LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #3

[Bella_]

AF arrived yesterday morning with avengance so round one of clomid didn't work... starting round two tommorrow. I have heard you have a bgetter chance in round two is that true?

hey I just finished round 4 of clomid!!! It works really well for me just not happened yet fs reassures me everything fine. My friend took 2 rounds and got pregnant Ive noticed the clomid makes my cm almost absent and so i took robitussin and it seemed to work. Anyway I suppose it's now the 2 week wait for me...fingers crossed. Good luck hope it happens this time for you!!!!! Xx

Keli, I hope ur lap went well, do tell all the details as I have my lap next Thursday. Did the FS tell you how the op went on the day or do you have to go back to find out the details? I was so hoping I wouldn't have to have my lap but AF arrived yesterday so no NYE conception for us! I'm freaking out a bit as I've never had a general anaethestic, but a lady in my meditation class said to just do my deep breathing and I should be OK. I hope so!

I'm kind looking forward to having it in a weird way as hopefully it will give us some answers. I'm sick of being in limbo land and not knowing why we aren't falling pg.

Thinking of you all x

Hey Ladies,

So I’m onto day 4 of recovery now and I’m doing well. Just thought I’d give you an update of my procedure and what to expect for Mez Moz.

Had surgery on Thursday, I was first cab off the rank for the day which was great. Got to the hospital at 7:30am and I was on the operating table within an hour. Woke up an hour and a half later in a fair bit of pain only to be put back to sleep with more morphine, ahhhh my friend. Spent most of the day being woken up by nurses wanting to check on my wounds then drifting off back to sleep. They wouldn’t let me go home till I peed which too a while but by 4:30pm I was safely home in my bed.

I ended up with 3 incisions, they started with 2 but needed to do the third. My results: After me being very afraid that they were going to find lots of endo, they only found 3 small areas of it all of which they have now burnt off, none of which are believed to have been causing me any fertility issues, only pain. They then did the D&C (Dilation & Curette) and whilst only my right tube took the dye they are pretty sure that both my tubes aren’t blocked as there was no scar tissue. They said that sometimes your body just favours one of your ovaries rather than the other, it’s not to say that the other one doesn’t work its just that one works more often than the other. Lastly they decided to do golf balling (ovarian drilling) which they discussed with me prior to surgery. They said that they don’t know why it works but it is so effective that I may not need to take clomid anymore which would be fabulous. The drilling works for 6 months.

Hey Mez Moz, hope this info helps you out. Sorry to head about AF but at least this way you will know what is going on now. Yeah I didn’t think that I would get any results on the day as I have got friends that have had the procedure and they didn’t get their results on the same day but both of my surgeons came and spoke to me after my operation and I also asked my Nurses what went on and they were really good about giving me all the information. I have pictures to take to my gyno too. So I am having a follow up with my gyno on Feb 5th because they took some biopsy’s and I need to get the results from them but most of the other stuff I already know which is great cos otherwise I would spend the next 3 weeks stressing rather than relaxing. Oh yeah and I was also given 10 days off rather than the week that I was recommended originally cos they did more than they planned. Just thought I’d warn you, every time I think I’m ok hubby reminds me how much I can’t yet do on me own. He has just been wonderful, bought me flowers on op day, been making me dinner every night, cleaned the house (even mopped) on the weekend. Hey and I totally know what you mean about being excited for the surgery I was totally the same at least then you will have some answers. Good luck with it and please let me know how you go.

Hope everyone else is going well.

Tammara can’t be long now till your first counselling session, I will be thinking of you.

Jess85 where have you gone again, been missing you lately hope all is well.

Will give you all another update again soon, please feel free to ask any questions, I am at home bored out of my brain and totally over TV already, ha ha.

Good luck to all, talk soon,
Kel

hey keli, good to hear your doing well after it lets hope it gives your body the kick in the bum and gets you preggers.

Ive had one councelling session (last wednesday) im going for more this wednesday first session is me and hubby, then my egg donor and her hubby have a session then a group session then me and donor have meeting with nurse to explain the ins and outs of the procedure.

both me and my cousin have been feeling pretty anxious latel with some nerves thrown in. I think i am haveing some side effects of the pill, little cramping, bloating and im feeling a little queezy today for some reason - only thing i can put it down to is the pill but who knows.

Im off to watch a movie, take care ladies xxoo

Hi keli

Thanks so much for letting me know how your lap went. I'm glad I know a little more about what to expect, so thank you for sharing. And glad to know they use strong drugs for pain relief! I was thinking I might be able to teach my yoga class 5 days later but I might find a fill in just in case I don't feel up to it. I hope you feel much better as every day passes. It will be interesting to see what happens to our cycles post lap. No clomid for 6 months sounds great! Fingers crossed this lap is what we both need to get us UTD!
