33 yrs young ttc#1...need buddies:)

[dovkav123]

Hello ladies,
I am on TWW right now.
I am 33 y/o. I would like to compare our AMH hormone, ovarian reserve.
TTCbaby, I read your TTC journey. Without all those events you wouldn't be such a strong person as you are right now. Our time will come and we'll be mommies, we just need to be patient.

welcome dovkav! I don't really know much about my hormone levels or ovarian reserve.

MY UPDATE: so as you know Friday and Saturday I had faint lines that I determined was leftover trigger because yesterday the 2nd line was totally nonexistent and this morning it was also nonexistent.

today is 12dp trigger and 11dpiui.

Now, this evening, the 2nd line is back ever ever so faintly. I'm going crazy. Could the trigger be showing up again even though it was gone for a day? Maybe my pee concentration was different? Yup, I'm totally going crazy now.

hey dovkav,

i just saw your whole story under your post. i also have suspected adhesions from abdominal surgery (mine was on part of my colon due to crohns) and everything else for us looks good. did you have any lap surgery to look inside? have you had HSG? My HSG was blocked on left at first but a second look showed both tubes open. They only suspect adhesions because of my surgery (apparently very common fertility issue from women who've had any kind of abdominal surgeries) but they haven't actually done any lap to look and see so we are not sure exactly. We are doing iui's first but our doc told us that if there're adhesions then not to worry because the IVF has very high success rates for that. Would you be considering IVF?

Anyway, I'm glad to have you here and I wish you lots of baby dust!

Thank you so much for your detail respond. It is hard to find someone like me! My RE suggests a Lap, but I want to do Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (usually shortened to HyCoSy) first. It is like HSG, but they use sugar instead iodine. I am in Germany right now and RE doesn't use radiation for testing, it can cause more adhesions and hurt the eggs. RE told me you if the tubes are open, but they don't have motility, flexibility you won't get preg or you have risk of ectopic. You can't see endo or adhesions on HYCOSY. She is right! But you can see fibroids, polyps, uterine shape and so on! I want to start with not invasive. If she doesn;t beleave in this ultraosind, she will not give the whole energy to it. I am going to another RE. I don't want Lap, it causes scars too. I had complicated appendix surgery, I am not healed emotionaly from that yet. I would consider IUI, and Ivf but only non-medicated. The first test tube baby Louise was non-medicated. In Germany IVF is only 2000-3000 euro without meds. 40% chance.
You think the second HSg opened your tubes? I hope my ultrasound will do the same!
I hope your faint line never play tricks on you anymore! I am rooting for BF line!

dovkav13,

that is very smart not to do the lap. my doctor was good not to do it as she said exactly what you said: that it could just make more adhesions or scar tissue. i am very sorry you had to go through all that. i felt the same way, i went through a very long difficult thing with the surgery and to then have difficulty getting pregnant was just very heartbreaking as i thought i was finally healthy again and ready for the next step of life. i hope you get your BFP soon!

my update is just that the 2nd line is still showing but it's very faint, maybe slightly darker than yesterday but still a "squinter" so i can't even get a decent photo but DH can see it so i know i'm not insane, lol . . . worried that faint line could still be trigger or even a chemical . . . praying the line gets darker

Hi panda fan! Just a quick message to say that that's sounding good, especially as you previously had some negative tests, and I think by now it'd probably be a bit late for the trigger still to be in your system? I just wanted to reassure you about the lines being faint. Mine were barely visible the first few days - anyone else looking at them would have told me I was imagining them I'm not sure what you're testing with, but I found although the internet cheapies did get a tiny bit darker day by day, they did so *VERY* progressively. When I eventually used a different, shop-bought test at around 13dpo, it went quite dark straight away (much darker than the ones I'd been using).
When are you getting your beta checked? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hugs to everyone else!
xx

Fruitful,
I read you posts in the begining of this thread and I am so happy you are pregnant. You are still around to help us out!
Panda, it looks promising, it's bin faint for a long time. Have you had postive before? How many days Post IUI are you?
This cycle I did the castor oil packs and fertility massages, Castor oil packs feel great and they hopefully lubricate and make my adhesions softer. The only side effect I have is bloating.
I can't wait for your beta! Fingers and toes crossed!

 

[panda fan]

well, test went back to BFN this morning so I guess that's that

 

[dovkav123]

Sorry, panda for this morning. But you are not out yet. AF is not here! Do your beta test anyway. Even if it was chemical, it was a good news, the egg met the sperm! Tubes are working!
If you have a bad news tomorrow, don't be discouraged. Three failed IUI's. How do you cope? I read this thread and many ladies got success with IVF from the first round. Even Sashimi mimi! She had a low ovarian reserve.
I'll skip a LAP. I will start adventually, soon with natural cycle IUI(maybe just waisting time?) and then IVF.

 

[babybemine]

yeah hcg back to under 5. got the ok to bd. hoping for dh sake we get pregnant again now. he really wants to do all this naturally. if af comes then we are back to using meds.

Aww, have a big hug

Panda, did you go to the doctor? Thinking about you!

 

[panda fan]

Thank you, dov! I really appreciate your support. And Fruitless, thank you for the hug. Much needed. I just really spiraled into sadness this week after being very nonchalant about finishing my iui's . . . i just felt so different and then the false positives . . . so heartbreaking. Wish I had never tested.

Anyway, as u may have guessed, beta was negative and they told me to call tomorrow and schedule consultation with the doctor for IVF. I am going to ask her about the false positives but I'm guessing she will say "trigger" as I read they don't like to speculate about chemical pregnancies.

Where is everyone else? It's so quiet on here!

I am sorry you had to go throught this. I am no doubt you'll succeed with IVF you are young and you have high potential!
I am so stressed out with a family drama. How I can get preg with such stress?
Also I had a temp dip at 7dpo. but today it rised up! Never happened before.
Have a wonderful Friday!

 

[panda fan]

Don't worry about the stress factor! It's never good to stress about being stressed lol. That's why I hate when my mom tells me "you just need to relax" (she got pregnant with both my brother and i literally the DAY she decided to try so she can't really relate to my situation). I hope things get better for you and your family soon.

My IVF consultation is scheduled for july 19th so I've got a non-assisted cycle this month. Going to try to just have fun and not think too much.

I wonder what your temperature fluctuation was? I never did temp charts because my job has me waking up all different times so it was hard to be consistent. I think the women who do temp seem to be the best at spotting their pregnancies early. How many days is your cycle usually?

Thank you for support. It's nice to have someone who cares!
Does your family knows that you go to assist conseption? Everybody is on top of my treatments! I need that. They will help me to be agressive with treatments, because my DH wants to slow me down and wait for few months, he thinks we'll conceive on our own, he is affraid of all invasive procedures and hormonal treatments. He was sure we'll TtC from the first try!!!!!
My cycles are 28 +3 days. Ovulation is on CD 12(for the past 3months). I have O pains. In May it was comfirmed by ultrasound. I'll never forget this beautiful egg I saw, 20mm. That cycle I really had a hope.....
In 10 months I had 2 long cycles 35 and 37( i was testing like crazy). I am lucky to have 16 or 17 Luteal faze. That's how I can predict my AF. Mostly I watch my fertile CM. My temp goes up afer O. WE know we did the best for this month. During the firtile window only 5-6 days we don't use any lube. I get dry o O day. But I know that 2 days before O should be most fertile. We should get a preseed.
I love to be tuned to my body. I write down every signs I have. It is a nice research. Sometimes I feel I am too much thinking about it, and I can't stop..Now I am stuck on Baby bump. I am happy about that!
My temp. went down and then back up as you see on the graph. 7dpo Sometimes it can be implantation.(info from fertility firend). But my temps are too low to compare to other charts;(. I had my nose bleeding yesterday and today.
This month I O on 12cd, but FF states 13 cd. I go by my body.

My periods last 5-6 days. I have ovarian pain. (new symptom). I have urination cramping after O and during period. Could it be endo symptom?

How about your cycles? Ovulation,? Do you have heavy periods? Did you see any nice follicles on the ultrasound? I am sure you had many US before IUI.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
It is raining here in Germany. All spring and summer we have a horrible weather.

Thanks Trolley for asking!
I am still in tww and expecting my period in 5 days. My chart this month really made me think....I have never (in 2 year charting) had 2 temp dips and sudden rise. Staying hopeful and tesing tomorrow!
My horoscope told me that one of my firtile days are the lucky ones. Another lucky day will be in 10 years.
Wish me luck too!
