I see you have an updated plan next cycle, how are you feeling about that? What does Ovarian Drilling involve? I have heard of it but not much except the name.

Its a big decision and I am happy I made it. I will just believe that everything will work out and we get preg soon.

Ovarian drilling, is the process where they pinch little holes in the ovary to burst some of the eggs, which make the male hormones less and then it is suppose to make Ovulation occur easier.

I am nervously excited, if that makes sense? I am happy that i dont have to take Clomid anymore, and I am positive that I will O on my own again after the drilling. :hugs:
 
Nita - after watching a video to see what it was I'd be scared to have that done. Apparently it's really controversial?

OnEarth - I'm so sorry about your results that's rough.

AFM: CD 1 here and I'm frustrated yet relieved that I'm going to be starting a brand new cycle, I have an HSG next Friday, I'm nervous yet scared for that, I hope they'll let my Fiance in with me because I'm a nervous person and I'd feel more comfortable with him there.
 
Nita has your doc done blood work yet? To make sure that the ovarian drilling is warranted?

Earth I'm really sorry to hear about your progesterone level. :(

Kami I was pretty nervous for my HSG as well, but it really wasn't too bad. I took 2 extra strength ibuprofen's before hand and honestly it was less painful than AF cramps. It was kind of awkward though, I don't think I would have wanted my husband there for mine, as much as I love him lol.

Awkward? As in how? Good to know it's not super painful. I've heard stories of women getting pregnant right after so maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones :shrug: Doesn't hurt to try I guess lol
 
Well for one you're completely naked except for a flimsy privacy gown. They put your legs into these crazy stirrups and insist that you keep your legs wide open the whole time where everyone can see everything and put a huge tube and an ultrasound wand (which feels like a big you know what) up there. That was only half of the awkwardness. During my HSG they had massive full screen TVs set up all around the room showing off my ovaries and uterus which was pretty weird. My ovary got blown up on a TV screen to be the size of my head :/ Afterwards you put on a bulky hospital pad and all of the fluid falls out. It was just seriously so awkward lol. I felt very vulnerable and having an extra observer, even my husband, wouldn't have made me feel any better. Although each to their own!

I contacted my fertility clinic to see if I can set up an ultrasound to re-assess my lining. This was something that I had wanted back in the fall, but they switched my RE on me so the ball got dropped. I should have demanded it then, but I was feeling anxious and was really just hoping that the acupuncture would do the trick and that it wouldn't be that much longer. Well, Theoretically my lining should be "fixed" by now as I have been doing acupuncture for several months and using vitamin E all that time as well and still nothing. So I sent them a message to see if I can schedule an ultrasound to get this checked again. I don't want to waste money on an IUI down the line if the lining is truly our only issue. You have to advocate for yourself with these things, and I haven't been doing a good job of it because I've been feeling so overwhelmed! So I'm feeling good about myself for sending that request in Will see what they come up with
 
Nita: I hope it works out, and that family will be accepting and that ovaries will be working on doing what they are supposed to do: let you have a baby :)

OnEarth: oh, that is not cool, always a downer when it doesn't work out as wanted..

I would absolutely check if you can do u/s. I think for next cycle / the next cycle my hubby is around, I'll do chinese herbes + finding a place I can do u/s to check follicle growth and lining..

I am a bit confused, my RE cancelled our IUI this month, right.. but he did say that I might o on my own. BUT he cancelled because the follicles didn't grow like they should.. (I am trying to reason with myself: since FF put my o-date late, it means that the clomid did not work, hence it is normal that the follicles had not grown that early on.. ? I had 6-7 days of "high fertility" on clear blue, before I got a peak, and a bit of temp rise who correspond well with my clear blue peak. Is there any chance for me this cycle? Sigh.

Just spent a few days with family, they have 9 kids in total (2 together, 1 year old and 2 months old). They know about us trying, so we agreed that if they get one more, I get to keep it.. :) They are very supportive, and my cousins sister got IVF (twins) and they used clomid for the 1 year old, that is actually how I heard about it the first time around! :)
 
Belle - You should absolutely demand an ultrasound. Hopefully it'll give you some answers.
 
Belle, I would totally do the ultra sound if I were you. Hopefully that will give you answers.. My doctor wont be doing further bloodtests, as she doesnt think its necessary.

Luckily I will be sleeping when my HSG is done so I wont even know about it.

Thanks Norelisa :hugs: I don't think Clomid has worked for you - and it is very funny that the specialist gave it to you, because I did think you mentioned you have thin lining? My doctor told me yesterday that as long as you have Od there is always a chance, so I believe you have a chance this month.

I kind off hope AF starts a bit earlier so I can do the Drilling and get it over with. I am about 9/10dpo so hopefully soon :) This must be the easiest TWW ever - I am not even tempted to test lol. Sunday I will be 12/13 dpo so I will do a test Sunday Eve just to confirm the BFN and then on monday start to arrange for the Drilling, unless ofcourse AF shows sooner.
 
Well good luck with the drilling Nita, I hope that your AF shows quickly so that you can get it over with!

AF arrived for me. So will start femara on Saturday. My first dose will be while I have my dad and 4 year old brother over to visit :/ I don't expect I will have any side effects, but doubly so I hope I don't with company over.

Ugh, not going to lie I'm completely exhausted today and I have a really busy day of work ahead of me :/

Ugh I hope no side effects for you too, I'm supposed to work overnight tonight but I already called in because we're having a blizzard here and the last time I drove in it I almost died. :dohh:
 
Four are you taking the provera 5 or 10 days?

Belle, I hope you dont get any side effects, and goodluck with your day :hugs:

I think AF is on her way...PMS mode is switched on. I bitched at DH today over absolutely nothing. I have terrible stomach pains (I have IBS) from the stress of telling our parents :/
 
Belle - very sorry AF showed. Interesting - you and I both have half siblings. My little brother is 9 and my little sister is 13. One of my best friends who was dx with unexplained infertility and is now pregnant after 1st IVF (and 6 failed IUIs) also has younger half siblings. Her and I were talking this weekend about how we are both kinda intense "head cases" and sometimes she wonders if our stress levels and need to be in control of everything makes it difficult to conceive. I'm starting to believe more and more that stress is my problem. I was on antidepressants before ttc and am considering going back on them. I've been so full of stress, anxiety, anger, rage, irritability that's it's no wonder I'm not pregnant. Also considering acupuncture.

Nita - I'm sorry about the stress of telling your family. Will they be doing the HSG and the drilling at the same time?

Four - hope AF shows up soon!

Earth - that stinks about the progesterone levels. I'm giving vitex a try this month...might as well check it off the list.
