Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

Megg, thanks for the info. The odds for IVF are
x good, and a lot better than IUI.

Nato, sorry the bitch got you. A 12 day LP is still fine hun.

Why don't you get the doctor to refer you to a FS? Mine has told me to get the gynaeo to refer me when I see her next week. I've been ttc for 13 months now with only a mc to show for it. I'm not sure how long you've been trying, but I know you're entitled to it quicker than 12 months if you're over 35! My mate who had problems got referred to a FS, and he arranged a lap and dye to rule endo out. It turned out to be her hubby who had motility problems, but they were still very thorough with her.

It's good that you've got some money if you need it Nato. We've just found out that Mal's Mum had some money in an ISA when she died earlier this year, and his Dad is going to give him 5000. It's a big relief knowing we have this to fall back on, just in case.

Look at us two jumping the gun any way! I don't know for certain that there's anything wrong with me or Mal, and your BFP could be waiting around the corner for you. I suppose I just want to be prepared, just in case it is shit news!

fuck. <fingersinearslalalala>

i thought you were awake, i dont care what happens if youre asleep. the GA has just sold it to me.

Yes, the anesthesia is the only saving grace. I'm on a thread with LOADS of IVF ladies, and only one was kept awake. Everyone was SHOCKED that they had her awake through it. Its very odd, and her clinic is a bit shit. Everyone else puts you out for it!

Its good that you have that money to fall back on, definitely! I don't mean to try and turn people away from IUI... but I had it built up as this monumental, amazing process in my mind... and there's just not much to it. I felt like it was a huge waste. But, it does work for some people. I've just seen tons of women lately do 1 or 2 IUI's and then wish they'd put that money toward IVF instead.

 

[NatoPMT]

Sugar, Im just looking at IVF prices and IUI is £500, if you are still interested

 

[heart tree]

Nato ffs to AF. Bloody ho bag. BTW, my intercourse timing on FF says "high." However, there is no way to really track that I inserted some with a needless syringe and softcup once spilled, so I just put that I had sex on CD16 (ovulation day). So really, I had it the day before Ov and the day after and then got some inside me on the day of.

Sugar, a hysteroscopy is when they insert a catheter inside your uterus and fill it with saline. Then they take a tiny camera at the end of a catheter and look inside your uterine cavity. The saline allows them to see a crystal clear picture of the inside of your uterus. They are looking for fibroids and polyps. I had it done and it hurt like hell. They never told me to take any pain meds. If I had to do it over again, I would take Vicodin and an ibuprofen. I don't mean to scare you, I just want you to be more prepared than I was.

Girls, I've decided that if I don't get pregnant in the next 2-3 months, I'm going to look into IUI as well. So maybe we'll all be doing IUI/IVF soon!

 

[Megg33k]

Wouldn't it be something if the Disco Thread turned into an assisted conception thread??! Obviously, we'll take our preggos with us no matter what path we choose... but most of us are starting to look to help, it seems! I started a trend!

 

[sugarlove]

God what a thought Megg! Although it would be great to get support from you girlies I don't know about you Hearty and Nato, but I just feel like time isn't on my side. If I was 25, I'd perhaps feel differently, but cos I'm 35, I feel like I haven't got any time to waste. At first the idea of assisted conception terrified me, but the more I think about it, maybe it's what needs to be done to have a baby.

Thanks for the info Hearty. I'm presuming that if I'm getting the lap done too, I'll be out for the count. If not, I don't like the sound of it at all I have my fingers crossed for you this month

 

[NatoPMT]

it would be half the discoers pregnant and the other half assisted conception

I have just had a total benny and husband had to give me a talking to and calm me down. i was trying to work out if we had any chance at all this month, which we don't (he goes to Oz 6 days before ov) and then he said i should get an IVF app while hes away. I then started flailing around, blaming Fosters for the fact i have to have IVF and told him that he would have to have his sperm extracted to make up for me having needles in my ovaries. and see how you like that.

I then sat down heavily on the sofa to make a point and something went crack in the sofa cos of my fat fucking arse. I know i have put on weight, but im still only 10 stone. Its not like i am of sofa breaking proportions.

 

[NatoPMT]

i know you can get addicted to Vicodin. can i have one now instead please

 

[NatoPMT]

when you see the Fosters advert next year, shout at it for making me have to have IVF.

Hearty, is this displacement? i think i am displacing onto Fosters and sofas.

Im so mad at not being pregnant.

That's the point when I decided to just go for it. When I realized that it didn't matter if I WANTED to do assisted conception, because I wanted a baby much more than I wanted to avoid help!

Awwww! I'm sure it wasn't your arse that caused the cracking sound!

I dont think John realised how much it costs. I just looked up some prices and he didnt look very hopeful that we could get that much. Im not sure what i would need from the price lists though so not sure how much it would be - which is why he said to go and get the consultation while hes away

Thats great you have that money in case of IVF, that sounds like a decent amount - i think after trying for 7 months, the gun might be slightly jumped, but not far off. Im goingt o fire the fucking gun in a minute, all the jumping in the world hasnt got me a baby yet

Im still mad. can you tell.

 

[Megg33k]

6 months of trying when you're near or over 35 is sufficient. I'm impatient though... So, I think anything is sufficient! LOL

 

[Dazed]

Thanks for all the support. You girls are really great. My restraint at not testing comes from not wanting to look at lilly white BFN's. I have learned that if I get the urge, just go use the bathroom cause then I have no FMU to test with. My only problem now is I am symptom spotting and its getting hard to stop. I have been bloated since Saturday which is unusual for me this earily. I have also been getting dizzy easily today. Can someone please give me a BIG cyber slap in the face?

Nato, sorry your feeling down this month. Wish I could help, but I'm the same way.

 

[NatoPMT]

I'll slap you if you slap me Dazed. Lets have a slap off.

You'd have to go to sleep for the whole 2 week wait to stop symptom spotting, dizziness is a definite symptom though!!

 

[sugarlove]

Ha ha Nato about the settee, but not the IVF. Are you counting 7 months ttc in total or from your mc? I'm doing in total. I would get your name down on the nhs list, but consider paying for an appt privately. Mine was 190 quid, but well worth the money. You've had all the tests done, so see where they say to go from there maybe! Mine wouldn't go any further with me as he wanted more bloods done, a lap and repeat SA. We will prob go back to him after all that's done to look at options.

 

[Allie84]

Oh no that doesn't sound like fun at all, you need a relaxing break to get over that hun. Hope your kiddies enjoyed it though. In my personnel opinion I have never once in all my life met an only child that is not like that, I find them all spoilt and needy! So sorry if any of you are only children, perhaps I've just met horrible ones!!

Actually I'm sure Allie and Megg are only children and no way are they any of the above so maybe I'll eat my words.xxxxxx

I definitely am an only child! But, I'm also very, very spoiled... and I do have "needy" tendencies! I'm not obnoxious and disrespectful... but I am spoiled and a bit needy... I won't lie about it. My parents waited 10 years on a list before I was born and they could adopt me. They made sure that I never went without anything... whether it was a need or a want. They did whatever they could to please me, and its a hard habit to break. I want what I want and I want it immediately... Imagine how difficult TTC must be for me!

Well, I was raised an only child (though now have my long long sister), but I wasn't spoiled, as I grew up really poor. My parents spoiled me in attention and love though, I suppose. I don't think I'm needy though, so that doesn't fit unlike Megg lol. I do blame being an only child on some things, though, like over thinking and analyzing.

Off to read the rest of the posts!

 

[Dazed]

I just hope this week goes by quick.

I am on cycle 7 of trying and 10 months since the mc. BLAH!!

 

[Dazed]

BTW Nato.... your not helping my symptom spotting chicka!!
