Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

[CJSG1977]

Well I Have been to my appointment... not really sure where to start. First off I really did not like Ann Wright! Snooty, rude, brash and condescending!

BLAH BLAH BLAH.... The rest of this is in my jourmal cause it really was very upsetting! She said some horrid things and treated me like a souless piece of meat!

So she was about to end the consult and I said so what happens now....

SMEAR
Urine
Full Bloodwork (including testosterone, blood clots (again) Lupis (again) Electrolytes, Progesterone, Prolactin etc etc - And also Thyroid Function (again) )
Ultrasound for PCOS / Endo or any other abnormaliities

I asked what happens after and she said depending on the results next step would potentially be an ovulation test to check my ovaries are doing their job, and then trying a round of clomid.

Oh and a tip to everyone... BABY ASPIRIN MUST NOT BHE TAKEN UNTIL PREGNANCY IS DETERMINED! That is what she told me. She said if I get pregnant before I see her next to take it straight away when I get a positive pregnancy test.

Wow I wasnt expecting to feel this frustrated, angry and down about something that was meant to be a positive step in trying to get mine and my darling husbands forever baby!

CJ did she say why aspirin should not be taken before?

 

[LucyJ]

CJ sorry she treated you like that stupid women.

On to the bad news... I had a voicemail saying the clinic needed to speak with me today. I didn't get the message until they were closed though. So, I emailed my FS. He just emailed me back saying that the surgery went fine, but there was too much bad tissue and I need more healing time before I can start IVF. So, they want to push me back to the Dec cycle. I promised myself I wouldn't do the Dec cycle, because I'd have to miss Christmas with my family if I did. So, I guess all hope of a 2010 BFP is shot for me. I can't stop crying.

Honey.. Do you think your family could come celebrate with you at your home? They all know you are doing IVF right? hugs.

I know I have no 2010 bfp shot.

Yeah, I just talked to my mom and she said that they are willing to come up here instead. So, I suppose I'll move forward in Dec anyway. Its not what I hoped for or wanted... but its the path that I'm being dragged down, kicking and screaming! lol

That is great! I know its not the path you want to take. But I also know that sometimes we have to take different paths than expected to follow our dreams

 

[CJSG1977]

Vicky... She said that it can cause implantation failure. I'm assuming cause its a blood thinner....

 

[vickyd]

Dont know about that really....Ive spoken to many specialists about this and not one has said anything like this.

 

[Megg33k]

Vicky... She said that it can cause implantation failure. I'm assuming cause its a blood thinner....

I can't see that being true since my fertility clinic has every IVF patient take it throughout their entire IVF cycle protocol. Most people recommend taking it daily before becoming pregnant, because it can help build up a better lining. I think she's a bit off base with that one. Its just simply not true. No offense to you, of course... I do appreciate you passing along tips from her. Its just that I can't help but believe that she's led you astray there.

 

[CJSG1977]

Vicky, I have been doing a bit of research and it appears that there is no reason not to take it. I think that maybe she is saying that to me because I have had 6 miscarriages with no reason why...and all shortly after implantation - so she may be thinking that it could make my problem worse?? Failing that she is just a dick which is probably more likely.

 

[CJSG1977]

Megg, she said that it is used in IVF cycles, but not recommended till pregnancy is confirmed for non ivf. She said it was old fashioned to do!!!! And you cant offend me hun. To be honest I want to go back there and stab her in the eye with a pen! Sorry for the graphic image but I really didnt like her. She treated me appallingly. And if I had conceived this month and my spotting wasnt my period it damn well is now cause I am bleeding REALLY heavy. TMI Sorry. I am also have horrendous pain in my back like when I have miscarried before. I might buy a test and see if I was pregnant. She was so rough with my smear and took too much tissue in my opinion. I have never had pain like this before after having one.

I couldn't help but laugh at that!

Yeah, I don't think baby aspirin has anything to do with your losses. I would put money on it!

AFM... Spoke to the clinic and I'll be right back on BCP's as soon as my withdrawal bleed starts. So angry! LOL Anyway, my protocol (with the Lupron) starts all over again on Nov 14 and the official "IVF cycle" starts on Dec 6. Apparently, there was enough stuff that needed removing yesterday that I ended up having a D&C instead of just a hysteroscopy! Nice that someone finally told me. I would have thought that he'd have maybe told my husband that after it was over, but I suppose not.

OMG! That's awful! I'm so sorry, honey! She sounds horrendous! No worries about the graphic image... Its nothing I haven't imagined doing to a doc here and there as well! LOL

I know its def part of the IVF thing, but I was put on the baby aspirin back in 2009. So, I've been doing a long time, ya know? Def not just for IVF. I couldn't find a single negative side effect to taking it daily UNLESS you have a bleeding disorder! Obviously, that would be bad!

 

[Allie84]

Good morning everyone. Thanks so much for the kind words.

CJ, I'm sooo sorry about your appointment! She sounds like such a bitch (and less knowledgable than our BnB experts).

 

[sugarlove]

Megg, so sorry they couldn't do the IVF this month. It must be really shit to psyche yourself up for it, only to be let down. Fingers crossed for you for December!

CJ and Sequeena, sorry AF showed her ugly face.
CJ, your woman sounds like a right arse

Allie, sorry to hear about your Mum's high blood pressure. Can't they do anything sooner with it being so high? I feel you're pain re due dates.Mine is next month, so I really just have this cycle to get a BFP before it. Never dreamed for one moment I wouldn't be pg yet

I tried the soft cups last night. Put them in 10 mins after BDing. Had a scary moment when I thought it wasn't going to come back out later on, but it did in the end thank god!

Hi to everyone else
xx

 

[NatoPMT]

Hi All

Mone, how are you getting on? how are you feeling? whats your next app?

Hi CJ & Seq, im really sorry your cycles are being squiffy and cowface has turned up

CJ, your chart is still stuck, mebbes email FF and ask them? Will have a look at your journal to establish what i didnt understand from your post - who is this rude woman? Im sorry she was rough and hurt you. I think you should do a test too, but as youve said, you dont usually get bfp until after af is here, so it might not be a true pic.

Also, hmm at aspirin shouldnt be taken during ttc? i have read that theres a possibility it helps stimulate ovary function and improve lining, re: implantation failure. ...I wonder where she gets that info from as the studies havent been completed as yet. Will start a googling session forthwith.

Megg, glad you've found a way round the dec issue, big bums at having to wait, however necessary it is - hopefully the celebrations and your family being around will take your mind off it a bit too. I was reading TWW yesterday and read a post where the member had her bfp on christmas morning. The MAC sounds like a good option

I remember them lifting me onto a trolley after my ERPC, and i remember saying 'weeeee' as they did it.

Allie, your poor mum! she must be very strong to be able to take those levels. I know what you mean about arranging your life around something that feels like its never going to happen, its no wonder youre feeling down. If you fancy a wallow i'll jump straight in with you

Sparkly, yeah, what dpo are you? lets wait it out (or not in my case) - hope your boy is feeling better soon

Sugar - youre so brave! well done. Did everything stay in or was some pushed out? Youre my guinea pig

AFM, temps still ok, sore boobs and nausea but thats normal for me at this stage. i am just sat here waiting for a decent test date now. Drumming my fingers.

 

[Megg33k]

Glad the softcup didn't permanently lodge, sugarlove! LOL

Temps look good, Nato! The MAC was amazing, indeed. Very angry about the wait, but trying to deal with it all today!

 

[CJSG1977]

Blimey Megg you went through the ringer love you!! I'm sorry you have to start all over again babe. But I am glad that you are ok!

As for my lovely, caring, wonderful, warm, and brilliant fertility specialist...AKA... DICK... I am not sure what to do. I dont want it to effect my treatment. They could refuse to give me another consultant, and then I'd be stuck with her and she'd know I asked to see someone else. Then she'd probably treat me worse and not give me a follow up appointment for months. Hard to decide.

 

[vickyd]

CJ any chance you could go private?

 

[NatoPMT]

on googling, low dose aspirin did not help ovarian response in a study on 374 IVF patients

cant find any more. well, cant be bothered to read all the medical papers really.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Hey gorgeous girls,

CJ - So sorry she treated you like that, what a frigging bitch!! Sorry but my consultant says the same on low dose aspirin and I have always taken his advice. When do you get all the results?

Megg- Can't believe you only just found out about having a D&C, thats awful! Are you not in pain? I'm in agony after one of those! 6th Dec is noted in my memory for your IVF, I can't wait, I'm really excited for you.

Who's next to test? I need to see some new BFP.

Lucy - How you feeling today hunny??

Allie - So sorry to hear about your Mum, that's pretty scary. I hope her levesl reduce very quickly.

Nato - Hubby's bringing home ginger and lemon's so will give your suggestion a try tonight! He also bought everything and anything he could find with ginger in it, even some bubble bath

Cazza - How you feeling hunny?? Start yacking at work? I hope not! 1 more sleep sweetie, sooooooooo excited for you.

As for me I'm shattered after a full day at work, could literally go to bed right now, I have never felt tiredness like it!!!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE............................................Puke count today = 0 at 6pm!!
Woo hoo, so it's seems I have found a cure for my sickness, I have to eat approx every 3-5minutes, fruit, crisps, cereal bars, soup, hot chocolate, salad, etc etc etc
So here's the dilemma do I continue to eat like a pig and end up looking like a house by my 12 week scan and a whole city by full term OR do I continue to eat healthly and carry on feeling and being sick 24/7??? What would you do????

 

[vickyd]

Sass eat away! Thats what i did and i managed to keep the puking at minimum. This is exactly what doc recommended as well.
