Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[ickle pand]

I bet you're dying to get started now Ash. I know I would be.

Kimiw - Good luck. I think we all go a bit mad during the 2WW no matter how many times we go through it.

1 week to go until our appointment with the FS. I have so many questions including whether or not we should delay starting IVF to give my body a chance to recover from the very strict diet I've been on or if we should just go for it as soon as we're at the top of the list. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all. DH has been great, he's happy to do what I want to do since I have to go through the bulk of it. I'm really split at theiment but hopefully once I get my questions answered one option will be clear.

Hi All

Pink - I know im very excited when does yours all start? Im not sure she didnt really say she mumbled to herself and was like oh yes your on that one.. All i know is that we have to call up on CD1 which is around 18th July and then we pick up drugs and start three weeks after?!? We were meant to see the nerse after the doctor i presume to go through these bits but she wasnt free i was just glad that things are moving!

Has any one heard from FF? Hope she is ok, not heard from her for a while (Hugs if your out there)

Hope every one else is ok

I've already started on the downregging part, have my first scan on thurs so hoping i've been suppressed and that I can start the FSH injections next. Sounds like your on the same one as I am, call up on CD1 and start injection or spraying from CD21.

Re FF: i follow her journal, its under the TTC journals called Creating Faith, maybe pop in and say hello

ickle - i'm sure the FS will be able to give you the best advice, as long as your taking vitamins i'm sure it'll be okay to start straight away... all they really seem to be bothered about at my place is whether i'm taking folic acid!

MrsH - good luck for sat, exciting times!

Kimmi - welcome good luck for this cycle i hope you get your BFP very soon x

Hi Ladies! I would love to join you as we are LTTTC our first child as well. DH and I have been married for 6 years, started TTC our first baby in Feb 2010. Got pregnant naturally in March/April and miscarried at 12wks. Had to have a D&C in June 2010.

Countless tests, 8 rounds of Clomid, 7 with IUI and no reason we have not conceived. Starting IUI with Injectables next cycle after a 6 month break.

I am lucylou. We've seen him plenty of times before but everytime has ended with no real progress because of my weight but as you can see by my ticker I've finally sorted that out so I feel quite excited that we might be moving forward. I'm a bit nervous too though lol!

 

[gilmore85]

well my ultrasound turned into an internal scan as apparently I am part of 10% of the female population that has a tilted uterus so she couldn't see anything on the ultrasound. My results will get sent to the consultant and I got my HSG date for 10th July at 9am

Got to love the dildo cam lol!

I got such a shock the first time I got one of them. I'd had an external U/S first and then was allowed to empty my bladder. When I came back, they'd kicked my BF at the time out of the room and the male tech had a condom in his hand lol!

 

[gilmore85]

It was my first encounter with dildo cam lol

OH was allowed to stay in with me but didn't notice a condom think I was just lubed up tbh i wasn't exactly looking

 

[ickle pand]

They usually put a condom with gel in it over the probe and then put more gel on the outside. Makes it easy to keep clean and hygenic. Makes sense when you think about it, but I'd wish they'd warned me lol!

I'm at The Hammersmith, west london. Yes i felt the same the first time around, but don't worry your clinic will talk you through everything and feel free to msg me any questions or post them in here... actually MrsH started another thread in the assisted conception bit which we could move our IVF chatter to so the other girls in here don't feel bogged down with it?

just an idea?

lol that really made me laugh! Ah dildo cam... my old friend! i've got an appointment with one tomorrow morning... what joy!

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone's doing ok, I have my fs appointment this month so will be jumping back intottc. Its good timing to as will be on cd30 so if i need to take any clomid etc i wont have to wait a whole cycle

Welcome to the newbies were all a friendly bunch here.

Goodluck to everyone in their 2ww

xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

Gilmore - I'm am one of that 10% also....whoop whoop

Sticky - welcome back hun so happy you back on this crazy roller coaster

 

[Selina7]

using the site and new to this thread....

just got back from my appt with the RE....

me day 3 FSH 15!!! which is high not good .... had more blood work done today...

DH low count when we asked what it was we were told 70! not good at all ... he has been referred to a specialist will meet with him late Aug. ....more testing

were told it is unlikely typical ovulation stimulating hormones will work nor will IUI... IVF is most likely only option....


in 3 months we will meet back again... so upsetting....

hi everyone

I've just started my 13th cycle TTC#1. can I join here?

 

[Sticky Beans]

Welcome Selina & timeforababy!

Welcome Newbies to the thread!

I'm thinking Clomid has officially stopped getting me to ovulate I've had spots of EWCM for weeks, my temp has been up and down and I've had a bunch of borderline OPKs but nothing positive even though I test more than once a day when I'm close to when I expect ovulation.

I'm pretty excited and nervous about going to see the Fertility Specialist/Reproductive Endocrinologist next week! It feels a little bittersweet because part of me had hoped (naively) that I wouldn't need a specialist's help and part of me is really excited/anxious to move on and out of Clomid HELL.

Any tips for my first specialist visit?

 

[fisher640]

I've been MIA because I started my new job and it's been craaaaaaazy. IUI #5 is scheduled for tomorrow morning!

 

[pinkfee]

welcome Selina and timeforababy

Selina - it is rough to hear news like that but i'm going through IVF at the moment and have already had 1 cycle that was successful but unfortunately i MC at 11weeks. It feels like the last resort but for me its the only time i've ever had a BFP so i've only got positives to say about the process... hang in there.

Hi Sticky - good to have you back

Hoping - I never did Clomid but sorry its not worked out for you. First FS appt is fine, they'll just make sure you've had all the tests they require. Make sure your able to tell them all about your periods (how regular, how long they last etc)

Ooo good luck Fisher!

Welcome to the newbies

I'm not having the best weekend so far. DH is a volunteer lifeboatman and has been put on standby because there's due to be bad floods this weekend, so we're just waiting for the phone to ring. If he goes, he could be away for our FS appointment on Tuesday. I've got my mum standing by so I wouldn't have to go alone but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm also due to ov on Wednesday so that's another crap timing!

I've been having some problems with my shoulder for the last fortnight. I went back to the doctors yesterday. He wants me to keep taking diclofenac which I'm not really happy about since NSAIDs can cause temporary infertility but I don't have a choice because the pain in so bad. I've been referred for physiotherapy and also to see the rheumatologist again so hopefully I'll get some answers soon. I'll have to see what the FS says about IVF and NSAIDs. So many appointments just now!
