Hi Ladies, :wave:
Hope you're all keeping well, sorry I havent been on in ages, we were having PC issues!!
We had our appointment yesterday with Dr Clara O'Flaherty in Galway, she is just lovely. It was a long consultation, from 11am till 1.15pm! It went fantastic, we had a chat about our history, she was delighted that we have nearly 5 months of tracking done, she went through the food print with us and told me not to be so strict on it, if I fancy something Im not ment to have not to deny myself, but once I get pregnant I have to be more strict on it (which I wont mind).
I had told her about my previous vists to our old FS, who constantly told me to loose weight and then it would happen! Dr Clara told me that I know the importance of loosing weight to be healthier and she told me she wouldnt mention it again (which I was delighted about!)
While there I had an internal scan, which Dr Boyle sat in on ( I was impressed) they both confirmed that I dont have PCOS or Endometriosis, I do however have a small folicile growing but they think its too small to rupture.
They have given me the following meds....
Naltrexone - these tablets are to help control PMS, Sleep disturbance & low moods. I have to take 2mg for 1 week, then 3mgs week 2, then 4.5 on week 3 and continue until Dr says to stop. She explained that there can be some side effects if I have any for a more than a week I have to lower the dosage.
Femera - Take 5 tablets on Day 3 of cycle.
HCG Injections - on Peak day I have to inject 20,000 units which is 2 10,000 into each side of my stomac, then on P +3 +5 +7 +9 I have to inject 5000 units.
Vitiam's - both myself & DH have to take
4000 mgs of Vitiam D 3 (sona brand) which is 4 tablets
2000 mgs of Omega 3 (sona brand) which is 2 tablets
1 Fertility Plus tablet with our main meal, DH is on these for 3 months I am on them until told otherwise.
I still have to have peak+7 bloods taken each month & then phone Galway with the results Dr Clara might adjust the meds if needed. She did say that it could take 2 months from the time we start all meds before we're allowed to try. I wont be starting my meds till March as we have missed this cycle.
We have our nxt appointment with Dr Clara on 2nd of June, which is 13 weeks time.
So how have you all been keeping? I have really missed chatting with you all, its going to take me ages to read all the posts xxx
