Long Term TTC and Assisted Conception July/August 2012

[juniper76]

N2L, FX you don't have too much longer to wait.

Emma, hopefully you don't have to wait too long.

Mrs Mac, it's possible to get a +opk and not O, which is why they recommend temping to confirm the O. But it's also possible to O without feeling it, even if you normally do get O pain. Want me to put you on the list as O on Monday?

[Mrs Mac]

Yes please juniper, I guess I will just have to take my chances and hope I ovulated.

Emma, sorry to hear that. Sucks big time.

[nothing2lose]

Sorry again Emma

Got AF a few hours ago. So I guess I am cd 1-ish.

[Emma09]

Has anybody had a miscarriage/chemical pg at this stage? (4 weeks, 5 days)
Will it just be like a period?

Yep. Just like a period. It just means the embryo started to implant but stopped, so technically it would be the same size as when it was transferred into you. Your period may be heavier than normal though due to the progesterone pessaries.

[juniper76]

Emma, mine was a week later (5w4d) and the first few hours were very, very painful until I passed what had grown. After that it was actually lighter and less painful than my normal AF (but I hadn't used progesterone supplements) and the bleeding lasted a day or two longer than normal.

[me4ever]

Emma - I'm sooo sorry.. Big hugs for you!

[Miss.B]

Emma, I'm sorry sweetie . Sending you the biggest hug xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Andie78]

emma - sorry to hear your news, take care.

[Larry]

Great number, Larry! Congrats! Any chance you're cooking 2 in there?

Thank God only 1 embryo was transferred or I'd be getting worried!

Is this level very high? I hope it's just a very strong baby!!

Good wishes to everyone
Larry

[juniper76]

Larry, it's above average, but not excessively so. Could either mean twins or a just a nice strong singleton. You can never tell until the u/s. Either way, it's an excellent number.

So sorry Emma again.

Hi to everyone else.

I was in Adelaide yesterday and dropped into my FS clinic to pick up paperwork for my next FET. They said if no AF by CD40 to call them and they will bring on my AF. I can tell you I wont be waiting that long. If I have not got a positive OPK by CD30 then I will be calling them. I also spoke to her about switching FS to another one at the same clinic, and the lovely nurse said it was no problem. So I have made an appointment with the new one for the 12th of September. I will be close to doing transfer by then so it will give him a couple of weeks to come up with something new, should we need to do another stim. I also asked about Elonva and she said they are just about to start using it. So I was happy to hear that. The nurse said that the research on Elonva was coming in very positive and they have heard of good results. They have ordered it and are about to start using it. I still have my appointment with my old FS sometime this month, but not too sure if I will keep it. He is coming over so I dont have to fly to see him so may keep it just to see what he says. So in my down time I will concentrate on trying to lose weight and taking care of myself.

[juniper76]

Sounds like you had a successful visit yesterday, Vic. FX you get that +opk soon.

[nothing2lose]

Hi all

It's a bit quiet in here! I don't think we have anyone actually cycling at the moment

Maybe we should add a note when everyone is starting, what they are doing, etc on the list??

It sounds like your appointment was promising Vic. I'm glad you dont have to wait too long to forge ahead. I mentioned the elonva to my new FS a couple of weeks ago and he sounded positive about it. He mentioned he was off to a conference to learn more so I will ask him again when I next see him.

AFM - plodding along. Back on the weightloss bandwagon *sigh*. I want to lose 10kgs (at least) before December's stim. We'll see how we go. I have started on my extra supplements - DHEA and melatonin. OMG, I have not slept so well in ages! Harder to get up though Luckily the extra coQ10 gives me more energy during the day. It's like I am on the Natural Elvis regime - pills to sleep, pills for energy
I cant remember if I posted about my NK cell biopsy result. They came back at a level of 16, "high" according to the FS. I think they are meant to be between 4-6 (so, I guess 5 :P). My FS wants to do the colorado protocol when I stim. More drugs into my poor body! More money out of my poor pocket!
He sent me a package of info in the mail which arrived yesterday. I have to have my E2, AMH and FSH tested today and then again in a couple of month's time (after I have been on the supplements for a while). It will be interesting to see if they make a difference at all. Then in two months I start the stem cell therapy. At $2k, it better make a difference

I really am throwing everything at this next stim. I am a little worried it's all too much and it might backfire. I guess i just have to trust the FS. Hard though as he is new to me. But what else can I do?!

Anyway, hello to everyone else. Hope you are all well. Let us all know exactly what you are up to! Hopefully I will be able to remember
