Already wrote on your journal but will say it gain

Sus that is fantastic and the specialist sounds perfect! I am very excited for you and firmly believe that you will be pregnant in no time!

Dmom, LL, Despie, Thanks!

It was a bit of information overload yesterday as the told me even more information that what I wrote. However I feel very relieved, whatever is wrong with me we will find out soon!

A funny story though, Since we saw the private FS yesterday, and she told us she was one of the main FS in the NHS, G after beind told last week that he will have to wait till April for an appointment to get his jizz pot... suddenly he had a phone call saying that He is going on the 12th for his SA Obviously our FS has pushed it and he is having it for free! she will bring the results to our next appointment and she will go through them with my results.

I went to the fertility clinic yesterday, we have told them we are going for IUI in March. So now I have my instructions, cooter tablets, needles etc just need to buy the drugs and wait for the next AF. Very excited, even thought they only gave us a 15% possibility of it working. Can´t understand why it isn´t higher than that, surely you put everything in the best place at the right time and it has to have a better chance of working than 15%?? Anyway it is our only option right now so I´m going for it! Feels good to have a plan!

Good stuff Natsby! I hope it works!

They told us that it is 15% chance for someone younger to conceive naturally too so that is the way we looked at it

 

[keekeesaurus]

That's great news nats!
I'm excited for you too!

 

[Viking15]

Go Nats! Having a plan feels so much better to me!

 

[Sus09]

Nats! That is fantastic news!
So it looks like we are both on cooter tabs! I picked mine up today from the doctor. I have to start them after Ov.
I bet you are excited about your IUI sending you lots of

My OH´s SA pot has arrived as well, Unfortunately they have given him an appointment next Monday and it falls in Ov time. So FS has asked us to delay that appointment as she wants us TTCing this cycle and evaluate how I get on with the cooter tabs.

Natsby and Sus, glad to hear good news and progress. Sus, it seems like it's always something for your OH but at least you'll get to try this month. Any word on the cysts or did I miss it?

Okay, I had my checkup yesterday. It wasn't really good news. Although my blood tests and ultrasounds look great, I'm not ovulating. Apparently I haven't been for some time. Apart from my age, my doctor thinks it may be stress or my weight, but he doesn't really know. I know I need to lose some but I didn't think I was so overweight I would stop ovulating. I have gained weight right around my waist in the last year.

He's doubling my dose of Primolut, indefinitely. After I've lost 20 pounds, he will give me Clomid for three months, increasing the dose each month. If nothing happens from that (doesn't make me ovulate/don't get pregnant), it's IVF. He personally thinks we should skip the Clomid and go right to IVF, but I asked to try the Clomid first. I am really upset about this. I lose weight only with great difficulty. It might take me six months to lose 20 pounds.

Or it's just forget the whole thing and go on with my life.

Never give up! They can say what they want but you don´t know if Clomid works until you try it, and it if is what you want then go for it!

 

[Natsby]

Anna Laura I hope you prove the DR wrong quickly.

 

[Desperado167]

Laura ,hope the clomid works and u prove those darn doctors wrong ,good luck sweetie ,

 

[AnnaLaura]

Thanks, girls. I still don't know what I think about all this, basically being infertile. My doctor did say that it might spontaneously resolve itself.

I am a little fatigued with the whole thing. It's been going on for two years now, worrying about TTC and also these problems with my cycles. I know that's not long compared to some of the women here.

Don´t give up hunni! I understand how you feel, Look at me, I have been trying since I was 30, (will be 37 soon) well with a 3 year break since I split with my ex and met my OH. We are here for you.

Anna Laura .
I hope the clomid works honey. I have no idea what Primolut is?
Hang in there!

Thanks! Primolut is synthetic progesterone, norethisterone to be exact. I wasn't sure about taking it but agreed to try it. The first three months I took 5 mg a day and it didn't regulate my cycle, so my dr. has now put me on 10 mg a day and I am not pleased. I feel like I've got really severe PMS.

I have to take this for 2 months and see if I have a normal length cycle, try to lose 20 pounds (ha) and then try Clomid.

Dang Anna......that's a bummer.

Why can't you try clomid while loosing weight, or perhaps find another doctor to prescribe the clomid? 20 pounds just doesn't sound like it should make or break ttc for woman.

Are you open to the idea of IVF?
