Hi everyone.. hope you're all going along well through your cycles. I'm still waiting for AF to arrive so I can start a FET in November.. time ticks by so slowly when you are waiting!!
Babytruj, I had a hsg test done and it depends on the reasons for testing as to whether it is better than a lap. I was booked in for a lap and my gyno recommended having a hsg while waiting for the lap appt to check tubes were clear. My test came back all clear and the gyno recommended moving onto ivf. I was told the lap would only confirm what the hsg test had shown - that the tubes were clear and that I should cancel the appt. However, talking later to the FS, a lap can also identify endo and any cysts or problems that may be inhibiting conception. I still haven't had it done but often wonder if our "unexplained infertility" could be clarified by having a lap done. I guess we will continue for a few more cycles of ivf/fet and consider going back and requesting a lap if we haven't had any luck. Looking back, I wish I'd gone ahead with the lap, at least I would know that I had been fully "investigated" on the inside! Good luck with your decision.

AFM Had my BT today was hoping to get the results this evening but FS didn't ring so looks like I am going to have to wait till monday to get the results of if I O'd or not. I think I did as I have been cramping for most of the day and that is not normal for me. DP bd'd when we were told to so hopefully I will graduate to the TWW soon.
Good luck to you all
babytruj - I chose a lap over an HSG because I wanted to cross as many potential 'obstructions' off the list as I could at the one time! Also I was a bit freaked out by the concept of the HSG and preferred to try a general anaesthetic instead (obviously I'd never had one so had no idea ha ha). Like the other girls I needed a good week to recover. The incision site was ok after about 2 days but I had SEVERE shoulder tip pain (it comes from the gas they use to 'blow up' your belly, it irritates the diaphragm and causes referred pain in the shoulder tips). I think I made it worse by lying around on the couch most of the time, so I'd recommend trying not to be too slothful afterwards if you do have a lap!
Spring - thanks hun but my journey has been nothing compared to many ladies on here The FVL means I'm more likely to get a blood clot, which of course is bad news for assisted conception! Can't go on the pill as that causes blood clots too. I have my first appt with a haematologist on Wednesday next week, so hopefully he'll fill me in on how to manage this during IVF, pg and beyond. It does concern me slightly that I can reach 29 yrs old and only just find out that I should have never been on the pill (umm took it for 8 yrs) or taken flights without support stockings (umm probably taken 20 flights without them...). Also I think it means if I get OHSS it will be super-bad news, so they will try everything to prevent that, which may mean doing IVM.
MrsM - sorry to hear of your Dad's illness.
smithy - get nice and cosy as your two embies are snuggling in nice and tight girl!!
AFM - looking forward to my haematologist appt next week to get some info, I did some googling on FVL and got freeeeeeaked out so I made myself stop DH and I are in a new fitness regime, we go jogging at least 3 times a week. Every time I feel like stopping I just tell myself its all about getting as healthy as I can for that first round of IVF!! Also it makes me think more about what I eat, cos I know how horrendous it is trying to work it off!!
Afternoon ladies I am so upset at the moment and I don't know who else to talk to I was just outside getting my washing off the line and the FS called I didn't hear the phone so there was a message on my answering mechine anyway my BT results are in from yesterday and it appears that I failed to O yesterday like I was ment to and my FS wants me to take another pregnyl 5000 trigger tonight the only problem is that I don't have any pregnyl 5000 at the moment and I don't have another script for it also I live in Cooma and the chemists in town don't stock the pregnyl they have to order in in special which takes over night. So anyway the FS said my E2 was up around 4000-6000 which means there are 4 follicles just waiting to be released well I tried ringing the FS back and all I am getting is the answering mechine so I can't get a hold of her till monday so now I am really upset as I don't know if these follicles will hang on till monday or if they will dissapear and to top it all off I have to start work in 40mins so I don't even get time to feel sorry for myself.
oh wishing baby! so sorry to hear the stress you are in right now. I really hope maybe you can get hold of your FS. It is sooo frustrating when our bodies don't do what they are meant to when they are meant to! big hug to you...i hope those follicles hang in there
Hi Wishing Baby,
Sorry to hear your news and that you are upset and stressing, there is nothing worse. I don't know much about this but I was of the understanding that if you have follies there, eventually they will O, whether with pregnyl or not. I thought the pregnyl was given so you know exactly when to BD? I hope this is the case and would suggest you and DP just go to town this weekend in case it happens naturally, and then get another BT on Monday to see where you are at. I hope all is not lost, fingers crossed for you. x
Hi Wishing Baby-
I can't think of any way to help you get in touch with you FS. I understand the frustration, and the wondering of a missed cycle - we went through this last weekend. My FS has his mobile number on his answering machine for after hours. Have you been able to find a number like that for your FS?
I agree with Baby Dreamtime - you guys should have a BD weekend, and see how the follies are on Monday. Can't hurt, right?
Thinking of you and hoping you can (easier said than done) relax and de-stress this weekend.
WOULDLOVEABUBBA--- you have done an amzing job hun and all you need is those 2 beautiful embies on board we dont need any more ok hun you have done wonderfully and im proud of us
so hang in there and be proud .
