Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014
Hi guys,
So so sorry I haven't been in here to support everyone - I feel selfish and guilty, you have all been so wonderful and caring towards me.... I apologize I cant do persies, I have HG and have been soooooo sick, vomiting about 15 times per day and I had the whole of last week in bed No uni, no work, not even able to look after any of my children it's just been evil.
My scan went well. One very healthy bubba with a beautiful, strong HB
WW I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I wish I had have seen your message earlier, but this is the first time I've felt well enough to pick up my iPad so I haven't even been stalking... All my thoughts are with you. I can only imagine how devastated you must feel.. I am here as well if you need anything or just want to talk I wish I could say something, anything else - that might take away some of your pain... I so hope that the future brings happier news for you. In the meantime, try and hang in there.... Time does eventually heal....
1 more please, I have a friend who has lost 20kgs in the last 11 weeks! She has done it without shakes, eating a high protein diet with only lean fish, chicken and a small amount of red meat with steamed green veggies for every meal! And she has been exercising daily - a walk, or a class at the gym etc... No sugar, carbs, pasta, bread or rice and I think she is off the caffeine and also fruit (sugar) as well. I think 10 kgs is achievable - if you radically alter your diet and introduce some moderate exercise, I think it's 80per cent diet and 20 per net physical activity. Good luck - I'm sure you can do it!
Everyone else I will be back... miss B and juniper I have been thinking of you endlessly.... And sarah4kurt I am so glad you are okay.... Sorry everyone else, I will be back. Positively - how are you? I have been thinking if you a lot as well (I promise I will respond to your email today or tomorrow) xx
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014
Hi Lovely Ladies, Happy Monday to you all!
WW - I am so very very sorry hun, sending big virtual hugs your way as you undertake this very difficult journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love & Light to you and DH. I am still not over my miscarriage which was back in March 2011 I still have moments where I reflect and think about the what if's etc but time has healed it somewhat which I am grateful for. I wish you well x
Emma - GL with the PGD cycle hope you get some exciting news real soon. As for the C0 Q10 Ubiquinol I take a brand called Metagenics and I am also only taking 150mg as per my Naturopath it's supposed to be a higher potency so perhaps that is why some of us are taking different dosages. GL with it all hope it works for us!
Joski - Hope you get some answers from your FS, all the best
1more - I don't have any advice re weight loss but I have heard 1 kilo a week is good so you seem to be on track. As one of the Ladies said exercise will also help you don't need to join a gym just walk the dog everyday, cheap and easy to do and the pup is happy too GL I am holding all my fingers and toes for you! Oh yes and I am with Juniper on the medicare changes when they change something like that it is never introduced overnight they usually give plenty of warning so I think we will all have the rest of this year before changes....that's if there are any, fingers crossed not!
Sarah - welcome back...so good to see you again and so happy to hear you are back in a good place
Miss B - I have the same issue you do re my DH not being happy with our FS and I can see why but then we have only been seeing ours for a year now so I am going to have one more round of IVF with him and then decide what's next for us if we don't see some results
TTL - So very happy for you and the news there is only one bub on it's way, well done
I am sorry I am not coming on often as I said i am trying to take a step back and not be so obsessed...so far so good
Love & Light to you all, GL and loads of baby dust too xx
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014
Thanks 1 more please :-).
Puppy is good, getting bigger!
Yeah too right about naughty! Lol, I thought at first ebony would be good at toilet training because I was doing good at getting her out onto the grass. Alas she's regressed now even when she's been in the yard all day the first thing she does inside is run to carpet to pee! Don't know how to tackle it but that's another thread lol.
How's yours?
WW just want to give you a big hug, there are no words.

Great news, 1moreplease! Really happy for you.
Thanks Sarah sweetie, that is really lovely.
Thanks Positively.
TTL, thanks and best of luck.
Also, I think maybe Emma you were asking about CoQ10. As Juniper and N2L said, the research studies used 600mg dose and I would take that dose, if you can. But as for me, I cannot do those kind of doses. I think that perhaps I may get adrenal fatigue or something from too many supplements and also sleep issues from all anti-oxidants, like omega 3s, vitamin e and in particular Coq10. I could take it at 4 in the morning, I am jazzed for that day. Maca is the same. So, if you are sensitive, I wouldn't worry, just try to take the highest dose you can without compromising your rest and relaxation levels. I don't know. I just wanted to put that out there. Sometimes there is pressure to do everything perfectly according to the studies, like TCM and acupuncture and for me, anyway, it creates stress, sometimes outweighing the benefit ... I think. Who knows??
AFM, it is a very sad time still. Tired and really flat from all the blood loss and cramps. Feel like endo is worse, which is upsetting because I only had the lap in Feb. Starting to feel really sad about the twins and thinking about twins a lot. Getting chromosomal test results next week, I hope. The FS and the obstetrician we were seeing ... they are just so ... male!! Just really clinical and just clearly not emotionally with us at all. Which is fine. Good doctors are usually not great emotionally, and we just want the science ... but you know. A bit isolated too because DD is sick with common cold. It is actually good though because I am not ready to see anyone. I just wanted to know, and I should maybe PM you Juniper because our scenarios are crazily similar, but how do you keep trying? I want to, but I feel so stressed when TTC. Right now, I am actually happy that I have no idea what is happening in the body, no idea when O time will happen and am still being granted the "gentle" treatment by friends and family. The idea of facing another ovulation or failed cycle, natural or jesus IVF (feel sick typing that) ... it is too much right now.
All I can think about are obstacles: overall I have been trying to have kids for nearly 8 years including 6 months clomid, 3 IUIs and many IVF stim cycles, with maybe 5 transfers overall (we had a cancelled cycle or two in there), severe endo, AMH is 1.3 (that was a year ago!), now adenomyosis too, male factor, now miscarriage ..... It ain't lookin' good. We have had 2 natural conceptions during that time, and one is a healthy (and loud) 3 year old. So in spite of everything, we have this incredible luck in a way. It is weird.
Anyone have any views on PGD? We have some embryos frozen (but these are from my ovary with the endo encasing it so perhaps they are already ... not good).
Sorry for the rant guys.
Wishing everyone, including me, a bit of peace and acceptance of things as they are for right now (and new energy coming too, ie babies!).
Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014
WW, hugs to you, hun. Please do PM me if you want to. xx
Not everyone is ready to TTC again straight away and it sounds to me like you're not ready if it's stressing you out so badly. I've had friends who needed to wait 6 or even 12 months before they were ready, so don't feel like you have to start right this moment... I'm sorry to hear you're getting endo symptoms. After only 3 months since your lap, it's possibly not from the endo, but hard to know for sure. I had a return of my AF pain after my d&c and my OB said it was possible the d&c was the cause of that. I don't really understand why it happened, but, for me, it got worse over time, not better (the OB said it should get better after a few months), so I went to my FS for a new lap after 6 months and it was only after that 2nd lap (only minimal endo removed) that my AFs went back to pain-free for a while. I'm now trying to work out how soon I should go for lap #3 because the pain is getting worse again... It wouldn't hurt to ask your Dr about it when you speak to them about the test results (that's pretty much exactly what I did).
