Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[ginny83]

Maddy, do you keep taking them once you get a BFP?

Are they like a gel capsule?

 

[Abby27]

My understanding is that there are two different types, both start with ubic but one ends in an ol?
Also they all have different carrier systems, the more expensive use phosphate the others use a vit e. so much choice! If your doc has a preference I'd be keen to know the recommendation .
Ginny should be ok once bfp to keep taking it, it's good for your heart, bp etc.

 

[ginny83]

I'm might ask about taking it at my next appointment

I'm sometimes a bit cautious of mixing stuff together, I want to make sure it's OK to take with the daily aspirin I'm on. I see though that it reduced blood pressure slightly for some people - so I'm interested in that!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Maddy - They do these studies for a reason - to get results. If you see results in studies, it's not becaause they don't work, it's because they do! It's not clutching at straws, just doing what you can to help get you where you want to be!

Ginny - I am cautious too. Always best to ask the experts in my opinion.

Lainey - a sudden thought. You conceived on your first round of soy didn't you? or was your first round your chemical? I can't remember. Just thought it might be something other girls might want to look into. I was cautious as you can't purchase it in Australia and didn't know how it would affect my cycle if I stopped taking it, so decided not to in the end. But it may help someone else? I'm thinking not the girls with regular cycles, cos I read an article that said pretty much 'if it aint broke, don't fix it'. Maybe Abs, with a longer, more random cycle, it could be useful? Just throwing ideas around anyway. Not sure how it goes with the vitex either.

I'm off to bed. gosh, it's late! I didn't realise the time. DSS was in bed half an hour later than normal, and it really throws me out when his routine changes!

sweet dreams!! xox

 

[Maddy40]

COQ10 is fine to keep taking, apparently. My FS said he doesn't recommend anything else except COQ10 and a good multivitamin that includes folate, as there isn't enough research into other supplements and he doesn't want to risk doing more harm than good.

DHEA is also recommended a lot by FS in the UK and US apparently - I'm going to ask my FS about it when I see him next.

 

[Melainey]

Hey squiggles yeah I conceived in the first cycle,I was just gong to see if anybody wants the rest of mine

 

[Abby27]

My understanding is that iso soy is used to help women who don't ovulate? Usually with pcos? Instead of clomid ...is that why you took it Laniey?

 

[Melainey]

No I took it cause I was sick of waiting and heard so many good things about it!I ovulate on my own most times!I have the odd anovulatory cycle but just wanted top try something different they say it is natures clomid! worked great for me, but I was at the point I would try anything!

Hi everyone
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I have been trying to pop in and read what has been happening, but this thread goes so fast!!

Smithy, I am also a Smith! I am going to take that we are both Smiths from the Coast as a good luck sign, hopefully our water supply has plenty of

I am going insane with this tww, trying not to get my hopes up but have been feeling so many symptoms it is so hard not to think about it. I am about 8dpo now and I was going to wait until nyd to test but I have decided to test on Monday 10dpo ( as I have a 10/11 lp). Fingers crossed.

I have been trying to think of a really nice way to tell DH if it does turn out to be positive this month as with both my other pregnancies the announcements to him were rather um.... Memorable for the wrong reasons! (funny to talk about now though lol but I want #3 to be an exciting reveal. I already have it planned as to how I want to tell the kids but DH is tricky. He is working at new year and won't be home til about 5am nyd So can't really tell him at midnight

Anyway hope we all get bfp's for a 2013 baby

 

[Maddy40]

Ooh getting close to New Years! Good luck with testing Bubba.

What does everyone else have planned for NYE.

We're going to do our 2nd round of IUI in January. The specialist initially wanted to do 3 rounds but is now saying he wants to see us after the second unsuccessful round, to discuss IVF....a bit hard to be positive about the next IUI when he's already thinking beyond

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Maddy, That is their job. they have studied long & hard to get to where they are & I'd be more worried if they weren't thinking ahead! I guess they have to assess each couple on their own terms. By changing the plan, we can only assume he's doing what will give you the best shot of a baby! Did you say initially you were going to stop at IVF? may have been someone else. Look at it from a financial perspective, if you skip your last IUI, that's $1800 toward IVF, and if you get preggy this time, that's a MASSIVE saving!! I find it's easier to look at things from a point of view that doesn't really matter. I mean money keeps the world turning, but it isn't important when you compar it against something that is important to you. xxx I have everything crossed for your Jan cycle - will your test date fall around the Aus day BFP girls?

Bubba - sounds funny, how did you tell DH last 2 times? Just google sweet ways to tell hubby, heaps of ideas come up!

 

[Lisasmith]

Ill have everything crossed for you Maddy!

Bubba, ill have everything crossed for you too. 2013 will be a good year

 

[Abby27]

Bubba, I should've warned you, this thread does move very fast, lately it's actually been a little slow! I think it was Rosie that put a little bun in her oven and waited for her dh to figure it out. I too would like to hear the story of how you told dh last two times?
Maddy you did get sperms to meet egg last iui, so I have hope for you next round!!

No NYe plans for us, neither of us could be bothered, maybe we will go out to dinner or something.
Had a terrible dream last night that dh was leaving me....woke up crying

 

[Newbie32]

Hi girls!!!!

Wow I've been mia from here for a while! I've missed you all heaps!

Settling into our holiday which is fun, although dh is driving me a bit batty! I'm quite happy to stop and do nothing, whilst he is 'bored' already....and that's after crazy busy day yesterday and it's only 8.50am! Hope this doesn't continue or I may have to bring him back in a body bag lol....

Hope everyone has recovered from the Christmas madness! Need to have a good read and catch up

Love you all xx

 

[Lisasmith]

Send dh out to do something 'fun and manly' while you do nothing but relax
