IVFers over 40 for March/April??
I'm having IVF starting at the end of March. This is my first one so I'm really nervous and would love to share this journey with someone!!
I started prometrium last night! 10 days, then call with cd1! It's getting closer! : )
Hi there,
I've not visited this board for a while and hope I can join this thread. I had egg retrieval yesterday. 7 eggs and today got the call that 6 have fertilised. I've always hoped for about 5 embryos so we're on track so far. I'm 43 so I am well aware the odds aren't great.
The pain yesterday was fine. The worst things so far for me have been the headaches while on the bcp (which is the reason I gave them up years ago).
It's funny, I have been thinking of this as a procedure to get through to help me move on to accepting no second baby for us. It's like my one last try. I am trying hard not to let hope push her way into my life. The opposite of thinking positively. I hope it doesn't ruin things.

Globetrot: how long are you on the Lupron for?
Hopefully you're able to sneak out ok to do your drugs :)
MHV: that's so great!!!!!!!!! You are so on your way. It's so nice to get started isn't it!!
Pum: 6 fertilized! That's wonderful news. Are you doing 3 or 5 day transfer and how many are they transferring??
I took my trigger shot tonight for ER on Friday. Total of 4 follies ranging from 1.2-1.7 on today's U/S. I'm a bit disapointed I didn't get more but we'll see what happens!!!

Hi Everyone, got the call today that 18 fertilized. I am happy the results are good, but still nervous about the whole thing. I am still in a lot of pain, but my nurse says it is only because I had so many eggs - which results in extra pokes - and that can be very painful. Besides the pain, I still have a little bleeding.
I could not go to work today, but may try to work a few hours tomorrow. ET is scheduled for Friday 4/8, then 3-4 days of strict bed rest.
MHV - Are you doing the monster shots?
Hopeful - Woo hoo! All I can tell you is that when you wake up and they tell you how many eggs they got, it was like when the Dr announced "It's a girl/boy!" Keep us posted!
Pum-I know exactly how you feel, it's like being afraid to dream
Globtrot- You are a week away from trigger - tops!

Hopeful: They are doing a 3 day transfer and will transfer 2. We are doing assisted hatching. I hope your collection goes ok. Be kind to yourself.
Babydreamer: 18 fertilised is amazing. That gives you a lot of options. My big day is Saturday. Is bed rest recommended? I was just going to take it easy but i will take any excuse to lie around and be waited on. I only didn't go to work as I couldn't drive for 24 hrs but it's back to work tomorrow.

Baby-That's Awesome!! : ) I am so excited for you! Friday is quickly appoaching! How many will you transfer?
Yep, I guess I will be doing the Monster Shots. I am going to try and use a smaller needle. A 23 guage instead of a 22. I heard it takes alot long to get out of the syringe, but I think I can actually give myself that shot. The 22 is just SO big! ugh!
Hopeful- We are all rooting for you! It only takes one! : )
