BJ - I'm so so soory hun! It really isn't fair go ahead and rant. Try not and lose too much faith though, i know it is gutting, but you have to keep believing that one day you will get your little miracle. Life can be really sucky sometimes. If you don't mind me asking what is the reason for doing IVF? Is there any chance of you falling naturally? Sorry if thats too personal.
No that's ok, I don't mind. Our main problem is DH, very very low count. I have a few issues but nothing severe. Our chances of falling naturally are pretty much impossible unfortunately
Has your hubby tried accupuncture? My hubby has only 1.5% normal morphology and it was recommended that he give accupuncture a go as it is supposed to increase sprem count and improve morphology. He hasn't yet as he is too worried about where they will stick the needles lol!
No he hasn't tried it yet, I keep at him to give it a go. He was worried about the same thing (men! They don't think about what we have to go through in all this!) sometimes I think a few needles where it hurts would be good for them! But acupuncture doesn't work like that, there are all different points on the body that relate to other things along the chanels. Points are mostly on hands, legs, feet, stomach and head. It's facinating really, I'm seriously hooked and even thinking of studying it next year. I think I'm just going to make him go! You guys should definitely try it.
FWIW, I've subtly hinted at acu for my DH, but when I told my acu I was trying to talk him into it she said that acu wasn't something you talked someone into - they are either ready to try it or they aren't. Of course, you can still encourage them to be ready to try it.
I've got a friend on another website who was told IVF was their only option. Her DH tried acu and menevit and his s/a results improved so much they tried an IUI while they saved up for IVF. That first IUI worked and they now have a beautiful little boy! It doesn't work for everyone, but it certainly worked for them, so I figure it can't hurt to try!
Juniper - You have a very good point. I don't think acupuncture would work if you didn't believe it. But I'll keep trying anyway
Thanks tantee xxx
I have just shut myself in my room, watching chick flicks and getting it all cried out. I am just racking my brain trying to figure out a way that we can afford to try again, I don't want a break, I don't want to wait! I just want someone to flick to the back of this story and tell me how it ends!
Em-Star ~ Thanks so much, im a lot more positive now too, just hope it pays off!
What you said about my wonderful friend who was so generous and sent us a very kind cheque is so so true. I hope the same for them. Your words were perfect - im not very good with words, your words were spot on and beautiful!
Renee ~ Hoping AF comes soon for you so you can do your FET ASAP! FX
BJ ~ So sorry hun about your embie Dont give up hope though, I know its hard but I know we'll all get there one day! Hang in there.
Im trying to convince my DH to go to Acupuncture too - men hey
Thanks to everyone once more for your kind words and wishes.
Hope everyone is well
AFM ~ Got my BT results Sat lunch time finally - from the day before. My HCG had increased to 1300 but my progesterone is still very low at only 12. Hoping it keeps rising. Still in the dark Nurse is going to ring my FS tomorrow I think and see when would be the very earliest I could have a scan. FX its asap to put me out of my misery.
Thanks ladies xoxo
Hi ladies
Thanks so much but I just started bleeding - VERY HEAVY! So Im either losing it or have Ectopic as suspected. Im booked in for an ultrasound at 11.40 tomorrow at my clinic. Just hope i dont end up in hospital before then. Im still hoping to god its not ectopic but either way its looking bad
Thanks for your prayers and wishes ladies, you have been amazing! xoxo
Loops - OMG I am so sorry. I think you should ring your doctor and tell them what is happening in case you should be in hospital now. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Renee - So sorry this isn't your month. Chemical pregnancys are so hard. You are so right that it is not fair. But great news about the FET.
Mum2be - Fingers crossed. Enjoy relaxing through your tww if you can.
Juniper76 - Thanks so much for your advise. We did wait and got 2 eggs in the end.
bj 81- Am totally gutted for you. what a journey we go through, it can be so tough. My thoughts are with you.
tantee - Good luck, hope you get a BFp since the overhaul.
JBM - April sound like a great month to get pregnant.
Leabie - Hope you had a great birthday. Fingers and toes crossed for you next cycle. What a rollercoaster ride we are on.
AFM - Having transfer tomorrow. Only got 2 follicles but both had eggs and have fertilised to everyones amazment. So here goes our first and hopefully last transfer.
Wow so much to catch up on...I guess this happens when you spend a few days away from BB!
Loops ~ you poor thing. I can’t imagine the roller coaster you have been on the past week or so. Good luck with your scan tomorrow and I hope it finally provides an answer for you. I was so happy to read how you received an anonymous cheque in the mail. That was such a beautiful and generous act.
Bj*81 ~ so sorry to hear about your situation. Hope you are doing ok
Renee ~ bring on AF!! It's so crazy we should encourage AF to quickly begin another cycle!! Goodluck with the FET cycle. Also you should definitely consider acupuncture. So many people have recommended acupuncture. I recommend starting now if you can.
JBM ~ April is not that long! Be sure to look after yourself and relax so you are rearing to go for your next cycle. Goodluck!
Jilly ~ Goodluck with your transfer tomorrow! So happy for you that both eggs have fertilised. Are you transferring two?
Hello to everyone else I may have missed....hope you are travelling well in your cycles, TWW etc.
AFM – Booked in for my EPU tomorrow at 10am. ET planned for Friday. Last scan revealed only 5 follicles . Here’s hoping we can pull a miracle and collect 5 eggs and they all fertilise. I have the day off tomorrow and Friday for the transfer. Glad the transfer is on Friday to have the weekend to relax.
Thanks ladies, words cannot describe how appreciative I am of all of you.
Jilly and Melttc ~ GL tomorrow, will be thinking of you with FX and TX.
Im just waiting to see at present if the pain gets any worse. If it does i'll be straight to hospital. At the moment I think Im miscarrying. Im bleeding a lot and clotty but only period like pain. Still all horrible after what we have been through but at the same time I just want this nightmare to be over and I hope it is soon.
