Hi Renee ~ Welcome to our thread! I'll be 40 in November and we have other women who are 40 and up. You're are on a great thread with lots of wonderful, supportive women!
We'll help you along your journey.
Are you going to start BCP first? Do you already have an idea of what your protocol will be? have you done BW already?

Wishing you the best! If you wonder what all the lingo means, you can go the general message board and find the meaning of the abbreviations.

Baby dust...

Val

[Much Hope]

Welcome Renee:

My name is Elida. I am 41 and Stimming for my first cycle, EST ER is 8/23. I had my tubes tied 18 yrs ago for genetic reasons and now with PGD I am able to rule out that factor and have a healthy baby or two

I did a lot of research to find the best clinic and the best doctors with extremly high success rates for women over 40 using their own eggs.

They are the only clinic in the country to proform CGH which increases IVF success. If you have not heard of this procedure there is information about it on their website.

Sher institute for reproductive medicine.

I hope this information is helpful to you and that you have your dream come true very soon.

Much baby dust
Elida

Hello Everyone, I'm a Newbie!
I am on my 5 th day of stimms today and will be going in for an u/s tommorrow with high hopes of seeing more follies . Day 3 of stimms I only had 4 and my RE was not impressed Anyway Valerie68 told me to c'mon over after chatting with her earlier! Thanks Valerie!!! I am wishing everyone lots of mgical baby dust- I feel so much better I finally decided to post instead of lurk. All of you have been so inspirational to me and if I would probably be allot more edgy if you girls werent so opne and knowledgable.. soo thanks

PS- I am on the Lupron/Gonal F protocal (5utis of lupron/ 450 untis of Gonal F)

[karenvancouverisland]

hi all, congratulations to our 4 pregos! it is wonderful the energy and hope on this thread. i haven't posted much, as someone else said (? hard to remember who's who), i'm trying to be less obsessed this time around too. and jjake- don't worry- i have to make notes also

so i made a big decision today that effects my cycle start date. i postposed my hysteroscopy- cancelled aug 18 and will rebook for early sept. my RE needs a clear hysteroscopy before doing another IVF (making sure no damage from june m/c). so after finally getting AF (the first one since m/c) 12 days ago, i started to think - maybe my past pregnancy has changed things and i can get BFP on my own. i know the odds of this aren't great, but why not try?? i am available for any miracle. anyways, having the hysteroscopy wrecks any developing pregnancy, so decided i'm not comfortable with having it next week and will focus on BMS.

so, originally i was going to stim end aug/early sept, but now it will be late sept/early oct. i think we'll just try 1 month of BMS, and then do IVF. i'm hopeful, but realistic.
will anyone here be with me at this time?? coco, mztia, sue, steph, renee?

it's just too much $$ for us not to try natural. i'm very scared of running out of $ before this works. i'm a bit schizophrenic these days- going from optimistic/having faith/feeling patient- to- desperate, crazy, and i need it to happen NOW!

anyways, best to all. hugs karen

[Biddy]

Hi everyone. Its a bit late at night and I am too tired to catch up on the thread - will have heaps of time over the next few days!!! I had two beautiful embies planted today so officially PUPO!!!! Yah!!! Now I have to get thru the 2WW...

[JDC]

Hi everyone! I'm soooo excited. I did a digital hpt this moring and I got a pregnant!!!!!! My beta is not until friday....is it possibe that the hcg from my trigger shot is still in my symstem? I took my ovidrel at 11:30pm on 7/30. I think my RE will be VERY surprised! He made it clear my prognosis was POOR! Of course we have to wait for the beta, but I hope this gives hope to some of the older women in our group, and those with only a few follies. Remember, I only had four. OMG I can't contain myself right now because I feel so blessed.

I hate to be so self centered - I will definitely get some personals in later or tonight.

I'm thinking of you all and thank you for supporting me through this journey! You all have a special place in my heart!

[to_have_fun08]

JDC - CONGRATS on the BFP. The Ovidrel should be out of your system by now. It takes 1 day to wear off 1,000 of Ovidrel so if you took 10,000 u it would take 10 days. You are definitely passed 10 days.

Biddy - YEAH you are PUPO!!! Congrats on ET. When is your beta?

Karen - it is good to hear from you. Good for you for waiting it out and trying on your own again. I am thinking right now that if this cycle doesn't work (which it will -- PMA) that I will try on my own for a few month before beginning another cycle.

MizTia - So glad you get to start in a couple of weeks. KUP.

Renee and toobee - Welcome to the board. Good luck on your IVF roller coaster ride.

Baby_crazy and Jenolina - GL on ER on Friday. Hoping you get lots of good eggies that want to fertilize and grow.

Hope everyone else has a good day.

Chris

I love putting the smiley faces in so I had to update the schedule to put a smiley face by JDC's BFP.

Good morning!

Lots of good things happening here!!

First of all...JDC~ WOOOHOOOO!!! on that positive hpt!!! From a faint line to positive...I think your numbers are going to be good. I am soooo happy for you! I would love to see your RE's face when he finds out...we can never give up hope! I can't wait to see your beta. Love and hugs for you!

WelcomeToobee~ I'm glad you joined us and let us know about your BW and US today!

Biddy~ Congrats on being PUPO! Stay relaxed and occupied during your 2ww!

Karen~ Wishing you the best and I hope you get a natural BFP. If not, I'll be looking to cheer you on when you start. You never know, it can happen on its own, that would be so wonderful!!

Mztia~ So glad you get to start soon!!

To_have_fun~ You do a fabulous job keeping up with everybody's schedule and you're so sweet to be so anxious to put that smiley face...I love it. Hope stims are going well for you!

To all the other girls stimming...best of luck and all we can say is : Grow follies, grow and Go team August!
I read in a magazine at my RE's office that there is an increase in BFPs during the summer months...so we're definitely doing the right thing.

I'm doing good but I wish I would get an US sooner and see how many follies I have! More than a week will have passed before I get my first one!!

Jharris~ I'm thinking about you during this tough time and I wish, I hope and I pray that your number goes back up. You're in my thoughts and will gather all the baby dust I possibly can find and blow it your way.
Big hugs and love for you!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Much love,

Val

JHarris - darlin', keep your chin up! Not all is lost just yet. Stay as calm as you can. The mind has such power over the body and stress can be devastating. You don't know what is going in there just yet, so keep the PMA up, as hard as it is. You're in my prayers.

Karen - I will probably start my patches in November and have my FET that month. I've found you have to do what feels right for you and if you aren't ready, don't push it.

Have a great day, ladies!

[muggsey24]

Good morning ladies! How is everyone doing? I see we have more BPF's!!!!!!!!!!!!

jharris - praying you numbers go back up. Stay positive!

Val - How are you feeling? Hope you are doing well.

to_have_fun - Thanks so much for keeping up with all of us. You do a wonderful job! I love you putting smilies beside the BFP's. Hopefully we will have the whole post filled with smiley faces.

To all waiting to start cycle - it want be long.

To all the ladies stimming - WOW!! we have lots of ladies here. YAY! Praying for lots of follies (mature ones=)) and many BFP's!

To all the ladies in the TWW - Praying your time will pass quickly. The TWW is awful. Praying for lots of BFP's!!!!

To those who have gotten BFp's already - You give me so much hope!!!! Keep em coming!! Praying you ladies have a healthy and happy nine months! =)

Well as for me I am on day 3 of stims. I go for a scan and b/w in the morning to see how my follies are growing and how many I have. Then will await a call from my nurse to see if I need to do anything different with my med's. Hope you ladies have a wonderful day, i'll check back in later. Me and my daughters have hair appt's. =)
