Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - Nov/Dec 2007

[pollyanna]

Hi girls,
I hope you have had a great day. I also hope that tommorow finds even more of you with bfp"s. I'm feeling positive today. I finally got in to see my fs and he is wonderful. Best money spent... He was very efficient and extremely informative and even gave me a bit of a chuckle with his bedside manner. So it seems my chances of having a baby arent totally over and that clomid isn't the b all and end all for everyone. So he thinks we need to take a more aggressive stance. So i have to wait until my next af then call him on that day or asap if he is shut and he said he will get me in that day and we will get the injections going. He gave me books and leaflets and a dvd to watch. The needle on the gonal f pen looks huge so that has made me quite petrified and i think it will really hurt on my soft pudgey belly. Not looking foward to that, and i know that that is only the half of it. So feeling positive but a little freaked out. I just wanted to thankyou girls all so much. I know I'm a bit of a floater and i drop in and out,but i have made good friends with a lot of you and i do really care and i do watch with eagerness when i read your accomplishments and it brings me great joy to know that at least if its not happening for me it is happening for other well deserving women.I do think of you all lots , Soul,Willow,bw to name a few.

Sleep well lovelies

polly - i'm so glad your FS has been able to give you some more hope in this journey. sometimes it's easy to feel jaded and as if nothing will ever work, but i'm sure your FS has lots of ideas to help you out! are you going to be doing IUI or IVF hun??

if the gonal-f pen is anything like the puregon one, it really doesn't hurt that much at all - the needles are very fine and super sharp so you barely notice it!! and don't worry about the pudgy belly - i have one of those and i think it makes it easier!!!

have you checked out the Long Term TTC & AC thread here - there are a bunch of lovely ladies in there (and one great gent!) who can help to support you through this
