IVFers over 40 for March/April??

[Hopefulcb]

I'm having IVF starting at the end of March.  This is my first one so I'm really nervous and would love to share this journey with someone!!

oh love .. I agree with Mel but I know how hard it is to stay positive all the time when your body is full of hormones! I hope that one of those little ones is as strong as an ox and will be checking in regularly to see your progress.

Hang in there! its not always quantity but quaility that counts and only takes that ONE good egg, so try be positive. wishing you all the baby dust I can and  do pray this is YOUR time lots love melissax

We only had 3 fertilize and I am so disappointed.  I do not mean to be so ungateful- but I was really thinking my 24 year old donor would do better- I was not looking for 30- but I thought we would get 10 since we had 14 follicles.  Got 8, 6 were good- 3 fertilized.  Yesterday the Embryologist thought we might get lucky and get a couple more to fertilize- but that just does not sound likely to me.  I do not think I will have anything to freeze- so this is probably it for me if it does not work.  The last few days have shown me I am not as strong as a woman needs to be to do this!  I feel like my faith was tested and I have crumbled.  I am just not myself right now.

My transfer is tomorrow- Mother's Day in the States (I know some of you are on the other side of the pond- or pacific!)  Don't know whether to take it as a sign- or as bitter irony.

I am trying to get myself back to my optimistic and happy self- but it seems impossible- hormones are really effecting me!  I can't write anything without crying.

Thanks for the support.  Love and baby dust all.  

Hopeful- I am praying this is our time!  Bring on May 17th!
