[star25]

Hello everyone, just an update, clinic asked me to go in for scan tomoro or weds to see whats going on, bit of a pain as they only told me today and it means I have to ring in the morning for an appointment and book a ferry for which I have to make sure theres one at the right time and get e mail comfirmation of the appointment and print it off to get the ferry half price otherwise can be over £85 a return for a 40min ferry ride! I'll stop moaning soon but it's just a palaver with work too and dh work as he works night, I like to be more organised normally!

Hope your all well and your having a very relaxing trip noele x

Cntrygrl, not long now my sisters just started maternity leave lucky bugger!

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- Good Luck with the scan. Hoping it's nothing major and just a delayed cycle. I totally envy your sister being on maternity leave already. I'm working up until this little guy arrives and it's getting harder each week. Our maternity leave over here is pretty crappy. You can take 12 weeks off, but it's unpaid. Disability will pay you for 6 weeks (8 weeks w/ a c-section), but it's only something like $170 a week.

 

[star25]

Ahh thats not good cntrygrl, bet u need the rest by now, I know my sister was feeling it but shes got a 3 yr old too and was working 4 days a week in the care home
Here we can take up to a year off, 6 weeks at 90% of normal wage amd another 7.5 month's at about £135 a week and the last 3 months are unpaid of u want to take the last 3, it's pretty good and as ive been waiting so long I'll definitely be taking a year if/ when it happens!

Got a scan at 10:40 tomoro

 

[star25]

Hi, had scan and got a good thick lining but a cyst on ovary which is preventing bleeding, have got provera to take for 7 days then should bleed after that, just hope it doesn't happen next cycle as wont be as to start the ivf

 

[star25]

They said cyst is where my body tried to ovulate but didnt and the follicle turned to a cyst

 

[cntrygrl]

Ugh sorry to hear about the cyst. Hoping everything goes smoothly this upcoming cycle so you can start the IVF process.

 

[star25]

Definitely feel af on the way, got sore boobs and pretty bad cramps, got 2 more days of provera so it's definitely working, just want this cycle over with now

Noele, hope your having a fantastic time )

Cntrygrl, really not long now for you, are you planning any particular birth if you can? can you believe ive already thought about this even though ive never had a bfp but know I would want a water birth, where I live though think theres only one birthing pool so pot luck if you get it!

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- My hospital doesn't do water births, but they do I have a tub I can labor in if I want. I live about 10 minutes from the hospital so I plan on staying home as long as possible where I'm most comfortable. I'll have DH and my mum to help me relax so hoping that's all I need.

 

[Noele0002]

Star- So sorry to hear about the cyst but at the same time I am glad the Provera is working so you can start a new cycle! I hope you have been doing well

Cntrygrl- Hope all is going well for you and you are getting prepared for baby

Well ladies my vacation was definitely fun and relaxing! Did not think about ttc not once. It was so nice.

 

[star25]

Thats good to hear noele, glad you had a relaxing time
Where are you in your cycle now?

Ive got one more day of provera left so should have af soon, I'm so impatient now and really want to start the ivf, just hoping and praying that after all this waiting it works!
Cant believe I'm CD60 now the time I actually want af

 

[Java123]

Hi Everyone,

Hope its ok that I join in the group.

Basically my story is that we have been trying for about 3 years. We had a MC about a year ago while taking clomid... now im at a new doctor who is running tests and recommended femara. Ill be starting my first dose on this cycle once the pergesterone pill kicks in and gives me my period.

Anyone have any positive things to say about femera?

 

[Dannixo]

I did 7 rounds of clomid and 4 with femara. I have never gotten pregnant but I'm also diagnosed as unexplained. . I did however have better response on femara not thinning my lining like clomid and no side effects. I produced 4-11 eggs each cycle with both medicine. I went on to do femara with menopur injections and still nothing.

 

[Noele0002]

Star- today is CD 23 lol I had to look at fertilityfriend because I had no clue. I'm going to try to link my new chart in my signature.

 

[star25]

It's a good sign you've had time off thinking about ttc when you dont know what CD your on!
I'm CD62 , first day off provera so should have af in next day or so, I'm now hoping for a normal cycle so I can start ivf start of Oct

Java, good luck, I haven't been on femera, just Clomid, sorry about the mc x

 

[star25]

Hi how is everyone?

Think af is nearly here, having spotting tonight and some cramps earlier so hoping this is it, CD66!

 

[Noele0002]

Star- Hi! Sorry I haven't been on much but last week was my first week of school and I was totally overwhelmed. Did AF finally show up yet? So sorry you had such a long cycle.

AFM- AF showed up today so I am on CD 1. I am supposed to call my doc today and set up everything for our IUI #2... I'm having mixed feelings... A big part of me wants to call it quits for now and just focus on school and work. I know DH is kind of feeling the same way but the other part of me wants to give it this one last try then go on the long break... I'm going to think about this all day long and then figure out what I want to do.

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- Hopefully AF has arrived for you so you can get this IVF show on the road.

I can't recommend enough of saving your money for a specialist rather than continuing with an OBGYN. There is only so much that they can do. Luckily everything I had done with OBGYN was covered by my insurance which gave us 3 chances of IUI's with the specialist that were covered. We only needed the one.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- I know and I want to visit a specialist but that is just not going to happen in the near future. Having to pay all that money out of pocket and up front would totally break DH and I as of right now since I just cut my work load in half to focus on school. For us our only choices are to give this last IUI a shot with our OBGYN or take a long two year break while I'm in school. Like I've said before, at least with our OBGYN I don't have to pay anything upfront and I just get billed and can make payments to pay it off.

Also, I figured out on a calendar that CD 12 and 13 fall on a Saturday and Sunday this month and those would be the days I'd normally have my follie scan so I might not have a choice this month anyways because my clinic isn't open on weekends.
