Tammara - IUI - is where they insert his stuff into your uterus - that is the step before IVF - it is cheaper too.
IVF - my FS has an estismate of all costs on his website check it out :
Reproductive Medicine - Albury
I hope this helps as to some kind of guide to costs.
Thanks Becc
i just called monash ivf and the person i spoke to was not terribly helpfull. If i do just have the sperm frozen and then implanted i think it will be $1372 for the implantation (then you get medicare rebate) and the freezing is $132. So if this is correct then it is not too bad at all.
If i have to go through everything it will be in excess of $4500 (not including rebate) so even if i have to go down this path then it will be so worth it, and it gets cheaper due to the medicare safety net.
I think the best thing for me to do is book an appointment with my fs and if this month is not my month then have a good chat with him and see what he thinks
Tammara - I was so glad I went back to my FS yesterday - I got a lot of answers to a lot of things, which were up in the air. So it was good.
Like... I get extremely painful hips and back around certain times of the month, which previously I & FS thought was endo - but my doctor explained that there are apparently 3 types of women - ones who can't feel ovulation, ones who can and my case extreme sensitivity with ovulation. So thank goodness that was answered.
HI Girls
Just thought id pop in and see how we are all doing this month!
Im on CD16 and got a postive OPK last night and im having some pretty full on OV pains today so im hoping OV will be today!
Im feeling so good this month on the Clomid,no side effects at all and i mean none,its so much better taking them at night....
I will be testing on June 12th, not due to 16th but 12th is my birthday and i have the early tests so bring on a birthday BFP:D:D:D
Good luck everyone for this cycle,lets hope Clomid is our answer!!!!!!!!!
how is everyone going? it has been pretty quiet. hopefully that means everyone is travelling along nicely and not having any problems :)
nothing is changed with me, waiting on a call back from FS office to make an appointment to see him about IVF or implanting, hope i get a call soon.
Tammara - have to agree, it is very quiet on here.
ATM - I am just crusing along waiting for AF to arrive end of next week or something. I have no idea when that will happen.
Good luck for your next cycle 31becc, the dye did the trick for me, hopefully does the same for you. Can I ask a question, is there a reason why your de hasn't increased your clomid dosage at all? I was under the impression that it is consistently monitored and up after a couple of unsuccessful attempts?

i have an appointment with FS in about 2 weeks so fingers crossed i wont need to discuss ivf but if no such luck i will have a good chat with him and discuss my options and take it from there :)
Ella'smum - dr hasn't increased my dosage because the current dose is making me ovulate and I am releasing about 2 eggs a month from that. So it is working in that sense, it is after that, that is the problem. I will put that question to them though and find out.
Ellasmum - you got me thinking so I rang my FS - the reason is, is that I am definately responding to the medication ie having two dominent follicles and ovulating. So didn't need to put my medication up to a higher dosage.
That makes sense 31becc, thanks for the info.
Hi Girls
I hope everyone is having a good month!
I am now up to CD20 and im already starting to symptom spot. I think i OV CD16 or 17 so very early days just yet. I am having major cramps (but thinking that may be due to Clomid) TMI - very gassy and i woke up yesterday with alot of nasal congestion,which i had with last DD (first time this has happened whilst TTC) So its not much really but it has got me thinking but so has every other month for the past 10 months ha ha.....
Im trying to stay positive but its so hard,DH an di had a huge fight last night and he said i only have until July to be pg or thats it,wow that really knocked me for six. So im having a very down day today and to top it off a girl in my Playgroup had her baby yesterday and i have to go to hosptial today to visit,i used to get upset but i have had 3 friends have babies in the last month so i think i am immune to it now.
I hope you girls are having a much better month than me and we really need to see some Clomid BFPs, i need hope :pray::pray::pray:
Hey girls hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I wish i knew exactly what it felt like 100% when i ovulate i think i ovulated today i had a slight back ache well it wasnt really pain just felt it if that makes sence? and i felt slight crampy pain sort of like period pain not bad at all just felt it. does this sound like anyone else gets when ovulating?
Fingers crossed i am because hubby came home today so will be good timing i hope :)
Girls - what is happening to this thread - it has gone very very quiet.
Tammara - fingers crossed for you - enjoy the BDing!
Beckie - let us know how you go. Hope if it will be a BFP on Friday.
it has gotten very quiet, hubby has left again so im hoping he got the job done lol will know soon enough i guess. not going to stress out about it just take it as it comes
Hi Ladies
Yeah this forum has become extremly quiet, i hope everyone is doing ok?
Well quick update on me, well no BFP for me AGAIN. I had my BT today for prog and they checked HCG so not my month. :cry::cry::cry:
Ive had a nightmare of a month, ive had very sore ovaries to the point its waking me up, had US yesterday and was told i had OHSS and had to go to hospital for 3 days,what the? Spoke with my FS today and he said i probably dont have it and i have to see him tomorrow. WHat a rollercoaster....... :wall:
DH and i have decided no more CLomid as i have tried 2 cycles (i already OV) and it was just suppose to be a boost to help me and it hasnt,its just caused me more stress and worry so no more. We have actually decided to chill out and stop ttc and just start trying to relax,godive tried everything except that so i may as well give it a go hey?
I wish you all luck and will keep and eye and see how you area ll doing, i hope CLomid is your answer :pray:
Hey beckie
i dont think i have ever really felt myself ovulate - i sort of with i knew exactly if some pain i get is ovulation but also im thankfull that im not in pain like you were.
As for me no AF as yet - bet i get it next weekend. Im flying to spend the weekend with hubby so no doubt the timing will be terrible and spoil the fun lol
I had a FS appointment on 22nd but i cant make is cos i will be with hubby so i hope i can get another appointment soon and not have to wait another 3 weeks.
hope everyone else is going well and look forward to some BFP soon!
hey Girls,
Hope everyone is doing well & had a great weekend!
So.. I'm up to day 21, going for prog test this afternoon. I have an app with specialist on Thursday to discuss where we are at. This is my 3rd round of chlomid so i guess he will be telling me how many rounds i am allowed before our last option.. IVF...
Every month i can tell when i ovulate, last month i was in that much pain for hours, but this month nothing like that at all. I had a tiny bit of pain for about 2 hours but nothing like the past, so i'm not very hopeful at all.
I had a bit of a break down on Fri night to DH, Think it was just that time again when i needed to vent. I have come to realise that there is really not much hope for us naturally and i think it all just got to me, and i hate that i am giving up on it all. :(
Iwill stop there because i can feel all those emotions from the other night coming back again..
