Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception June 2013

Juniper, Sorry about your not so good news.. It's just **** and so unfair sometimes! Would ICSI be an option for you? I know nothing about MF infertility so sorry in advance if this is a silly question. Hugs honey X

Beau, Yay for being PUPO! Sending lots of embryo sticking vibes your way :)

MissB, Only one more day till your follie scan! I'm praying that you have lots of nice big follies tomorrow!!

Epayne, I really hope the witch moves on soon.

AFM, Had a massive melt down this morning! I thought last night that the witch was finally gone.. Only to wake up with unbelievably painful cramps and full on AF again. Then my Gonal F injection wouldn't work. Tried 4 times with one pen before giving up and using a new pen. Add to that my Orgalutran and I ended up having to jab 6 times this morning. The meds have never really gotten to me before but today I'm so emotional and tired... I was a blubbering mess and ended up late for work.

That conversation will be tough. Very tough! What are your feelings about donor sperm?
I find it very hard to think that it's all part of a plan..... The things that some people have to go through.... It's horrible.

Jasmine, sorry to hear you're having a bad day too. I hope the day improves for you. How rude of AF to keep hanging about... :( I asked our FS about ICSI and he said it wouldn't help for this particular issue.

Williever, I don't know how I feel about it. Until yesterday, I felt quite comfortable with the idea of donor eggs (because of my DOR), but this morning's news has made me question even that. I think I just need some time to think it all through (and when I say "time", I mean a few months, not a few days). It took me about 6 months to come to terms with the DOR diagnosis, so not expecting to come to terms with this any quicker...

Thanks for your support ladies. I'm kind of in shock that we have another huge untreatable obstacle. As if our situation wasn't bad enough. I know our situation hasn't actually changed, it's just hard to discover that it's much worse than we thought...

Sorry Juniper x I think it should take a while to think about. There's lots to deal with.

Jasmine - ugh. Horrible injections. Sorry!

Oh juniper - you poor thing. Sending big hugs your way. What a shame dh did not come with you this morning - it would have been easier him hearing it from dr. Males take it much harder than us women too. My dh has poor sperm count & blames himself all the time & it upsets him when I am so upset about not being pregnant. I now try to not be so upset on front of him - which again is hard. The sooner you tell him though then you can both process it together. Good luck Hun - ill be thinking of you. Xx

Jasmine - injections suck - hope you are having a better day by now & hopefully tomorrow will be easier for you.

Epayne - hope af finally goes away.

Nearly 24hours down - felt extremely nauseated last night (hoping it was the massive dose of progesterone spread over a few hours rather than a day). Feeling better today. Just relaxing at home with my furbaby in the sunshine.

Juniper that sucks :( :hug:

juniper i'm so sorry this news would be devastating for you. You have so much to think about and digest
you are in my thoughts xxxx

Thanks for your support, ladies. I appreciate it.

The good news from today is that my b/w as fine, so I'll be starting the meds for the IUI tomorrow. Full steam ahead, setting out to defy the odds... ;)

*hugs* Juniper xx

So sorry Juniper :hug:

Juniper sneaking in to say I am so sorry, I know how you feel cause when the clinic told us it could be dh side due to the way things progressed and I didn't know how to tell him. I realized he had a right to know as he would have been told it if he was there when I spoke to them, unfortunately men don't seem to take it the same way as us. Good luck hun and all you can do is break it as gently as you can xoxoxoxo

Oh Juniper, this must be so hard for you. Wishing you strength & courage on your path forward. Hope that hubby takes the news well xxx

Oh Juniper, that is just crap. Like the others I do think it is harder for men to process, my DH knew from the beginning of our relationship that it wouldn't be easy for us to have a family, but it took him a while to understand what we need to do. Sending you lots of hugs and I'm sure you will both give each other the support.

Well AF has started to settle today, omg 5 days of full on cramps and heavy flow I feel exhausted. I'm going to talk to our FS when we have our appointment in July, I so just want this journey to start already, 4 yrs I'm over waiting. And that is if it goes to plan, which nothing seems to do. Oh well I just have to keep thinking positive

Juniper, big hugs honey :hug:. I hope that you can move forward from here, and work through everything slowly. I often 'wonder' about my OH's swimmers. We've been lucky enough to get enough for each cycle through the needle biopsy, but he's had 12 months now to get healthier and stop smoking (neither happened) so I worry that this time they might go in there and there either won't be any good ones or there won't be enough.

Epayne, glad all is getting better at your end. 4 years is such a long time waiting! Hopefully you'll be on your journey very soon and a BFP too.

Beau, I don't like 2WW! I hate that part, I tend to go loopy then, but then, I think we all do to some extent! FX for you hun.

Jasmine, you poor love! All that jabbing sounds awful hun. Hopefully it will be smoother sailing from now on.

Williever, always thinking of you hun, sending you big hugs.

Hello at everyone else :)

Well, the scan is tomorrow morning at 9.30, FX that it all goes well and to plan :pray:

Juniper, Yay for the start of an iui cycle today! What meds are you using?

Beau, Hope the progesterone is kind to you hun.

MissB, how did your scan go this morning? Hope you had some good follies..

Hi to everyone else Xx

AFM- The b****y witch is still hanging around! So over it!! Anyone know how long it takes for the lining to build up after AF? I have 5 days till EPU.. Do I have any chance of a transfer this month if the witch gets on her broom in the next couple of days??

Jasmine - you poor thing. I am praying for you that the witch leaves ASAP. I'm definitely not the right person to give advice about lining - my thin lining is our issue ever since d&c. What was your lining at your scan the other day?
