Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception October 2012

[wishanddream26]

Hey girls have found myself being really down today.had a iui yesterday morning,so let the two week wait begin. Im not exactly sure why im so down i was fine earlier today but now im really depressed.im guessing its just my hormones? But im not sure.im struggling atm.

W&D, sorry to hear you're having a bad time atm. I hope it's just a temporary, hormonal thing. What meds did you do this cycle? Does your clinic offer a counselling service? If so, maybe it would be worth talking to someone in case there's something more going on? I learned the hard way that early intervention is much better. The deeper, darker the hole, the harder it is to get out of... FX your IUI brings you a very good reason to be happy.

Juniper, glad to hear the cake went well and good luck for tomorrow, I have all fingers and toes crossed for you.

Me4ever, it can be hard when people around us get UTD and even have the kid while we still are trying. I hope you feel better soon. As for the natural fet, no idea but hopefully you can make something work for you.

Vic, stay strong, don't poas just enjoy your weekend.

Today is my fifth wedding anniversary, DH forgot to get the night off work, so I'm on my own. I told him he can send me off for a spa day the day before (hopefully) transfer. He asked me if I wanted him to come for the BT and scan tomorrow but coz he finishes work around 2am I'm letting him sleep instead, provided we do a nice lunch together tomorrow.

Enjoy your long weekend ladies.

n2l - I ordered the healthy origins 200mg 150cap last night - its already been shipped! yay! so I should be taking 3 a day, to get my 600mg dose? I hope they aren't huge!

[nothing2lose]

Yay! They are about the same size as licorice bullets, maybe a little fatter.

keeping my fingers crossed the timing works out for you Vic. Hope if AF does come soon that she is quick and easy on you.

Rosemarry, ugh, trying to relax is hard. here's to a nice relaxing sleep for you tonight. I know you didn't ask for the advice but my mum always says if you wake during the night write down what is on your mind and it can help you get back to sleep.

AFM, did a massive clean up today in prep for tomorrow. Still no symptoms of ohss (thank god) - i read it usually starts a few hours after trigger if E2 is excessively high like mine. The gross thing that happened today (don't read on if you are squeamish) - the neighbours had pest exterminators in and two rats decided to come into my house to get away from the poison to die. We definitely have not had rats so it is really grossing me out. I need DH to get rid of them so I can go and do some laundry. eww eww eww.

Hope everyone has a lovely night tonight. EPU is at 10.05 tomorrow. So nervous and excited. I hope they get a bunch of good eggies.

Hi girls- still here, reading away

I feel like a fraud cause my next cycle isn't until November.
In the meantime my FS has sent me and DH for BT's to rule out chromosomal abnormalities, as a reason for our recurrent miscarriages.

Whilst I'm great full for her wanting to be thorough- today they tell me that the BT will be 9 vials of blood
I'm not good with BT's at he best of times, but 9 vials?!?!?

Anyhow- I suppose it's all part of the process.

If the BT's and contrasting US, don't show anything- FS wants us to consider PGD.
It's all a lot to think about.

Hope everyone is well

Thanks Miloro for your advice and I will try it if I can't sleep next time (last night my sleep improved). All the best for your egg collection and hope you can have a lot of good quality eggs.

I called my nurse today, she said I felt depressed, lost appetite and can’t sleep, all these symptoms could be caused by increased progesterone level (because I use Crinone gel twice a day for preventing my period comes earlier). It might be a little bit too much for me and my body can’t get used to it. She said if I continue to feel like that I can use Crinone gel every night and every second morning.

Does anyone use Crinone gel twice a day?

HI ladies, well I'm sitting here at the hospital waiting for DH. They got 22 eggs. Back later.
