LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #3

[Keli]

Morning Girls,

Yet again it has been a while for me on here. I’ve been off work for the past couple of days as I have a rash on my legs, I’m allergic to something in my new garden and I’ve got no idea what, oh fun fun!

Oh Tamarra you poor thing, do try to cheer up love, this stress is not good for you. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday, hopefully IVF is the answer for you, it was for Frustrated remember! Hope you are feeling a little better today after your chocolate pig out. We do understand though, this road is a hard one, I’m confident we will all become stronger because of it. Also, thanks for the info on the ovarian drilling, see…you are able to teach us all something which you wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.

Where are you Frustrated? How’s it all going?

Bella, any news on the preggo test yet?

Welcome Porche, I am booked in for a Lap in Feb 2010, so you will have to let me know how yours goes, unless you’re UTD first that is.

Hey Jess, so what did they do about your cyst love? Did they remove it?

As for me…well I am enjoying my time off at the moment, I think it was just what I needed. Whilst I was very hesitant to take time away from TTC as I hate wasting time, I do feel that it has really helped, and who knows…I think I actually ovulated this month anyway (that would be the first time ever unassisted) so I should know by late next week.

Good luck to you all girls, hope the silly season is keeping you all pre-occupied.

Love Keli xxoo

Thanks everyone, im good today think i just needed to have a melt down and get it all out.

I am looking forward to talking to DR monday about ivf and looking at my options. Im thinking i wont be able to concieve with my own eggs unfortunately because they are just not being stimulated but my incredibly generous cousin said she will donate hers - she has two children and had no probs concieving and is done baby making and im very lucky to have had my sister and sister in law offer too. Sister has PCOS and had trouble concieving so my cousin is the best bet.

So with hearing her generous offer last night makes me feel heaps better.

Hope i get it like frustrated

Hope everyone else is going great.

Hi Keli

I will def let you know how my lap goes. But I'm hoping I get UTD! I'm going to give it my all next cycle so at least I know we did all we possibly could!

I would love to have some time off! I'm soo exhausted all the time. Work and TTC and all the other stuff like LIFE!

Hope all the Xmas parties are keeping you all busy!!!

Hey Guys,

Sorry been so flat out havent even had a chance to come on and read whats happening.
Tammara dont give up, ivf doctors are miracle workers, it is such a long hard process but its all worth it in the end. Been thinking of you.

So i'm just over 11 weeks now, everything is going well, still the occasional nausea and tiredness but over all pretty good. Go for 12 week scan next week, im so scared that something is going to be wrong, im guessing that is normal after trying for so long, we just expect things to go wrong. Dh has been counting down the days till we get to see our bubby..

Been thinking of everyone and hoping to come back to some good news. Dont give up coz it will happen, just waiting for the right little bubby for each and everyone of you.

Hi ladies

Well my 2ww is pretty much over as I started spotting today and had some light cramps, which means AF is on her way with more torturous cramps to come. I'm feeling very emotional and fighting back the tears...I guess you all know this feeling! I've just booked in to see my FS next Thursday to schedule my lap... I've never had one before so I'm a bit scared.

I've been studying Tibetan Buddhist teachings as part of my yoga course and typically today was the day I was learning more about 'attachment' (yes universe, I'm trying to learn!!!). In a nutshell, Buddha teaches that attachment brings suffering because nothing lasts forever, so if you are attached to something it will inevitably bring you pain. This has made me realise how attached I am to having a baby - if I wasn't so attached I wouldn't be an emotional wreck each time AF arrives. But how to let go of this attachment and be at peace with whatever happens in life??? That is the hard part! Anyway, sorry if I'm sounding like a freaked out nut, but all this philosophy stuff is coming at a time when I'm really starting to question how hard I should be 'trying' to conceive. Perhaps it's not meant to be my journey???

Sorry ladies, PMT is obviously getting the better of me at the moment. Time to indulge in chocolate, wine and coffee! At least I can safely have a few champers over xmas and new years.

My fingers are crossed for you all, and great to hear your words of encouragement Frustrated. Good luck with the scan, I'm sure it will be fine and you will see your precious little miracle - what a great xmas present!

Hi Ladies,

Oh Tamarra dont stress about the melt down, this is what this site is for after all. Wow what an amazing gift from your cusion, she must be a really special person. Who better to get your eggs from. Good luck for Monday.

Hi Porche, yes even tho I am off Clomid for the month I am still exhausted, it must just be the silly season. Good luck for next cycle, fingers crossed its a new years gift.

Thanks for the update Frustrated, how excited your get to see your little jelly bean soon.

Oh Mez Moz I'm so sorry to hear that, are you sure your AF is def coming? Could it be implatation? You dont sound like a nutta at all, I like your train of thought, I try to think that myself but it can be hard sometimes.

I'm still waiting, today is day 27 and although there was no Clomid this month I am still hopefull. Have been super tired this past week and also super hungry, but I never can tell :-)

Love to all, have a great festive weekend.

Keli xxoo

hi Ladies,

I had bad news over the weekend, my montlies came on Saturday i knew it though, but the hope was still hanging on which i tell myself everymonth not to keep em so high but i always do.. they came on my 30th day, like clock work..
Me & hubby are having this month off, which i think we both need, we are both going to my specialist app next Wednesday, i want her advice about Cysts & some other tests that i want to ask her about.

Hey Keli, ill speak to FS & see what she says about Cysts, hows your time off going? its hard to be unhopeful right?

Tamara- its great you have people around who are so willing to help! i really only have my sis i can talk to about all this. Can i ask what would that procedure be? using some one elses egg?

Good luck to you all xx

Jess

Hi Ladies,

Its been a while! I've just been reading up on all your posts, so much has happened.
I've had a set back, clomid is no longer an option. I have my first appointment with Dr Derek Lok tomorrow at Syd IVF. Has anyone had any experience with him??

I'm pretty nervous about it.
