Sorry Hockey....

Well its Halloween and the witch greeted my nice and early this morning! Strange cycle. I guess all the meds changed things up for me just to screw with my head!! It just never gets any easier.

No, I don't think it gets any easier either.

Sorry hockey.

Sarah - I will be reading your journey and so excited for you! I hope to be following your path soon!

Greenfingers - your positive makes me want to start IVF so badly but I will get there after the new year. Two more IUI attempts and I'm there!

evil witch
do you go in CD3 to start another IUI cycle then?
it wont be long till you are doing IVF too...and who knows perhaps your IUI will work before then.

Hockey so sorry...it's one month closer to IVF though but here's hoping you get your BFP before that xx

 

[GreenFingers]

Greenfingers, I know that you have a ticker that's hidden, but could you change your status to pregnant?

Start celebrating that you're not ttc anymore.

I hadn't even noticed that!!

 

[hockey24]

Yes, go on Wednesday morning for the 3 day scan and make sure there are no issues with another IUI go round. So 1 down, 2 to go and then its on for IVF in 2012!!

By then, I'll have a bunch of acupuncture done and I'm hoping that will help the cause too!

so sorry Hockey...hang in there

Hi gals,

I always keep an eye on this thread because I'm pretty sure I'll end up in here doing IUI or IVF in due time. Currently waiting out the period before you get freebies here! (another 6 months). Anyway, you all give me a lot of inspiration - thank you!

So, I just had a quick question about Gonal F for those that have been on it. I've been on clomid up til now... still am actually, but only 50mg and my FS is reluctant to up it to 100mg because I have had a poor response in the endometrium area (i.e. has made periods even more neglible than they were before). Instead he's thinking about Gonal F... said for me to think about whether I want to go down that path (I guess 'expense' wise). I'm pretty happy to try anything really, but wondered what the experiences were here? Good, bad, indifferent? (vs. expense of it). Is it generally thought to be a useful thing?

I had a IV ultrasound on CD8 and my lining was 4mm, and 2 x 10mm follicles. I'm having another one CD13 and he'll make a call at that point what his opinion is re. the Gonal F (I presume for next cycle?)

Thanks for any opinions anyway.

I was on Gonal-F and had no problems...the amount of follicles I think are also dependent on the dosage he puts you on

how many cycles have you been on the clomid now? I did 3 before doing 1 cycle of gonal f. I think its worth trying if no success with clomid, they do say the injectables are overall more successful but thats why they are much more $$$. I didnt have success with either but many people do. So I would recommend trying the gonal f if you can afford it

Hi. Just thought I would pop back and see how people are getting on. I have had a tough time being pregnant, but I know I am lucky to be pregnant. I have had 4 episodes of bleeding, a couple of bouts of abdominal pains, extra scans, diagnosed with placenta previa. But I am still going and now 22 weeks pregnant. I have put off buying any baby stuff as I always have this underlying fear that something will happen. I know that is probably crazy now that I am 22 weeks. Looking at prams, cots etc, but still not even bought a teddy. My fingers are crossed for everyone. Sam x

so sorry to hear of your struggles, but glad you are still going strong I would be the same and wont buy baby stuff till much later. nice of you to pop back, please share some baby dust!

Hey Greenfingers - how are you doing? I think I remember that they don't do any scans or tests where you are until 7 weeks? Is that right?

How are you feeling? Any morning sickness?

 

[readyformore]

Googly-have you thought about trying femara?

Femara has been proven to work well for those that either don't respond well to clomid, or have side effects from it. My RE prescribed it for me b/c clomid gave me ovarian cysts and thinned my lining.

It might be worth a shot. I'm sure it has to be cheaper than gonal F.

Hello ladies – I thought I will pop in after receiving an invite. I read the whole thread hee hee

At present I am in the TWW wishing I have a fast forward button. I am 9 dpo today. My cycle usually begins around the 10th of each month. Just so my 3rd anniversary is on Nov.10, so no for three days for us. Thus far I have had 4 pregnancies and 1 live birth. I know there is hope one day so can bear a child for my husband. He has none but love’s my son like his own. My fur baby at present is keeping us busy she is a Yorkshire terrier.

I wish everyone all the best
