anyone got pregnant after ovarian drilling?

[Tella]

MommyMel > Thanks, i though a change will be good. I've sent you what i know so far Im an info freak so i normally go and research everything lol

Arza > i will go and read the posts, thanks for reminding us that there are success stories out there

 

[MariaF]

Tella - I can't believe it What on earth is wrong with us?! I am desperate for someone to get a BFP just to give this thread a boost! How's your DH swimmers?

Fee - good luck for the SA

MommyMel - sounds like a plan on the herbs.

Yep, we BDed last night. Then I had the horrendous cramps this morning which seems to have subsided after 30 minutes and will BD again either tonight or tomorrow morning. We've been using lots of Preseed this month and will carry on tonight

Although Ive accepted it won't happen for us naturally.

But please can my late ovulation on CD25 give some other girls a hope?! Arza - may be it's still coming for you? I bascially thought this cycle was wasted after about CD22. Then woke up on CD24 with a big blob of EWCM (first day the whole month). And got a positive OPK the same day.
In the 7 months prior to this I got my positiove OPKs no later than CD17 so this is a week late!!!

My DH's swimmers are fine according to the FS, 6 months ago. Im just hoping that they Soy, EPO and Royal Jelly, combined with SMEP will do the trick!

 

[Cridge]

Oh wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I checked in with you girls. I had lots of posts to read!!

Kelli - welcome! I hope OD helps you. My testosterone fell into normal levels for the first time (ever?!) after OD. I'm not sure how long it took because at my 6 week check I had a cyst (which causes testosterone production) and my levels were double what they had been before OD. Anyway, I think you read up on it all.

Fee and Tella - so sorry about the finding her way to you!

Arza - erratic temps are so frustrating!! Did you do clomid or anything this month? My temps seem to go a bit wild when I'm on meds, but then they calm down closer to ovulation.

I need to update my siggie - I still haven't ovulated. BUT, I think I'm getting close. My temps have dipped for 3 days in a row now and my cf is getting closer to ewcm - although not quite there yet. Still no + OPT, but I'm hopeful that I'll ovulate in the next few days....or week, at least. I'm on cd 23.

So Maria - yes, I think you could have started to grow a follie, have it reabsorb, and then start to grow a new one. I've heard of that happening. Last cycle when I had a cyst, my temp wasn't affected at all, so if your temp jumps, I would say you popped a good follie!

Hi Maria, I really hope that I do ovulate at some point in this cycle - it would help. your late ovulation definately gave me hope, and I genuinely hope that you will be our next good news.

Cridge, I haven't used anything medical wise as my doc told me to go natural for 6 months, but seeing a new specialist at the end of the month - FX'd for the best.

 

[Kdwebb86]

Sorry fee and tella!

Cringe I am with you. If you count od as cd 1 then I am cd 13. I have ewcm and cervix feels open tmi!! But no + opk yet although I always forget not to pee for 4 hours. I want to start charting my temps something I have never done and will check out that link and get a thermometer. What does everyone recommend checking orally or the other way lol! Maybe we will both ovulate this month!!! I have high hopes for od because my re has said only other option is ivf and we have spent so much on that already!!!

 

[Cridge]

Kelli - I temp orally, but I think a couple gals on here do it vaginally. I've temped for 14 years and have had great success orally - but you might feel like you get better results the other way. Either way, I would definitely suggest temping. It really puts a lot of "maybe's" to rest. It's a great way to know what your body is doing.

 

[Tella]

Kelli > i really hope OD works quickly for you!

I temp vaginally but only because sleep with my mouth open at times and that has an effect on your temps. So i just found that vaginally there arent as many factors to consider so i do it that way. Once you into it, its fine. It only feels funny in the beginning. Good luck eihter way!

Cridge > Hope you O soon and that you catch that eggy!!!! Have fun BDing

 

[MariaF]

Cridge - fingers crossed for positive OPK today!!!!!! If you get it today then we could be cycle twins!! I got mine on CD24 too

My temps did go up already so Im hoping you are right and if it were a cyst it wouldn't have affected the temps...But we'll see.

Arza - I also hope that you will ovulate! It may be as late as CD 25-30 but as long as it happens, that's all that matters!! How many months has it been since the OD now?

Kelli - it's been 7 months since our OD so we will be starting IUI next cycle and then IVF. Luckily in the UK we can have a couple of free rounds from the government. I hope you also get a positive OPK soon.

Tella - when are you starting the herbal cocktail???

Fee - how are you doing?

Oh, and I temp in my bum I heard somewhere that it's the most reliable place

So I guess Im 1DPO today

 

[Tella]

Im starting with the Soy tonight, the other i started with yesterday. fx'd it will work!!!!!

 

[keisha403]

Hi ladies,
Hope everyone is doing good!!!
I got my +OPK last night. So i should be Oing today or tomorrow.
Last night was so hard, we BD but my hubby wasn't able to release his little swimmers. I was so setup that i could hardly sleep. Why is it (EVERYTHING) so difficult. When i am not Oing he is fine, but i had to remind myself that this is also stressful for him. So i try not to be so upset. Thank God my temp was still low this morning, so i didn't O yesterday.

I had promise my hubby that i wouldn't be testing or temping this month, but i lost all self control, i only had one OPK & decided that i wasn't going to buy anymore, but when cd14 came (yesterday) I had to test & it was positive. Now because it was + i can't help myself i have to temp to see when my temp rise. I need help!!!

Last Friday was my 34th birthday. I was happy but sad, that one more birthday and no baby nor no BFP! Sometimes i wonder what have i done to deserve such a punishment. Never in a million years would i think that i would be 34years old & struggling to have my first child, this is so depressing & the worst thing about it is I don't have any control over it!! Yes i will do all thr test & all the procedures, but in the end i really have no control over it, which is sad!

 

[Fee83]

Maria I am doing ok! Period lasted only 3 days normally its 5 so not sure what the go is there

 

[Tella]

Keisha > im so sorry girl, it is a very stressfull journey for both. I try not to tell my DH when i O so he doesnt feel under pressure. But they can sometimes be so darft that you have to spell it out before they grasp why you wanna BD that specific night.

Fee > My period lately has also just been 3 days. Very heavy the first two days and light the 3rd and maybe a bit of spotting the 4th. Good luck with your new cycle.

Maria > I just want to wish you good luck wiht your appointment today!!!!!! Im keeping everything crossed for you to start with IUI asap.

AFM > CD3, so not much happening.

 

[arza786]

Keisha - Sorry ur feeling low, be happy that you have a +ve OPK and just go with the flow hun, why stress over something that is not in our control, have faith in nature and God, It will work for us when the time is right.

Lods of HUGS!

P.S Loving the new layout of this site!!!! AWESOME!

 

[keisha403]

THANKS ladies!

I had OD done 7 days ago. I have never used BC and been sexually active for like 6 years, but only really ttc in the last year. Had 6 months of Clomid and taking metformin. The success percentages for getting preg after OD is like 79% for those ttc for < 3 years. My dr says he can't remember a patient who didn't get preg within 3 months. I will take clomid again this cycle and i hope it works!

It just seems there isnt a lot of success stories?

 

[MariaF]

Julie - up until febraury 2011 there was a BFP announcement nearly ever week. But nothing since then I can count at least 9 ladies who had OD more than 3 months ago, been ovulating and still nothing

I had mine 8 months ago....I don't want to dishearten you and may be you will get a BFP very quickly!!!

Keisha - I am exactly the same so I totally understand how you feel. And m DH had performance issues a couple of times and initially I felt very bitter about it but then I realised that he was also very stressed and it's by no means his fault. Trouble is that even if we BD when I get positive OPKs it still comes to nothing so I figured why stress about NOT BD'ing on the right days...
I hope you have a much more productive night tonight

So I had my appointment - the long version is in my journal. But in summary (omitting all the emotional/negative aspects of the appointment) we are starting IUI with Gonal-F next cycle
And we have once again confirmed that our PCT funds 3 IUIs, 2 fesh IVF and 2 frozen IVF

I am totally mentally exhausted now and it's manic at work so no chance of relaxing

 

[arza786]

Maria - Please give me the link to ur journal. I want to stalk u!!!!!!

 

[amwill]

What have you ladies found to be the average waiting time after the OD

 

[Tella]

Julie > Welcome, hope you have recovered 100% after your surgery.

In the beginning of this thread the success stories kept flowing in but the last 8 months has been a downer. We are all praying to break the streak and start a chain of BFP's on here. Good luck girl.

Maria > Im so stoked that you have a confirmed IUI for next cycle!!!! No a few weeks of relaxation and then the fun begins. You wont need all the other procedures, you will get your bfp the first IUI, we have to believe in it!

amwill > I waited about 10days, doc said to see when you feel comfortable.

AFM > Im CD4, had my second dosage of Soy last night and the first side effects kicked in. I had hot flushes of note, had to put the fan on the whole night to help out. Otherwise im just praying for a BFP this cycle!
