Just a quick one as I went home in my lunch break and have to go back soon .
Bec, hopefully you catch that little egg this month, fx'd for you posting a BFP this cycle. The lovely perks of working as a teacher. I work in childcare and a few years ago I had a little fella that would just flip out and throw the furniture at us, tables, chairs, the whole lot.
Pumpgirl, I'm sure everything is going to be fine, must be exciting, knowing you're going to hear that little heartbeat soon.
Rhi, goodluck with the appointments, hoping it doesn't take long for your new cycles to begin and you find out what is going on with the m/c.
Wow Keli, 20 weeks sooo exciting must be feeling the little one tumble around in there.
Tammara, I'm sure you are going to be in fantastic hands for the delivery of your little girl, and nov isn't far away.
Sorry if I have missed anyone, just a quick one today as I have to go back to work, my lunch break is nearly over and I am at home. I am feeling a little s*** at the moment, one of the girls at work has found out that she is pg and they weren't even talking about TTC. AAAHHH I just don;t know anymore and I'm thinking why should I even bother with putting myself through all of this. Anyway, Bec for your table, I am still waiting for AF to start, hopefully will over the weekend or by early next week. I better be off. Babydust to all.
Pumpgirl, yey for bb’s growing and yey a scan on the 16th, cant wait for you to see that little heart beating, best feeling eva. Oh and try not to stress about the cramps, I had exactly the same thing at the start of this pg, I totally thought that AF was on her way just running a tad late, I had the cramps for weeks.
Jules, how very frustrating and confusing for you hun. Hope your next few appointments sort things out a little better for you.
Oh Bec, I do hope the abuse you are coping stops very soon hun, totally not fair for you! GL catching that egg.
Liz, yeah getting some good movement now which is the best thing. Just a constant reminder that bubs is growing nicely. I love it! As for the pg announcement at your work, arrrrrr I feel your frustration hun. I still can’t stand it when ppl tell me they are pg and weren’t even trying, or got pg on the first shot, they have no idea what we go through. Do keep trying though, it is totally worth the wait. Sending big hugs your way!
Hey I had an idea for you ladies. Reet has a ticker for her cycle down the bottom, not sure where she got it but thought if everyone could put one of them in their signature then it would makes things easy to keep track of, just a thought cos I know how confusing it gets.
Hope you are all well, GL to those catching eggs. Baby dust to all.
Xxoo
Hi girls!
I got my all my medical records from my old FS today and was having a bit of a look through them and picked up a few interesting inconsistencies. At both my first m/c and my 3rd, my progesterone was 1.9nmol/L. By the looks of it, that's very low, even for 4 weeks UTD? Does anyway know anything about progesterone? I am just wondering becasue my Dr never even mentioned anything?
Sorry for no persies,
Bec
Hi
I hope I am not intruding but I would love to get some advice/information from you guys. I have just started my first round of Chlomid (serophene). I am taking 100mgs and I am on day 4. This is the first step in what I hope will be a short assisted conception journey!
I have posted about my "issues" elsewhere on these forum pages but basically, I am 39 (biological clock ticking loudly - I have an 8 year old but have been trying for another for a couple of years now), I have PCOS, Adenomyosis, endometriosis (My FS suspects but not confirmed), etc, etc
I am seeing Dr Kate Stern at Melbourne IVF and she has been really good so far! She wants me to do three cycles of chlomid, then go straight into IVF. It has kind of happened in a blur so it is a little overwhelming.
The chlomid isnt as bad as I thought. Slightly queasy a couple of times but nothing bad. Reading some of the posts on this site and it seems 100mg is a high dosage. Did anyone else start on this??
I was also thinking it would be better to try more than 3 cycles before moving onto IVF. Has anyone got any advice around this??
Hi n2l and welcome! You would be most welcome in this thread. Many of us have been here for sometime, and all can offer you support and advice about clomid.
I'm glad you said Kate Stern is good becasue I'm waiting for my first appointment with her!
Most people start on 50mg, but by my second cycle I was on 100mg and I have been ever since, so I wouldn't worry. The chances of Overstim. are much lower on clomid than other fertility meds.
If clomid is triggering a good response, your FS might give you an extra cycle or two, but hopefully you'll fall pg in the first rounds and it wont matter!
Best of luck,
Bec
I have typed up two other posts but messed up in posting them - baby brain big time!
Bec my progesterone levels starting from about 4 weeks were:
25/2 - 9
1/3 - 21
7/3 - 31
they were low levels but i think this was due to ivf.
Rhi, hope you get some good results from your blood tests and they can give you some answers to your m/c and there is a simple solution to get your bub. Im going to TRY and post now
Thanks Bec! Yes, I am finding Kate good. She is direct and no BS. Which I like. She is rushed (obviously very busy) but I was referred to her by my oncological gyno - Professor Michael Quinn (from the Women's) and he is an angel so anyone he recommends must be good!
PS the BIG question....where did you find an other half who is "perfect in every way"???!!!!
Hello n2l and welcome to our thread Hoping you fall pg on Clomid and you don't have to worry about doing IVF. Sounds like your FS is on the ball. I was on 50mg on CLomid & the progesterone levels were good on that level so I stayed there but unfortunately didn't fall pg.
Bec - In relation to your q re: prog levels, I have no idea but I think that Dr Kate might suggest taking/inserting progesterone to sustain a pg if it is of a concern. I remember asking my OBS/GYNO about that & he said it's sort of a catch 22 b/c your prog levels start falling as soon as you start m/c, so if they check your prog levels it may be a not so correct reading anyway - if that makes sense. Sometimes it is too darn confusing :S
Keli - Hi, hope you are well & thanks for your thoughts
I got a copy of the FS letter that he sent my GP & it says he will be testing for recurrent m/s, so that is good to know.
