Hi everyone,
Porsche - I have taken your advice & got the script for Clomid so I took the first one last night. When do you officially know if you are pg? (properly pg IYKWIM?!)
N2l - *Hugs* I get my hopes up all the time but I think it is to try to stay positive rather than pessimistic also. It's a tough gig when you are secretly hoping that this will be the automatic 'fix' to your infertility issues. I know that is how I felt once put on Clomid, then when we didn't fall pg, I thought the laparoscopy would solve the issue (well it sort of did) but now we are looking down the barrell of IUI and for me I feel like we are so close but so far - IYKWIM? Anyway, didn't want to load you with my feeling, just an insight & letting you know that you are not alone. I (we) totally get it
Kris - Gawd I hate being at the mercy of some medical practitioner who doesn't give a damn about the emotions you are going through, just medical science results to determine what to do.....Gosh I am in a venting mood aren't I?! Anyway, it sounds like you are Oing late? I had minimal success with the OPK's too, so perhaps ditch them and tune into your body - sounds like you are doing that anyway. If you are up for it, keep DTDing you might catch that egg! I hope you can get some sort of direction soon. An u/s would be able to determine if you are about to O or have O'ed - just a thought.....
Shan - FX for you. GL with the 'new' diet. I soooo need to get back into it. Apart form having a few social events on the next few weeks, should try to lose more prior to starting IUI......
Mel - At first I would have assumed it was possible implantation 'bleeding' but since you mentioned no +OPK yet then it probably isn't.... I don't have spotting during my cycle, so I can't give you any advice, sorry. Best of luck catching that egg!
Bec - Thanks so much for your support, I know I have been a truly crappy virtual friend atm, but you understand/get it & I am glad I haven't offened you & hope I haven't offended anyone else.
I assume you are going to keep ttc in the meantime? Or are you going to take the pressure off a bit until you go back to the fs? I know how you feel about the weight being an immediate issue. My FS assumed that I had put on weight after DD, but no I actually am lighter in kg's & smaller in clothes so I know that weight is not the only factor for my secondary infertility issues.....it must be a common factor alot of the time, so that is maybe why they assume?? I understand the issues and heartache trying to lose weight. I actually think I self-sabotage sometimes but don't know why.... Anyway, you can only give it your all & if the weight doesn't budge, it doesn't budge. I read in another thread that a couple of the gals were doing IVF & used Calorie King as a guide to keep in check their food intake but also for low GI - they had PCOS. I think it was Butterfly Warrior (?) who said that she believed that the low GI helped improve her egg quality. Best of luck for this month.
Liz - Sounds like a very promising cycle. I wondered about the trigger shot if it hurt more than the other injections. The FS nurse assured me it isn't any different but I suspected otherwise! GL catching that egg. Do you have to DTD three days in a row? That is what we were told to do after the trigger shot.... Happy anniversary too. Hope you have a great time at the Gold Coast.
Better go, am at work and one of the managers keeps looking over at me typing away furiously! Pity I don't type so enthusiastically for work! lol
Have a great weekend all.
