Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[gilmore85]

question for you ladies i had a lap and dye done last monday and my period started yesterday, I'm just a bit concerned as it seems to be very heavy and well mine used to be medium to light is this just heavier due to what was done?

Hi ladies I hope u r all well sorry but I haven't had a chance to read the 20-30 pages since I was last on. Just to let u all know my appointment went well they took loads of blood from both if us and they will decide what treatment will be best for us from the results, but if all is well would will be due to start whatever treatment we have round Jan 2013 and it will be funded so we are over the moon with the outcome xx

Hey Tash thats good news. Let us know what the results come back with.

Gilmore - glad the op went well... can't help you with your lap&dye question, but i can kind of see how that would be normal as they've been poking around in there, so it might make you have a slightly different period than usual.

@Fisher, the IVF rates are a package deal, they charge based on how many rounds you purchase. They dont cover the medications though, which I know are expensive. They also charge $$ for monitoring during the procedure in their office as well. But, regardless it is still cheaper in my home town than it is in my current state. I might purchase 2 rounds. But as long as you have enough eggs you can do a frozen embryo transfer which is free, as long as you do it within 12 months of the IVF cycle. The only cost is the medications once again.

@Gilmore, I had a very long period after my surgery and it was heavier as well. My first period lasted 7 days after my surgery. I had spotting for 4 days and full flow for the rest of them. My next period was more like it used to be but it had heavier flow on the second day, so in conclusion I do think the surgery can change your cycle.

Hello Ladies,
How are you all doing? Sorry I have been MIA lately. The weekends are my day to spend with the hubby. We were pretty busy this weekend. Today I have to go pay bills and send out the boys Christmas gifts. we feel horrible but this year money was tight and we only got them 1 gift a piece and 2 dvds to share. Last year we spent about 75-100$ a piece on them. I am still waiting on my referral for the specialist and at this point I am waiting for AF to get here so I can get my blood work done. Unless this 3 days of clomid worked for me and I end up pregnant

Gilmore I have no idea. I haven't had those tests done.

Wannabe--how much were the meds for your IUI?

My clomid 50 mg was 20 bucks at Walgreens but that is because my RX plan covered it. My ovidrel injection would of been 97 bucks, but the mail order pharmacy messed up my order info and it got delayed so they gave me a coupon discount for the ovidrel and it cost 75 bucks and I paid 10 bucks for shipping, for a total of 85 bucks. The ovidrel gets overnighted on ice packs to keep it cool, and when you get it you have to put it in the fridge to keep it cool. My mail order pharmacy gave me a pack of hershey kisses chocolates with my order and i thought that was really sweet of them to do that.

I am glad you had a good weekend!!! I can understand how hard it is with X-Mas and being able to afford gifts. I have a total of 9 nieces and nephews so it is going to be a struggle this year being able to afford gifts for all of them. Especially with us paying for the infertility stuff now. Good luck and baby dust to you for this cycle!! I hope the clomid does the trick and you get your BFP!!!

Operation - I know I shouldnt complain...I am on the same dose as you 200mg 2xs per day....I do them as vaginal inserts instead of taking them orally, which really helps. I saw you asked about pricing of meds for IUI....I am on femara which is the same as clomid and it is about $60, then I have to buy gonal F which is about $556 (we added injectables to our IUI cycle to increase our chances), ovidrel is about $75....and then the progesterone suppositories which run about $80 for the TWW. Then the IUI will cost roughly $300 each pop...we are doing back to back IUI's just to make sure we dont miss out on the timing of ovulation. So this IUI is expensive...but worth it if we get the elusive BFP!

ickle - Gotcha, well hey its awesome that you are in the tww!

Gilmore - I am so happy everything went well! When can you start ttc again? After my surgery my af was heavier...but I didnt have a lap/dye...I had hysterscopy and then an open myomectomy for fibroids...I would imagine it woudl be the same though.

Pnut - sounds like you and I are both waiting for af so we can move on!

gilmore, mine was incredibly heavy after my lap and dye, but only for 1 month, then back to normal
hi to everyone else, silently stalking again but baby dust to everyone

Tasha - hi huni, glad things are getting moving huni roll on January 2013 ! X

Amy - glad every thing went ok, some times I think it's so much information to take in when your coming round, hopefully you will find out morein November - not to sure about AF after lap and dye hopefully other girls can help you

Lacey - the kids won't mind at all huni it's the thought that counts x

Ttc / Lacey - (sounds strange) but hope AF comes soon for you both

Pink - good luck for tomorrow, keep us posted

Hope every one else is ok

 

[sugarpi24]

I don't think ive posted this on here yet but I have my HSG Friday...super excited and nervous! And then we talk about metformin afterwards.

 

[gilmore85]

@ttc i can start again as soon as I feel able to, registrar even said that for 2 cycles after fertility could be at a peak as everything that was in there has kinda been flushed out

 

[wannabeprego]

Early tomorrow morning is my ultrasound to look at the number and size of my follicles and my blood work to check my E2 and LH levels. Wish me luck because if everything looks good than I will do my trigger shot tomorrow and the insemination should be Friday!!!


I am a little nervous about the appointment tomorrow and I have been doing OPK's to make sure I don't ovulate too early so I don't waste my money!!

I am trying to guess what the number of DH is going to have for the insemination. I am going to guess that he is going to have about 6 million sperm.

Anybody else want to guess and throw out a number??

I just hope he has over 5 million still because that is the minimum required to be eligible for the IUI. Although if his numbers are really low than at least I won't have to wonder if we should do another IUI or not and we can just go straight to IVF & ICSI. I wont have to make up my mind what to do next because his SA will decide for me.

Gilmore - that is great news.....

Wannabe - good luck I can imagine how anxious you are.

AFM - finally cramping...oh I hope AF hurries up

Thanks for the good luck!!!! I hope AF arrives soon for you so you can move on with your IUI cycle!!! I bet you are excited about yours as well!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

oh you have no idea....in the 2 1/2 years I have been ttc I have not wished for my af to come this bad...hahaha...every little cramp makes me run to the bathroom to check....LOL...wow what a reversal huh?

 

[ashknowsbest]

Wannabe - good luck with your scan tomorrow morning!

TTCbaby - happy you're cramping so you can move forward with your IUI! I'm awaiting my AF too and can't wait for her to show!!

 

[wannabeprego]

Thanks for the good luck wishes Ash!!!

Have you had any side effects from the Lupron injections? Are you getting soar from doing the injections everyday? I am being nosey because I am wondering what will be in store for me if I make it to IVF!!!

How funny that you and TTCbaby are both wishing and waiting on AF to arrive!! LOL. Usually it is always the opposite.. LOL....

 

[ashknowsbest]

I've noticed that I've been exhausted and I've had these weird sharp pains in what seems to be my ovaries but other than that no side effects. I am reallllly tired though which is annoying ... for example yesterday I slept from 11AM until 4PM ... just so tired. I am also coming down with a head cold so I'm sure that doesn't help. No I'm not sore from the shots, they don't hurt and I'm so used to them now it's like .. normal routine for me. No bruises or anything!

 

[ttcbaby117]

I know....how often is it that we are praying for af...lol
