Well hi all, feeling a little , I dont know blah after meeting new FS today. He was very concerned about my weight and has put me on a lets say diet. Carbs til lunch time then none after lunch and an hour of walking after finishing eating for the day, no sugar whatsoever. He has put me on a drug called reductil which cost over $200. He also talked about metabolic syndromes and metaformin and that I am going to die young and We have to have another month of because of the rubella needle and to top it all off we have sperm issues too. We always had them just the other clinic didn't pick up on them so the 4 cycles of OI were a waste of time. Sorry for the vent I am feeling a little overwhelmed and very teary at the moment. Sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it. Sorry in a very down place at the moment, will come back when I feel a little better.
it's all worth it in the end saph. I too am overweight however my fs is yet to mention it yet!!! I'm waiting for it though!!! I think of it this way. I'm overweight now, imagine how big and uncomfortable I'll be pregnant and carrying around all that extra weight! It would be nicer to shed a few kilo's before the strain on your body. Keep your chin up. Feel free to chat to me anytime about weight venting etc!
Toby - thanks for your thoughts. I don't think 15%-20% is too bad because they say with IUI you only have about a 30% chance still so all the odds are pretty low for conceiving anyway I feel. Its a pretty big jump from 2% to 20% so I wouldnt be too concerned. You'll get there.
Saph - sorry to hear about your troubles with your specialist etc. At least I suppose you know about the sperm troubles now so you can work on those and you have some other things you can try that will probably boost your chances of conceiving. Thinking of you.
Thinking of you.
