Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception July/August 2013

[Bestrong]

Juniper, thank you so much!

Jasmine, I am sorry to hear that, I never tried clomid, I don't know how I respond for it. Hope your FS change to do this way can really help you.

Glorious, that is great! Well done.

Miss.B, it is very good you have grade A embryo, you will have a good chance to have BFP for your next FET cycle. I wish I can have grade A embryo too, did you take any DHEA and Melatonin? I just have the prescription for DHEA, I am going to buy it tomorrow. I am a little bit hesitating to take it. The other doctor I have been asked for second opinion, he recommended to take Melatonin for two months and he said after you stop it, your body will generate melatonin by yourself. I feel a little bit lost I don't know how to improve my egg quality.

Glorious, great news! To share a pic, I think you need to upload it to a photo sharing website and then post a link. I know you can't embed the image in your forum post (against the rules for these forums).

I posted a picture of my embryo once in my photo album on BB

if you go to my profile, you can "add an album"... Should be ok to post there I assume...

Hey ladies quick question why do a lot of you do acupuncture? Just what a bit of info if anyone wants to share please?

[Miss.B]

Jasmine, I 'm sorry to hear that the clomid did nothing...must be so disappointing hun I hope the FSH cycle does the job, FX!

Be strong, thanks hun. I have been taking the CoQ10 tablets for about 8 months now, I don't know if that did anything good for my egg quality but one thing that was good that came of it was that my AMH level went from 3.8 to almost 8. And I never had a grage A embryo before, with my first 3 BFPs I had a grade B embryo put in and my last BFN cycle I had a grade D put in, that didn't take. So maybe look into the CoQ10 tablets?

Kate, I tried acupuncture with my last BFN cycle, I did it for 3 or 4 months. I did get 9 eggies (previously I had 13 eggs which was 4 years ago, and then I kept getting about 3 or 4). So although I got more eggs, it seems that all 9 weren't that great. However, I have heard fantastic stories about BFPs with acupuncture. I think you should give it a go..

Glorious, congrats on being PUPO and GL with your 2WW hun

AFM, I am freaking out about the cost of the progesterone pessaries.... I am told that I need 2 x 400mg from around the time of transfer and then if I get a BFP I will need to take them till around 12 weeks. I think I will go broke! I called Priceline and they are charging around $3.99 per pessary? That's so expensive!!

[Mrs O'M]

Sorry to hear you didn't get the result you wanted jasmine. Boo!

Congrats glorious, fx for a quick tww for you!

Thanks juniper, I am hoping we will make some progress before my ovaries completely shut down on me.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

[Bestrong]

Thank you Miss.B, I am taking CoQ10 150mg per day and I can't remember how long I have been taking it. Maybe I have to take 600mg daily, how many do you take daily? Could I ask what it is AMH level?

[Bunnyfeet]

Katewithquestions Ive been having acupunture last 4 months. Our last round we only had 2 viable embyros out of 15 :mad: this round we had 18 mature out of 20. So we have 11 frosties and yet to see if ET worked for others. So not sure if it was the acupunture or not that helped but it cant do any harm. I also took 150mg Q10 twice a day (seemingly its important to split dose) and went gluten free. So we'll see if it all has worked. We're hoping we have a good un somewhere in this batch!

[Bestrong]

Thank you Emma

Hey ladies quick question why do a lot of you do acupuncture? Just what a bit of info if anyone wants to share please?

I did the acu trial with my clinic last year (just to try something extra... Plus I believe in being involved in research - 1 its free! 2 it helps learn stuff ) anyway.... It was the only cycle i have done where I got a BFP. I ended up finding out it was a missed mc at 8 weeks (had it grown past 6), but it gave me some hope. I did one cycle without it in December, and then decided to give it a go. Private health gives me some rebate.. Not much, but better than nothing. It Ii so helpful to have the time just to zone out each week, and not think, but just relax... I do a guided meditation at the same time... I also started seeing a naturopath this year... I really think both these things helped with the better egg haul I got this time (along with increased meds!) plus something tried to stick this time... And again... I had acu... I have only had the little blobs try and stick when I had had acu... So... I am going to continue doing it.

[juniper76]

KateWQ, I started acu after our 3rd IVF was another BFN. I had never been pg at the time and was desperate to try anything that might help. The acu recommended doing 4 months of treatments before our next IVF, to maximise egg quality. The second cycle of acu, we got a natural BFP - our first ever BFP! Unfortunately, it ended in m/c, but it seemed like a miracle after so many BFN treatment cycles (6 IUI, 3 IVF & 1 FET) with our FS. I continued acu through our next 2 IVFs and then throughout my pg with DD (and I had a very easy pg, in spite of being higher risk for complications due to my weight and medical history). When we started TTC#2, I started back at acu and once again we got a natural BFP in my second cycle of acu (and again it was a m/c). We have been TTC for 5.5 years all up and we've only had those 3 BFPs, so we've never managed to get a BFP in a cycle without acupuncture!

[myturn]

Cd1 for me.

Was hard not to get my hopes up when she was so much later than usual this month. Sigh.

[Jasmine00]

MyTurn- Great big hugs honey. The witch arriving late was just cruel Xx

Bunny- Will be stalking for news from you today. What time are you expecting to get your BT results back? Xx

Glorious- Yay for being PUPO!! GL in the TWW Xx

[Beau30]

Sorry Myturn - that it so cruel coming late. Are you going to do fet cycle this month or are you still waiting to lose more weight?

Glorious - welcome to tww. We can go insane together.

Bunnyfeet -gl today

Jasmine - how are you feeling today?

Afm - 2nd shot of pregnyl this morning. I have decided not to give coffee up completely this cycle - didn't work last time so just having a decaf a day. What do the rest of you do in tww? Anything you do or don't do?

[Beau30]

Is there anyway to stop double posts?

[myturn]

Thanks girls.

Yeah I will do a FET. Should try to lose weight more, but can't keep putting it off either. I am getting old. List about 2kg this month - better than nothing. Maybe I can lose one more before transfer.

Dibt know about the double posts you are not the only one though. It's frustrating!! I use safari on my phone all the time. But it doesn't double post. How are you accessing BB when it double posts?
