Early 30's TTC #1

[jogu07]

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

Thanks Mrs......Yes, I dont know what got me glued to read everything but I did...

Yes, I agree however my DH is still not willing to get tested...!!!
Everytime I ask him to do it, he says yes but doesnt do it and that is very frustrating... Gosh, hope he understands how important it is to get tested..!!!

Ohh hope stays away from you this month...!!! Its Monday, you can test today rite, so Hoping and praying that this is your month...!!!

Going to my mom's place for a while and would be getting some tests done there, got to test my TSH first, hopefully atleast that is in control as of now..!!! Keeping my fingers crossed..!!!

Good Luck and loads of to you....!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thank you jogu! Not testing yet though, probably wed if AF doesn't show, due tues or wed. Oh your DH must be embarrassed & worried for his masculinity if it comes back not good! Men! My DH had a friend like that, even though DH got tested, he wouldn't, but luckily his OH got preggo on her own so he got out of it! GL with your tests x

MrsP - have everything crossed for you hon.

Jogu - I have read threads all the way through before and it can take ages. You derserve a medal. I have often wondered if people follow this thread but just dont post - I guess you are proof that they do.

Glad you have joined as not much action now - only MsJ, myself and MrsP who are really active TTCers now (although with RegalPeas and Aisak who occasionally drop by regularly).

I am just counting down to my baseline scan this Wednesday. Cant wait to get the stiming meds started!!!!

ps - did anyone notice I finally got an avator after being on BnB for 18 months! Will find a phot at some point, but want one that doesnt identofy me too much.

 

[mrsmax]

pss - if anyone else wants to find me on Facebook - just send me an email to my BnB address. I have a few of you on there already and it is really nice to put names to faces after "knowing" you all for so long. Strictly no TTc talk on there obviously!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Not looking good for me today ladies I'm gutted...but on the plus side I've had the best month yet spotting wise!

Mrsmax, yes I noticed your ticker & LOVE it! Will pm you my email address later!

bunny for easter

Sorry to hear things arent looking good this month - wish we could all just get our BFPs and then we could start a new PREGNANCY thread. We will get there soon.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Hi ladies!

Welcome, jogu!

MrsPTTC- Sorry to hear that things aren't looking promising this month. I'm glad that you have an apointment coming up and can come up with a new plan that works!! Right, April sometime? IMO, I think 6 months on Clomid alone was way too long, but no the less...a new plan with new hope to come!!!

MrsMax- YAY!! You are cruising right along!! Good luck with you scan on Wednesday. Sending you lots and lots of love and baby dust during this IVF journey.

Soliel- My heart breaks for you. Your positive attitude and sense of humor always bring a smile to my face. I pray that this break gives you the peace of mind and comfort that you need right now. I hope the break won't be long, friend.

Hope you all are doing well...Thank you so much everyone for such a warm welcome...

I am off to my mom's place, will get all the tests done there...and yes away from DH, when I ovulate this month, so I am out this cycle....Hoping everything goes fine...!!!

MrsPTTC - Please test and let us know, its Tuesday today so Keeping my fingers crossed for you..!!!

Mrs Max - Hope your scan goes well....GL and God Bless...!!!

SB - I know what you have gone through and hope that you get a BFP sooner than expected...Fingers crossed..!!! God Bless and God Bless...!!!

First,MrsPTTC I would like to say I am so sorry about your BFN. Hang in there! You're time is coming.

Also, Clomid for men is said to help with count and motility. The goal is for more viable(for a lack of a better word) sperm produced to increase chances of pregnancy.
However, there are side effects which vary from man to man. Also, it's not FDA approved for men to my knowledge. So he's slowly moving to zinc from clomid. It took him forever to start taking them now he really doesn't want to stop because he says it makes his balls bigger. ROFL They look the same size to me. No problem here I liked them the way they were. At this point I don't care if they are the size of a basketballs I just want him to be safe, healthy and get us pregnant.
SMH men.

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

Jogu! Welcome! I once read a thread on another ttc board all the way through. The original poster was having trouble getting pregnant after Fib.Rem. surgery. The thread spanned across a 3 year period. It took awhile but I read it like a good book off and on. I became very invested in the stories posted and by the end I wanted to know if the original poster ever got pregnant. So I bumped the thread and it started up again, but I never did find out what happened to her.
So I get it! I really do. Glad to know we have another 30+ ttc with us again.


Mrs.Max So close! So close! fx fx fx


Afm, I'm at a crossroads. Last cycle I did not get a positive OPk and my period barely lasted 2 days. Don't know what the heck that was all about. Won't even entertain it. DH and I are at a point where we're trying to figure out a few things including what approach we will take next. Keep us in your thoughts.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks ladies. Still no AF, spotting has subsided but still there. As I got a BFN yesterday I'm pretty sure I'm out. I hope she comes soon so I can get on with the next cycle!

Regal, thinking of you hun and at your DH and his big balls!!

Mrsmax, let us know how your scan goes! Looking forward to hearing about it

Hi Ladies

Welcome Jogu - well done for reading the thread all the way through. I have trouble keeping up with threads sometimes if I haven't logged on for a while - let alone reading one from front to end.

RegalPeas - love your avitar - how gorgeous. And I was at your hubby and his big balls.

MrsMax - less than two weeks to egg retrivial!! Wow so close. I did notice you have an avitar and also a ticker. Yay!!!

MrsP - sorry to hear about the BFN.

AFM: CD25 still no ovulation. This has not happened before on a month I have bothered to temp - thats not to say it hasn't happened on a month I haven't bothered to temp and just didnt know ie last month. One upside to this is it will hopefully mean AF is late so I won't have to deal with it on my holiday.

My DH is currently on a health kick and has lost a heap of weight (around 17kgs in the last few months - no idea what that is in pounds sorry) which is great cause hopefully that means his are getting healthy as well (here's hoping!!).

Happy Easter everyone as I am not likely to be online in the next few days/week.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Happy Easter Msjmouse! And thank you hun

Mrsmax, any news??

So my spotting only lasted a day & a bit then stopped completely. I couldn't believe it. Plus AF was late (I am never late or exceed a 12 day LP so this morning (13/14 dpo) I was stuck at work thinking I had a shy BFP & would test again when I got home. Then on my way home the dreaded cramps started, then got a BFN, the arrived without any more spotting to warn me! I was gutted, I think one of my most upset cycles I had a good cry before, but I'm ok now, just looking forward to seeing what the FS says... x

 

[mrsmax]

Mrs P - that is soooo unfair. I have had a couple of cycles like that and they are the worst!

Sorry - thought Iposted about my scan It was all good - although they did find a small fibroid. The nurse showed it to me on the scan - she said it was tiny and wouldnt effect my treatment but ot looked huge to me. Makes nme wonder if that has been an issue with my fertility - guess I can ask the consultant when I see her. She also couldnt find my right overy - she said it was sleeping - i hope I have a right overy - i guess it would have showed on HSG if not?!!! Anyway, lining was thin and I am now on day 2 of stimmimg. Injected myself for the first time this morning - very proud of myself, although had to do it twice cause some of the liquid stayed in the tube.

Now just trying to relax for Eatser Today is a good day s got to enjoy those when they come.

How are all you guys? Msj - not long until your holiday now!!!

Rosa/Hopeful - just think thsi time next year you can dress your babies as bunnies!! Dh said I cant do easter egg hunts with a babe in arms - so very disappointed about that. I felt sure next year I could join in the fun (and eat lots of choccie!!)

Happy Good Friday all.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Well done hun on your injections, you are very brave. How long do you need to inject for? Strange about your ovary but maybe its set back a bit? I don't recall seeing my ovaries on the HSG but it was a long time ago so I could've forgotten. My cyst looked huge too, it was massive compared to the follies, but apparently not that big...

Have a lovely Friday hun.

Oh and I've noticed Hakuna must have had her baby! She's changed her avatar & she looks gorgeous! Congratulations hakuna!

[mrsmax]

Thanks MrsP.

Yay for Hakuna - will go check that out now. That time has flown by! It will be all of us soon too
