Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - June #1

[Bel]

Hi All my friends...

Well I'm back in this thread I'm sorry to say after a BFN 2 weeks ago. Have just spent some time getting my head around everything before I jumped in and joined you all again. I have been keeping up to date with what's happening in here and reading daily.

After yet another disappointing result and on advice from the nurses at our clinic, DH and I saw a new FS the day after we got our BFN. To say we are happy with him and the advice he offered us is an understatement. He sat and listened to all our concerns and agreed with us that there is a lot more that can be done to help us TTC. I basically explained to him that we just cannot keep getting our hearts broken time and time again and we wanted to do all we could to fall pg as soon as possible. DH had been asking me for months to get a second opinion and I wish I had have done this months ago and maybe my precious little embies would have had more of a chance....can't dwell on the past though, I thought I was doing the right thing.

So, on Monday, I'm off to have a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and curettage. He thinks possibly I have endo and also perhaps some scarring and damage from my ruptured ectopic. Has put DH on menevit, taken me off metformin, is going to do a whole heap of blood tests and will be doing my ET's under ultrasound so he can see exactly where the little embie is going.

Am very excited to be moving forward but on the other hand am petrified that he will find something really wrong with me. He did explain though that if it was adhesions or even endo, once it is all cleaned up, TTC will be much easier. So although no-one wants anything to be wrong with them, at least these things are fixable.

So here I am like you all playing the waiting game again. My heart is healing again too but I'm praying a good clean out is what I need to help things happen!!

Sorry for no personals today...have to get moving. Just woke up feeling like I could join you all again and wanted to write before I chickened out again!!

Hope you all have a great day

Hugs Bel

Hi..
I have popped in to say hello as I have just recently been referred to a FS for DH and I as he has motility issues...I've been over in the TTC 6-12th thread but felt that it was time to move.. We have been TTC for 14 months offically but ceased BCP in Jan 2007... Our first appointment is on the 14 July with Dr Isherwood of Monash IVF Gold Coast.. Has anyone had any experience with this Dr or Monash here??? I'm finally excited again about TTC.. I was excited when we first started trying but about 6 months into it I started to get despondant and also felt that something wasn't right.. I even went to a Monash IVF info night 8 months ago and had a very strong feeling I would end up taking that path.. It still took another 8 months for me to accept this and start the testing process though... As I said DH has motility issues but all my BT's came back normal so i'm hoping that is our only hurdle... Bring on our appointment I can't wait to get started..

Question Girls :
Wondering if I was to BD with these 20 eggs is that just a major no no like how many eggs could actually fertilise?

Hi Girls,

Sorry no personals today, been a heck of a weekend for my family. Some of you may remember that my younger sister is pregnant and remember my difficulties with coming to terms with that given my current circumstances. Well, I had finally got to the point where I was feeling happy and excited for her.

Unfortunately, my sister got very sick over the last week with pre-eclampsyia. Her blood pressure was through the roof and kidney function was starting to fail. Due to this the decision was made to deliver my nephew at a mere 25 weeks gestation (was not due until October of this year). He was born on Saturday night at 11:33pm and weighed in at a slight 669 grams. He is so tiny, but a little fighter. Considering his difficult start to life he is still going strong. My sister is still in ICU but we are hopeful she will get transferred to a ward in the next day or 2. She got to see her son for the first time late Sunday evening, but he is still not well enough to be held.

I'll catch up with everyone in the next few days. Please say a little prayer if you can for our newest little addition.
