LT TTC and Assisted Conception Apr-May 2012

I'm guessing they would be averages Amy because the stats vary so much depending on your age and the nature of your infertility problems.

[vic261]

My FS told me last Monday that 20% for a normal healthy youngish couple natural and with IVF 45-50%. My clinic seem to believe that they have almost the same success rates with stims and FET's. Anything to get my money, I think! How anyone gets pregnant natually is beyond me...

Myturn I'm really sorry you were right. Definately stick around as you work on your health.

Welcome to the thread Miss P. Hopefully you can join another more cheerful one soon but we are a great bunch to hang out with if you have to be here

Vic I like you fs odds best
I've just entered the tww so will see what the month of May brings. Feeling positive this far for two reasons. A) this is the furtherest we have gotten in a while and b) Dh has finally come to the party!!!!! That's right he's finally gettin over his ivf phobia. I can't believe it. I think my nag free approach worked and he suddenly came out with 'If this doesn't work maybe we should just spend the extra money and do the full thing' his code for let's do ivf apparently. Hopefully we won't need it but nice to know the option is there. I think we would have a month off and then jump in. My poor body is a bit tired of nonstop jabbing since January.

Welcome Mrs P, the ladies here are wonderful and provide me with sanity and a place to talk about all my infertility struggles without feeling judged, I am sure they will do the same for you.

Thanks Miss B, Amy, N2L & Vic for the info, I guess it really is an individual thing and I will just have to wait and see what the FS has to say. I think i was just hoping for some positive stats, but really when we have been given a 2-3% chance of falling naturally anything is a positive.

Keta that is wonderful news hun, I hope you don't end up needing it but its fantastic that your DH has come around.

woo hoo Keta! I was reading one of your posts in the vent thread earlier today (apparently I missed it earlier this year!) and am SOOOO glad he got there! (good old reverse psychology perhaps??? -- shhh... we won't tell him!)

Of course it's going to work because we are going to be in TWW together and instead of just doing lunch every few weeks we will be shopping together for baby clothes!!!

N2L - Yes very much just an average. He said that every 3 months the doc's in WA have to send through their stats to get a state average or something :shrug:

Today has been mental here, I have been trying to get the house clean and everything done before my transfer on Wed so I can relax on my 5 days off. So fare I have:

Painted the Laundry, bathroom and toilet (well DH did and I supervised )
Mopped the floors
Cleaned out the fridge
Got a casserole ready in the slow cooker for tomorrow night
Prepared a roast
Cleaned the bathroom
Went shopping for 2 birthday presents
And now im sitting here sipping on the last glass of wine i'll be able to have waiting for my roast to cook. Start the pessaries tonight, not sure what to expect as i've always been on the Crinone before.

Pessaries are better than crinone IMO. Still some waxy residue, but not cottage cheese clumps like crinone.
