Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception Oct #2 2012

[jo_white83]

Hi all!!! I was just wondering if it is normal to get a really sore back when taking fertility meds??? My back has been so sore for the last 2 days, and I have not been sleeping very much at all- like 4 hrs a night... I am super stressed at the moment though, I have a uni exam tomorrow and even though I have been studying I feel totally unprepared... I thought that could be why I have not been feeling right, but I don't really know...

Oh well, at least I have Friday to look forward too... Next ultrasound appointment at 08:30 Friday morning and hopefully my follicles have increased in size and I have at least 2 good ones... Can't have more than 3 though or they are gonna cancel the cycle... I really don't want that!!!

Nic77 - those results for your hubby look all to familar sadly.my hubby's results have varied first was 0% normal forms 2nd test was 4% normal forns and most recent has dropped back to 1% sadly.and i have pcos so its very very hard to get pregnant.hubby is on clomid atm and will repeat the test again in a couple of months.hopefully the clomid helps him.
Miss b- gd luck and i hope your finances turn around soon.
Vic- congratuations very happy for you!

Wow! Sounds so much like my situation! PCOS is a bugger hey! Tell me about it. I've been tring so hard to drop some weight too which I know will help but can't seem to budge any more than a couple of kg.
Any tips out there?

[jo_white83]

Hey Nic,
Just wanted to encourage you to keep at the weight loss! I have been trying to lose weight for years and I am FINALLY doing it- it's hard work and an expensive thing too... I currently do 3 personal training sessions a week and I am on a fairly strict food plan too, but it is worth it! I have lost nearly 20 kg in 4 months!
With food, I substitute white processed foods for brown foods- white rice for brown rice, white bread for wholemeal and I cut out potatoes (unless I've just done a hardcore workout)... I also stopped drinking soft drink and just drink water and tea... Green tea, fish oil capsules or flax seed oil, and protein shakes are magic when it comes to weight loss...
Trust me I know it is easier said than done, but just take it slow and don't think if it as a diet- I always sabotage myself when I do, and let yourself be naughty once in a while without punishing yourself! You deserve it!

Sorry the list is a bit late (after midnight here, so I'm tempted to do today's as well with apologies to any WA group members for whom it would be early). I've had a busy day and tomorrow will probably be worse.

Is anyone able to look after the list for me for Fri-Tues? I don't think I'll get much time on the computer and may not have internet access at all. No worries if you can't, I'll just pick it back up on Wednesday.

Sorry, I did read everyone's posts, but I'm so tired they went in one eye and out the other. Hope you all have a good weekend.

[Nic77]

Thanks Jo. I'm trying so hard. I know it's for the best reasons to keep going, just gets annoying when ya try so hard and don't get results. It something I really need to do I know for me and my own health let alone ttc aswell!
Good on you! Great effort there!
Some great tips too! Thanks.
Fingers crossed that I can drop a few more kg before our appointment on the 22 nd nov!

Oh its our 2nd wedding anniversary today! The only thing missing in our marriage is a bub:-( never thought we would be ending up on the ivf journey.
Fingers crossed this is our year!
And everyone else's on here.

No problems Nic! Forgot to say that my trainer sent me to a fitness and nutrition class and in that they have said that as long as you are doing intense interval training, weight will come off!!! I can email you the handouts I got if you would like! Also, try to do weight work at least twice a week, and go at it as hard as you can, doing weights will keep you burning calories even when you are laying in bed sleeping! The muscles have to burn the calories to heal so for the next 2-3 days, you will burn more calories than if you do a cardio session...

Juniper, I can take over the list for a few days if you would like... I have my exam today but will be home studying for next weeks exam anyways so my computer will always be on!!! Let me know if you are happy for me to do it!

[Nic77]

Jo, that would be awesome!
Thanks so much! Can I just put up my email address here or is there protocol about that?

[jo_white83]

Hey Nic,
I'm not too sure about the protocol... My email is my forum name at hotmail... Feel free to email me and I'll send along the stuff after my exam today!

[Nic77]

Cheers! Good luck with your exam :-)

[Emma09]

FS appointment today- testing revealed no 'reason' for my 2 MC's.
I'm doing another stim this month in the hope of having a bigger freezer stash, this time round.

Feeling a bit down- my BFF is cranky with me for not showing enough interest in her pregnancy- she's due 2 days after I would have been with my 2nd MC.
FFS- I ask her about her PG about once a week....
It's freakin hard.

[Curtysgirl]

Today is O day !!
Hooray ! The clomid worked and so did my ovidrel injection last night.
my scan showed 2 mature follicles and they both ruptured... Good news !

(Rant coming up)
Now for the sad news... DF had an op on his bottom on tuesday and he is have trouble performing. (the surgeon says this is completely normal) i dont think we're going to catch the eggy ))): im devastated.... I have so many mixed feelings.... I feel resentful towards DF which is completely unfair as it is not his fault he needed an op... I feel ripped off and i feel dissapointed.... Everything ive been through this cycle, its been tough emotionally & physically, my work has suffered.... the inside of my elbows are so bruised & swollen from having BT's everyday for 6 days while waiting for my eostrogen to rise. The ovidrel has given me aweful cramps & i just feel so BLAAAAHHH !!!!!!!

All about me wAhh wahh wahh

We DTD on saturday (today is thursday) do you think the spermies from saturdays shenanigans might still be swimming around in my tubes??? I really hope so... Supposed to start pessaries tomoz & continue ovidrel boosters every 3 days starting from the 4th... I think im gonna ring the clinic tomoz & get my nurse to tell me what to do.... So confused

So im sorry i hardly ever stop by & when i do i just talk about myself but tgeres quite a few of you to keep up with + my internet connection is terrible where i live (outskirts of Perth)
So i hope all of you beautiful hopeful ladies are doing well & really do wish all of you all the very best with your journey, whichever stage your at

[me4ever]

Yay, am about to ovulate as well... Took trigger injection just 15 mins ago and will have FET on coming Wednesday! I can't wait to be PUPO again. Was a bit nervous about injection, haven't had to do it since April, but all went well. Was also over the blood tests, every morning for the last 4 days. Next one will be to check if I'm pregnant...

Hugs for both emma and curtsy girl and for everyone else that need it...

[juniper76]

Thanks Jo! That would be great! I find the easiest way is to "Reply with Quote" to the previous one, remove the bits in square brackets at the start and end and then go through line by line adding 1 to all the CD and DPO numbers. I'll do Friday's while I'm here, so if you could cover Sat-Tues that would be brilliant!

Well, I am home from my ultrasound and tbh I am really unsure of how the rest of this cycle is going to go... On Monday I had 1 follicle on my right side measuring at 5mm and one on my left measuring at 4.5mm, today the right one measured at 7mm and the left at 6mm- not much growth happening, even with the increased dosage.
My FS and my nurse don't want to increase my dosage again right now as I would have to be scanned again Monday, but because of the long weekend they are closed until Wednesday... Being that I am CD13 now, by my next scan I will be CD18 and if I don't have some serious growth by then I'm pretty sure the cycle will be cancelled... I know that this occurs a lot but I was really hoping I would be one of the lucky ones who would just have everything fall into place for them- not in the way of getting pregnant straight away, but in the meds working the way they were supposed too and it just needing to be 'fine-tuned'...
Sorry for the rant, I'm gonna head back to bed and try to get some more sleep in... Maybe i'll wake up feeling a little better too...

Just wanted to sneak in and say Jo_white don't lose heart. My bfp came from a trigger at cd20 and I only managed the one dominant follicle with that. From my experience when they increased my dose at your stage I ended up with too many follicles for OI and then the cycle was cancelled. The fear of cancellation was so huge for me so can imagine how you are feeling. Got everything crossed things go as planned. Big big hugs.

Sending baby and sticky vibes to you all and stalking constantly. xxx
