Anyone LTTTC Number One?

Serenyx - I take 200 twice a day. I started taking it I would say in December and the cycle we did in February my eggs were improved. I have extremely low AMH but my estrogen levels were all good which is why my new RE thought he would be able to do something and he was right. Best of Luck to you.

Wynter - your doctor is probably going to send you for a lot of blood tests before he or she really tells you anything. Your DH may have to go for a semen analysis also so be prepared for that.

Probably sounds silly, but it would make my day for the dr to send me for blood tests! I have warned DH that they will probably request analysis and he [rolls his eyes and then] says "anything for you and our baby." Haha, he's been so great throughout all of this and I can't wait to make this happen for him!

talk to the lady that deals with the insurance today about IVF and see if our insurance covers anything....she said most likely since they have to put it as it leading up to IVF (all the lab work) than most likely not. I asked if we were to do the 3 IVF program for $23,400 and if it took on the first try if we would get money back and she said no...we would still have to pay it all she said thats what the down fall is about that 100% refund program. but we would have to pay $1,016 out of pocket for the anesthesia and such. And we will have to pay for the medications out of pocket if our insurance doesnt cover those. She is calling the insurance company to get answers and emailing me exact prices that we need. so guess we will just try and pay off as much debt as possible and then apply. now for those that did the IVF did you have to pay it all up front before they went and did the IVF procedure? She is telling me that you do...but i think that means that you have to get the loan and then you can start the procedure while making payments...idk im confused about that.

I went to the doctor for the first time today and I actually felt kind of good about it. They gave me the info to have DH do a semen analysis, they "felt around" and they told me to come back next week for an ultrasound and then on CD3 for blood work. No talk of me being too young or "don't worry its not a big deal" or anything discouraging! Let's just hope I can make it through the next few weeks with out going insane and figure out what the problem is!

Hi, everyone ,

I thing it is time for me to tell u my story. I have been reading for a while in the forum, sometimes posting but I don't know why I have been scared to share my story. So here it is:

My name is Desi and I am 28. My hubby is Presley 31. We got married 2006. At the time I was studying my bachelor's degree and because I was all the time in a lab dealing with radioactive elements, I could not afford it to be pregnant. I started taking anti baby pill in March 2005. Two years later in March 2007 I stopped the pill because I had side effects that I could not stand. In August the same year we decided to NTNP . The months were passing and nothing was happening. In June 2008 and a year later I did blood test and both times my hormones were just right. My husband did not want to test. At the time our live was very difficult. So, I just decided to continue NTNP.
Eventually, we moved in UK. I graduated second Master's degree. And one day I told my husband "I will arrange an appointment with our GP and we will start testing to see why we can't have children. " He agreed and on 4th of June we had our first consultation. The same month we decided really to try for a baby. I looked in internet ovulation calculator. Thankfully, I wasn't too busy at work so we had a lot of sex. About five days after my O, I started feeling weird. I had constipation, very sore nipples, nausea and I thought " OMG I think I am pregnant". I did a test about 10dpo and I expected to see again one line. I had already started feeling my breasts less tender. I looked at the test and I thought my eye were playing tricks on me. There were these so much desirable . I called my husband.he said he could see them. I did not know what to think. My husband got very excited. But he was not in my body. I knew something was not right. The same day I got very strong pain when going to pee. The next day I went to see a nurse and the nurse test was . I did another one two days later and the result was . My AF came with a day delay. I am sure that there was something. For me and my hubby we lost a child. This broke our hearts.
Our next appointment with the doctor is on 17 September. They will tell us how many eggs I have, my scan results and what quality of sperm my husband has. I am so scared and excited. I don't want to hear bad news.
I started doing O test and I think I have every month. I really hope that soon will be expecting our first child. If not we are open for adoption. I can't see my life without children. I love children and I can love another child as mine.

Sorry, for the long story ladies. I pray for all of u and I just want to tell u that patience is the key for success. When you feel u are loosing your patience don't hesitate to write to me. I am a good listener.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi, Everyone! Good luck on your current cycle! FF, good luck waiting it out...I imagine that's really hard to deal with Hope OH is on the mend soon!

AFM, I got my period over the weekend when the FS office is closed. I just heard back, and course they have no appts available this morning, so I have to wait until tomorrow. Grrrrr!

I ALWYAS get my period on a weekend, and my stupid follicles keep maturing on a weekend. The office is only half staff on Saturday (so no lab) and closed on Sunday. Can't my body EVER do it's thing on a Tuesday or Wed??

So IF I don't have a cyst in my ovaries this time, we'll do the Femara/IUI again. And at home we'll do the artificial insemination to boost our chances.

Hey everybody i hope u are all well im just popping in to wish u all loads of luck xx

Congratulations on the baby boy pnuts xx

FF I hope ur husband is better soon xx

AFM: Jayden is now 11 1/2 weeks and has been full of cold for about 3 weeks, he's been in hospital as he has stopped breathing a few times which is really scary. Luckily I have a sensor pad with my baby monitors and if he stops breathing an alarm goes off. Just want him to get better now, apart from that he is a really happy and content baby xx
