Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[ickle pand]

Happy new year everyone.

Welcome to the new ladies. Everyone here is a great support

Nothing much to tell. I got a peak on my CBFM this morning so trying to catch the egg. I've not been temping this cycle with the holidays. Today should've been the first birthday of the baby we lost. Feeling a bit sad but not too bad. It's a bit strange that I got my peak today, hopefully we get a nice present from this sad day.

I'm back to work tomorrow, which is a bit of a thought but least it's only for 2 days before the weekend.

Hey Ladies - couldn't sleep so checking in with everyone. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.

TTC - I have been stalking your journal. Keeping my fingers crossed for you honey. I know everything is going to be ok

Ickle - Hopefully you can catch that egg.

Lucy - How are you doing?

Welcome to the group. This is a really great group and I hope you do enjoy it here.

AFM - Being seeing the new doctor and so far so good. This month we are just monitoring and next month we will do our IUI. The drug protocol he is going to have me on is so different then the one I was on for my IVF cycle. I am thankful it is a lot less drugs then the last time. I am hoping this protocol won't shut my system down like the last time but only time will tell.

What is your new protocol? Is it basically an IVF protocol with IUI instead of IVF?

 

[ttcbaby117]

tarot - yes please explain the protocol...fingers crossed this will work for you!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm going to make an appointment with a specialist today. Today is CD 3, and I don't think AF will be here for much longer. I've been having very painful periods lately, like major cramping and headaches for 4 days before AF, then another 2 into AF, but it seems like my body isn't getting rid of enough blood. Hopefully the RE will be able to shed some light on that.

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Hi ladies happy new year I hope u are all well and had a good Christmas xx

Wannabe congratulations on having twins I'm so glad everything is ok xx

AFM I had my dating scan before Christmas and they gave me a due date of 30th June so a little earlier than original xx

TTC and Operation - He is not putting me on anything to slow down my cycle. So there is no birth control or Lupron. He is afraid that all of that stuff shut my body down completely. My IVF cycle I was on 450 of Folistim with 75 ml of Menoupur. I am now going to be on 150 of Folistim and the Menoupur will stay the same. He is hoping that the less is more theory will work. Right now we are ultrasounding and blood testing this cycle to see how my body is working. I have one egg right now that was 17.5 Monday 12/31 but the ovulation kit hasn't turned yet. I am cd20 today so hoping maybe it turns today.

gotcha Tarot...well again, I really hope this does the trick...praying for ya!

Hi Ladies I have been ttc for a year now with my fiancee only to find out that the reason I have never concieved throughout the yrs since 2 failed relationships since 2000. So I thought for so many yrs that it was just fate since the relationships weren't bout shit neways I thanked God till this day I never did get pregnant with those jerks but Im 29 this New Year Im totally in Love with my Fiancee of 3ys for 2 of those yrs I was on birth control so sorry Im rambling jus have to vent because I found out in Nov 2012 I had pcos was put on Met 3xday 1500 mg total. I was having a lot of diarhhea but honestly I didn't mind it because I was always constipated sorry maybe tmi but neways Im so upset because I always had periods since I can remember every mth after 2008 maybe they would last longer than normal but Ive always had periods, for the last month and now starting yesterday I have had three full periods. I don't kno what the heck is going on with my body or when im ovulating or what??????? Anybody experience this on Met??????????????

 

[ttcbaby117]

hey Shana - sorry I dont have any experience with Met but I have heard that a diet change is necessary when on it....have you tried maybe low carb? I would speak to a Fertility Dr if possible to see if there is anything they can do to help you get pregnant! Good luck hun!

 

[Tarotempres]

Shana - my only experience with Metformin it made me extremely dizzy and dropped my blood sugar way too low so they had to take me off of it. Has your regular doctor tested your Hemoglobin A1C to see what your levels are and have they checked your hemoglobin markers?

 

[lucylou7]

Ickle - (hugs) I can imagine it must be a hard time for you x

Taro - I'm good thank you started my menopur today so getting there hope your iui gets you your BFP huni xx

Tasha - wow that's not long away Hun bet you can't wait

Shana - I'm sorry I don't have any advise for you hope some one else on here can help you get some answers x

Afm - started my menopur today back next Tuesday for bloods and scan on Thursday things seem to be going so fast ! X

 

[ttcbaby117]

Lucy - that sounds awesome....time if flying!

 

[pinkfee]

Hi all

Happy new year to every one, hope every one has had a nice break!

Hi pink - how you huni? How's that bump of yours? Well I start stimming tomorrow and go for bloods 8/01 and bloods and scan on 10/01 so getting close now I'm still very nervous :-/ they've changed a few things this time and I'm off my RA medication so hopefully we will get our BFP this time thanks for asking huni

Good luck with the stimming, I'm sure that things will be different this time, I know it's difficult but try to keep positive.

Bump is growing steadily (I've got a pic in my journal) and feeling lots of movement/kicking. Things have been stressful though as my father died two days ago so struggling to deal with a lot of emotions on heightened hormones.

Good luck to all you newbies, this is the best thread on bnb, you'll get plenty of support from the girls on here.
