Wannababy - I have heard great things about vitex helping with luteal phases. Maybe look into that? Other wise an FS *may* suggest progesterone???? I would be wanting to see the FS as I tend to agree with Nothing2lose. You need a Dr who really knows what to look for etc....
I've been stalking Tammara's November thread and I read she was being induced on the 10th and bubs being born 11th. So I'm hoping she's holding that little girl in her arms by now.
ShanShan - I haven't used primolut so I don't know what the SE are. Sorry.
Hi to all the new girls and a GBH to all our regulars. I think it's time to get off the merry go round and hear of some BFP.
AFM - We are planning on telling the family this week end. We are now 15 weeks 3 days and still only my Mum and my MIL & FIL know. I don't think we can hold out any longer because I'm going to get a bump lol. We'll a bigger one than I have now. I can't hide it forever but I can hide it for a little longer. We haven't even told my kids yet. Very naughty I know. Hope you all have a great week end!
I am definitely getting the referral and seeing I know what to expect, I don't want them to take a passive approach, I want the full hands on experience! Scans, blood tests and maybe even some trigger jabbing! I will demand that they do the all these things and work out WTF (excuse the french) is going on, because I am sick of the laid back "it will happen sometime this millenia" approach! *Takes a deep breath*
Okay, so those Sydney-ites - (in a Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "who is your FS and what does he do?"
I have heard great and not so great things about Sydney IVF, but also heard that Westmead Private is cheaper and better?? ANY advice or experience(s) that you have to share is appreciated!! Thanks girls
Hey WBM - I used Dr Bowman at Sydney IVF - although I didn't do IVF, I had assumed that was our next step (he was the one who monitored me on Clomid). He is absolutely brilliant, not easy to get into though. I also have another friend who used him for her successful IVF baby last year - and she raves about him. My sister used Dr Alison Ghee (from memory), she shares an office with Dr Bowman. She has had two successful pregnancies through SIVF.
FYI - I have a friend who used IVF Australia, although she did conceive I don't believe they are as good.
Good luck!
Hi Everyone
Just thought I would pop in as I will be joining the Clomid journey next cycle as well. Have just had my first appointment with my Ob/Gyn and he has given me a script for Clomid to start next cycle as I was to late to start this cycle by the time I seen him. He did examine me and found nothing of concern at my first appointment and DF had his SA as well and his swimmers are fine as well. We are praying that the Clomid does the trick for us so I won't need to have my tubes checked, but if that's what has to be done for us so be it. Not sure what to expect with the Clomid, my DR has put me on 2 tablets a day from CD5-CD9 then a BT at CD21 to see if I O or not. Can't wait to get to know you all in here and hopefully give you all a bit of support along the way.
How does everyone keep up with all the news!? I have trouble keeping track of anything more than 3 posts ago! Here goes:
Pumpgirl-Congratulations! (sorry if im a little late!) and thankyou, it does give me hope!
RhiChiChi-I haven't found clomid too bad. It sux you had no luck on it, fingers crossed for the IUI. I have looked into IUI, just incase.
Becnxavi- hope your feeling better soon, i hate waiting to find stuff out!
N2l-Looks like you have a fun weekend planned. Let's hope it's a lucky one
ShanShan- I have a script for primolut, but i haven't used it yet. I actually had AF when i saw my GYN and he gave me the clomid script so i started straight away. I don't think the SE are that bad because he didn't mention anything about it to me, only clomid SE.
Wannababymumma- Good on you! You tell them. I hope you can get some answers asap!
Clairesmummy- Welcome, i have just started clomid. Advice (as from ladies in here) take them at night, then hopefully you won't get any side effects. Oh and use preeseed (sperm safe lube) heard good stuff about it,i am using it also. Good luck!
Phwew! I think thats everyone? Gosh i feel exhausted!
AFM- I called Monday for my BT results. My GYNO said my progesterone was at 13, but i was having strong pains a couple of days before my BT. He said that he is confident that i ovulated because i took my tablets late (days5-9) so it was probably late. I have also had lots of CM since Monday when all cycle i have had none, is that a sign? Im CD28 today and no sign of AF, but i have no idea how long this cycle will be either
HI guys,
Porsche- I can't believe you've managed to wait so long to announce, but I get it! I'm so excited for you! ENjoy telling everyone
I can't remember who asked about primolut. I've taken it quite a few times, and haven't really had any side effects except for a more painful period. Usually it's abit lighter too. It's not too bad.
AFM: I still forget to ring and get my BT results, but I figure whaty will be will be, so I'm not stressing about it. I'll probably ring monday, becasue if I did o then I'll be finished TWWing by then and I can get a BT if AF doesn't turn up.
I'm still feeling awful so I'm offf to bed.
Hope everyone else is well,
Bec
I went over to the hospital on thursday at about 1am they decided to keep me in over night to see dr in the morning and broke my waters at abou 10am ish and contractions started from then up untill about 6am friday, unfortunately i only got to 3cm in the whole time very frustrating but in the end i had an epidural and that helped heaps. So we ended up having a c section and he was born yes i did say HE, what a shock it was when the dr said "he is a whopper".
His name is Dylan Leslie
weight 9 pound 12!!! no wonder he wasnt coming on his own
measured 51.5 cm long
head was 38 cm i think
So far ive been able to give him 3 feeds and expressed a couple for him.
Im feeling ok considering, dad has been absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! he is a natural.
I cant wait till each and everyone in here feels the love and joy that i hve been feeling, your time will come and that wait will mke it extra special xxoo
