30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[cupcakesarah]

Trying to ignore it all!!! Painful boobs though, but I think that's the progesterone tablets/pessaries. Glad they are being cautious.

Broody, I hope you go home soon!!! Take care of yourself and your baby!!

Hello ladies

Broody, hope alls well Hun. Did the docs find a cause for the spotting? Hopefully you will be given the all clear and head home soon. Take it easy initially! Sounds like you're in good care. Big hug.

Cupcake, hope you're doing ok. Good luck for test date! Hope you're finding a way to be relatively relaxed. I imagine this to be nerve wracking.

Aleja, how's bump? What's the latest?

Mrsp, you're about to pop!!!!!!!! Time flies! Tell us more about everything Hun. What have you bought? How are you both feeling etc.

Lily, hi!

Brassy, saving you till last as I've done extensive research on iui. First of all, I'm sorry to hear you and dh are not having a good experience with your fs. Are you in the uk? Bid this specialist on the Nhs or private? For me, I wasn't eligible for free Nhs care but I could use their facilities for iui, which worked out cheaper than fully private. However, the Nhs only scanned on mon weds and fri. They could not do inseminations over the weekend. They also only offered one insemination whereas pvt they did back to back inseminations (so two days in a row to maximise chances). The price difference wasn't huge. I think getting a place you trust is key. Definitely doing the right thing with a second opinion.

I don't think it's a problem having only one follie. My fs said they won't do iui if I have more than 2 or 3 as the risk of multiples is dangerous. The lining is key however and perhaps the thin lining you have is attributable to clomid.

I took 6 months of clomid (50mg) without iui and it didn't work for me. I know it can do great things but for me, my issue wasn't no ovulation. Instead, I found my periods got super light so I suspect my lining was thin and my doc said I prob didn't ovulate on clomid at all. I've been recommended low dose injectables and I think the success rates much higher in that. How many tries are you doing on clomid? I'd prob discuss the injectables with your new fs and get his/her views.

Good luck brassy! It will happen for all of us!!!!!!!!!

Aw broody hope you get out soon!

Thanks for asking mk, we're both great, I finished work today til jan 2014! Was very weird leaving & got some great pressies. Bump is still smallish for 37 weeks but its definitely quite a bit bigger than it was a few weeks ago. What have I not bought?! Oh yes haven't got a travel cot yet! We went for the quinny buzz 3 wheeler pram in black with additional off road front wheel (for dog walking,) got the mothercare summer oak nursery furniture set & mamas & papas once upon a time soft furnishings. The Moses basket it just a cheap one MIL got from tk maxx but its great, was only £18! Haven't packed my hospital bag yet!

Hope you are all well. Mk what's next for you again & when?

[GettingBroody]

Morning girls! Quick update - home from hospital Still spotting a small bit but they've checked everything out and all seems fine so they were happy for me to go home because I live so nearby. I'm to take the week off work to relax, not on bed rest but must just take it easy. Back up to the hospital Tuesday week for check-up...

 

[MrsPTTC]

Great news broody! Bet you're glad to be home! you just relax now x

 

[cupcakesarah]

Hi ladies, for anyone who's had IVF, did just get really bad tummy ache in the tww, my tummy is really painful around my ovaries mostly on each side and I'm having trouble breathing in deeply.

Glad your home Broody

 

[GettingBroody]

Hey Cupcake, I don't think I ever had trouble breathing but the night before my bfp I did get the most awful pains... They continued for about a week but never as bad as the first night. Think it was just everything growing and stretching. Keeping everything crossed for you. Good luck testing tomor!

 

[cupcakesarah]

The breathing might be my asthma I suppose

 

[cupcakesarah]

Holy moly i got a BFP, couldn 't wait any longer so did it at 5.30am, it's faint but definitely 2 lines. Will repeat tomorrow to check. Don't know how to put a pic on.

 

[mk8]

Yayyyyyyy! Well done cupcake!!!!!!!!!

 

[GettingBroody]

Ohmygod!!!!!!!!! Cupcake that is the most fantastic news!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This thread looks like its having a very lucky month!!! Is your beta today or tomor? What did DH say? Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!

 

[GettingBroody]

PS just goes to show that the number of eggs you get doesn't matter - quality over quantity!! Oooh, I wonder how many stuck?! Is it twinnies in there?!!!!

 

[cupcakesarah]

Not heard of having a beta test, clinic said not to test till Friday. I started to read about beta tests and now I know why I should have waited till Friday I case it's a false positive from the Pregnyl (trigger shot). I did the trigger on the 9th Feb at 11pm so surely that has gone by now??? It's over 14 days from when I last had any drugs which is when I read you should wait for testing with Pregnyl. I hope I'm not going to disappoint myself by testing before they said. What do you think??

 

[GettingBroody]

I'd say it's highly highly unlikely that the trigger is still in your system. Mine was gone 3 days after ET (I tested to check, stark bfn). Are youin the UK? I just assumed you were in the US for some reason. I'm in Ireland, we don't do betas here either. I just had to take a hpt 2 weeks after ET and phone my result into the clinic. That was supposed to be on a Friday but like you I got my bfp on the Sunday before. Looks like there are lots of similarities between us!!! Keep testing just to see those lines getting darker but I'd say you're fairly safe in saying !!!!!!

 

[brassy]

Great news cupcake!!! So, it does HAPPEN! Hope you have a great pregnancy ahead!
xx

 

[cupcakesarah]

Yeah I'm in the UK Broody, there are a lot of similarities I agree!! Same for me hpt due 15 days after embryo transfer which is this Friday. Fingers crossed, thanks for all the congratulations, I think I'm in shock. Couldn't get back to sleep his morning after doing the test.

 

[GettingBroody]

I'd have been very surprised if you could!!

 

[MrsG2010]

Congrats cupcake Sarah !! Looks like you're at ttc 27 months just like me !!
