Megan sweets, I know how frustrating and discouraging it can be after falling fairly quickly then nothing.... I fell first month with Sebastian and my other 2 angels (one of them on the pill mind you) and this time after 6 months of trying to no avail, I decided to do IVF as you know. My decision was based on age and more importantly emotional stability and I am so glad I did. The pressure was just getting too much and putting a big strain on my relationship with DH as I'd make him BD almost every day from cycle day 10 to at least cycle day 25 as I never knew when I was going to O as my cycles were very irregular after losing Sebastian. DH was getting to the point where he'd say "pleeeeease don't make me have sex with you!"
I hope these herbs that Bec suggested work for you hun otherwise it probably can't hurt to go to an GYN/OB and have a little check up. It will at least put your mind at ease and you can eliminate all the "what if" questions that are probably going through your mind right now.
Hi to all, have to rush to a meeting but will be back soon x
Thanks Diana. Your poor DH, I'm sure after that experience he won't be complaining for a long time IVF was obviously the right thing for you to do and look at you now, I find the whole process so amazing. I feel fairly confident that I can conceive naturally. I do believe that my cycle is just still out of whack after the loss. Given my luteal phase was 'acceptable' at 14-days last cycle for the first time is a good sign that things are starting to correct themselves naturally. I bought the B6 & Vitex today. I read that they cannot cause any harm, even if pg, so it is worth using them to assist. It is all very frustrating, but I am really praying that it helps me this cycle. It feels good to be at least doing something proactive. Fingers crossed.
Megan, I really hope those vitamins really help to put you back on track, fingers and toes crossed hun!!!!
Dee, sending you the stickiest of sticky vibes I can muster hun
Girls, have not been feeling all the best, feel a bit run down so I will try and post a little bit later. Plus I couldn't get on line yesterday so it's all too much for me ATM posting this from work.
Sorry I have been MIA. My modem has a virus so I am struggling to log onto the internet. First time in ages I have been able to get onto a website.
Hope you are all keeping well.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and so far everything seems to be going fine. Just my mental state that is hard to deal with. We have tried to find out the sex of our bub at last scan but bub had umbilical cord between it's legs so they couldnt tell us.
Beata, rest up as much as you can and get better soon sweets. You must be in prime health for your upcoming transfer in just a few short weeks! Not sure if the time has flown for you hun but I can't believe we are almost there. Seems like yesterday you went in for your operation - to me that is, I'm sure for you it's a different story!
Dee, fingers crossed this little embie is a super sticky one.
Theresa, nice to hear from you. WOW, almost 22 weeks! Where has the time gone?
I will be off-line for a while as I'm going in for my stitch on Friday and won't have access to a computer. Have decided to have tomorrow off and spend time for myself (grooming!).
I actually have to stay in hospital until at least Monday. Jo and Helen, your procedure was just a day surgery right? Not sure why my OB wants me to say in all weekend but said that's what he would prefer and he will scan me on Monday then decide whether I can go home.
A big hello to all our mammas and mammas to be and a huge amount of love and luck to our TTC-ers. Here's to some BFP very soon.
Just popping in to say :hi: and check on my pg & TTC friends. Hope everyone is doing well.
Hope you all had a lovely Mothers Day. I managed to get through it but it was much harder than I thought. I had convinced myself just to try to be 'normal' and keep busy. But it didn't really work. DH took me out for breakfast (very sweet) but we were surrounded by mums with babies EVERYWHERE! I guess that's to be expected in hindsight. Anyway, after that we just had a quiet day hiding from the world as I shed my tears in private.
Also, I was reading Berry and Bec's conversation about cycle lengths and vitex/chaste tree. I have also heard good things about vitex. The Fertility Doctor web site has lots of info about herbs and their use. There is even a 'recipe' for conception which includes other things like Robotussin cough mixture (for CM production apparently) on the baby and bump web site (try googling 'vitex recipe' for the link or I can PM it to you) and also some info on using vitex.
I am taking evening primrose oil for the first time this cycle to try to help with CM production (I've been a little hit and miss in this department in the past) and my TCM tells me it's compatable with the herbs she has me on, I just shouldn't take it after ovulation.
Anyway, best of luck ladies with the herbal remedies. They certainly have given me much better results than anything else, including IVF!
A big hi to everyone else. Sorry for lack of personals... have to rush off to the dentist (yay!). BBL
