Long Term TTC and Assisted Conception July/August 2012

Thanks juniper, unfortunately not the hormones are making me all sooky and cry, just part of the joys of it for me, but on the upside they haven't made me be quite as moody and snappy so DH is happy about that.

Andie - I had a hystroscopy done when I was younger for something different from this and I was always awake, not comfortable but it wasn't to bad.
I can say I wasn't upset when our visitors left pretty early, I felt bad cause normally I steal the baby for a cuddle and I just couldn't last night :-(

I went to FS today for another scan, uterus had not plumped up much more from wed so I have to go back for another scan tomorrow and if still hasn't improved she said she will give me a patch to help. She is also getting to do a progesterone blood test tomorrow which is new for this cycle.

Have a good weekend, thank you all for you support and advice while I have been a sooky mess xo

thanks juniper & kerbear. im sure it will be fine, just stress a little when I have to do something new!
kerbear - hope you're lining has thickened up for you tomorrow, sounds like your FS is monitoring everything well for your cycle. goodluck. xx

Hi ladies, I'm trying to catch up everyone here as its been a while. Congrats to the BFP's!
Andie - i had a Hysteroscopy in June & I just wanted to try to ease your worries a little. I went under & it was very similar to epu, the recovery time was a bit quicker. You will be ok : )
AFM we had a break for a few months (man that went by quick) and now we are ready to try again. I have my drugs and am just waiting for AF so I can start jabbing away. Ekkkkk a bit excited!

xox

Thanks Andie

Things didn't go to plan, lining has not changed so I am being put on patches, went to chemist to get them and they don't have them that high, they rang another couple and they don't either. Now back at FS and she is going to try and sort it. Can I fall in a heap now :-(( it has always been good but not this time.

bugger, kerbear. it's frustrating how sometimes there's no reason why things go so differently from cycle to cycle. hope you get those patches asap. worst case scenario you could do a freeze all cycle? I know it's not ideal, but there has been some info around lately suggesting that frozen transfers have equal/higher pregnancy rates. hopefully won't come to that & your lining starts to lift! ; )

jbear - thanks, best of luck with your upcoming cycle. : )

Hi Girls

Sorry I have been MIA. I have been keeping on the down low and trying not to think about TTC to give my brain a rest after the missed miscarriage.

Kerbear - Hoping that your lining thickens up and your able to get the patches.

Hi Andie, Juniper, N2L, MissB and everyone I have missed.

AFM - Still waiting for AF. I did have a BT yesterday to prove that I have not ovulated and to start provera, however the BT shows that I have ovulated. She thinks its about 7 days ago. Back tracking on BB I see that we did get a very faint +OPK last Thursday so I guess that was it. It was also there Friday morning but never eventuated to anything, so we figured nothing eventuated. My E2 is 300 and my Prog is 24. It wouldn't be left over from the miscarriage would it? I know it can take a while for hormones to sort themselves out. It will be 4 weeks on Monday since my D&C. Normally my cycles have been 33-34 days which would make it right.

So AF should show up by the end of this week and we are going into an FET. I have always done medicated FET's as I did stop ovulating on my own, however it looks like it may be back again. I am keen to try a natural FET and just let nature take its course. Having said that I am stressing as my BT's get sent to Adelaide overnight and last time I was having BT everyday to catch it. I also want another pipelle biopsy. I really felt that it implanted due to that and definately will be doing it again. Now I just have to time when CD7 would be??? Do you think they can tell by my BT what CD I am if my cycles are all over the place. Then comes the next drama of getting into my gp on that particular day *sigh*

So basically just waiting for AF. I have another FS appointment on the 30th. Not looking forward to that. Last time he said did I really want to progress since 5 cycles have not produced a viable pregnancy. Ugh! Still I think I will be able to go in guns blazing and to be honest its my body and my money and I should be the one to decide when I have had enough and ready to give up having a baby.

:goodluck: Saturday 18th August 2012 :goodluck:

kerbear, sorry to hear it's not going to plan. Did you manage to sort out the patches?

J.Bear, FX for your upcoming cycle. Let me know your details if/when you want to be added to the list.

vic, GL with the FET.

Afm, no sign of O here. My FS said on Thursday that I can't know for certain I haven't O'd, but with no temp rise, no +opk and no EWCM, I'm pretty darn sure! I keep telling myself the lap could have messed with the cycle and not to get hung up about it, but this makes 2 screwy cycles in a row (both with potential external causes) and I'm starting to freak out just a little. I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer and see what happens (or doesn't happen)... If I normally have a 30 day cycle lately, how long do you think I should wait before calling the FS to intervene if there's still no sign of O (or AF)?

Thanks ladies - Finally after about 6 chemist shops I got the patches, there is one about 20 mins from my house that stocks the odd stuff which mine is cause of the dose so I know where to go to now. I was going to the coast today so I figured I would stop at all the ones on the way :-)
Spent 2.5 hrs in traffic cause highway was completely closed off from an accident which was not fun.
Trigger has been done at 6pm, yay no more needles. 3 needles and one blood test on the last day of injections is more than enough for me I think....

Vic - Nice to see you back, you have been missed. Hope you break has helped give you the rest you needed.
I have to agree with your response to your fs comment. It's your money and your body and I think if you ever hit the point of having to accept you need to stop trying (i hope this never happens) it needs to be on your own terms and when you want to stop, yes they can advise but I think ultimately it is your decision.

Juniper - I am not much help for you, wish I could help but that's one thing so far my body manages to do on time :-)

Jbear - welcome back, exciting times starting again hope af arrives soon so you can get started.

Andie - yeah if it doesn't thicken up we will freeze if they make it that far. It was 7.5 today and she wants it to be more than 8 but it hadn't gone up much in last 2 days, crossing fingers. Maybe all these extra hurdles and medications might help it all work this time....that's the theory I am going with !!!!

Juniper - your cd 20 and in theory you would have ovulated 4 days ago, and since you dont think you have ask for a bt monday so at least you have some idea whats happening. They said to wait till cd40 for me, but I didnt wait for that. Waiting is hard enough. Turns out I ovulated with no real symptoms. You could be like me:)

Hi ladies-

Am on my phone- sorry for lack of persies.

Had my U/S on Friday- CD8.
Nothing to report yet- another U/S on Monday.....
Waiting, waiting :)
I'm feeling sad, I know this is my last embryo from this batch....
What am I doing wrong???

Hope everyone is well!

Just a quick message letting you know I'm CD1 today...

CD1 for me also ladies. Back to no coffee and lots of needles for me. I'm hoping 3rd times a charm. If this FET fails I think I might take a break for the rest of the year as its becoming very draining. I always though that with IVF we would end up pregnant really quickly but I am slowly learning that this is a marathon event.
