My FS said that it was enough to show that I had ovarian cysts or something wrong with my pituatry gland. The cysts were ruled out when I had the u/s also.
Who knows.....
I'm not taking clomid this month and probably won't bother going back on it as I'm pretty sure I was already ovulating beforehand.
Hmmm......what is going on with our bodies D???? We will get to the bottom of this I'm sure of it and will have two adorable babies in our arms very soon we just have to try and remain positive and not give up!!!
-
I didn't even see your comment in regards to the prolactin levels...must have been typing ;)
Well when I first had the blood test I was fairly stressed with starting a new job etc, I excercise a little (very little...:lol:), have no idea what they mean by "nipple stimulation" and I do sleep fairly well...so I think I'm going to go with stress...maybe that is why the prolactin levels were slightly higher????
-
Hey again
Maybe with all the BDing whilst TTC there may be increased nipple stimulation?? :lol: More sleep than usual may contribute and definitely stress when starting a new job!
-
Who knows?? Perhaps if I am getting some unwanted "attention" from DH I should use the excuse "You are elevating my prolactin levels"....:lol: (its sounds better than "I've got a headache")!!
Will keep you updated as to how I go with these "herb" drinks I've been told to take...Plack :p

Hey D,
How are u going? You've been very quiet. Is everything ok? Hav u been to ur new fs as yet? How did that go?
It's coming up to that time again and I'm really becoming quite anxious...I'm sick of doing this I really am.
Talk soon:)

Hi Rara
I'm going good - officially having the month off TTC and have just returned from a nice two day break in Sydney. Off to the Sunshine Coast tomorrow for the long weekend. Bliss!!
My new FS appt is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting a second opinion on everything.
It has been wonderful being off the clomid this month - I definitely wouldn't have coped with this month emotionally if I had taken it. My receptionist at work has resigned and DH is in the process of buying a new business. Stressful time thats for sure.
All that said, I haven't o'd yet this month so whether I can stay off the TTC bandwagon is another thing. It is nice not having to BD so much, DH is currently refering the lack of it to 'being in a drought'.:)
Good luck to you this month, are you around O time too? Fingers crossed!!
-
Sounds a little stressful for you especially starting up a new business etc but it is good to hear that you are taking a bit of time off and having some fun at the same time. I love the sunshine coast. We are going to the blue mountains so that is going to be really nice...though still fairly cold this time of year!
I think I will be Ov early next week (Monday perhaps??)...I go to my fs in 2 1/2 weeks so am looking forward to getting the show on the road again then! Brian & I went to our GP last week and got some Cialis. She was really nice about it and totally understood. I can't believe how expensive it is though!
Glad to hear you are okay. Look after yourself & have a great weekend!

Hey D,
How did ur fs appointment go?
Ov is well and truly over 4 me. Now in the dreaded TWW. Got a bit of BDing in which was good though it became a little bit painful by Monday....really really hoping that my fs will allow me to have a laprascopy asap to find out the cause!

Hi Rara
FS appt on Friday was a little disappointing in that he suggested not bothering with any more IUI and going straight to IVF. I spent over an hour with him and he was very thorough in his explanation of 'unexplained infertility'. One thing he said could be a contributing factor for me was tubes that were not necessarily blocked but had very fine adhesions that would let fluid (dye) flow through but would block the passage of sperm and even if sperm managed to get through a fertilised egg wouldn't make it back down. He also questioned why I didn't have a hysteroscopy performed last year when I had the lap and dye studies?? Mentioned possbility of uterine adhesions, fibroids causing implantation issues. He wants us to start completely over with all our tests repeated, some of which I have never had done like pelvic ultrasound and DH SA redone and day 2-5 fertility hormones for me.
I am still thinking about it all, luckily this month I have had other things to distract me so I haven't dwelled on it too much.
I just read your other post re painful BD'ing, sometimes I get that too and it has been explained to me (if all other possiblities are ruled out) as around o time the cervix and ovaries are more sensitive because of swelling and position of cervix. Also, increased BDing can just be like exertion of any other muscle and pain can be experienced during and after.
My fingers are SOOOOOOOOO crossed for you this month, hope the TWW passess in a flash!
-
Thanx sweetie...
Did you manage to hold on to your non TTC status this month? I would love to have the strength to be able to do that but every time ov time comes around I always cave.
How frustrating to have to go through all of that again! Perhaps IVF would just be the easiest and less stressful way for you if they just aren't able to find the cause. It's a very big step however and a little expensive, though it would be so worth it in the end!
That's interesting in regards to BDing...and comforting at the same time as it gives me a little more hope for this month..
I will let you know how I'm going later in the week.
Take care :hug:

Hey D,
Just popping in for my weekly check up. How are u? I'm feeling okay. No different but not anxious or stressed so that's a relief.
Hope u are ok :D
-
Hey D,
Beginning to feel worried about you. I hope you are ok. I won't bother you any more after this thread but just thought I would send you a msg to let you know that I'm still thinking of you.
Is everything going well with the new business? Are you going to TTC this month again? Have you decided what you are going to do re: IVF?
Take care D

Hey Rara
Sorry I have been MIA for so long - I have been absolutely flat out training two new receptionists at work as well as DH's new business which has taken up all our evenings and weekends for the last month!! Everything beginning to settle down though, except for a quick trip to Sydney this Saturday. :-)
I have not been actively TTC this last two cycles, I wouldn't mind if it happened but I have stopped temping and looking for fertile signs and just gone with the flow. Hasn't resulted in preg which is OK. DH and I decided to let it go for a couple of months while we get the rest of our lives sorted and then MAYBE consider IVF or third IUI???
So sorry I took so long to get back here - amazing how priorities shift so fast hey!
Hope all is well with you???

Hello!!!
No worries matie...was just worried about you. I'm having a lap in about 2 1/2 weeks. DH & I haven't been TTCing this month and we don't mind too much either. Though I am very aware when I did O etc. Starting up a new business can be very hectic but I am pleased that you have a distraction from TTCing for a while. It gives u a break.
If you want to chat just go into my TTC journal as I don't tend to come in here very often anymore.
Take care sweets xxoo
