30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[GettingBroody]

I know nothing about endo I'm afraid so don't have anything to add! Definitely bring it up with the dr or FS though and see what they say...

 

[MrsPTTC]

I got offered a lap by my FS as I have dyspareunia & get pain so he said the HSG might be too painful. Boy do I regret saying no, the lap could've got rid of my damn cyst. I know I got my BFP eventually but I do wonder if the cyst had something to do with the delay or my spotting. I read the recovery time is about 4 days.

GL aleja & broody, can't wait to hear your test results at the weekend x

Hey girls.

I called and talked to FS nurse a couple days ago. I asked her about my 2 issues:

1) Being dropped to 25mg Clomid. She said it's not a step backwards. The dr is worried about my lining and since I responded so well to 50 mg, they dropped me. Even after she talked about this, I still feel the same. It's less aggressive! I see some doctors do the Clomid and then...what estrogen? for the lining. I think because I read so much online I think I know more than the doctor, which of course I dont. So maybe I just need to trust what theyre telling me. But on the other hand, he cant care about this more than me!

2) Endo? She said it was up to me if I wanted to come in and talk to dr about it. I do not have painful periods, I never have. However, I have other symptoms and I've been sort of diagnosed with interstitial cystitis - years ago. It's a problem with the bladder lining. Anyway, I read online that endo and interstitial cystitis are called "evil twins" because many have both. I made appt. for 10/9. I THINK Im going to skip the next IUI another cycle until after Ive spoken to dr. Am I the only one who only deals w/ nurses for IUIs? I havent seen the dr since my consultation. Now that I'm typing this out, Im debating not skipping the IUI this month. Because the dr. knows I have I.C. and he didnt tell me ANYTHING about endo or laps. Wouldn't he have????

MrsG you got some tough decisions to make about the IUI. I'm not sure what I would do.. I guess you have to work out whether waiting an extra month is going to matter to you? On the other hand if you go ahead with the IUI and it doesn't work you may be more frustrated with yourself for not waiting ?
It seems like you have enough questions to warrant an FS consultation so it's good you made the appointment .. I think some FS start with minimal interventions before suggesting invasive testing. I'd say a lot of times it's the patient pushing for more tests because we get impatient. Perhaps because you had IC many years ago he doesn't see it as a problem ?

I don't think it's too weird About FN nurse managing the IUI. I only ever see my FS during consults or at the actual ET, the rest of the stuff is done by the nurses- however if I have a question I either email FS or the nurses ask him on my behalf

Broody how you going ? ?

MrsG - Have you tried Femara? Clomid thinned my lining. On CD13 my lining was only 4.6mm Not good at all. I was switched to Femara 2.5mg for my IUI and my lining was 8.9mm on CD13.

I also have only seen and talked to nurses since my 1st appt. That was the only time I have seen/talked to her. A nurse did my IUI and nurses always call me. I think it's pretty normal from what I've heard.

Sorry I don't know much about Endo at all!!

 

[GettingBroody]

I'm doing fine thanks - loads of pinching type cramps which I'm hoping are a good sign. They're always in the exact same place - one high on the left and one low on the right. Not sure of that means anything! It's been so long since I was in a 2ww that I've kinda forgotten what twinges I usually got on neg cycles! Was bold yesterday and did a sneakie test on a cheapie - bfn I was only 6dp3dt so even though it knocked me a bit I'm trying to stay hopeful...!

How are you feeling Aleja?

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry about the bfn broody I've no idea with IVF how quickly it's supposed to show up on a test?

Mrsg I don't really know what to suggest Hun, but I've heard a few people on BnB talk about being on 25mg clomid though

MrsG I only see nurses too. Have never met the Dr at the clinic. I know he looks at the notes and chooses next steps but the nurses are the only ones to talk to us. Which annoys me actually.

 

[aleja]

Hey broody Ahh it's hard to not think about the twinges .. Each of 2ww have been different so its hard to tell what is progesterone or not. Last FET I had AF cramps days in advance this time nothing so far . I could technically test this weekend but i think I will wait a few more days..

But for you 6dp3dt is waaayyy to early !!! Wait a few more days I think .

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aleja is it testing for you this weekend? x

 

[GettingBroody]

Wow MrsP! 15 weeks already - I can't believe it!!

[GettingBroody]

Thanks girls!! I am honestly picking the test up every 2 mins to make sure the lines haven't disappeared!! My official test date for the clinic isn't til Friday so will keep testing until then and all going well I'll be going in for first scan 2 weeks after that. Soooooooooooo excited!!!!! EDD is June 4th...

 

[MrsPTTC]

I must've used about 20-30 tests in the first week or 2 broody! its lovely watching them get darker! June is a lovely time of year for a birthday, half way between Christmas. How many eggs did they transfer again? x

 

[GettingBroody]

They transferred 2 - one strong one and another that hadn't grown in over 12 hours so we'll see!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

So exciting! It sounds like there'll only be one but you could have a nice twin surprise! x

 

[GettingBroody]

Just as long as its not triplets!!!

 

[cupcakesarah]

Broody omg so exciting, congratulations. We seem to be having a run of BFP's at the moment!!!!!
