Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[fisher640]

Negative OPK this morning too so they want me to come in tomorrow for bloodwork & ultrasound. No birthday IUI :-/ I guess my luck doesn't really fall that way anyway

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Fisher at least you can enjoy your birthday without interruption

Well I think that I may be due to ovulate soon as despite only just finishing bleeding from D&C I seem to be having ovulation pains. The only down side to this is that DH is feeling under the weather and isn't in the mood. I feel the pressure building already and were not even officially TTC yet

 

[2 hope]

Thanks all for making me feel so welcome. Its amazing what an uplift some support from other women can give you.

Furure Mama1 - its been 3 years too since we started trying. Guess mine has just been broken up a bit by two miscarriages. Are you under a fertility specialist now?
I had tests done about year ago now and all came back clear. They were just about to refer me further but then I got pregnant. Since losing it I now don't qualify for any assisted conception. So frustrating.

Feisty Fidget- so sorry to hear that you have also had two miscarriages. So close for us- but yet still so far away.
Have you had any testing done?

Yes we are attending Ninewells assisted conception unit. I dont ovulate and have irregular cycles. Im on my first month of Gonal F but things are moving very slowly my biggest follicle is only 12mm which is a bit disappointing.

Cant believe you no longer qualify for assisted conception, why is that?

They said I no longer qualify because I have been pregnant twice within the last three years and because there is no medical reason as to why it takes me so long to get pregnant each time. So I guess im just left to it on my own again. month after month of waiting and getting disappointed. having to pick myself up each time to keep on trying. its such a long, painful journey.

2 Hope I am in the same boat However we are no-longer eligible for IVF as two previous losses mean that we are not ideal candidates - in other words it's a waste of money as the odds are it will end in miscarriage

Hi All

Future Mamma - Welcome, sorry your not having a good time at the moment, but this group is very supportive...


Small star - Welcome to hun, i know how frustrating it is we are just waiting for our IVF appointment in august, nothing wrong with me but OH SA came back with only 2% morphology so swimmers are not making it to the target... So we have been advised that IVF is our best option... Were your OH numbers good then?

FF - welcome back on the train that no one wants to be on I think that 2012 is our year though for all us LTTTC peeps

Fisher - I agree with FF this could be a great birthday pressie Fx for you x

TTC - Im sorry i dont know much about progesterone sorry hun x

Unfortunately as mentioned before we are not even eligible to go on IVF waiting list until we having been TTC for 3 years SUCKS!!!!
OH SA came back fine!!!
Just so annoying because noone knows WHY we cant get pregnant!!!!

Good luck hun, really hope this starts the ball rolling in the right direction for you

 

[lucylou7]

happy birthday fisher, hope oh has spoilt you hun..

Amy - good luck for tomorrow is this your first appointment after you've had your tests re done? Are you going armed with questions? Xx

 

[fisher640]

The update is my IUI is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. They said my bloodwork was high enough I should have gotten a positive OPK this morning it was def negative tho. Ever since I started the clomid. Anyway. She said there was 1 big 21mm follicle on the right and two little ones on the left 13&14 I think she said (I'm pretty sure those aren't big enough to count tho I suspect I should have started the clomid a day earlier (cause this was one of those AF started in the afternoon so the next day is considered CD1 kind of cycles)

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Amy good luck for tomorrow hun

Fisher it is possible you missed the surge hun Lots of people test 3 times a day and still miss their surge as it is so brief. Can you ask them to do another scan the day after your IUI just to check you ovulated?

Lovely isn't it. They make you feel even more useless than we already do!!!!!
Were both of yours early losses?

 

[Feisty Fidget]

They were both at exactly the same point; a day or so over 6 weeks - I said to the hospital I felt this was a clear indication of a genetic issue. They quickly hushed me and told me it was just bad luck If it had happened at different weeks then I could buy that but it just seems too close to be a coincidence.

When were yours?

I think it's unlikely based on CM that I Od already. The scan itself is close to $300 so I'm not really glad they had to do one in the first place let alone asking for a second after the IUI I know what you mean though. Last month I only tested FMU so was sure it was me missing it. This month I used the IC too. A minimum of twice a day. Yesterday I might have used 3 or 4 cause I knew it was getting close. Still nothing I'm just hoping I hold off on O til tomorrow closer to the IUI.

Good Luck Gilmore with the appt hope it all goes well and they give you a time scale and plan! Good Luck Fisher with the IUI, i've got my fx'd that you O perfectly on time for your IUI.

sorry ladies that we're all feeling a bit glum at the moment.... the weather in the UK certainly isn't helping! Lets hope the next fews weeks brings more sunshine and lifts our LTTTC spirits.

Urch - if you're still lurking around and reading this... just want to say that your my inspiration to keep going! When I feel low i just think of all you've been through and think that it can happen...

AFM - feeling ever so slightly better, start injecting in 9 days time, think i'll be better once we get under way

Well I think I ovulated on Sunday, just waiting for tomorrows temp to confirm it. Happy that we did the best we could with timing intercourse and used Conceive Plus, so just a waiting game now.

 

[Dazed]

Good luck Fisher

Sorry I have been quiet. I don't know if I said anything, but in addition to DH's morphology being not so great, I also have an undiagnosed LPD. I have been doing the cinnamon and honey as well as added a B100 complex to see if it helps.

I'm 6dpiui today and I want to test, but I'm not going to. I'm being patient this time surprisingly and I've been pretty busy anyways. My OH and I went down to NJ to visit family this past weekend and it was nice. My mom opened her pool a few weeks ago so we swam and had BBQ and what not. We're going back down to NJ tomorrow until Friday because my OH's son is graduating from 8th grade so we're attending that on Friday morning. I've been missing my mom so it's been nice to go down there. Not to mention now that I'm engaged my mom wants to talk wedding stuff with me so that's another plus also.

Well, TWW is almost halfway over and it's just going to fly by the next few days as I will be so busy! FX'd!

 

[ttcbaby117]

hey ladies! I hope everyone is doing well! I am wishing all of you g/l whereever you are in your cycle.

afm - 13 dpo today and i have to test tomorrow to see if I should come off of the progesterone. I feel like it will be a BFN. Last night after we bded I had horrible cramps so I guess af is on her way!

Thats very similar to me. On the first I started bleeding at 7 weeks and lost it next day. On the second I started bleeding at just over six weeks but took longer to actually lose it. Ended up losing it exactly same day as first one. That completely freaked me out. In both scans I had too the baby measured smaller than expected but the doctor was quick to just dismiss that.
