Clomid & male factor infertility

[MySillyGirls]

That is AWESOME!!! On day 3, I only had 1 8 cell and 2 6 cells and 1 5 cell. Soo excited for you

I agree about the weight gain. I have gained about 15 or 20lbs over the last few years and it has gone to my boobs and hips. my 5'10 legs are still long and skinny so I feel like an ostrich (picture it). LOL

 

[Mamamirfy]

Hahahahahahahahah - You're so funny. My legs are long but not skinny...maybe running after twins will help with that. I think im leaning towards two but she got me freaked out....without thinking of the health risks..will i be able to do it? Manage twins?

 

[MySillyGirls]

I'd do the two for sure. I mean, look, I had 3 embies transferred and none took. I just think you have a better chance. My neighbor across the street that has the two girls via IVF (two separate IVFs) was actually preggo with two with the youngest, but miscarried one early on. She still recommends two because she doesn't know if she would have had her daughter had she only transferred one

 

[Mamamirfy]

SOLD - I'm doing two!

 

[pink32]

ok so i've just tried to catch up on what i've missed.

Gee you girls crack me up with your boobies discussion...

now i'm not sure that bra sizes are the same in Aust and over in U.S and Canada because i've never heard of a g cup? we have a,b,c,d and havent heard of higher than that! but anyways sounds like you guys have enormous boobies yeh what u gonna do when pregnant they only get bigger...i'm a c going onto d and was whinging this morning because none of my bras fit me and it's a pain in the arse as i'm so uncomfortable throughout the day...need to go shopping.

Getting onto ur eggies mirf sounds good regarding the growth..Well as you said a couple of days to go so not long now....

silly will u be doing another cycle soon or you wanna wait a while?

 

[pink32]

oh and nearly forgot....that's right cant eat any soft cheeses which is killing me...i love my Brie's and camamberts with a glass of wine absolutely love it and it needs to be avoided they say not to have any deli meats and soft cheeses due to listeria / bacteria and also no raw food i.e sushi (love that too) and meat must be cooked really well too....especially chicken....sucks really but i guess it's only 9 months....

 

[Mamamirfy]

I love cheese, I love sushi, I love alcohol. Gonna be a boring 9 months but a very HAPPY 9 months.

In Canada most bra stores only sell a,b,c,d and sometimes dd. If you go to a proper bra shop and they measure you that's when you get into the higher letters and numbers. So you guys are probably up in the f's and g's too hahahaha. My friend wore a D 34 forever and went and got properfly measured and she wears a 32F. They just fit you so much better and feel like they are actually doing their job. I sawon Oprah once that 80% of women wear the incorrect bra size and then measured the entire audience and gave them correctly fitting bras. They are pricey but last forever.

How do they know if the progesterone is doing it's thing? Do they test for it? It's making me nervous that we could through all this and the progesterone doesn't work.

Congrats Pinky!!! Babe is the size of a prune now

PS: a C cup is considered big too! Maybe we should change the name of this thread to "Tall, well endowed girls thread"

 

[pink32]

lol u crack me up....i think i will be going to be measured because i tell u my boobs hurt as it is and the incorrect bra size doesnt help...going this weekend for sure if not thurs nite...

Yeh baby is getting bigger everyday and so is my tummy.lol.....i go for my blood test on monday 29th or 30th and then the down syndrome scan the week after....i just cant wait for this 1st trimester to be over it is so stressful.....

 

[Mamamirfy]

You're nearly there.....couple more weeks What are the testing for in all these blood tests...and how do they do a down syndrome scan?

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hiya girls!! I like the thread name change idea...Tall Well Endowed Girls! LOL...some poor person is getting on here for male factor infertility and is learning about bra cup sizes and the perils of soft cheeses. Hhahahaa!

OK...so, I love Coffee, Sushi, Wine, Soft Cheese...I remember having nothing to fall back on but Taco Bell and KFC when i was pg. I still had a cup of coffee every day though...

Anyway, YES, I will go back on BCPs when my December cycle starts. Approximately the 7th by my calculations. Then, they'll keep me on the bcps until first week of Jan then I start the injectables. I already have all the meds here so I am ready to go. The cool thing is also I will be able to allocate those $$ to flex spend after the first of the year, so it will only cost me in actuality around 6500 instead of 8500. I am guessing I'd have a transfer around 1/15. So, I will be eating, drinking and being merry until that point...heehee

Pink, good luck on your scans! I wouldn't worry about the progesterone..most women just produce it naturally so I am sure it is doing what it should

 

[MySillyGirls]

So, I think a DDD cup is the same as an F cup. I have a friend who had a J cup and she had a reduction...said it was THE best thing she ever did

 

[Mamamirfy]

I've looked into it..I figured after I have kids I will get one...and a lift at the same time. Did you know they do nipple relocation with a lift? LOL. Saw it on one of those gross plastic surgery shows. As long as they don't relocate them East or West...I'll be fine.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Yeah, me too! If this IVF doesn't work though, I am speeding up the reduction/lift plan. I am also going to go on a major low carb diet. I'll be a hot mama again in time to turn 40.

 

[Mamamirfy]

I'll do it with ya! But this IVF will work for you and you probably already are a hot Mama. I always find chats funny. We have no idea what eachother look like and we've been talking daily for months and months...well we know we are tall with giant chests and you kinda resemble an ostrich (just kidding lol).....

You know...I haven't even checked how many cells my embies should have by tomorrow...I must find out so im prepared. I might have a hot bath with a glass of wine too. Won't be doing either of those for at least two weeks

 

[pink32]

Hi girls, no idea wot they're checking with da bloods? But da down syndrome is checked by measuring the thickness of fluid in the back of the baby's neck... So they told me to have the bloods a few days before the test.... Praying all is good!!! Du and I just had the biggest fight I was screaming like a crazy person now I'm so upset with myself for getting myself so worked up and I should jus be taking care of hub! He just pisses me off sometimes and my hormones r all over the place!!! You'd think that he would try not to piss me off!!!
Anyways, just needed to vent and stop talking to him!!!

Xoxoxo

 

[pink32]

Unless that didn't make sense I was talking about DH!!

 

[Mamamirfy]

Aww men don't get it! Me and dh got in a blowout too, I agree with you. They just be trying not to stress us out during all this. We're ok now but was I ever madlast night. Hope u two worked thru it xo

 

[Mamamirfy]

Ok - got the update. The one lil guy still hasn't grown from the 3 cell. I had already cancelled that one out in my head but good to know they still had hope. Two are at Morula stage the other two are on the verge of it....they said by later today they should be there and by tomorrow morning I should have two blasts My appt is at 10am.

 

[pink32]

AWEEEEEESOME News HUNNI!!! you should be so happy....if you get two blasties then wow you'll be having those twins.....

EC is such a breeze you dont feel anything so atleast you dont have to worry about that....

DH is still giving me the shits....last night i went to bed and i'm not sure when he did i just asked him to leave me alone.

this morning he wanted to talk, and i didnt because i knew he would just piss me off again. anyway cut a long story short, he forces conversation upon me - which ofcourse eventuated into an argument - and when i'm arguing he walks out!!!! WTF!!!! i cannot stand that shit!

Now i'm at work so he cant just say what he wants or keep hassling me to talk...thank goodness....

just shits me to tears! anyways glad ur eggies are doing great mirf! that's awesome news...

sorry for my rant girlies! xoxo

 

[MySillyGirls]

Miranda, that is AWESOME!! I would love to have a morula. I didn't have very good quality. I am hoping I see better this time. You MUST let us know tomorrow how it all goes!

Pink, husband are a huge PITA sometimes. Yes, mine annoys me too. He works stupid long hours and when I get on him about it, he's all like "Well, let's sell the house." See, he tries to tie-in the home we live in which is nice with his hours. Well he worked the same hours when we lived in a much more modest home. One of these days, I am going to call him out on this with a for-sale sign in our yard when he gets home... But, seriously, I remember him pushing my button while I was preggo. I remember having a mental breakdown over the KFC fried chicken he brought home... b/c he didn't get the right kind.

So, the weather here is so weird. Yesterday, it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit AND we had tornadoes! Today is a high of 40 and we are scraping ice off car windows. bizarre

Hugs to you both!
Your friend,
The Ostrich. )
