dustyboots, hi and welcome! GL with the rest of your 2ww.
Beau, FX for great news in a week or so!
Miss.B, naughty girl sneaking ciggies!! Seriously though, if you quit now you should be proud of quitting rather than beating yourself up over delaying. How many women quit after they are pg (or don't quit at all)? You're still a step ahead of all of those. It's not like quitting is easy... I'm glad you feel more comfortable about the protocol for your next cycle. FX it works as well as it did for the cycle that gave you your little man.
Bunnyfeet, a cavoodle - how gorgeous! We used to have a cavalier and would love another. How was your first day at the new job?
babycakes, sorry to hear AF arrived. Hope your appt goes well!
Afm, CD17 and still no +opk. No idea why it's suddenly late. My cycles used to be regular as clockwork and now they're all over the place... *sigh*
I think im out back pain still low temp and feeling very tired 8DPO normally my temps don't drop this early though Not that I should be surprised it was only a clinging to strings trial of the pre seed going to try again next month just once more
Good luck everyone else. Question on egg quality is there anything I can do to start improving my egg quality we are looking to hopefully have saved enough to do a round by the end of the year.
Dustyboots we were advised by fs to take Co enzyme Q10 150mg twice a day, vit E, zinc, fish oil, vit B complex. Prescription meds they recommend (check with your fs first) melatonin, dhea and growth hormone
Juniper - this cycle of mine (natural) has been my longest ever maybe something is in the air & we will get our long time coming Bfps.
Welcome dustyboots - hope you are wrong about af coming.
Bunnyfeet - boo to your lining still being too thick - hopefully by Monday it will have shed.
Afm - feeling a lot stronger and happier today. Off for a facial now then catching up with a friend who is is Perth for few days. The sun is shining & it's a beautiful winters day here with temp of 25. Hope you all have lovely weekends. Thinking & praying for each & everyone of you beautiful ladies. Xx
dustyboots, ditto the CoQ10. You can take up to 600mg per day (but it ends up being very expensive). It's best to take it in the morning because it increases energy levels and can interfere with sleep. There's another form of CoQ10 called ubiquinol which is supposed to be more efficiently absorbed, but it's less readily available. I know some of the ladies on this site buy it online because it is supposed to work better and I think you don't need as high a dose (?). And if you want to look into the prescription options mentioned by Bunnyfeet, be sure to discuss the s/e with your FS as all of those come with strings attached (although the main problem with the growth hormone is price - about $2k per cycle)...
So looks like due to being interstate etc when EPU and et would be in September we are now starting mid-end October when af shows. The dr advices due to my history ivf is the best place to start which is fine with me, no wasting money on iui if it won't work. Good news is dh sperm is completely normal which is a relief now just to wait!! Oh the fun!!
rai, I was taking 600mg for about 6 months and have since cut back to 300mg to save some money. I have gotten a BFP when taking only 150mg, so I figure every bit helps. If you want to take an extra one, go for it... I was taking the blackmores one (4x 150mg) when I was taking 600mg. Now I take one blackmores and one of the one my acu sells (which also has vitamin E and alpha lipoic acid in it), each of which is 150mg (hence 300mg total). I've been toying with the idea of taking it up to 450mg (2 of the blackmores plus one from my acu) but don't think I'll go back to 600mg unless we decide to go ahead with an IVF (and then I'd do it for 4 months before to prepare). Did that make sense or are you now as confused as me?
Juniper, hehehe I know...I have stayed away from the nightly ciggy last night and tonight, really didn't bother me at all, will keep going and stay good. About the CoQ10 and taking them at night....no wonder I have been a total night owl for the past few months!! I've been taking 300 mg in the morning and again at night, might have to do a morning and lunchtime dose instead.
Babycakes, yay for hubby's swimmers being good! And I will have everything crossed for you for your cycle in October/November.
Beau, enjoy the time with your friend Sounds lovely for a winter's day at 25 degrees!!! I wish! Bit chilly and miserable down here in lovely (not) Melbourne lol.
Hello to everyone else!
It looks like AF is almost here, bit of brown spotting today and CD28 tomorrow so it looks like we are still on track.
PS Has anyone sent me a FB friend request? I received one but don't recognise the name....
Dustyboots...I've started taking dhea 75mg & 600mg coq10 to try to improve egg quality as well as metformin for my pcos & general preg multivit. I'm certainly hoping it is going to help as this will be my last chance.
quick question i'm going on holidays and have stopped taking metformin and elevit and only just started CoQ10 after stopping it 3 weeks ago, so all i'm taking at the
moment is thyroxine and CoQ10 and a diet tablet the dr gave me. I'm not ttc until after I get back around the 20th sep. So should I still be taking metformin and elevit
to keep in my system or just start when i'm going to ttc again?
Rai I would definitely continue to take them. I only stopped taking metformin after the first trimester with DD & began again straight after birth. The elevit is to keep your folate/iodine levels up. Happy holidays
WEll I don't think im out of the running just yet my temp has peaked yesterday it jumped from 36.4 the day before to 37.2 yesterday and 37.1 today fingers crossed I cheated and did a poas this morning BNF but prob still too early is it possible to have an implantation dip for more than a day?
Baby cakes GL with your app it can always be a daunting thing
Morning everyone!
FINALLY my lining behaves! It's good to go for my FET so I start meds today Juniper can you put me down as CD5 waiting to transfer please? Back on the Prednisone today have just taken it, I hate it. Does anyone else get bad side effects from it?
