Over 40- 3 IUI's and 1 IVF
September 29, 2008
I like many started later in life not thinking I would run into this problem of infertility. I have been very healthy all my life and don't feel 'old'...but my eggs seem to say otherwise. My husband and I started trying one year ago and as of March..nothing. I promptly started testing to get myself into a very well recommended clinic here in the city. All blood levels read normal- immume system too- my husband- better then good- my tubes-clear- FSH 8.9.
First IUI-natural, second on clomid, third on Puregon with 9 eggs....nothing
I took two months off to focus on feeling better. After the drugs I had little engery and it was thought I might have a thyroid problem. I worked with CM- herbs and acupuncture as it was found the during my sperm/mucus test the sperm didn't live/swim through the mucus..not a good sign. Then off to work with a naturopath who focused on detox, thryoid and getting my body at a less acidic state.
So off for IVF..right now I am on the second week of 2 weeks after transfer. I had 13 eggs taken with only 6 mature....and only two fert. but were grade 2- 8 cells after 3 days...it only takes one!
So here I sit and wait....wondering if the cold I got the day after my transfer has ended this b 4 it started! Any one else waiting!!!

I did on Saturday morning (8 days past transfer) and the line was SO faint that I thought I was imagining it then I was off to the mall with friends and every other person either had a baby or was pregnant - it was so difficult b/c I convinced myself that mine was negative. Now, I am not sure what to think but I promised my husband I would wait until tomorrow.
Good Luck Sandra!!
Good Luck Sandra!!
My advice is to wait until then or atleast the night before. Taking the test on Saturday ruined my entire day. Then, I talked to my friend yesterday who is pregnant with her 2nd baby and she said she had negative tests and barely there positive tests with her first. It was so discouraging for me - she is convinced that I am pregnant or else there would have been no line at all. But is it possible that is from the shot? So, instead of agonizing I will wait until tomorrow.
Friday must seem so far away - stay calm and think positive!!!
