39 and trying to conceive:-(

Trying4four- I have never heard of hsg affecting O. But then again what the hell do I know!!!

CD1
If this ivf cycle doesn't work or doesn't happen, I am considering having an endometrial biopsy or scratch prior to trying this again. Been reading good things about this. I thought they were going to do an endometrial lining biopsy with this surgery and I asked him specifically about that but what he biopsied was the actual endometriosis outside the uterus!!! That's not what I meant! You reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaally have to be specific when dealing with healthcare providers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TMI- Great AF!!!
It was only heavy and painful for 8-10 hours. This is incredible compared to a full 24 hours of the usual pain (7/10) and heavy bleeding with clots. This has got to do with ridding my body of that endo!? This is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing everyone babydust!

That's excellent!

Started clomid yesterday!
Sa on Friday

 

[PositiveUs]

Cool!!! Clomid may be just the thing you need!!.

Can you do progesterone suppositories post O also??? (just as a cushion?).

 

[PositiveUs]

Baseline scan had a small cyst but they said that its nothing they would worry about and to start stims tonight. OMG.

 

[Bonnie1990]

Ooh how exciting I hope this is it for you!

No. Not doing anything except clomid. Kinda On a rogue mission with it

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum. My name is Laura. I am 39, hubby is 38. We are trying for our third child. Unfortuately, TTC # 3 has proved to be a challenge. Two failed IVFs. We decided to try naturally again. Has anyone ever used the Instead Cup when trying to conceive?

 

[Bonnie1990]

Welcome!
I have on a few cycles but hasn't worked for me yet

 

[trying4four]

Welcome Mamax3

Positive, I'm glad that things are going well

I think I FINALLY O'd. If I get stressed, it always gets delayed and that's what I think happened with hsg.

 

[PositiveUs]

Trying4four- it must be hard to keep bd'ing just in case you might O!

Mamax3- I have used the cups only when I didn't have time to lay down after BD and it hasn't worked for me yet but I have heard a lot of good things about them on other threads. I would love to do a post coital test but my gyn doesn't do them for some reason, he says "just go to IUI if you think there's a problem". That's ridiculous. There's always something wrong with every doctor. Someone on another thread said they found no sperm on a post coital test (and she thought she had ewcm), so now she knows and she can proceed accordingly, but what if she never got that test and just kept trying???????

Bonnie- nothing wrong with rogue clomid! When I was on clomid for the mini ivf cycle they had me on 100mg D3-7 I think. There are other protocols too.

Me- this cycle i was told I would be on gonal f 300 and menopur 150 per day. I wrote this protocol down in August and bought meds according to that. Now as of yesterday, the nurse says to take gonal f 450 and menopur 75!!!
I have a message for her today about the apparent discrepency. WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have soooooooooooo many patients. I don't want to just fall through the cracks!!!! OMG.

 

[Bonnie1990]

well its rouge because its totally on my own. got it from a friend who is taking a break and my doc won't do it without IUI. There is the something wrong with my doctor....he says because of the decreased cm it is pointless.

i just want to try it without IUI first...insurance doesn't cover IUI and BD is free!

 

[PositiveUs]

I have heard of plenty of docs prescribe clomid for natural cycles!!! WTH is wrong with these physicians??? I took it and I didn't see that much difference at all in cm. It depends on the person. Will he do a post coital test or did I already ask you that question? I think they are helpful because there is a thread on this site where the woman said there were no sperm found on a post coital test and now she's freaked out.

 

[Bonnie1990]

No pc test. Still fussing with DB to get his sa.

And there are plenty of ways around the cm issue. Robitussin and preseed.

 

[PositiveUs]

The scary thing is that there is a thread on here called post coital exam negative. She said her cm was great including pH and that his sa was great but there was no sperm on the pc exam.

Bonnie- I got my guy to do the sa test by giving him the cup, leaving the room at home and then when he was done I just drove it over to the fs lab. I live close enough that he didn't have to do it there at the facility or I don't think he would have ever done it!

 

[Bonnie1990]

We don't live far from the lab. I have offered to take it. He is just being obstinate about it.

 

[PositiveUs]

I think they are a bit scared to see the results. My guy also thought the whole putting it in a cup thing was soooooooooooooooooo weird. But he finally bucked up and did it. He said it was the weirdest thing. It helps that he basically has no shame, lol.

When we went for the first ivf, they sent him in the room at the clinic and he was done in under 5 minutes! I couldn't believe it.

 

[Bonnie1990]

His is total ego over the results and has told me.
If they are fine then it's my fault.
If their dead he will question his paternity (stupid)
If theyre so so them it will crush his weight lifting
Mountain climbing dragon ego.

There is no good result.

 

[PositiveUs]

Well, if sa is low, there are supplements that I've seen on other threads that work to increase motility or overall number of sperm.

I know the issue is me, so I don't really care. There's not exactly much I can do about my age, so.

Well, good luck with the ego issue.

My next scan is tomorrow to see if anything is growing. Fx'd.

 

[Bonnie1990]

Fx'd! Keep us posted!
