TTC after 35

Well it's positively positive :) fingers crossed!!

Didnt drink anything, had lunch and went to poas on my new batch of frers and it's definately a positive, no squinting but still light.  We still got a LONG way to go, I was supposed to schedule DH's sperm analysis for this week and we have an IVF class on Thursday but looks like I might be getting a beta that day instead. I'm still ordering my meds, just in case. Estrogen wouldn't cause a false + right? I know that's ridiculous right?

  • Wahoooooooo!

    My understanding is that it's progesterone that pushes HCG, so estrogen shouldn't give a false +. Plus, it's not the same hormone, and those HPTs are set up only to test for HCG (which is similar to LH, but the tests are sensitive enough not to register LH). 

    So I think it's a beta you're going to be wanting, there!

    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.
  • Estrogen shouldn't give you a false +.  Everything is looking good for you so far, though I understand the apprehension.  I hope you get to go in for a beta!

    Yes, my sister had 3 failed IVF's right in a row, all chemicals and then got her bfp two cycles later during a break they took for more testing. I really didn't think i'd ever get a bfp after 40 days with no period, who knows I guess there's a really really cushy lining in there after all that time, just hoping it's our good egg!

    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!!!

    No monitoring or stims this cycle, just went for an u/s on cd 30 because I still hadn't gotten my period, Dr. confirmed I ovulated sometime almost two weeks ago, he only saw one corpus luteum on my right side, so I'm guessing that means I only had one follie. I guess it's true, you only need one!
