First fertility appointment

[sammy1987xxx]

I'm hoping for better results. Has he cut down on training much?
How many dpo do u think u r xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

Nope he's full on training again now, hence the being tired, achy. Think the doc saying it doesn't affect him has given him the all clear to get back into it.
Think I'm going to have to say to him next month we need to have sex more. For 4 days can we go for it and give it a good go. I've put off saying it now for now 18 months. At first we were at it even every other day, but now perhaps 5 times a month which means we are not even giving it enough tries.

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Yea I had to say that two that whilst I'm ovulating we need to go for it.
I think cycling does harm sperm tho!
I hope he understands xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

I reckon I'm 2/3 days dpo if my opk was positive on the 29th, but ewcm was still present on the 30th.

Will be due on 14th Feb! And I'm usually bang on time roughly 24_26 day cycle.

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Think I'm due the Sunday before v day. What a day to be due tho! Xx

well even he said the his cycling must affect the quality/quantity of the swimmers - but the dr said unless he was cycling as much as Lance Armstrong then it doesn't affect it - he's not that bad, but cycling for 80 miles, then running a marathon straight afterwards can't be good for his swimmers, the heat alone and the jostiling the sacks go through!

Right in the past i told him i was in my fertile period and he said that as i said that it put him right off and totally unromantic, and did the opposite of wanting to dtd. So since then i have not said a thing and just tracked and tried on my own - pretty hard when it is just one person trying all the time.
Just gonna have to be blunt with him and see how it goes - hopefully we'll be in the new house by the next time i am "fertile" so a ploy could be to christen each room..... he seemed quite excited about having a new en-suite with this two man sized shower (as he described a sex shower!) so you never know.

My boobs are still tender tho, so looks like they'll stay this way until AF shows in two weeks time - oh the joys!!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

I must be quite lucky as my oh knows that he has to do it when I'm fertile he does get shirty about it when we fight about him going out or away when it falls lol. He's fairly good tho apart from when it drags out. But he sed when wer on clomid we'l have to do it everyday
I hope ur in the new house xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

You lucky thing - trouble is hubby is a stubborn so and so at times. So he'll stick to his guns even if he is in the wrong, just not to loose face.
but the talk will have to be done - surely dtd at least 4 days on the trot isn't the hardest thing for him to do?

Oh well - now i've O the pressure is off now and there is nothig more i can do about what hasn't happened.

 

[pcsoph2890]

eurgh,

my boobs are geting really painful now - and got another 9 days til AF arrives - boy aren;t i lucky!!
Makes me think i'm out already, so now just on a countdown to less painful boobs!
Gonna call the clinic tomorrow to see if the results are in for hubbies SA.

 

[sammy1987xxx]

I read a article about sore boobs in the tww comparing and getting a better understanding around it. Il try and find it.
I'm due sun/mon time. I presume it's another failed cycle even tho hsg cycle. I don't have any symptoms. Oh wants us to start testing at about 10 dpo!!!!
Let me know about oh sa?! Xx

Hi
I had blood tests on cd 22 , as cd 21 was sunday...today I had an appointment with GP in order to discuss tests results she said that my blood tests all are normal but Progesterone level is 27...According to her it should be above 30 so then its regarded as normal so she said that I am on borderline may be I dont ovulate or according to her I dont have enough eggs...but she referred my DH for SA which has done today...so ill probably get results tommrow or within one week..GP said that if my DH results come out normal so she ill refer me to fertility specialist after which they ill decide but she said that probably they ill prescribed me fertility drugs...

 

[pcsoph2890]

Hey Tulip...

Sounds similar to me....

Although as my boobs hurt before i O, which is apprently a sign body is ready to O which i have never had before (i always get ewcm, and positive OPK) so another thing to say that i did OPK..

My fertility dr said that he liked it to be above 30 as well, but did not tell me what i was score wise.
Hubby has given his second SA, so will call tomorrow to see when we can go and get the results and see what will happen to me and probably have a HSG to check my tubes etc!

I have a whole list of questions to ask the dr when i go back though, including questions about my levels and how will/do they check whether i am ovulating or not?

 

[pcsoph2890]

wah hoo -called the clinic today we have an appt tomorrow at 11:15 to discuss the SA results, and see what will happen to me next dependant on the results. Plus can ask all the questions I have thought of since our last appt!

Excited but at the same absolutely bricking myself, as i know how upset i got last time (more of a delayed reaction)

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Let me know xx

 

[tulip11]

yesterday my DH had SA test...so on Friday we ill get his results I hope for the best....

10 dpo bfn x

 

[pcsoph2890]

Looks like it's gonna be ivf for us.

His swimmers are Neill, but not many of them after the wash. Iui would be pointless and the sister said ivf would be the best chance.

Actually fine about it - scary what I'm going to have to go through - but we'll go with the flow.not e expecting much


Fillip - interesting thing the nurse said was that the Dr bases the blood tests based on a 28 day cycle. So if you have a longer or shorter cycle the levels will be taken on the wrong day.
My bloods showed 20 and she said that if I had them taken on day 21 I was too late in my cycle, it should've been day 17/18. So not too worried about that.

So we have chosen the clinic, so should probably be about 3 months from now until we do a pregnAncy test to see if it has worked or not!!!

 

[pcsoph2890]

Looks like I'm out af seems to be coming a week (yes a week) early. Was hoping the pink I saw on the paper was implantation bleed, but it looks like I am having the build up to af coming. Bit gutted this month.can't be bothered to test as its inevitable she is coming painful boobs, cm has disappeared!
Just can't understand why she is coming so early?? I'm only on day 20, of what is usually a 24-28 day cycle!!!!!

I've told hubby he probably needs to tell his mum what we'll be going through with ivf, as I think it's not good to keep it from them and I think we'll need their support whilst going through it! And I know if people start to talk about isn't it time we started having babies just easier not to have to explain why we aren't pregnant. As I find that is the most awkward thing to explain and embarrassing for those asking too!!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Hi. Will be a hard conversation for him but it has to be done.
Sorry to hear af symptoms have arrived. Has the witch arrived.
I have af symptoms too so she will prob be hear today making my LP of 11 days according to charts. Second month running. It's always been 13 -14 days tho
Aren't our body strange. Xxx

 

[pcsoph2890]

Well dtd last night and it looked like I was about to start, but nothing so far today. Boobs still tender tho....
My lp is always 13 days... So that is always pretty consistent. As is my ad. Pretty much guarantee that I start when I'm due to start!
I would test, but I've missed morning urine to test, so will see what shows on the tp today and might test tomorrow and wait for the disappointment confirmed!!!!
Just wish pmt symptoms were totally different to pregnancy symptoms.... makes these weeks like a ticking clock to af arriving!!!!
