32 ttc for 10 months now - anyone in the same boat?

[cooch]

Hi Ladies - had to share - another friend announced she was pregnant yesterday and get this - her and her hubby looked after our apartment when we were on holiday in July - and she said to me "This is probably too much information but it happened the week we stayed at you." I just smiled inanely. Seriously though! It's like baby karma is being taken away from me!!!! How can my bed be lucky for one couple and not luck fopr us??!!
I've started seeing fertility acupuncturist this week - has ayone else tried this or reflexology? x

I could scream!! It is just so unfair (I'm having a couple of bad days!!).
I have tried acu and I love it I think it has help regulate my cycle

I don't think I updated you all on last weeks findings. The shock is only just wearing off.
I went for repeat scan just to check no growth (standard procedure in mmc) and they found twins. Unfortunately I think I have lost both.
I go back tomorrow for final scan just to be sure.

I am heartbroken, one was bad enough, but two....

That is soooooo messed up!!!!! I would choke someone! Does this person know you are TTC? If so, she should not have told you where conception occured!!! Very insensitive!

NewToAllThis- I am so sorry for your loss. I do know exactly how you are feeling. I lost twins with my first conception. The loss is a terrible feeling, and though the pain never fully goes away - you learn to bear the weight of the loss and keep looking forward. We are all here for you if you need to vent. You can p.m. me if you want to vent...

So AF got me again last week so I've booked an appointment with a gynae recommended by a friend. I'm really not sure what to expect being in Cyprus I don't know if it will go the same as in the UK and what I should ask. I don't want to just burst in and say I'm ttc it's not working so fix me also my health insurance won't cover the cost of investigations until December and at the minute we don't have much spare cash so not sure how to proceed any ideas would be great!!

Hi Gregsprincess – sorry to hear AF got you again. This is really a tough process this whole baby thing!! But good to hear that you’ve got an appointment to see someone - won’t do any harm! If you don’t want to say you’re ttc, could you say you suspect you may have PCOS? Pains in abdomen, etc, and casually mention you are ttc? That way they will do all the investigations but it may be covered on insurance? Don’t know if anyone else has any thoughts or experience?

New – just wanted to say that I’m thinking about you – how are you holding up?

Well, I’ve finally gotten over the shock of finding out that a friend had managed to conceive in my flat! Feels like I’m in a sitcom sometimes…I’ve got another acupuncture appointment tomorrow – have to say – it’s not quite as relaxing as I’d hoped it would be. And the medicine I have to drink is vile!!!


How is everyone else doing? xx

 

[Gregsprincess]

I was thinking of saying that actually as I do get quite bad pains around o anyway so it wouldn't be too much of a fib
I was thinking of trying reflexology had a session once and it was lovely not sure I could cope with acupuncture needles!

Hi.

I'm ok thanks, still waiting to see if I miscarry naturally but don't think its going to happen.
Been bleeding with occasional cramps but nothing further.
Am giving it til the end of the week then I'm booking in for an erpc.
Selfishly want to enjoy the good weather here before its gone again!

It has sunk in now so just want to get this over with now and get back to TTC.

 

[Gregsprincess]

Just for an update I tried the pcos route with doctor i saw and he suggested going on the pill after a scan and pelvic

Have decided I will temp and use opk's then if no luck by jan I will visit different dr for testing as insurance will pay then!

I'm almost 34 and have been TTC for 19 months the doctor says I ovulate like clockwork, and hubby's sperm count was excellent...

so far I've had one failed IUI and I'm hoping to get started with back to back IUIs next cycle...but money is so tight right now that I don't know if we'll be able to

I'm really dreading my birthday this year

Hi! Im with you on the dreading birthdays thing. When I turned 35, as I see you will be doing, I didnt take it well that I wasnt a Mom yet either. It gets harder as we get older because that damn ticking clock is getting deafening!

Hey Gregsprincess,

Can't believe he suggested you went back on the pill!

Well, AF came 5 days early this month - bit of a kick in the teeth! We have our second appointment with FS on the 25th. I'm really hoping we can push for IUI in November - keep your fingers crossed for me!

How's everyone else doing this month?

I was a bit shocked he said that but someone else has said apparently it kick starts everything I'd prefer not to mess about with it.

Sorry the witch got you early I feel I'll get a visit early from cramping I've got today. I'll keep everything crossed for you to get iui and the appointment goes well

I was trying forever with my ex Husband almost 5 years and I Never fell pregnant the first time me and my Boyfriend try in 2011 we fall pregnant...I thought I would never get pregnant but I lost my Baby at 24 weeks =( Dont give up because it will happen when you least expect it...Baby

 

[whiskey]

Thanks for the encouragement DueSeptember!

I need some advice ladies. I'm meeting the friend who I mentioned in earlier posts (the one who got pregnant whilst flat sitting for me!) and I could do with some survival tips! Really dreading it but hubby and I can't put it off any longer...

Hi Ladies,

Thought I’d give you a quick update.

DH and I went to see the FS again yesterday. We were supposed to wait until Xmas but I really am getting so impatient (and a bit depressed) with the whole ttc game.

So – he’s agreed to proceed with IUI next month! I’m excited but also a little bit terrified!!! We’ll start the ball rolling in a couple of weeks.

I was just wondering – he gave us the option of starting with Femara or injectables and I really pushed for the injectables as I know they have a higher success rate. My DH wasn’t as keen as he’s terrified at the thought of twins! Has anyone got any experience with this?

 

[Lizzy444]

I just finished round 2 of injections (Follistim and Ovidrel). The first round, I O'd super early...like CD9, and had only one "mature" follicle. This cycle, I had 2 "mature" follicles and O'd on CD12 . I think that number is super low...they prefer more. Next cycle, if I start AF, we'll do Clomid, Follistim, and Ovidrel.

All of that to say, I guess it's different for everyone. They told me my chances of twins is like 15-20%, maybe, and the chances for high order multiples is I think less than 3%.

We're on cycle 18 (month 15) of TTC.

Best wishes to you!

Hey ladies,

How is everyone doing?
Gregsprincess - how are you getting this month?

I'm waiting for AF to start next week so I can start my injections - eek!
