Hope your ok hun, is that what your dr has said ? Are you doing ivf at the moment or trying to conceive naturally?

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Ivf2020A]

I was trying naturally, saving up for ivfDid you become pregnant

[Ivf2020A in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Ahh ok I did get pregnant twice both ended in miscarriages unfortunately, currently doing IVF. I dont have any experience in the peri menopausal stage hopefully one of these lovely ladies can help x

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Ivf2020A]

I am sorry to hear about that

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Ivf2020A]

How old are I am 44 with pcos and a submucoid fibroid. My periods are long heavy and painful I endure all of this with the hope of my baby !!! I Want now someday is hard

[Ivf2020A in reply to Bluelady-sing]

That must be so hard for you, one day you will hopefully. Are you near your goal of saving for the treatment?

I initially was told that I was peri menopausal as my oestrogen levels were the lowest my consultant has ever seen.After various laparoscopies and 2.5 yrs on HRT I’m delighted to say that with my first round of IVF I’m 7+2 and had my first scan yesterday and all looks good so far!

Best of luck, I never thought I’d even produce eggs let alone it actually working! Am just praying this little peanut stays in place!

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

Really how old are you? I guess HRT is the same as hormone medication

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

I’m 40 next year and been on femoston 2/10g!

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

I am 44 next month, what is this medication how is taken

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

I was prescribed it by my consultant. It’s pretty much like taking the pill, you have 2 weeks of progesterone and then 2 weeks of oestrogen (obvs more to it but in a nutshell!) it encouraged my uterus to grow as it had shrivelled up and helped my periods to start

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

Any side effects?

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Bluelady-sing]

I still have periods

[Lilly12255 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Are you sure you are peri menopausal? I assumed I was as I have hot flushes in the night and the length of my cycle varies but my doc said I am not.

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Lilly12255]

My periods are irregular I have pcos

[Lilly12255 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

When you say irregular, do you mean that your cYcle length varies or do you mean that you sometimes miss a period?

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Lilly12255]

This month shorter 4 days earlier

[Lilly12255 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Well, you are not in peri menopause. Sounds like you made the same mistake as me. The definition of peri menopause is when you miss several periods. Then it can be ascertained by certain blood tests (ostradiol). They are plenty of people who have pcos and irregular periods and conceive.

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Lilly12255]

Thanks hun...

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Lilly12255]

I hadn’t had a period for about 6 years, mostly due to the contraception I was on and then it never came back when I came off it, hence the perimenopausal chat and HRT for 2.5yrs.

[leo1980 in reply to Lilly12255]

Hi! What was the explanation for change in length of cycle and the hot flushes? My cycle was 28 days now it’s 24! For the last 3 months. Hair is falling and I feel hot all the time!

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

None to be honest!

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

So glad your pregnant seems so basic and yet complex. One question do people come up to you

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Hey! The end of your question seems to have been cut off, what were you going to ask me? X

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

Was any side effects to the treatments you had to undertake

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Just a bit grumpy and tired with the IVF treatment but nothing else. Think my body was so used to being pumped full of hormones after the last few years that it had just accepted what was happening 😂

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

Do you metformin might work

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

When pregnant did people keep questioning you

[PollyWolly81 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Nobody really knows yet. Leaving it until Christmas to see how I get on as still early stages at 8 weeks...

[Bluelady-sing in reply to PollyWolly81]

I will keep your secret!! Congrats I can not wait myself

[EasterChick]

Yes & yes. I was 48 when I started treatment and 49 when I had a successful round (3rd DE round) currently cuddling my absolutely perfect 6m old daughter who arrived a few weeks before I turned 50. Breastfed for 6m, just stoped, and expecting to head back into menopause... worth every bit of anguish along the way... I recommend DE to any older woman. I swear if I were to have another child with my own eggs I wouldn’t love it differently to the one in my arms right now. It’s amazing - she looks like me & she loves me like I’ve never been loved - good luck ladies xxxx

[Bluelady-sing in reply to EasterChick]
