels come back with a nice healthy reserve, and the issue is more with your DH. You could opt for a non-medicated or lower medicated cycle. Then all they would do is monitor you, retrieve the egg(s) fertilize them using ICSI (recommended if there is any sperm quality issue, or if partners are over 35), then put them back on either day 3 or 5. This is only possible if you the female have nothing wrong, if your ovarian reserve is compromised, then I would recommend using the typical protocol.

I know I whine and complain about the meds, and all the needles, and it being highly stressful. I'm not going to lie, it is stressful, and the meds do make you a little crazy, it it is all short lived just a month out of your life. The stress comes with the fact that it costs a lot of money and spending all of that money with the possibility of failing is hard to handle.

I hope this all helps!

Ali and Baby---why PIO--can't you just start off with the supps? I know they are messy, but not painful

They have offered me suppositories called Crinone and Endometium, both are around $400/mo! I am trying to pinch pennies, and am stabbing my ass for $60/mo I wish my FS would offer me the other suppositories that are cheaper! I don't know why he doesn't? Like the ones you used, or the ones my FS in Canada suggested. I think they are like freezer pops. They are in liquid form, you stick them in the freezer, and then insert them and they melt and you absorb the progesterone that way. So I'm not sure I think I'll have to move to the endometrium later once I am pregnant, or so the nurse said.

Thank you, ali! That is all quite helpful. They have performed the day 3 hormone tests on me, and apparently, I come back normal. My only abnormality thus far is my self-induced ovulation issues (due to runnings), so I would probably cut back on running for a month or two. We would have to do the the ICSI with his sperm. That said, I have been researching the less medicated route, so I do like your suggestion of running those tests and seeing if I came back "normal" then we could do a less invasive route. My grandma conceived her last two children at 38 and 46 naturally (grandpa was 58), so I'm hoping I have some of her stellar genetics.

Melly I don't think you are old! If I was your age I would definately try naturally first. How long have you been ttcing? They recommend after 6 months that you see a fertility specialist. I was 38 when I got my first spontaneous bfp. We had only been married and ttcing for 3 months. I am 41 now so that is why I am looking at other options. Since I had a second miscarriage recently I know that dh and I aren't producing healthy embryos. You can try maca and tapioca pudding (cassava). After taking these for only 2 months I got a bfp. It takes 3 months for egg and sperm quality to improve so you could try for 3 months these taking supplement and then if it doesn't work try ivf.

This is our ttc journey. After my second unsuccessful ivf the RE recommended donor egg. Not only was he saying it was impossible for us to get pregnant naturally with out ivf and ICSI (because dh's poor morphology) but now he was saying my eggs were also part of the problem that we were producing poor quality embryos. They would not approve me for another ivf because of my age. We went to the donor egg consultation and they explained everything. Dh was ready. I wasn't. I really wanted to try naturally with acupuncture and chinese herbs and other supplements. I promised that if by February I didn't get pregnant we would go back to the donor egg clinic. Well I got a bfp Feb 14th. I truly thought this was our miracle since I will be 42 in July and then egg quality declines sharply. Another miscarriage showed that one or both of us is probably passing on bad chromosomes. So for now I am praying and asking God guidance before I make a decision.

I am interested to see the other ladies opinions and hopefully it will help you in making your decision.

Yep!! With the right FS, you can definitely do an IVF without high doses of medications. Just know that you won't get too many eggs. For me I got 17 eggs the second time, of those 15 were mature, and 12 fertilized, and 6 made it as good quality blasts (day 5). In a normal cycle you only get 1 follicle, so your chances are much lower of you getting a nice healthy blast. So I would see what there is in the middle? Maybe a Gonal F/Menopur cycle where they get 3-5 follicles? More of what they do with IUIs as opposed to IVF. Good luck!!!

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your multiple losses. It sounds like it has been a long journey for you, but I'm sure there is a happy ending waiting and there is light at the end of this tunnel.

We have been ttcing since July. We've been married 11 years, so we got a way late start to this. We have seen fertility specialists, and it appears to be all my husband. He had testicular cancer two years ago, and has seen a sharp decline in his sperm count, quality, etc., as a result. We are working on getting his counts up, and is suppose to do another test this week, so fingers cross that there is an improvement there. If his counts do not appear to get better, than that means he is having testicular failure on the last testicle left, which means getting sperm from him may be an increasingly more difficult task, which is why we now have limited time.

 

[never_give_up]

I am sorry that your husband has had to go through cancer. I wish they would find a cure for cancer soon! The doctors have told me that it is easier to treat male factor infertility. So that is very encouraging that all is good with your tests. Like Ali said, with ivf and ICSI they can pick out the best sperm. Keeping fingers crossed that your dh's semen analysis has improved but do not worry, with men since there are millions of sperm it is much easier for the embryologist to find good ones. We are here for you, encouraging you on your ttc journey

So agree with you about cancer. In all honesty, everything is great and I couldn't be happier. At the end of the day, I have a healthy husband, albeit, minus one testicle. Our good friend's wife passed away this past November of lung cancer (she never smoked), she was 34 years old. She was diagnosed when they returned home from their honeymoon; pretty sobering news to say the least. Seeing him watch his wife wither away while they should be enjoy life as newlyweds helped put everything in perspective. Maybe my life has another purpose.

I will keep you updated on our decision.

Sams- Metformin is actually a diabetic drug, yep , my dh used to take it. It is commonly used to help boost fertility also so- glad you have it! Well, you're tough so I guess you can handle the tea!


Chantal- I use the ACV noe, I tried drinking straight- whhooooo! lol

Ali- wait- wha....? You have questions?! You always have so many answers, lol. Oh, and I don't get the cost of your p4...mine were supps and only cost $107.00 a month?! wtf? I'm gonna see...mine was natural, I'll look up the name for you. It was in a glycerin supp shaped like a bullet and kept in the fridge- it melts super fast but very comfortable. I did mine at bedtime so I could lay down--otherwise (tmi) a majority of it, eh, oozes out

Melly- you are NOT old, omg, some doctors! My doc told my as long as I am healthy my eggs should be healthy (unless proven to be otherwise) and I will be 38 in a week or 2.

AFM- late night again! I was up til 4:45...Kat's temp drop to 96! Didn't know wth was going on, so I piled the blankets and cranked the gas heat up...finally it came up to 98 so I went to bed...But I got some good snackin' in (yogurt) and watched Elementary ALL BY MYSELF while it was quiet lol! Today it is raining so I have to go sort out some dry wood Not putting my whole heart in it however..

So Aeryn has learned several new things! She can say "mama, papa, and dada" And she says "HEY!" really loud, lol...she has begun practicing rolling over and doing pretty darn good at it but she gets frustrated....also she has this really annoying whine that she cranks the volume up on, kind of like nails on a chalk board! When she wants attention Also she absolutely loves her walker!! I'll have to post pics

Didn't know wth was going on, so I piled the blankets and cranked the gas heat up...finally it came up to 98 so I went to bed...But I got some good snackin' in (yogurt) and watched Elementary ALL BY MYSELF while it was quiet lol! Today it is raining so I have to go sort out some dry wood Not putting my whole heart in it however..

So Aeryn has learned several new things! She can say "mama, papa, and dada" And she says "HEY!" really loud, lol...she has begun practicing rolling over and doing pretty darn good at it but she gets frustrated....also she has this really annoying whine that she cranks the volume up on, kind of like nails on a chalk board! When she wants attention Also she absolutely loves her walker!! I'll have to post pics

HAHA.. well I know I'm a know it all only because I read up on so many things. I have questions like WHEN do I start lupron will it be before AF? After? Can we try using other things like that neupogen I read about? Should I start taking HBP medicine? Since my BP is borderline? How long before we get the results back on the biopsy? I DO NOT want to have to miss another cycle So yes, I have PLENTY of questions!!

We definitely want pics!!! Pictures of babies are always welcome

I just read this article and my 17.1 BMI may have contributed to my miscarriage. Before I try ttc or do egg donor I really need to work hard at putting on weight.

It is entirely possible! I think that weight is important. If you aren't eating enough to support you own body then your body will expel it. I'm not sure if your weight is low enough? You eat healthily too, but a little meat won't hurt!
