Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception March 2013

Hi gorgeous ladies

Happy Easter to you all!

I've been stalking just like nic77. I am just waiting for af to arrive so We can start another natural fet cycle. Physically I am fine but emotionally I am still a mess from miscarriage in feb. This last week have just found out another 2 friends are pregnant & they didn't have to try at all. Wouldn't that be lovely for all of us here? Not too sure when af will arrive as my hormones were still dropping a week after my last af & my hcg was still 7. Has this happened to any of you?

Kbudgie - I have my fingers crossed for you. I feel this is your month!

Juniper - you are still doing a fantastic job on the list. Thanks

Beau, I didn't have that happen, but I have a friend who waited about 3 months (I think?) for her hcg to return to zero. Sending a big hug your way. Hope you have something that gives you a reason to smile today. :hug:

Thanks juniper xx

Nic I know how you feel, everyone's an expert...the only people I know who don't have all the answers are the ones that have had trouble, complications or miscarried and they would understand more than everyone else put together....I don't need to lose weight but I've been told if I relax, cut my work hours (I work 3 days so not even full time) or change to a less stressful job (which would probably come with less $$ and a different stress!) it will happen..or the best 'just stop caring or thinking about it, that happened to my aunties best friends sisters dog...' Actually I was lectured the other night by well meaning friends (one who freaked after 1 month ttc but fell the next month...twice!) that everything happens for a reason and u don't know now why but u will be so grateful....blah blah blah, we were out at dinner so I just took a big swig of wine and nodded politely.

Beau I'm so sorry to hear that you've had two announcements so close...I had one last week and its so nice for them but also a kick in the guys when you know you've been trying like 18months longer! Why can't it be like the woolies deli counter where you take a number and patiently wait your turn?...he he he.

AFM I have been letting a bit loose this month, I figure 3 x 5dt and all bfn mean by chances of a freak natural bfp would be slim to none so I've been enjoying myself and having a few drinks etc, its been great :) though I've been having ewcm this weekend so we've made the most of that in case there's a Christmas bub waiting around ;) I get my crazy blood test results at the end of the month so will be waiting for that before I let myself think of anything else.

Juniper - I'm not doing an ok this month so not sure when I'll be O, happy to stay in the top bit or if u want to move me down maybe just say I'm O today or tomorrow? Thanks xx

Gosh sorry for the long post....

Good on you! I'm doing the same! I'm sitting here right now with a plate of cheese, dips, pate, olives, bread and crackers and a bottle of wine to wash it down... (Guess who doesn't need dinner tonight? ;)) Only thing I'm "allowed" out of all of those is the olives...

Just let me know which day you're assuming is O; it's not really something I can guess for you. Or if you reach a point where you think you're in the 2ww but don't know how many dpo and want to move down to that section, just let me know and I can put question marks for the dpo. You're also welcome to stay in the top section if you prefer (many do when they're having a "relaxed" cycle). You don't need to track O for my benefit and I'm happy to go with whatever you want. :)

Nic, I forgot to say congrats on the weight loss! That's a great effort! I'd love if it did result in a spontaneous BFP for you, but it certainly doesn't happen for everyone and most people never consider there may be other factors at play when they start handing out their "advice". You quickly learn who will be supportive and who will just make you feel like beating your head against a brick wall... Lol, and then they get their noses out of joint because you've stopped including them (eg my mum, who has thrown all the clichés at us - relax, go on a holiday, etc - and even said IVF was too clinical and we should keep TTC naturally because it should be about love)... :rolleyes:

Hi ladies!

Has anyone ever used progynova to 'mimic' ovulation or bring on ovulation?
My FS has given me a script to use- depending on today's blood test results and I'm not 100% sure on why it does.

Thanks!

Hi Emma, I used it on a low dose FET. Personally I didnt react well to it. I know that its used with women who are menopausal. But I was taking 3 times the dose. I suffered terribly with headaches from it.

Bugger Krikkit!
That's no good.... Hoping to avoid it then, if I can.
It's 2mg tablets- 1 bd with food.
What ever the bd means!

Hi Emma

I have used progynova my last 2 fet cycles. I only had to use it when my lining was thin after my scans from when I took the trigger shot till either when af arrived or I misscarried. I was on 2mg 3 times a day. Didn't have any side effects from it. Just forgot to take it a few times.

Hi girls
I have some catching up to do so I'll pop back later for personals.
Hope you all had a lovely Easter.

AFM
Bloods are still not baseline however not rising so my little bleed was definitely not Implantation spotting.
Ultrasound this morning showed my Corpus Luteum still sitting in my ovary that's why my hormones are confused. Get official results today, hopefully no cysts ... Not sure what FS will do, maybe a lap or ralovera to bring on a full bleed.


Humph. Life is poo at times.

Yay!!! Bloods indicate a surge today!
FS not convinced after US, so more bloods tomorrow.... Boo to BT!

I'm on provera for 10 days to bring on a heavy bleed then the pill for 28 days to regulate everything and get rid of this lingering corpus luteum on my ovary.

Prob can't start stim IUI cycle until may 10 which is when we leave for Melbourne for 2 weeks. Is it really bad/sad that I'd rather stay home and do my cycle than go on holiday.

Fek Fek Fek !!!!

Can't stop crying.
Love to all

Curtysgirl, I'm sorry to hear you will have such a long wait. :comfort: I can imagine how disappointed you are feeling now. I hope after all of this that your long-awaited IUI brings you a BFP to make it all worth the wait!

Emma, FX for you!

Thanks Juniper.
I take comfort knowing I'm not the only one with this constant heart ache.
I'm gonna take a break from BB for a while (I'll stalk occasionally)

Take care of yourselves and I'll see you all in a couple of months xxooxxoo

Hello ladies,
Sorry I've been off the radar for awhile, needed some down time after our first failed IVF cycle. I started seeing a TCM doctor for accupuncture and herbs and I find I'm now in the right head space to get back on the TTC journey! We've got 2 frosties so will be doing our first FET next cycle, I'm really looking forward to not having to (hopefully) go through egg pickup again for the next couple of tries!

So Juniper I'm currently CD16 :)

I'm going to have to do some reading to catch up on what is happening with everyone, but sorrry to hear about your miscarriage Beau30, I can't imagine how hard that must be, sending hugs your way x
Curtsygirl hope your time goes quick, try and keep your mind on other things in life, I found a break from thinking about TTC all day every day refreshing, just keep yourself busy x
