Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Maddy40]

We're unlikely to progress to full IVF due to the cost, as we just bought a house Maybe IUI if that's offered as an option. But basically for us it will be naturally, via Clomid (not considered a great option after 40yo) or IUI. And we've decided on a time limit of next August (which would make it 13 months actively TTC).

 

[Trying2b2mums]

from what i know you should be right with IUI, the reason we would have gone IVF vs IUI was bc of our situation, donor and all, but there is heaps of success with IUI and its less expensive!! FX you dont have to go down the assisted route!!

 

[Melainey]

Hello ladies

I know 2mums I am a housewife in training hehehehe

Maddy I really hope you don'thave to go down the assisted route I hope you can conceive naturally (hopefully all us ladies can )

As for me.. Myself and DH went to the doctors and I went for blood tests (he said even though that I am on CD21 the tests will still show us something! ) Ideally I should have gotten them done at around CD10.. We have to have no now for 3 days DH has to go to get his SA done in 3 days (Which is covered by medicare thankfully ) So happy that the ball is rolling now

[LLPM]

Great that the SA is covered by Medicare Melainey! I wonder if that's a WA thing? It seems strange that we would have to pay $150 for it and you'd get it for free?!
Glad the dr is doing tests for you! At least it's a step in the right direction.

 

[Melainey]

Yeah that is strange Lucy? I was thinking the same thing cause when we went into the place the first thing that I asked was how much it would be and she said if we have medicare there is no charge (which obviously we were delighted with..) Maybe you should ask around cause it could be the actual practise that doesn`tdo bulk bill???

[Trying2b2mums]

lucy, could you sweet talk your dr into bulk billing, thats what our gp has been doing, the scan place said it would be $145, but he has bulked billed everything so far for us. just taking a guess that thats what melaineys dr did, unless like you said its a WA thing.

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hey everyone! I have had a productive day, have got the bathrom prepped for painting now, will be doing that tomorrow! also looking forward to temping tomorrow morning, hopefully it will show another spike! and stay up this time!! DH is away for a couple of days, so I'm hoping we caught that eggy!!

How is everyone? well, I hope! more than usual to catch up on (well for the last few days anyway)

Hope everyone is feeling better!!

Rosie, hang on there, you may still ovulate! I hope so!!!

Melainey - you poor little chicken, I hope you're ok!!! maybe talk to the doc about not coping, they will be sure to take you serious if they know how much its affecting your life, especially on top of everything else! Sorry bout DH not getting you off! Yes, I agree - he has half an hour to think about how to get you there...he could at least do it!! and I totally agree about it changing, we used to wake eachother up a couple of times thru the night and do it.... if I did that to him now, he would go mental! haha our honeymoon was a taste of the old days, but back to normal now. lol

Pammy...forgive me if i've misunderstood....but are all of your problems because a teenage boy was jerking off??? lol just seems such a funny thing to have such drama about! haha

On the topic of how long men last..... My ex used to last 30-120 SECONDS....seriously.... it was the worst....he couldn't even do too much foreplay as it would get him there too quick. I NEVER had an orgasm with him. sorry.,...I have just never told anyone that, I thought i would share. haha never really seems appropriate to talk about sex with the ex..... haha The first time I slept with someone afterwards, it was so weird, I kept stopping, cos I assumed that he had come every time his breathing changed, or he would move differently. lol he must have thought I was such a dud! hahaha I'm so compatible with DH though, we often high five after sex. lol

Number 2 - I agree, a 30 min quickie doesn't appeal to me either. lol my DH always lasts until I'm ready, but if we want a quickie, it can be done in the ads of our TV show! lol Sorry to hear about job!

Jayney - all my thoughts with you for safe travels!!! xxx

Newbie - Radelaide! hahaha

Maddy - as I am 22 & DH is 28, I don't feel that time isn't on our side at this stage. I am starting to look into getting tests etc done now, and I think I would look into getting help in the next 6-12 months. if initial treatments don't work, I'd probably wait til 25, use the time to get a bit better set up & save some money and then look into IVF etc. Obviously hoping that it doesn't get to that!! when you say next august is your limit, do you mean thats when you'll get help, or stop trying?

Kiwi - hi!!

2 mums - good to see you back, glad youre on the mend!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

mum2q- so glad you are with your DH and not your ex!!! at high fives afterward, thats great! In your ex's defence, weird i know, but my best guy friend had a similar issue in high school, after a few DRs appointments they actually found that there was a vein or something wrapped around his testes that was causing him to finish so quickly, he had surgery to correct the issue, and I assume its all good these days, his wife is always smiling (i was one of the only people he told, a very sensitive issue, poor guy) random, but thought i would share, and its good to know that it wasnt you!!!!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

yeah, thats why i have never told anyone before, i know its a pretty sensitive issue, i think it was made worse for us as it was an issue, but we weren't really ready to talk about it... we were'n't that great at comminicating and i was only 17 when i got with him & we were together 2 years, but i guess just didn't have the maturity to be able to discuss it & get through it. It must be horrible for guys. I remember one of the first times we were together, he made a comment about 'oh its been a while' or something like that as if to say this never happens... but as time passes, it was obvious that was not the case....

 

[Newbie32]

Squigley you crack me up!!! at high fives!!!

That's fab tho...nothing better than complete sexual compatibility!! We've been known to bash out the old quickie in record time on ttc nights when both knackered too!!! Hope you got the egg! And that your temp pops back up tomorrow!

Hope everyone's having a good night, yay for free sa laineypop!!

2mums I'm glad you're mending well, and hope angel is right behind you!

Xxxx girls xxxx

 

[Newbie32]

Ps squigley, can't wait to your chart tomorrow!!!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

totally understandable Mum2Q- i hope for his sake, and all the women he's with sake, he's gotten it figured out!!
thanks feeling much better, but still shitty i think the sun has been helping, i've been laying out, DRs orders to get my Vit D up more naturally. Best DRs orders ive had in a long time!! I too hope Angel can feel better too, its been a long sick haul for her lately and with so much going on, not fun!!

 

[Newbie32]

Maybe Angel needs some vit d too!

Hopefully it's fine tomorrow and not rainy xxx

I'm shitty to, except it's just me, and not a hormonal pregnancy issue!!!

Hahahaha

 

[Trying2b2mums]

hahaha, well my FX that you will be able to blame it on pregnancy hormones very soon!!!!

 

[Newbie32]

Lol! That makes two of you with dh!!!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

poor DH, i guess he can expect more yummy favourites to make up for your behavior

 

[Newbie32]

Lol!!! He wishes!!

Whipped up beef rendang curry and kapitan chicken tonight....delish!!

But it's my birthday month, so I have a leave pass for terrible behavior all month!! Bahahahahahaha xxx

 

[Newbie32]

Ps, love tennis bye nights, Wednesday off Tenno and with the ladies!!!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

yes! byes are awesome! I have year round byes....from all sports.... hahaha

dinner sounds awesome nana! you are just like my friend, she celebrates birthday months! lol

2 mums, best docs orders ever! maybe angel should try that just in case!!! and hoping the sunshine is beaming tomorrow!!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

oh, I have a question too.... you know how we have talked about preconception vitamins making us feel sick, I took them this morning, and almost had to pul over on my way to work cos i thought I was about to throw up.... it occurred to me that I don't feel sick on them before OV...but all the times I do get sick, I always think "oohhh maybe im preggy" so it must always be after Ov.... do you think there is any chance that it's the progesterone that reacts with the vitamins and causes the sickness??? just a random theory that has crossed my mind. feel free to rubbish it if you thin kim full of crap! haha
