30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[GettingBroody]

Brassy - wow, she sounds like a lovely person Some people have no idea how lucky they are!! Did you tell your acupuncturist you'd stopped taking the herbs? I told mine yesterday that I want to take a break for a while (need to start saving my money for baby purchases!) - felt a bit mean, as if I was breaking up with him, lol

Yes, Broody, you are right. People often do not appreciate things!
I didn't tell him , but I didn't say that I took them...He didn't ask. H e just asked me if I wanted a new prescription and I said better no for now...He will be away for the next three months or so and I will be having sessions with his sister who doesn't do herbs, so problem solved for a while...

My guy said that his biggest disappointment has been that ladies who achieve pregnancy usually forget about him and don't even send him pics of their babies....

 

[GettingBroody]

Oh I'll definitely be sending a photo! His waiting room has a lovely notice board covered in photos of babies My fertility clinic doesn't which I think is an awful pity...

Hi ladies just quickly checking in to say hi.

Aleja- sorry to hear it was painful but hope it works! How does it help exactly? Sending you positive thoughts.

Broody- good to see little one grow! Have you had a scan yet? They do ivf scans a but earlier right?

Hey brassy!

Hey everyone else.

I'm chilling at home tonight with tv

 

[brassy]

Hi girls!
Temperature started going downhill today. I have all pre-AF symptoms so it is a matter of hours. Tomorrow the latest she will be here. I also took a test this morning, another bfnothing. What a disappointment. All this surgery for nothing?
I went to the doc yesterday to get the referral for dh's second sa. Waiting room full of pregnant ladies...I can't stop thinking that we are nice people, I don't think we've done something to deserve this...
Sorry for the bad energy, but it's one of those days...

 

[GettingBroody]

Sending so many Brassy...

 

[aleja]

hi gals,
brassy you are right, there is no explanation for why us and not them. i try to just put it down to pure and simple bad luck. i guess other people has other tribulations to deal with in their lives too?

the endo biopsy is to hopefully help implantation. there is research that says that injuring the endometrium in the cycle before IVF or FET will create blood flow to the endo while it heals and thus making it more baby friendly in the treatment cycle. If you google Endometrial biopsy and IVF you will find all sorts of stuff about it. Im willing to try it otherwise its back to ICSI cycle no#2 for me

i have a job interview on Friday so this is keeping my mind off TTC.

 

[MrsG2010]

Morning gals. Just checking in. I'm nearing the end of my TWW. Thankfully. I went and had my "Day 21" blood work done last Thursday. Haven't heard back from the doctor yet. I'm not really too concerned. Unfortunately my one egg and DH's 1.4 million sperm have left me with little hope.

aleja, sounds like an interesting procedure and I certainly hope it helps!

Sorry Brassy.

I hope you all are well.

 

[MrsG2010]

Progesterone level 17.7 this time on 25 mg
Clomid.

Last iui in July it was 32.8. On 50 mg

 

[brassy]

Hi MrsG...
What does this mean? I think this number shows a good ovulation?

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hmm mrsG, not sure what that means or whether your current progesterone level is normal or not? But I have heard clomid can help progesterone so I guess the more you take the better

I had my 20 week scan today girls! It was fab, though they couldn't check a couple of things cos of its position so I need to go back in 3 weeks! Still team ! x

 

[GettingBroody]

Aleja - good luck with the job interview!

MrsG - still keeping my fx'd for you

Brassy & mk8 - How are ye doing?

MrsP - congrats on a great scan! Can't believe you're already 20 weeks! Are you staying team yellow or is that just because baby wouldn't cooperate?!

Afm, had my 8 week scan on Tuesday. All looking well - nice strong heartbeat and has more than doubled in size since 6 week scan so yay!! Am officially finished with the FS clinic now!

 

[MrsG2010]

The nurse left a message that it was "terrific" -- whatever.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Well that's great mrsG!

Broody good to hear you've left your FS & your scan went well, time will fly for your 12 week one now. It's strange having no more fertility appointments. I had an appt for Halloween to see about IUI or IVF, I rang the other week to check they'd cancelled it but they hadn't! So now it's cancelled..feels weird! We were staying team yellow anyway & tbh I think if we'd wanted to know then they could tell as it was head down, at one point she said it was scratching its bottom!

Hope everyone is ok

X

 

[aleja]

hi girls
broody that's lovely news about your scan. it must feel amazing to now just be a normal pregnant gal and not an ivf patient.

mrsP i dont think i could contain myself i would need to know boy or girl!!!

MrsG when are you testing?

Ps interview was today. not feeling too confident actually. i was feeling ok until i started thinking about all the things I didn't say, so now just deflated

 

[MrsG2010]

 

[GettingBroody]

I am so sorry....

 

[MrsPTTC]

MrsG Hun.

Aleja, fingers crossed for your interview, sometimes the result is not what you expect!

x

 

[aleja]

MrsG ...damn ...

 

[brassy]

Really sorry MrsG...I don't know what to say to make you feel better. Ttc is one of the hardest things I have ever been through...
