Re: Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014
Hi ladies, I'm Pholi. I'm new.
I've been stalking for a whole now, but I think it's time I introduced myself.
We're just getting started on AC for any number 2. We have DS who is 20 months, and was conceived by ICSI on the first cycle. We have MFI - my DP has an epidydimal cyst which gives him pretty low sperm count, so we knew that we were likely to need help this time too.
So I've seen my FS again, he's happy to go ahead and make us pregnant again. He's keen to do the Ovarian reserve blood tests to help determine drug doses, for which I need to be no longer BF.
So DS had his last feed last Wednesday, and is coping surprisingly well! It's one more week before I can get the tests done, three weeks for the results to come in and see the FS again to discuss results, and if the timing is right, I might be able to get a cd21 appt straight away and start an egg collection cycle then! But I'm cd24 today, on a 31 day cycle, give or take, so it's cutting it really fine, and we might have to wait a whole other month. :/
I'm really glad to be getting this process started, I've been feeling 'ready' to get pg since DS was 7 months, but we didn't start trying til he was 12 months. Then DP wanted to put off getting an FS appt cos he was worried about money, then it took 2 months to actually get the first appt... I feel very hopeful, since we conceived DS on the first go, but if course I'm that much older now, and there are no guarantees in this game.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all a little better.
