Yep, I think my friends in their mid 30's are sick of me telling them not to wait. I've become quite evangelical about it!
I think it's the media/celebrities that lulls women into a false sense of security regarding how long they can wait. In the paper the other day was an interview with Kelly Preston (John Travolta's wife) saying they were thinking of trying to have another baby after her next movie-SHE's 44!! What they never say is that they don't do it with their own eggs.
Anyway, bad news for me today my levels are actually going down. So I now have to alternate dosages, one day 37.5, the next day 75. weird.
-
And yep I hear you Ellie on the Puregon. I put on 4 kilos in 10 days (I only put on 9 kilos the whole time when I was pregnant with my son!). One of the nurses said it might be fliud, but I knew it wasn't - it was food- I ate everything in sight. I have never been so hungry!
-
Tam - yep will be finding out the flavours of bubs. Cant wait actually...
Ellie - so hoping that Dr S can give you some answers....:pray:
Dee - I always had problems with putting on weight with Puregon, but dont remember putting too much on with the Gonal... didnt really have too much problems as far as being too emotional though (thankfully!)
Odette - Good Luck Sweetheart!
I think knowing what I know now if I was in my mid thirties and not yet wanting to TTC I would consider freezing some eggies... but it really is hard to know!

hi all
had scan and still a way of ovulating
so seratac start tests on Monday and go for another scan if no surge on Wed.
Know that I will prob ovulate on thursday/friday so probably have emby back on board next weekend i am tipping
my body loved pergon - i know i am weird. I was on the highest dose that they can give you, and my body thrived. My body just hated that crinone cream.
it is amazing how we all respond so different
on the highest dose of pergon, i only got 4 egg- but they were all goers and all turned into embies. I am a quality rather than quanity- my doc says
now just got to get one of the buggers to stick!!!!
-
Crossing everything for your success Odette!
-
Thanks keen

will keep you posted
-
1 week down, 1 week to go.... sending more positive vibes your way, matey.
How's you going Marg??
-
Hi everyone,
I have just been reading and thought I'd share! I am on an antagonist cycle (day 10). I am 40!!! and have had 1 success and my last 3 ivf attempts failed. This is definetely our last go at this. I am tired and think that it is such an addiction! I had my 1st ultrasound today and also a bt but I am worried that the follicles have no eggs in them because my last bt showed a v low estrogen level (64). Lots of :pray: needed.
Good luck to all who are on the ivf merry-go-round!
-
Hey odette - how are things going for you - not long now xx
-
Still keeping everything crossed for you Odette. xoxo
Hi threesthenumber, also hope there is some good news for you around the corner. AC is such a tiring thing to go through but sometimes making the decision to stop is the hardest step of all. Good luck. xoxo
Hi Keen, hope all is well with you. xoxo
Not much to report from me. I think I previously mentioned that I've hurt my neck/shoulder at work (partly stress and partly a repetitive strain type injury) and have been seeing a Physio for the last 4 weeks. It has improved but it feels like two steps forward and one step back! My Dr has me working half days at the moment which has been a relief considering how stressed I've been with work the last 12 months. Of course the injury isn't helping my goal of losing more weight tho!!! Still, I probably wont go back to the FS until late August to have a chat about the next step so I have a few more weeks to try and budge a couple more kilos!
Hope everyone is well,
Marg
-
Ok I succummed last night and POAS and . . . .
Had my bloodtest today as I couldn't help myself and guess what . . .. .

Finally after 4 years trying this time - I am officially pregnant and due on April Fools Day!!!
You guys and my mum are the only ones who know!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! That's wonderful news Odette - I'm so happy for you.
:happyforyou:
Take good care,
Marg
xoxo
-
BFP!
-
AWESOME News, Odette! Go Team! :confetti: :dance:
-
Oh wow another one crossing over, what wonderful news!
Well now I am on CD 37, no sign of the witch and no other symptoms either. Been doing HPT's nearly every day and all of them BFN (pregnow internet cheapies). Bought a clear blue and will use in the morning. Fingers crossed.
On another subject, yes I know said I wasn't going to do it, but, thinking that perhaps just one more crack at IVF. I feel like such an idiot, but I don't think that I can give up. I don't know if I 'll ever be able to. We have 1o in the freezer adn I can't just leave them there can I?
Luv to all
Ann :wall:
-
you go Ann
good luck hon - let hope your news was good this morning
thanks all for your wishes- us LTAC girls have to stick together - lolol
goodluck girls
-
Hello, anyone there?
Jeez it is quiet in here! You have all crossed over, am I here all alone?
Well, CD50 for me and still bloody counting! Thinking about going for another frozen cycle in three months time. After 5 attemps I'm a bit worried that I'm only throwing good money away, but on the other hand I do have 10 little embies sitting there.
This is the longest cycle I have ever had. Lucky for me I don't have any more HPT's handy. Look, I am not thinking for one second, well maybe for one or two that i may have caught an egg, but for the last two days I have been so hungry all the time, and if I don't eat I start to feel sick, and the slight cramps,(doesn't feel like AF cramps, too centralised for that) and the niggly little twinges here and there.
Have I talked enough to my self yet?....... I think I have.
Ann (wanting to cross over sooo badly)
-
Oh, I just wanted to add, that even though I am so happy for Keen and Odette and the other girls that have "crossed over", I miss you girls. It is lonely in here talking to my self. Please do not feel weird about dropping in here just to say hello. I would like to know how things are going for you, but I feel like an imposter if I go into the pregnancy forums, like I shouldn't intrude
Luv to all (the lonely one, all alone in here) ha, ha
-
Hi Ann, would love to hear that you also have some great news to share. Will keep my fingers crossed that you get to 'cross over' to the preg forum soon.
I'm also still 'hanging around'! But it definitely has gone quiet in here hasn't it!
I'm off to the Gold Coast on Saturday for a few days break - can't wait. I've decided to give Sharkey's Healing Centre a go, and have an appointment while I am up there. I'm at the stage where I dont think giving anything a try can hurt - and if it actually helps then that's a bonus. Will let you know how it goes when I get back.
Take care,
Marg
-
Oh Margoz,
I know what you mean about giving anything a go. At the very least it does give you some hope. Wishing you a great few days on the Gold Coast (we try to slip up there every so often). Hoping you can get some results up there too!
Luv Ann
-
Hi ann, my sweet.
There are still many LTAC people around, but for some reason, many post in the LTTTC threads and not here. Maybe because it's generally busier and there are more people to chat with? I'm not sure.
I completely get you wanting to give IVF another go. It represents a ray of hope, even when you think you've had enough.
Thinking of you and hoping you make a decision you're happy with. But more than that, hoping you won't need it (cd 50 sounds good to me...)
-
Hi Ann, you're not alone in here!
I am just about to start IVF, although have been ttc for 2 years - fell pregnant 4 times in a row, miscarried them all then was put on metformin to stop the miscarriages and stopped conceiving despite clomid, fsh and a couple of IUIs. My doc. (prof. chapman) suggested IVF and I'm in to see him next week to get the ball rolling. I have a 2 1/2 year old son (clomid) thank heavens or I would be starting to go crazy. And thanks heavens for internet htp and ov sticks or I would be broke!
Anyways finger crossed for you (Coles has htp's on sale this week!)
-
Ann honey, sorry I have been MIA - some crappy stuff going on.
Im happy to hear you are considering another go - never say die! You deserve it so much... I would love to think you are right now, and will be sending all the positive vibes I can your way!
Know you can still PM me whenever and chat like we used to matey - I certainly havent forgotten you or the pain and crap we have gone through... hang in there and keep us up to date on your cycle, k.
-
Hey Ann, like Sushee said, some LTACs post in the LTTTC & AC threads. Drop in there, everyone is welcome and there's always lots of chat.
-
Hi Ann hope you are well hun, havent seen you for a while xx

-

-
Hey Lou...just replied to your PM...this is the thread I was talking about!!!
I'm in the same boat as you CD 40 something...lost count...might phone the clinic for bloods this week....did a HPT with a BFN which I expected but would like my body to behave for once!
-
hello everyone!
Just popping to say hi. You have all been on my mind. I hope you all are doing well.
Congratulations Keen. I am soo thrilled for you.
Not much is happing for me TTC wise. Still wishing and hoping for a miracle. Tried really hard not to think about it. or focus on it. Part of the reason for not popping in here lately. Just wish I could make the heart ( and DH heart) not long for what it does!!!
Will try to pop in here more often.
sending you all much baby dust!
-
