Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

SB, we love you. My heart is breaking for you. I hope that you get your baby. We'll miss you.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Readyornot, I knew I remembered someone being in hospital having contractions before V day, couldn't remember if it was you or someone on my spotting thread. Sending you big hope you feel better soon & you & DH get on a bit better.

Soleil, so sorry you're giving up ttc for a bit & you're leaving us Hope your break helps both your body & your mind hun, take care & come back soon

Mrsmax, shush with your IVF won't work statement lol, PMA!! I really think it WILL work for you

x

 

[rosababy]

ready, i'm so sorry you're feeling so sick. That sucks. Sounds like you and hopeful are in the same boat.

mrsmax, only 3 weeks until your retrieval! What are you doing for DR? Sniffing or jabs? I can't remember...have you started that yet?

 

[mrsmax]

SB We will miss you and you will get your baby. Please come back when you are ready just to let us know how you are.

MrsP - PMA is missing at the moment. I dont feel particularly down just not very confident. It is my damn AMH score haunting me. m having hypnosis to tr to make me feel more positive!!

Rosa - yes, over 2 weeks in on the DR. Jabs. Yuck.Dh has to do them - I cant bear it. What a wimp I am. Still, makes us feel like a team though which is nice. Baseline scan next Wed (4th April). I remember someone syaing you must drink lots of water - when is that? Stimming or DR? Then I remember someone saying on your thread no water just gatorade - can you remind me pls?

Massive hugs SB xxx

 

[MsJMouse]

So sorry SB. I can completely understand the need to get away from ttc. TTCAL is shit. Hugs. Good luck with your field work. I hope that when you do log on again that you will have your bfp.

Ready it doesnt sound like your pregnancy has been much fun. Hopefully the remaining time will go more smoothly.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Oooh hypnosis Mrsmax, that's very interesting! Hope it works for you! x

 

[rosababy]

mrsmax, really it's best to drink lots of water throughout it all. However, I drink tons of water all the time and still had ohss after my 2nd retrieval. Remember the tomato juice diet? Had too much fluid in my abdomen so I couldn't add to it by drinking water.

 

[mrsmax]

Rosa - oh no. well, Ihave started drinking 3 litres a day - usually I only have a glass or two a day DH is keeping track now so cant cheat! I happen to love Tomato Juice but guessing I wouldn't after being forced to drink it as long as you did!!!

 

[rosababy]

Yes, def need more than a few glasses. Even if you weren't stimming! (shame shame! ) Honestly, I don't know if that "plenty of water" thing really decreases your chances of ohss, because it sure didn't with me. AND the two rounds were completely different. One, I was fine, two and I was not fine. I drank the same both times.

Good that you like tomato juice! I don't like it at all. I had mostly soup and one little can of juice and then snuck some gatorade. I couldn't be dehydrated!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Urgh god hope I don't need IVF & drink tomato juice, I think its vile & I'd be sick lol x

Hello Ladies, it's been awhile. I tried to read back as far as I could. Looks like there's a lot going on.

First let me says Congrats to Pink. What wonderful news! I must confess I signed on today searching for a BFP pick me up. So glad it was you, hun! Stick little bean stick! H&H all the way for you. Woohoo!


MrsMax so sorry you had to endure another Mother's Day waiting. I dread going through it myself this year as ours is in May. But your PMA says it all! Rooting for you all the way, girl! April can't come fast enough I bet!

MrsPttc I see you have a fs appt coming up! Wishing you the best! Hoping you get all the answers you deserve to be that much closer to a BFP. I couldn't tell exactly where you were in your cycle. From your tags it seems like waiting for BFP on clomid before the FS appt? If so I'm praying this is it! We're on clomid too except it's DH who has the prescription. Best wishes with everything!

Ready-so sorry for all that you're going through. Hoping you feel so much better. Praying for you and growing little one, H&H all the way!!

Soleil- you are brave and you are strong! I know it's going to happen for you! So sorry you've had to wait and go through so much pain. Take all the time you need away. We'll be here rooting you on one way or another


MsJmouse-couldn't tell where you were at with everything from the pages I read, but wishing you the best just the same as usual.


Hakuna,Crumbs, Hopeful, Rosa and all other preggies still wishing you H&H successful journeys into motherhood!

If there is anyone I missed this time please charge it to my confused mind and not my heart.

Missed you all so much!

Reading your posts, its like have been there with each one of you and could literally feel what you all were/are going through....Please do not worry or stress as we all will be blessed, maybe sooner or later...that is my faith in the Almighty...!!!

Thanks MrsMax, Its like I have been living each day with you all and if I remember correctly there were only 6 left awaiting BFP's right? And if you ladies would be generous enough to count me in that would make it 7, which is my lucky number...!!!

I really feel that this is the best lot, trust me I am being honest...!!! Have seen all, right from the day you started in here and how you all bonded with each other..!! It took me a week to read everything, and have no idea what kept me glue to your thread, but the fact is that I managed to read all 286 pages...yay...!!!

Have hypothyroid and PCOS, so it has been a waiting game for me, stopped being treated for PCOS(by the doc) way back as I had regular cycles...I, even forgot that I had PCOS, untill now when my period got delayed for more than 2 months(has never happened ever)...It was the longest cycle ever of 70 days...gosh...was that excruciating, ask me...

Anyways, getting my TSH tested again this monday and have an appointment fixed with the doc later next week...Lets see how it goes, keeping my fingers crossed...!!!

How have you been? You are going in for IVF, right...? And how has Rosa been...? I was literally in tears when she announced that her beta is 128 something...!!!

Well this is about me, ask me whatever you feel like and I am glad that am a part of this group..now......!!!

 

[rosababy]

Jogu, WOW! That's a lot of reading! Good for you! And thanks for asking. I'm doing fine. 18 months is about what I did, too, at the end of everything. Including IVF. I waited almost a year to go to the RE. Any plans for assistance?

Mrsmax, just noticed that you're only 2.5 weeks away from retrieval! How are you doing? Have you started stimming yet? My guess is no...I only stimmed for 10 days. How are you feeling?

Hey Rosa... Congrats on your long awaited pregnancy dear...!!! I was so happy when I read it, trust me when I was reading the previous posts, was hoping and praying that you be blessed this time, Oh God, please...

I know this sounds weird, but I am already feelin connected to you all...!!!

As for me, getting started with the treatment again, by getting my TSH tested and then my DH's SA...The thing is the doc had asked us to get SA done long back but my DH never agreed, maybe he was thinking that I am the one (considering the fact that I have thyroid and PCOS)...!!!

Tests and doc's appointment, all scheduled for next week, lets see how things are...!!!

I am so glad that I can now share these things with you all, though in a virtual world but trust me it is a great relief and knowing you all and sharing with people(like you all) you can very well understand is a bliss...!!!

Will keep you posted...!!! How are you doing and hey wanted to know how did you announce it to your DH..?? Just curious...!!!

 

[jogu07]

And yes I remember MrsMax always complainin that "I am bad at typin etc..", everytime I used to read that, it made me smile...!!! Dont know y, but it was cute...!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hey Jogu! Welcome to the thread! But OMG that really IS a lot of reading . I would definitely push for DH's SA hun, it's easy to assume it's probably you with your PCOS & thyroid problems, but it could be DH too, best to know, right?! GL with your appointments next week.

Hi Rosa :wave: How's the bump?

Mrsmax, not long now, eek! So exciting! Then you will be PUPO lol.

AFM, DH 2nd SA results came back today, 10 months since the last ones. Everything is still fine but some things have gone up, some gone down (which I'm pee'd off at as he's been on the vits & maca & stopped smoking since Jan so it should've gone up!) Concentration has gone down from 96 to 51m/ml, motility 55 down to 53%, motile conc (whatever that means) down from 43 to 19 m/ml (big jump ) however morphology has gone up from 6 to 10% and volume from 2ml to 4. NB these are all based on the WHO manual as I know different FS use different measurements. I used a different hospital to where my FS is based, as at my hospital they make you do it there, whereas the other one you can take it in. So I'll need to email him or show him the results at my next appt (3 weeks on wed woo hoo!)

Almost finished my 2ww, 9-10 DPO (I think 10 due to my cyst pain that night) I wanted to test tomorrow but DH would rather wait until AF is due tues/wed. TBH I am scared anyway! REALLY hope she stays away or I will be au naturel (no clomid) next month x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry Regal, just remembered I haven't replied to you sorry, yes you are right, clomid cycle almost finished then by the time my appt comes I'll be around ovulation on my own. It'll be interesting to see how my natural cycle is after the clomid as it used to be pretty long before. It's funny your DH being the one on clomid, what does it do again? I've heard that men can inject it as steroids, weird! x
