hi guys,

Porsche- your plan sounds good. Does DP get to come home during that time away at all? I'm based in Melbourne so QLD might be a little far to travel to see the specialist. (It'd be a great chance to have regular holiday though!) I hope the last dose of clomid does it though, and you don't need IVF, but whatever is the best option hey? GL.


Hi everyone else!

AFM: well I took DH with me to my appointment with the FS today so I had the courage to say what I wanted to say. When I told FS I've just had my third m/c he said it was probably just bad luck! I'm not wearing that. I asked about PCOS and he said the chances were a little bit higher of m/c with PCOS, but metformin probably wont help. I said I'd like to try it and he gave me a script at least. He has also asked me to move onto Gonal f which is injectable meds. I'm happy to give it a go, but I don't know how it'll make a difference since clomid always made me o and that's what this new stuff does too. Has anyone else been on Gonal f? (Tammara I heard it was an IVF drug?)
He also gave me a blood thinner thing to take after I o, becasue he thinks that is the problem. He said I was going to rattle with all the meds, but I don't care!
So I at least feel as though I've got some new things to try, but I'm still going to change FS I think. I just don't think mine is on the ball with PCOS.
Gosh that's a lot of writing; sorry!
Now I have to wait untill my levels are back to normal to start the gonal.
Hugs to all,
Chat soon,
Bec
Hi Ladies

No DH doesn't get to come home which is why we decided on straight to IVF. That way if we need to go down that path hopefully we can get some frosties so I can continue on whist he is away.

If I really needed him too come home he would but as you say FX the stupid clomid can help out again. I just have this feeling we are waisting our time with it. But it's what DH wants to do and I really can't blame him I mean IVF is expensive and if we can get away with the much cheaper alternative then I can't complain. But in saying that if we do do IVF then I will most certainly push for 2 embryos implanted back. I'm not mucking around any longer. Time is short and I'm heading toward 32 which apparently when your fertility starts to deteriorate.

If your not happy with your FS then change. You have every right to do what YOU feel is best. YOU need to be comfortable with the treatments you want. I'm glad you have some more options now. Maybe they will work? They say a change is as good as a holiday ( you know what I mean).

It doesn't make it less frustrating though.

PS I think I start metformin when we start IVF.
