[wannabeprego]

@Ash, I am sorry your cycle is taking longer than expected and you can't start your lupron yet. I hope you OV soon. Good luck!!

@Operation, that is great news!! I am so happy you saw the heart beat. H&H 9 months to you!!

 

[Tarotempres]

Operation that is great.

Hi everyone. I've been so busy - I took on a new job to distract myself from TTC.... AF arrived today. Doc. wants me to have a reapeat HSG before moving on... and if it comes up clear then I'll do IUI w/ clomid and ovidrel the cycle after this one.

I'm SO impatient!!!

 

[OperationBbyO]

I know it seems like forever but you have a plan!! Does he want the repeat HSG to get a better look at the one tube?

Oh congrats Operation I'm so glad things are working out for you!!!

Yeah he wants me to go to a specialist who does this special type of HSG where if there is a mucus blockage (tmi..eugghh..) they can remove it there and then... because he would rather know if the left side is really blocked or not before doign treatment, because then he might up the clomid dose so both sides ovulate each time or something...

 

[Tarotempres]

Ella good luck with the repeat HSG. Did your doctor suggest mucinex or anything if he thinks its mucus?

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

Taro - he didn't mention mucinex. I think he reckons there isn't even a blockage in the first place. I guess we'll find out... my last HSG was so painful I don't think I want to through it again!!!

 

[Dazed]

Good luck Ella!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Good luck Ella!

Not much going on with me. I have just finished my pre IVF bloodwork and now am just waiting around for March. Oh and I am contending with 2 cysts from my last IUI cycle which is hindering my ability to ovulate this month so I am going to start on Castor Oil packs to see if I can get somethign moving down there! If not, it means more blood work and more medication to get the cyst to go away! I am hoping to prevent that!

Hello Ladies,
sorry I have been MIA, I am doing online classes for my bachelors degree for business. By the time I am done for the day I don't feel like looking at a computer screen. February 4, 2013 we find out our results for all of our test, my hsg, blood work and hubby's semen analysis.

How are you all doing. Congrats to new BFP if I missed any

 

[Tarotempres]

Ella- try to take an extra advil this time to take the edge off and hopefully it won't be so painful.

Just saying hello. Haven't had much to say lately. I'm currently waiting for ov (natural cycle off clomid). I was going to temp this cycle but I haven't remembered once to grab my therm in the morning lol!

How's everyone else doing?

 

[ESwemba84]

Just popping in to say hi!

My first RE appointment is next Monday. I'm excited. I also started my weight loss journey this week and it is going really well.

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Tarotempres]

ES - good luck with you appointment and on your WL journey. WL and TTC are hard together. I am here if you need support as I am doing the same.

Ickle - How are you doing? I hope the clomid works. I've missed you.

 

[ickle pand]

Thanks tarot. I'm hopefully going to ov in the next few days so trying to catch the eggy but since its a natural cycle I don't think anything will happen this time.

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

not really sure if i could get counted in but we are NTNP from 2 years and TTC from a year and a half.. this has been very long for us because of many anovulatory cycles, BFN cycles and many many BFP within family and friends...

 

[Tarotempres]

Blue - welcome to the group.

Ickle - hopefully you will catch the egg. Sometimes miracles happen so hoping for a little miracle for you this month. How is the diet doing?

 

[ickle pand]

I've put on some weight which I'm a bit disappointed with because the nice clothes I'd bought don't fit now. I was feeling really out of control of my emotional eating, especially with the clomid so that was another reason for the break. I'm not trying to lose weight at the moment, just get back in control and stay at the weight I am. I stayed the same last week and put on a pound this week but I'm on antibiotics which can apparently make you retain fluid so hopefully it'll come off next week.

One of the ladies at my weight management group has shingles and didn't come to the group but asked the counsellor to talk to me privately incase I'm pregnant and not telling anyone yet, which was very sweet of her. I'm not pregnant yet but does anyone know if it would it have any impact if I got pregnant this cycle?

 

[pinkfee]

Ickle - sorry you're feeling a bit low, i found this on the NHS website i think your chances of having shingles is probably quite low.

[ickle pand]

Thanks. I'm actually back to my old self again now that I've stopped the clomid, so I think I'll just have to prepare myself better next time for how it's going to make me feel and just be kind to myself all cycle.

Thanks for that link too. The woman has actually just had cancer treatment so she would be considered more infectious than anyone else, I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I might phone the fertility clinic and see what they say.
