[laustiredttc]

good and bad news really hun:

i dont have a R/tube and the R/ovary is small. There was endo on the L/ovary but that was removed and everything else looks fine. Going back in a month to discuss whats next, poss iui or ivf? trying to be positive

 

[MalaMae]

Laurstirdttc,

I'm sorry. I know it sounds bad, but don't worry. You have another ovary working fine. One of my girlfriends with one ovary has 2 kids.
Are you ovulating normally?

 

[laustiredttc]

yeah i done alot of research and found as long as i have one ovary working then it should be ok. As far as i am aware and so far with all of the other tests that have been done i seem to be ovulating normally so thats good

 

[g_and_t]

Sorry to hear that!! But as you say its not all bad and you at least still have options! I've also read many stories of ladies worse off who have succeeded so don't lose faith!

How was the procedure? Is it really painful?

I received my pre op appointment letter today which is really fast! I wasn't expecting anything for months... Im sure the actual op will still be ages... But its bloody sods law that the one day I def can't do this month as I'm away on a supplier visit is the day they're proposing so I'm going to have to reschedule. So annoyed.. But I can't cancel this.

Went for my second acupuncture tonight with my db and it was a bit uncomfy as I had needles in soles of my feet amongst other places and it was really sensitive... I do feel completely chilled out tho... Very relaxing. Id def recommend it!

Take care
T Xxx

I wanted to share a story with you and is not one of those "heard from a friend's friend...", but actually a client told me her own story. She an her husband were trying to have a baby for 5 years. He had very low count and there was something wrong with his sperm DNA fragmentation, so all the doctors told them 100% no chance of baby and only option would be donors sperm. They declined it. Started going to an acupuncturist (I'm using the same one) and he told her she has endo even before the doctors diagnozed it. They sticked with the chinese doctor and acupuncture and herbs. And...bam!!! Pregnant!! They have 3 kids now- all natural conception!! I only forgot to ask her how long she went to this doctor. Anyway is nice to hear such positive story since I know how sometimes especially around our AF we get depressed and feel hopeless. It gives me hope!
Tomorrow is my 3rd appointment with him.

PS. When she got pregnant with the first one, she continued going for acupuncture to prevent possible miscarriage and then, by her pulse, told her she is carrying a girl, again before the doctors were able to see on ultrasound.

 

[laustiredttc]

hey gnt yes it was a bit painful. Still sore now but nowhere near as bad as what i thought it was going to be. Thanks for the positives hun. Good luck with the app

hey malamae think i am going to try acupucture myself at some point. Going to get moving house out of the way first! Hope it brings you your wish

 

[g_and_t]

Thanks that's a great story!!! I love hearing all the positives about acupuncture! Would be really interesting to know how long it took before she fell. I have a friends sister who tried for 2 years and after a month of acupuncture she was preg. so I'm feeling really positive about my treatment...

Good luck everyone... Fingers crossed Xxx

 

[icklelady]

I hope you dont mind but i feel. The same been trying for 3years and 6 months nothing really pointing to any areas as to what the problem is altho oh has a 11year old from a previois relaionship he has not given a sample yet i had a scan and a tv one as well which the songographer said she didnt find anything bit to my suprise i have been sent another appointment to have it done again which i have had knots in my stomach ever since im now convinced they have found end i do have all symptoms of this. But i must thank you all on sharing stories cause this site has given me some more questions and tests i have not had done yet im feeling positive at the mo just fingers crossed for friday scan

 

[laustiredttc]

i hope it goes well for you on fri hun. Try not too worry too much and know that these apps get us closer to helping us find out whats going on

 

[g_and_t]

hey ladies... hows everyone doing?

just thought i'd check in and see how everyone is doing... has anyone been affected by Sandy? hope you are all safe and well!!

so monday is my pre op appointment for my lap, but i still havent been given a date for the actual op which is really annoying... i just want a date so i can get my head around it...

i had my 3rd session with the acupuncturist on thursday and i asked him about my belly ring... apparently it really is a no-no having peircings other than in the lobes of your ears as it can block the energy flows around your body!! in chinese meds the conception line runs right through your belly button and so its not a good idea to have it pierced.... he advised me to take mine out so i did as soon as i got home. lets face it, if i get pregnant it would need to come out anyway before my bump started growing.... and if it helps me conceive then even better.

its been a very interesting experience and i recommend it to everyone. he advised that my partner come with me and has been showing him points to massage on my hands feet and legs, and he has been so fascinated watching the dr working on me. i think he personally likes watching me jump when i flinch when some of the needles twinge me... its not painful but sometimes when he hits the right spot it can feel a bit like when you bang your funny bone and you get that spasm or shock up your arm.... a bit like that..... but not all the time.... then you lie there and relax for 10-15 mins...

i swear i am sleeping like an angel lately and feel so much more chilled out. well worth it!!

anyway thats all from me... hopefully i will have more news after my pre op...

chat soon

Hi ladies!!! Been very busy and forgot to post the new event
Didn't see much of Sandy since I'm in Toronto, but I know some areas were affected a bit, but nothing scary.
I'm glad the acupuncture is having a good effect on you. It is amazing how much it is relaxing. My whole mood changed.
So the news: after 4 rounds of acupuncture, we noticed a small change. Apparently I had chemical pregnancy for the first time. I don't think it ever happened before (or maybe it did but I never noticed). I really thought I wasn't able to conceive at all. I think I'm very close I know for some of you it's not a big deal, but for somebody that never conceived before- it's a big thing

On 11dpo I had just a little bit of blood on the toilet paper- which turned out to be implantation spotting, but than on 14dpo I got my period (right on time) which was totally different from any period I ever had. First started with a clump falling out of me (half inch), then my heavy flow, and pain around my uterus with a lot of cramps (I never have painful periods, only lower backache). So now on CD3 no pain anywhere.

The acupuncturist told me I definitely have implantation problems, so he gave me some pills to take to clean up the uterus from stagnant blood. Then he gave me another pills to start taking on CD3 to strengthen the ovaries. He taught my husband how to massage (it's more lifting up) my spine in order help the circulation. Wherever I have problem on the spine, that part is very painful, but with time we noticed I scream less )) meaning it's not that painful anymore as the blood starts to flow normally in those areas.

I'm becoming more and more confidant in traditional medicine than the western.

So I had my pre op apt on Monday and they still can't give me a date!!!! Grrr! She said prob only after xmas now.... just want to get it out the way! She did say she can put me on a cancellation list but means id have to go in at 24 hours notice.... But I don't mind that. So I've told my boss just in case and now I wait..

Feeling a bit down as well cos my temperature dropped this morning which is always a sign af is on her way... I was really sure this month was gonna work with the acupuncture and little bit of weight I've lost and not drinking... But I guess we just have to wait for the lap and be patient....

 

[laustiredttc]

I just cant believe that they cant give you a date yet! Seriously the nhs are so wishy washy i dont think they know their ars&*& form their elbows sometimes. I hope that you get a cancellation hun, the waiting is not nice especially when you know what your waiting for. Hope you get it before xmas fx

Feeling fed up today but then I always feel this way on day 1 of af...

Hi Ladies,

I need your help.
Please take a look at my chart in the signature. For the first time I don't have an ovulation dip and the tests and signs are kinda confusing. What's your opinion, when did I ovulate? It says 13th day, but as per the signs might be 12?

 

[popchick75]

Hi Ladies,

I hope you don't mind me joining you. I have a 12yr old dd from a previous relationship and have been trying for #2 for around 10 years now. I am also 'unexplained.' I've already gone through IUIs and IVF with no luck.

I'm curious about everyone's experience with getting a lap done....i think it's the one test that i haven't had done yet. How long was the recovery? When could you resume normal activities?

I just started acupuncture 2 weeks ago. I already feel a little bit less stressed so I'm praying something will come out of it. She's a fantastic doctor! Many of the local REs recommend that their patients see her while they are going through IVF due to a higher success rate with acupuncture. She told me she thought it was a hormonal imbalance and bad blood flow. I guess only time will tell. I'm 37 so I feel like i am almost out of time.

 

[MalaMae]

Hi popchick!
Sorry to hear IUI and IVF had no success. The unexplained is the most furstrating!
Acupuncture is amazing thing. After 5 treatments (1/week) I can tell my BBT are much higher and my hands and feet are much warmer, not to mention feeling relaxed. Last month I already had a chemical for the first time in my life.
I believe soon we'll start announcing BFPs
