TTC after 35

Starting to rebound... how y'all doing?

My package of 50 OPKs and 20 HPTs (all Wondfos) just arrived from online. My chart is giving me hope that I will get my period on time. And Dhreczuk has a BFP.

I'm feeling like I may not be out of the game yet...

How y'all faring this mid-week?

Re: Starting to rebound... how y'all doing?

  • Just got back to the office from getting my HSG - piece o cake.  My doctor is very hopeful this will do the trick (no issues found) so I'm feeling great!  Hoping to O this weekend and praying this is our month.  And Dhreczuk not only got her BFP - she and I go to the same RE office so I hope this is a sign!!!
    Me: 37 DH: 37 TTC since Jan 2012. RE consult and initial testing done in Aug 2012: SA fine, AMH 1.1 & HSG clear - on way to IUI but got BFP on 9/10/2012. m/c 10/3/2012 at 6w5d. BFP next cycle which was a c/p. IUI #1: Clomid 100mg 12/6= BFN. IUI#2 (unmedicated) Jan 2013 = BFN. Hysteroscopy 1/25/13. IUI#3 Clomid 100mg 2/23 = BFN IUI# 4: BFN. IVF #1 April 2013, BFP!  EDD 1/12/14 with Boy!
  • Going a little 2WW crazy right now! 

    Actually my average LP since I've been charting has only been 10 days with the longest being 12 so 2 weeks of waiting has yet to be the case for me.  I'm at 8DPO and thought for sure I would see the temp start to dip again this morning because I started feeling PMS crampy last night but it actully went back up again and my BBs are killing me (which they have been getting pretty sore before AF the last few cycles but right now I swear they might explode) so there is still some hope.

    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

  • my temps have stayed above FF preceived coverline and are in what are my usual BFN cycle range for LP so I'm hoping I'll get AF in a week or so and before I see RE.  

    I have RE appointment on the 31st, hoping to start DHEA under his supervision (i.e. get a presciption because otherwise I have to make another trip to the US to pick some more up).  Also, hoping he'll let us start talking about DE now even though I'm intending to keep trying naturally for the next 3 cycles.

    hope hope hope

  • I'm still waiting for my results from my AMH test it's like they sent it to Syberia or something. I finally feel somewhat normal after our failed IVF cycle and finally scheduled a second opinion for ultrasound and B/w with a new RE and I'm terrified that he will say that we are out of the IVF game but after our phone consult he doesn't think we are so if you ladies have any positive thoughts please send them this way my appt is scheduled for Sept 10th.

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

  • You just reminded me that I need to order some Wondfos...I haven't used them before but have read that a lot of you use them.  That way, I can test whatever day I want rather than just using the 3 measly pregnancy tests that come in the Target brand box at the very end of my cycle. 

    Feeling kind of excited to be starting injects...the more I read about them being more effective than Clomid the sooner I want to start the shots.  BUT if this is another 33 day cycle I'll have to wait awhile...

  • I think my 2WW is over tomorrow.  Took a FRER (actually 3) this week and all have been negative.  Possibly a visit from AF tomorrow.  Not feeling particularly hormonal, but we'll see.  On to the next month!
  • I started back to work on the 13th after four years of not working, and I am exhausted! Finally putting my degree to work, but man, I am wiped!

    Got kicked out of that wedding, though, so that was a good thing.

  • Doing fine.  Trying to get my prescriptions sorted through mail order which is a little annoying.  Plus I may have to get the needles separately since NY doesn't allow fax or call in for needles, apparently.  Other than that craziness, well.. there's the rest of life Hmm

  • A-OK, here. Decided to take September off from the RE and re-group in October.  In September, I am just going to go for my annual pap and mammogram.  Also, I made an appointment to check in with a hematologist on my elevated lupus anti-coagulant, as well as a second opinion appointment with another RE at a large clinic here in Chicago.  I want to make conditions as best as possible for the upcoming FET to work.
