Anyone NATURAL ttc #1 for 2 years, zero BFP and all results good, no health issues?

[g_and_t]

Haha i had a few polos and they helped my throat which was so sore and dry after the op... I couldnt get enough water in me lol...

Feeling better today although still quite a bit of spotting... Not sure if you had hysteroscopy as well but how long did you bleed/spot for?

 

[laustiredttc]

i did hun, i had exactly the same as you and i think i must have spotted at least for five days afterwards. It would go away and then come back a little bit. As long as you dont spot for over a week you should be ok huni. Just make sure you keep an eye out for water infections etc.... as they're the most common things i think after the op.

i think the worst for me was getting a shower and changing the dressings, i'm quite squeamish and it took me an age getting them off lol. If you are squeamish though hun just get your oh to help you.

 

[g_and_t]

Haha no that part was fine... Took them off yest and i was dying to shower day after the op cos they left me covered in iodine so i was all yellow and felt yukky... I cant see my navel stitches as im a bit sore bending down but its all fairly tucked away... Very neat!

I've sent db to get me cranberry juice to try prevent uti and am drinking lots of water...

 

[laustiredttc]

im very impressed, i was balking with mine and dh had to help me shower

thats what i drank as well hun, but you sound fine so i wouldnt worry about anything. You can sit back now, relax and really enjoy xmas

Hi ladies

I hope you don't mind me joining this thread. Me 27 an DH 27, have been married for 3.5 years and we are on cycle 22 ttc. We have never had a BFP. We have had all the test, SA done twice all okay, me blood test done twice both showed I'm ovulating, had the internal ultrasound everything looked great, had HSG in November and the doc said everything normal, but still no BFP. Im waiting to ovulate in the next week, this will be 2nd cycle since HSG, still pinning some hope on this being our month as I know our chances are slightly increased for up to 3 months after. We have our appointment to see FS on 28th Dec I'm wondering what he'll suggest as we are unexplained? Clomid mayb, but I ovulate so not sure? I've never had any period trouble, always regular like clockwork every 25/26 days. I chart on FF and every month it shows I ovulate on CD11/12. I've also been using the CBFM since June. This month im going all out with pre seed, monitor, charting, viatamins: Evening Primrose oil, frolic acid, royal jelly, flax seed oil and drinking grapefruit juice! I just don't want to end up down the iui/ivf road without trying EVERYTHING natural first! I'm lucky me and DH are staying strong through this together but it's hard going when the 2 year mark is approaching. It's so nice to know we are not alone and you ladies can relate to this tough journey. Merry Christmas by the way. Let's hope 2013 is the year for us all x

Merry Christmas everyone!! Ho, ho, ho!! Hope Santa was good to you all and brought some BFP

 

[awifey]

Also ttc. 15 months now and no bfp. Husband and I haven't been to a doctor yet, a bit scared I suppose. We are also living abroad and are unsure of the health services here.


I have given up diet sodas and a strong addiction to caffeine. :/

 

[laustiredttc]

santa has been mean this year to us and we have not even been naughty!

hey ladies...happy new year to everyone... hope you have had a good xmas break...

so i survived the laparoscopy and hysteroscopy ordeal... right as rain now - luckily had no problems with my recovery... looking forward to going back to zumba tomorrow to work off some of that xmas over indulgence!!

AF arrived on new years day... i wasnt expecting any surprises as i had the lap right at the beginning of my cycle so we were only able to get one or 2 bd's in by the time i was feeling ok enough after the op to dtd. and im not sure we caught it in time...

but i have had a really heavy AF (for me) and think its from all the poking about maybe??? im hoping that this cycle will be good for us now that all the cobwebs are clear

So im taking the clomid again, trying to get back into the zumba zone to keep fit and crossing fingers that something happens soon.

I chased the clinic today about getting my follow up appointment booked so we can talk about going on the IUI waiting list. i really think that will be the answer for us... DB is convinced its him causing the problems as he only ever has about 1.5 mls and it doesnt go very far when he gets there.... i think with a bit of 'help' getting the boys in the right place, we should be ok (she says )

hope youre all well ladies.... keep in touch
T xxxx

Hey hun i wouldnt worry about the heavy period, it will just be your cycle adjusting after the op. Just started running myself, never done zumba but hear it is amazing

 

[Chris_25]

Hi girls i'm currently on cycle 14 and still never had a bfp! It's so frustrating and all I get told is everything looks wonderful. woopy! I have not yet had a laporoscopy though, but i'm sure that will be fine too, of course! I've always suffered from ovarian cysts and I've had many rupture a while ago and i'm wondering if that could have caused damage.
I really hope you all get a bfp very soon fingers crossed!

Hi Sizzles,

I always say, if everything is ok and we still haven't concived then all tests haven't been done. there has to be something.

The problem is that doctors don't know all there is to know about reproduction. So there may be several things wrong that they don't understand and that they don't have a test for. So, heartbreaking as it is, many of us will never have an explanation as to why we cannot conceive.

This is very true my IVF Dr even admitted it, he said hes pretty sure something somewhere is wrong, but there are things they just don't have a test for.

I think it total I was TTC for 7 years, my first IVF worked, I never got an explanation, and I never will.

I would not advice holding out for an explanation, it might never come.

 

[laustiredttc]

hey ladies hope everyone is well! I have chilled out on everything for the pas two months so just bding every other day and taking vits. Feeling more normal now and less emotionally strained. Also had my first acupuncture app today and it was totally relaxing. Really looking forward to the next app.

Major Rant Alert, sorry!! (UK ladies)

I am so angry... I had my review appointment last week with the clinic...

I have been going through all the steps til now.... had the tests, had the HSG, went on clomid, had a laparoscopy etc etc.... and last year in october time when i had an appt with the clinic the doc told me that under surrey (UK) guidelines I qualified for 3 rounds of IUI and then 1 fresh and 1 frozen IVF but we hoped that something would work before then.

so I went on the wait list for the lap and carried on with clomid and had the lap in december. i then went back to see the doc last week (very excited) about going on the wait list for IUI. And she said I didnt qualify for funding!!!!!!! Apparently because my gp surgery is registered under kingston PCT they dont offer funding for IUI at all.... all they can do is put me on the waiting list for IVF but that takes at least a year!!

So I went from being told I would get IUI to now being sent on my way after all these tests with nothing other than a polite "good luck, dont give up" from the doc.

I am so so so heartbroken... I really thought this was it for us.I really had my hopes pinned on getting those 3 cycles of IUI and it working for us. My partner has problems ejaculating and we were convinced this would work!!

I am fed up with the postcode lottery here in the UK. just cos my GP isnt in the right borough!!!! There is a GP surgery less than 3 miles away from where I live that falls into the Surrey PCT area and if your GP is in surrey pct they can offer up to SIX rounds of IUI and 2 fresh 2 frozen IVF!!!! BUt I cant register there as I dont live within the catchment area!!!

So I am really fed up, frustrated, heart broken, tired despondent..... I spent the entire evening in tears after that appointment. How could she make that mistake? Surely that's not right. she cant tell me one thing, get our hopes up and then tell me no!!!

Does anyone think I have a chance if I complain to the head of the dept??

I don't want to have to lie or cheat the system but if moving to another GP or moving house into an area that does offer funding is the answer then I may have to consider that.

Im sorry for the big fat moan but last week was really the lowest point in this journey so far and I am finding it very hard to feel positive about anything right now...

xx

oh sweetie i'm so sorry, what a bunch of complete and utter arseholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when i was living in surrey and the fs there was like , they are really cutting down on giving out funding to people' so i would most def complain huni. There is also something called exceptional circumstances policy that you can bring up with your gp but i would most certainly complain. I think if you shout out enough they will sit up and take notice. Dont let it get you down gnt you can still fight the system.

myself and dh have found out that we qualify for ivf but have to wait until august first before we can be reffered as the fs said that we are diagnosed as unexplained even though i dont have no bloomin right tube at all and my amh is low and i have a high estradiol level. They are all just robotic twits that have no souls i think!!!
