Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September 08 #2

[nicjay]

Angel - Oh I'm so sorry I forgot to wish you good luck for your scan tomorrow - I hate how you can't see tickers when posting! Good luck! Are you doing an IVF cycle now? How does it work with the Clomid?? Hope all goes well for you

Thanks so much for the offer, I may well take you up on it. It's so good to have a couple of ladies in here that are doing IVF as well - I must admit I feel a bit funny sometimes in the LTTTC section because I already have a DD. I'm just finding that I'm worrying about every little thing, for eg. it took a while for the clinic to ring me the other day with the blood results so I was worried that it was going to be bad news Most of the other times it has been bad news the call has come later than normal. I'm really doing my best to try not to stress, but it is hard not to sometimes as I'm sure you know. I do feel like I go from appointment to appointment like you said. I also just feel like we have been trying for this second baby forever now and that nothing is going right God help me when I get pg again, I've really got no idea how I'll get through that. If only I could go back to the innocence I had when I was pg with DD.

I'm on 125 IU of Puregon, FS has started me on a conservative dose. I always had follicles on each of my Clomid cycles - a leading one and 3 or 4 others behind it, so he is sure I should get a good response to the FSH. I hope he's right! I'll just be so glad when we get to embryo transfer I'm not even really worried about the EPU, but the bad thing is that it will be at the same hospy that I had my D&C at Talk about some bad memories there.

Megsmum...... I know what you mean about the Long Term TTC.... absolutely lovely bunch of girls in there ..... but thanks to this crazy bunch in here..... well i m like my teenange son.... I just cant leave home so regardless of the fact that my TTC is nearly 5 years... i m still here..... besides... it depends on how you look at it... maybe 5 years isnt 'long term'

So when I finally leave this thread it will be to go to the PAML.

Thank You for your well wishes with my scan. Its at 7.50 tomorrow morning..... nervous would be an understatement. Having already done IVF, successful in one respect but unfortunately the twins didnt make it..... I told my NEW fs I wasnt in a hurry to do the full round of IVF again. Last time we did I scanned and picked up 10 good eggs..... 3 went to blast stage, 2 were good lookin blasts and 1 not so pretty..... the 2 good lookin ones (they must have taken after their mother ) were put back in and both stuck. The third... not so pretty duckling.... had to be let go as the FS thought it would not survive the thaw..... This time round I told my FS i would be keen to try IUI first before more IVF. He was all up for that and put me on Clomid. At the same time he sent DH for more tests..... (the results are in my blog....just so I dont bore everyone in here).... bottom line is...... DH s swimmers are not swimming.... some are floating and most are sinking...and the floaters are not pretty floaters..... so long description cut short.... ICSI is the only option.... ie the egg injected directly with the 'sinker/floater'.

So the FS decided that at the scan he would see how many eggs there are.... sort out a date for the trigger and then Egg Pick Up.... then from there we are looking at ICSI and then they are put back...... the good lookin ones.

It all is a bit of a shock to me and i really cant see why the FS didnt do the same thing last time.... I also already have children (19 and 16) but instead I was given full steam ahead treatment.... becasue of course... being the female it HAD to have something to do with my cycle regardless of history showing it was running like clockwork........OHHH SORRY... yep i caught myself.... I was being B1tchy wasnt I... Hmmmm ok... delete delete delete.... sorry....

Now as for your 125 pen..... that should be a low enough dose to not have to much of an effect on you.... mine was 450... and boy oh boy oh boy... hmm talk about hormone overload...... crumpy cow came out to play for lonnnnnng time

Now as for EPU... enjoy the sleep ...... it really is nothing... tiny cramping afterwards but nothing you havent already felt while your hormones were going crazy down there. As for WHERE it is.... I have a theory in life.... when a place has bad memories..... just keep going until you replace all of those bad memories with good ones...

Goodness i can go on cant i..... ok... thats enough from me

Hey ladies,

Thought i'd pop in and say hi

Am plodding along, nausea seems to have eased off a little (which scares the hell outta me!!) but is stil lingering.

Am 8 weeks today, dont know if i can survive another 4 weeks without knowing if everything is ok.

But i think i will have too, i was going to go back to doc's and ask for early scan, but i'm off on holiday in a week and half so dont think there will be much point as when i come back i'll be 12 weeks.

just have to keep that all is well and i think the holiday will do me the world of good.

Well, my temp has taken another dive, so screw the "good", I'll just say.... Morning girls!



Toccara--Look at you, you're so sweet... supporting me and wishing me a BFP when you've been so down lately! You're such a trooper--I hope you realize how strong and amazing you are!



Babyfever--Sorry I'm of no help in answering your testing questions either.... at only 8DPO it's probably just too early. Good luck!



Angel,Warrior of the Nuffs--That was one hell of a hug! It's egg scanning day!! Woot woot!! Sending lots of that they find lots of pretty little eggies!! It's like Easter today--we're going on an egg hunt! Can't wait to chat tomorrow (tonight, tomorrow... YKWIM!) and hear all the good news! Remember how useful Pill Girl and I were for your FS appt? We'll be there again with you in spirit--hey, this isn't the guy that mumbles is it? We'll have to pin a little microphone to his lab coat so we can hear what he has to say about your little eggies!



WTH--Playing "nurse" to DH, huh? Did that role include a cute, short, little nurse's uniform with a red cross on it? If you're going to play a role, you should always use it to your benefit! :goodluck2: with the Lucrin injection, IVF & PGD--I'm praying so hard for you to be blessed with your forever baby!

issy--:goodluck2: with POAS!! Hope you're surprised with a BFP!!



megsmum--We'll just continue to pretend that we're still cycle buddies, just cuz I like the sound of it! Glad to hear the nasal spray helped down-regulate your cycle! :goodluck2: with your FSH injections and Fri's follicle scan! for some good news!



fifi--Hope your impending holiday helps ease your concerns! It should at least help make the time go by a little quicker. Glad to hear the m/s is easing up, as well! If it were me, I'd probably be begging and bartering for an early u/s anyways, just to put my mind at ease! and



mollycat--There were no posts from you yesterday, missy! How's things going with you? Has AF officially packed her bags and left the building? Thinking of you always...
