IVF Update

in TTC after 35

Hi Ladies!

I've been quiet this week but very busy!  Today is my 11th day of stims - I've been taking gonal F, menopur and a few days ago I added in ganirelix.

I had monitoring this morning - right now I have 5 follicles between 13 -18 and 6 under 10.  Having spent more time over on the IF board with the young'uns, I'm jealous that many have a ton but I guess it just takes one!  My estrogen is at 1390 and the Dr thinks I'll trigger Friday for a Sunday ER.

Feeling okay.  I came into IVF thinking that "this is it" and that it HAS to work. I was SUPER optimistic and really exciting.  In the last couple of days, I've seen so many people cancelled and the BFNs are starting to wear on me. My spirit is a little dampened. I had a dream two nights ago that my nurse called and cancelled me and last night I couldn't sleep well.  I need an attitude adjustment ASAP but for those you who have gone through this know - the process just begins to wear you out!

Anyway - we're almost there!  I'm excited to get the show on the road! 

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!

    IVF is so tough.  Even the most successful cycles can have troubles.  There is a chance a few more of your follies might catch up and mature between now and ER.  Best of luck and think positive, there is no reason right now to :)

    I hope you don't mind that I'm commenting over here.  I just intro'd on the IF board last week.

    I'm right there with you Lenox!  I'm day 6 of stims and only 3-4 measurable follies yesterday.  Lead follie is 7.5.  Like you said

    I know what you're saying...I'm worn out too. At least the IVF process makes us feel (re)productive. Good luck...things really heat up at the end of stims!!
