Arrrr! I'm so stuck to know what to do. My back is no better and I am due to start my next cylce sometime next week. Obviously I can't have a transfer if I'm still on painkillers. I've booked acupuncture for my back to see if that helps. I'm not due to see the neuro surgeon till the 17th but even if there is something he can do I doubt it will happen till the New Year. I am going to try and cut back to just panadol over the weekend but I am doubtful it will be enough. If I have to freeze my embies and wait for treatment or an operation for my back to fix before I can use them I will be so bummed that could be months and months. I realise my back would struggle to handle a pg right now but the idea of MORE waiting is just killing me. What should I do?
Sunbeam - I have a bad back as well, 4 crushed vertebrae. I would rather be pregnant now and having to get around in a wheel chair to help deal with the pain than having to wait any longer, and I'm being completely honest. I know another pregnancy will be very straining on my back and put me in a lot of pain but another baby is worth that to me. Only you will know what you can handle
Sunbeam- thats a hard one, I'm not sure what you should do, what normally fixes your back? I will pray for a miracle that it just sorts itself out ASAP so you can have your transfer.
Hi toomanyshoes, are you ok?
Alice-thanks, I don't mind being under pressure! Hope I can come up with the goods in a few weeks. I don't get updates about the embies I don't think, just have to wait til Saturday and find out, no news is good news!
Luna- I think little hairs push the egg along the tube- don't feel like its your fault about the medication xx Hope you are feeling ok soon and can get another bfp when your body is ready
possum- I have heard about an ovulation bleed but never had one, sounds about the right timing tho.
Hi matthewsmum- nice to see you again, good luck for the tww, hoping for a miracle.
AFM- still a bit sore in the tummy but getting better every day, just had acupuncture, she felt there was something not quite right with my pulse, now I'm worried! I wish she had kept that to herself!! Counting down until Saturday xx
Saffy - if you mean in regards to my back, yeah i'm fine. I did two of them T7 and T9 years ago while still in highschool, only found out about T8 and T10 a couple of months ago. No idea when I did it. But I've learnt to live with it the best I can because there are no options, basically find ways to relieve the pain day to day and take pain killers when I absolutely can't stand it anymore. I don't take them every day, because 1 it gets $$ and 2 it's not good for my health.
alice-that course sounds good ,i'll try to pm you...sunbeam-hope the acupuncture helps,maybe she/he might be able to suggest something natural you can take with the panadol...toomanyshoes-4 crushed vertebrae-that sounds painful,hugs...saffy-counting down with you....
mathewsmum: sounds like you are going through a tough time. Sending you virtual hugs.
Alice: Sounds like your chooks get such loving care. Hope you are ok after your bush rat encounter!
Sunbeam: Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Sorry you've come back with a back problem. It sounds very painful in every sense of the word; You don't need any extra things getting in the way of TTC. I hope that your treatment starts working in time for you to do the next IVF when you want to.
Saffy: So excited you got 6 eggs! Good luck for the next bit!
Luna: Thanks for your kind words. Thinking of you. It's part of the post miscarriage heartache all the 'what ifs', i think. And the hardest thing is that we never really know what caused something to go wrong. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Toomanyshoes: Sounds like you've had a difficult few days. I hope the next few are better.
Pls forgive me if i've missed anyone. THank you to all you beautiful ladies for your feedback. I'm feeling good that we've had a good shot at things this month- DTD yesterday and got a positive OPK last night and definite ovulation pain today- but might try to get in one more just in case there aren't any cells dividing just yet! (Sorry if that's TMI!)
Saffy - Congratulations on 6 embies! I hope the *one* is in that bunch for you.
Sunbeam - I'm so glad you have a very relaxing holiday. You'll be ready and raring to go. I hope you get your back sorted out soon. Good luck with the acu.
Alice - I really hope you frosty is your lucky number. Are you planing on TF'ing soon?
Matthewsmum - I'm glad to see your name pop back up. Hope all is on track and well.
Possum - I would DTD for the next couple of days just to cover all your bases. Good luck FX.
