I knew I'd gone wrong somewhere. Fixed now. Sorry.:
WRT the aspirin, you ask the chemist for "low dose aspirin" (100mg). You would not give it to a child (except on Drs orders). From what little I know, I think "baby aspirin" is more of an American term and over there it is actually 81mg instead of 100mg.
Juniper when do you take the asprin? what is it supposed to do? since i'm now 3dpo i'm assuming its too late for this cycle?
Rai, don't take the aspirin unless instructed by your FS. It can be detrimental to some women and cause problems with implantation. It really is an individual thing.
Rai- In my early days of fertility treatment I suffered recurrent miscarriages.. So after running some tests my FS put me on low dose aspirin. I took it for the rest of my fertility treatment and ivf and it was the first time I was able to maintain a pregnancy. I have also had a blood clot in the past... Talk to your FS and see if it is suitable for you x
I completely agree with this. There are some people for whom it can be harmful. Best to seek medical advice before starting. Your Dr is likely to support the idea, so I wouldn't worry about being told to not do it. Even the Drs who don't really believe in the immune aspects of IF tend to be comfortable with their patients taking the aspirin.:
My current FS has me taking it the entire cycle. My previous FSs only had me take it after O. When I asked my OB about it, he said to just start once I had a BFP. Chat with your Dr about it and see what they recommend. I've never started taking it without first discussing it with a Dr. And that's with knowing it has not caused me any problems in the past...
If you're doing a fresh IVF cycle and are taking it all cycle, you have to stop a few days before EPU. This is where it's particularly important for your Dr to be involved in the decision of whether or not to take it.

Cd1 for me
Hi girls, just a quick question, since yesterday I have had some spotting, I think its spotting, I never get spotting, that's why I say I think it is. It goes and comes, just a little bit, only when I wipe, during the day, but not every time I go to the toilet, it is brown, shall I take that as a CD1? Is there something I can do to get my full period? I had it yesterday in the morning, then I didn't see it again, until before I went to bed. This morning it was there, there at midday. Ewwww, sorry if TMI
CatyO I can sometimes get that a few days before my period, where it is annoying enough to be paranoid that it is going to start full flow. But I don't count until it is proper flow. Being brown though means it is old blood passing, gross I know!
Catyo things can be a bit different after MC... It's only counted as CD1 when its red and proper bleeding. Unfortunately in the meantime, you just have to be prepared. :hug::
Sorry, CatyO, I agree with the others that it needs to be full red flow to be AF. I'm sorry that means you're waiting in limbo longer. It's awful. If you haven't started bleeding after 2 weeks, I'd give your FS a call (that was my instruction when my chem pg was diagnosed). :hug:
CatyO- When I had mc's I had spotting on and off for anything up to about a week before proper AF would start... It's cruel hey when you just want it over with :hug:.
I was always told the same an Juniper... If you don't have a heavy flow after 2 weeks call the FS. Thinking of you honey Xx
Hi girls
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. When I last wrote my sister was just diagnosed with breast cancer. So she's had surgery last week and starts chemo nxt month. I also managed to start my shots (after an initial scan that lining was still too thick!) so got to start on day 5. All going well until yesterday :( I have premature luthinisation which is where my p4 is too high and again my lining is too thick too early on. I was given option to either cancel cycle ( im on day 11) or proceed with pick up and freeze, so we decided on the later. So all in all it's been a stressful month :( I have pick up on Monday. Fingers crossed we have some to freeze as we didn't last cycle.
I have a lot to read over here to catch up on everyone! Hope you are all doing ok.
Chat sn :)
Hi girls, thanks for all your comments. Just wanted to know if that brown spotting was normal or common. To be hones lm feeling very positive and enthusiastic, the sadness from las weekend lasted what it had to last. I have always recovered quick from "fatalities". I guess l didnt really get to feel pregnant, thats why l got over it quickly. Of course there was the sadness of holding hopes and then didnt get what l wanted, but l think l was prepared for the first IVF not working as they told me that hundreds of times... But l know it will happen someday :)
The only reason that has me here waiting anxiously for my period is that we are going overseas and l Would like to have everything in order before we go, in case l needed a D&C... how long it takes to recover normally after a D&C?
Juniper, l wont be ttc in the next couple months, so could you put me on taking a break, please? When we go on holidays l dont really worry about it. We dtd whenever we feel like it :D

Hi Juniper I'm actually CD 12 today EPU Monday 1st July thank you :)
Bunnyfeet, I'm so sorry to hear of your sister's cancer! I hope the treatments work well and she kicks the big C's butt! I'm also sorry to hear your lining also isn't cooperating. I hope you have a great selection of snowbabies after your EPU and that your first FET is a success.
CatyO, the physical recovery from a d&c is usually very quick. You usually only run into trouble if they miss some and you need a repeat (my OB warned me that was a possibility because it's a "blind" procedure, ie not u/s guided). Someone experienced is less likely to leave some behind though, so the risk is relatively low. I bled for 2.5 weeks after mine, but most women seem to bleed for only a few days. I always seem to bleed longer than average after GYN procedures (ie d&c, hsg, lap, hysteroscopy)... I had my d&c on a Monday and on the Thursday was well enough to drive across town (1 hour each way) with DD (almost 1 at the time) to visit my parents (who still don't know about the d&c). I was recovered enough that they didn't suspect anything was wrong.
Thanks Juniper. She had partial mastectomy and they're very optimistic with her tx she'll be ok fx so stressful and a worry but hoping all will be ok. Got to catch up on everyone's news. How did your iui go Juniper?
So sorry about your outcome CathyO :( look after yourself x
Congrats Hummingbird :)
And well done and good luck to every one ttc wherever you're at this month x
Bunnyfeet, glad to hear they think the prognosis is good. IUI went smoothly, so just praying I produced a good egg and that it was fertilised by a good sperm to create a good embryo. Nothing we can do but wait...
Fingers and everything else crossed for you Juniper! :thumbup::):):)
Thanks, hun. xx
I finally told DH about his results. He said we're done TTC. :crying:
:( :( :(:
:hug: I'm so sorry Juniper xxx
:hug::
heres hoping he just needs a little time to deal with it.... I guess he will need to grieve before he can make any real decisions...
Heres another :hug: for Mr Juniper
I am so sorry juniper. Give him some time, perhaps is just the shock of the news. If the dr has agreed with u having another iui it means that he thinks there is hope? Otherwise they wouldn't bother l guess...
I think l would have reacted like him, unless they explained me why we are having another iui if everything is lost. I would give him a few days to let things cool down... And l know is difficult, but try and stay calm, relax and think n the posibility of the miracle that could be at the monent in the oven. Sending hugs your way xx.
What happened Juniper?
Thanks ladies. I'm hoping he'll come around, but have to consider he may not. He came back later and suggested we adopt instead, but I don't think he realises that's just as unlikely to succeed as what we're doing now and far more expensive. I think I'll suggest he look into it himself and let me know what he finds. And if he's willing to adopt, maybe he'll be open to adopting donor embryos after he's had some time to think?
He also accused me of thinking this had no impact on him. That really hurt.
Bunnyfeet, we had advanced testing done on DH's sperm and got some very bad results, so our FS is recommending donor sperm. Even IVF can't help with this particular problem. There is literally nothing we can do to improve his results.
So sorry to hear Juniper massive hug
My hubby has same problem and my FS has said his sperm is a huge worry. He said we could try ivf and see but we could be looking at the same road and my DH isn't really up for it either. So hard. Let's hope this IUI has done the trick it only takes one sperm! FX for you hun x
sneaking in *hugs * I hope you can both process the news and move forward. As above surely the fs would not be continuing with your treatment of it was a total waste of time xxx
Juniper- I think men just need a bit of time to adjust. I know if my DH were given news like that he would need months of thinking time. I hope you can both work through it together and keep hugging each other x
Good luck everyone x
Afm- we caught O quite vigorously ;-) so you never know. Although I do know that it won't work, but you never know! Lol stupid ttc!

Oh Juniper I'm sorry DH didn't take the news so well.. Give him sime time and maybe he will be ok once he is over the initial shock. I have everything crossed that by some miracle your iui has worked Xx
AFM... Started Crinone on Saturday and eagerly counting down till Wednesday to have my little snowflake on board! I have not stopped stressing about my lining.. Anyone know if it continues to thicken while taking Progynova & Crinone? I'm scared cause I don't have another scan before transfer and I don't want to waste a blasty if my lining is not ready...?
Not sure Jasmine but ill be intetested to hear as im having issues with my lining being too thick, is that what's happening with you?
Bunny- Nope I'm having issues with my lining being way too thin! Pitty I can't just take some of yours and fix the problem for both of us. What are they doing to thin your lining?
Oh if only! Not sure what's causing it. It may be a ghost follicle hanging around from last cycle causing my progesterone to rise too early and cause my lining to thicken too early. I have to freeze this cycle (if we have any to freeze) not sure what plan is if it's still too thick to do a FET
Jasmine - I requested another scan the day before transfer when my lining was only 6.4mm. After 5 days of taking progynova 2mg 3xday my lining had not changed at all - so I cancelled that cycle myself as didn't want to waste an embryo, the money & also most importantly the emotional side when it would have failed. It has been found out since then I don't respond to progynova very well though. You can always ask for a scan on Tuesday to see what's happening. People can get pregnant with thinner lining than 8mm but from beginning chances are less. I personally will not do a transfer if my lining is less than 7.5mm as have trouble with mine even with drugs to help. The only Bfp I have got my lining was 8mm and that's the thickest it's ever got to.
Juniper - so sorry your dh has not taken the news well at all. At least you have got it off your chest now & hopefully once he has absorbed the news he may change his mind about ttc. As the others have said there is always a chance it will work. Sending hugs your way Hun. Hopefully this cycle of iui had worked & you are pregnant right now.
Bunny feet - hope your fs has some ideas as to how to thin your lining.
Juniper - can you please change me to taking a break - waiting to see dr next week to see what's our next step. Why isn't this easier for all of us? It is just not fair!
Beau- I did think about asking the clinic for a scan tomorrow but when I spoke to my FS last week at my scan he told me not to worry and that my lining will be fine for transfer. At that stage it was 7mm and I was just over a week into my Progynova tablets... I'm taking 6x 2mg a day! If I get them to do a scan before my transfer on Wednesday can they freeze the embryo again if my lining is too thin?

Bunnyfeet, I'm curious to know what counts as "too thick"? I've been wondering about that. Mine was too thick at CD2 (ie hadn't fully shed) this cycle, but was supposedly fine at CD11.
Afm, DH asked a random question about donor eggs/embryos yesterday, so maybe he'll come around. When he's ready, I think I'll make an appt with the FS for both of us to discuss the various donor options. I don't think DH will listen to me and I don't know all the details anyway. I'm just hoping he'll agree to continuing the IUI for now...
Juniper, sorry to hear your news hun about your hubby, but l, like everyone else, hope that he comes around xx
Jasmine, GL with your lining and your FET!
Hello to everyone else :)
I just called my IVF nurse as AF arrived today, so CD1 for me, on day 26. She said that they skip that AF as the first one after a stim and taking that synarel spray can be a bit off, and wait for the next one to do a natural FET. So no transfer till August, so over it!!!!!! :wall:
