Yay!!!! All the Scottish must have been waiting for the weekend to come on here haha 😜😜

How are you all? Are you all currently TTC? #1 or #2? Tell me your stories haha xx

Hi,

We're now NTNP. But in all honesty there is little or no chance off success. Been through 2 rounds of IVF with iCSI in 2015. Unsuccessful. Low AMH low sperm count. Lost count of time LTTC 6 years +. Tried temping, acupuncture, clear blue monitoring, preseed.... IVF is very stressful. Was going to do another cycle this year. But then had a period which lasted months only stopping with meds. NHS wanted to put a coil in. I went private and had my fibroid removed. Bleeding now reduced to a fews days a cycle. Not sure if we will try IVF again. I am 40 DH is 50. Time not on our side.


LoraLoo sorry for your loss.

I'm waiting to go for a FET. Took 12yrs and 1 round of IVF to have DD who's now 2. Need to get my health sorted pronto and get my BMI down before attempting it. What about you?

 

[Deb_baby]

Hi! I'm from Aberdeen x

 

[victorial8]

Glad to see other ladies from Scotland!!! Deb baby, are you TTC again just now? I am from the Shire so not too far from you
We had our first appointment with the fertility clinic this week and I am booked in for my HSG on the 27th. I am also working on getting my weight down, I have put so much on the past few months with getting down about TTC so need to get it down again before the doc tells me to haha.
We can't try this month as there can't even be a chance of me being pregnant with the HSG and it is just after ovulation so no chance for this month. I'm feeling much more positive now we have started the process x

Hi, was TTC #2 but unfortunately had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago, so OH has said he just wants to NTNP dont think he wants the excitement/dissappointment for a bit.

Hi ladies, I'm in Glasgow. I've had a read through where you're all at in TTC - it would be lovely to keep a chat going with local ladies going through the same things. I'm LTTTC #1. Been trying for 4 years this coming January. Finally got a BFP in May on my 6th round of Clomid, but found out at my 12week scan that my baby had died at 7+4. Waited another couple of weeks for MC, but eventually had to have an ERPC end of July. I wanted to go back on Clomid, but was told it wasn't possible to prescribe for more than 6months so I'm now on my 3rd round of Letrozole (which I'm finding is less consistant than Clomid for ovulation day and cycle length, which isn't ideal - but at least I'm ovulating!). Should start 3 rounds of IUI in June 2016 (hopefully) and if that doesn't work, 2 rounds of IVF in 2017.

Hi ladies!! I am so sorry for your losses, it is so damn hard xxx

I hope that we all get our BFPs soon.

My HSG was a disaster and after around 50 mins lying with my legs apart and them attempting to insert catheters they couldn't get it in the right place and had to abandon. I am now waiting for an appointment to come through for an MRI instead. Because I have a bicornuate uterus, the doctor feels it's important to find out the exact shape of it to know what we are dealing with for if we have to do IVF. I'm not sure if we will manage to go through the IVF route or not as we have our daughter already so don't think NHS will fund and doubt we could afford private. We will see what happens though.

 

[Arohanui]

Sorry to hear about your HSG experience, it's a horrible procedure at the best of times without having to go through that. Hope you get your MRI date in soon - will that show if there's any blockages or holes like the HSG would have? Good luck!

Well, I'm miserable tonight! Started spotting so I'm expecting AF tomorrow, and will be starting fourth round of Letrozole on Saturday. I just really wanted to get a BFP before my due date in Jan (same date as my wedding anniversary, which will also mark 4years of TTC) but I really don't think it's going to happen

 

[Arohanui]

I got a call on Christmas Eve to say the Assisted Conception unit had had a cancellation so my IUI has been brought forward from June to January! I'm over the moon. Not only for me, but for whoever doesn't need that appointment any more

I'm still going to find getting through my due date in January difficult, but I feel like I've got something to look forward to and that things are progressing. Maybe 2016 will be good to me?

Has anyone here had IUI on the NHS? I'm not sure what to expect from our first appointment, but it will be towards the middle to my cycle so I'm expecting no treatment to start until at least the next cycle?

 

[tommyg]

I'm also in Scotland near Glasgow.
Aro good luck with the iui. Fingers crossed it does it for you. I'm assuming that is NHS funded?

I know this is a bit of an old thread but is anyone still around? I'm in Scotland too, in Dundee. I've been TTC #2 for 3 years now, just about to start Clomid in the next few days hopefully!
