Wow congrats Allip! Nice to hear positive results
Glad you are off to a good start! I will be thinking about you on November 5th! Funny, you and your dh have the same bday as my dh...good day!:)
As for me, all is still looking good. I had the RE order another HSG test today since I was getting my estrogen and progesterone levels checked anyway. HSG went from 760 to 2769 in 3 days:) Estrogen level also almost doubled so they are letting me reduce the meds by one patch, thank goodness! And progesterone levels over doubled.
No more hsg tests until u/s on November 4th (unless I beg them for it again:)
I had my b/w & u/s today for day 5. Everything looks good. Started clomid 150mg today and go back on nov 5th for another b/w & u/s an hopefully a trigger shot! My and dh birthday are 11/21 I'm hoping for a bday present for us.
Mel4141, Yes, your egg quality maybe worse as a whole, but I am sure there are some eggs in there that are just GREAT and it's just a matter of figuring out (praying? relaxing? acupuncture? diet?) how to get to them. There are so many people who get pregnant naturally at much older than 41 and I'm convinced it's something in their mindset or their lifestyle that makes it happen for them. Are you going to do acupuncture? Yes, I've heard DHEA does help with egg quality.
As for me, although I felt CERTAIN I was not pregnant, my blood work today showed I am. Obviously, I'm completely shocked and elated but won't breathe easily until at least the first u/s on November 4th.
One thing for sure -for you and I both - this whole experience has made me even more appreciative of my daughter and how lucky we were to get pregnant naturally.
Do NOT give up. Where there's a will there's a way!!
Thank you for your comment, we are very lucky and in fact its made me even more determined to move forward and try more things to help us conceive naturaly, I am 41 now and my egg quality is much poorer than what it was when I conceived Alfie neary 3 years ago, i was on clomid before but gave me a cyst, but I always took it despite not having a period(dr just said a day when to start it and so I did). Anyway i am still bleeding now so am going to take small measure 50mg for 5 days, it may help me ovulate and if it gives me a cyst, just won't take it again.I also have dhea which is meant to help with egg quality, so will give that a go aswell, very sorry to hear you didnt make it either, hope you can deal with the heartache and have the strength to try again or a different method, just never give up, lots love melissax
