Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - March 2007

[lushlou]

HI ladies, hope you don't mind me popping in, just after a bit of solace & company.

Butterfly- I hope you've taken the time off & you're enjoying the day.

SS- Sorry to hear about your appt. Hopefully today is a better day for you.

Sammi- great news re: follicles, they sound nice & big & ready to go. Good luck with the EPU. I haven't tried trigger shots, but am wishing you the best.

Jo- the confusion just makes the frustration increase. I hope your bod gets into gear soon and you get the BFP you hope for. Fingers crossed for you too.

Briggsys- I might take a leaf out of your book and fill my diary & be more active & 'out there'. Comes & goes. It's the quiet times when the mind wanders & thinks too much. All the best for your surgery too.

nic- hard to hear loved ones are expecting- esp. rellies. I hear you there. Wishing you much good luck.

Hi everyone else- :-)

Me- well again, hope you don't mind me popping in. I posted a thread earlier in the week, frustrated at the world & thinking rash thoughts. I'm at the very tip of this iceberg called 'assisted conception'. I've done only 1 IUI (drug-free), & this cycle I'm unlikely to ovulate due to non-growing follies, which I'm told is from stress. So more facials & massages to come methinks!
I wanted to jump on the IVF bus straight away, but I'm learning to take it step by step. DH is back mid-April then gone from mid-May till Sept. Hence I wanted everything to happen for IVF, appts, tests, while he's home. However after some re-thinking, instead of a mad rush (more stress), next cycle I'll commence Clomid to help the follies & stay with IUI until Sept. When DH returns in Sept & nothing happens, then we'll go to IVF. I haven't given it a chance yet have I? I just want it all.
So...deep breath.

Thanks girls, all the best to you.
