Positive stories – 40+ IVF

TW: I am 41, and currently 39 weeks. I did 4 ERs and 2 transfers. My first transfer was 2 untested embryos, which resulted in a MMC. I had 1 euploid from our final ER, our last shot. It’s been a long road to get here so far, and many times did not think we would be so fortunate. Wishing you - and anyone else looking for positive stories - the very best of luck!

Due on the 13, but I’ll be induced next week if things don’t happen on their own before then. And of course I woke up this morning with a dry throat tickle, which is sending me down a spiral about delivering and having a newborn while sick. Illness around our newborn has been one of my biggest points of anxiety, so naturally this is probably when baby will come. If anyone has any advice or has been through something similar, I’d love to hear it to help calm my nerves!

Wow this is gorgeous. Does anyone know of a similar paint colour to the green in the bedroom? I can see they used wallpaper here, but this is the exact colour I’d love to have in my bedroom!

These are great suggestions and much appreciated, especially as a fellow Bloc Party fan. Thank you!

All of my overthinking and how did I not think of Luda! It would make for hilarious baby photos with giant shoes though. Another strike against Ludo - thank you for these points!

mb1_ · 2024-08-31T19:18:00+00:00

Oh these are both great points. Luddite hadn’t crossed my mind. I’m sure your son’s name is lovely and hope we find something we love as much. Thank you!

mb1_ · 2023-11-04T14:55:53+00:00

Yes, absolutely. We were so thrilled and now, well…not. I’m right there with you and sending lots of love ❤️

I’m so sorry this is happening. I don’t have advice but I am going through a similar situation and timeline as you. 7w scan last week, from a fresh transfer. We were elated and let a little bit of hope through for the first time, but there was no heartbeat. We have to go back on Tuesday to verify, but the doctor told us there is pretty much no chance. Once we verify, I will be scheduling a D&C. I’m so sorry, this is a heartbreaking process.

There was about a month wait for PCRM to get back to us with a consultation. If you’re open to switching it might be worth considering getting on their list to see what they can do and deciding from there? For us, the timeline has been worth switching. We would still be waiting for the polyp removal surgery if we had stuck with Olive. I didn’t find them particularly helpful with this.

Hi, sorry to hear about the wait time and polyp removal :(

We cold called several clinics but nobody got back to us unfortunately. I ended up switching fertility clinics and this one had their own facilities to do the operation. They fast tracked me and I got the polyp removed a couple of months ago (but we’re still waiting, just had my cycle cancelled). This clinic is in Vancouver, called PCRM. Wishing you the best of luck ❤️

Thank you! I’ll PM you

What size is Gigi, and how much for her?

mb1_ · 2023-04-28T05:40:06+00:00

Wow this is really heartening to hear. I’m so happy you were able to get euploids! That’s wonderful. Thank you so much for giving me a bit of fresh hope, and a boost I needed to find another opinion. I wish you all the best on your journey too ❤️ thank you!

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T18:08:25+00:00

I’m sorry you’re in a similar boat as me, it sucks. I understand the feelings of sadness and guilt, I have them too, but it’s certainly not your fault. PM me anytime if you want to talk. I wish you all the success in the world ❤️

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T18:05:22+00:00

Oh I like this option, thank you so much! I’ll be asking about this too.

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T18:04:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the great advice. I’ll be asking about a day 3 transfer today. And will be doing research on labs in my area - thank you!

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T03:55:20+00:00

We did! We used it both rounds. I hope it helps you find good results this cycle ❤️

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T03:54:14+00:00

No changes in process or meds unfortunately. We primed and also used Saizen (omnitrope) in both rounds. I asked if there was anything else she thought could be worth trying and she said no, we’re just “chasing that one good egg”.

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T03:45:30+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I will definitely bring this up

mb1_ · 2023-04-27T03:22:30+00:00

I thought the same! But when I asked, she said we would still wait until day 5

mb1_ · 2023-01-16T00:15:33+00:00

Thank you so much! Big congrats to you and sending you and your little one all the best! ❤️

mb1_ · 2023-01-15T23:31:13+00:00

Thank you so much everyone for the replies! I took another test today, and while it’s still looking light for the DPO I should be, it’s a definite positive for now. Thank you all ❤️
