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!!

What was your medication protocol this time around?  Hoping all goes well for the transfer.

My RE would put in all 3...actually if all 5 were viable on day three, he would put them all in...I am 43. The chances of multiples in our age group are very very low but you have to go with your gut and  your RE advice...Considering that it is day 3 instead of day 5, I would put them all in if they are of good enough grades to transfer.

Hi,

I had my retrieval yesterday. 5 eggs. They called today and said that 3 are starting to divide. I will have the transfer on day 3 - Thursday if all goes well! Pray for me!! Should I have 3 eggs transfered or two?? BTW I am 42 and ttc for 14 years
thx

Hope- So happy for you!  So happy your little eggs fertilized- praying for them to grow and stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for me- Donor triggered today.  I am right behind Hopeful!  I start POI tomorrow.  Retrieval Thursday.  I am full of hope and anxiety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mountains, blizzards of baby dust to you all!

Had egg retrieval today and they got 2 eggs. I'm really hoping they both fetilize and make it to transfer! This is my 2nd IVF and I'm a low responder to stims it seems (last one I only had 4 eggs and none fertilized). I've never taken growth hormone so not sure what that's all about. Perhaps someone else can help you with that.

How did your us go?  I spoke with my RE and another one and they both suggested similar protocol with estrogen priming. And one suggested growth hormone. Has anyone had that? Omnitrope or something like that? I asked about mini-IVF and I guess one doc said that it works best when the ovaries are resistant or something I forget now but at the time I thought maybe not for me this time. I am following up with the financial aspects especially because meds will be more now and then I will decide if I stay with old RE or go to new one. Mainly its cost. They are both very good.

Good luck everyone
