First fertility appointment

[mizza1987]

Good luck!! Congratulations on the house!! I can't wait to move! We are saving like crazy!! I'm still feeling crampy from the HSG which is a bit uncomfortable but hoping it stops soon! X

 

[pcsoph2890]

hope ur feeling better soon - when should you hear the results???

 

[mizza1987]

they told me there and then that it was all fine and showed me the pictures and what bit was what. otherwise i reckon we would have had to wait for this appointment. he did tell me before he started that if it was bad he couldn't tell me what it meant and what the next step was though. feeling less crampy now :0) starting night shifts tonight though and they always make me feel crampy and rubbish anyways so roll on monday morning!! have got an appt now for the ultrasound scan on Jan 28th but follow up now isn't until 22nd March as consultant is on holiday!! but we have been told we can ring to see if there's any cancellations! hubby and i have been talking and since things look more positive now, we might just wait until end of march and see what nature can do for us between now and then since we're both more relaxed about it now.xxx

 

[pcsoph2890]

Yeah.... must admit since we had the date for the appt I have felt more relaxed about it all, not tempt, opk just gone with the flow.
this month I was laid up with flu (yes real flu not just a cold) that when I was fertile. as had ewcm literally dripping out of me, we managed a day before I think I was due to circulate.
although I never symptom watch my nipples,are slightly more sensitive than normal - but think I'm imagining things!! nothing else is tweaking my suspicions. only 7 days til AF arrives!!!!

just need the hubby to make that appt to drop off his sample so that we can see if he has improved or just to get the ball rolling with checking me out internally!!!
Will jee him on tomorrow night to do it!!!

glad your feeling better too!
btw - what job do you do with working night shifts - both myself and my hubby work shifts too?!

 

[mizza1987]

I'm a nurse, work in ITU :0) my hubby is a teacher so works normal hours! i'm on CD 15 at the moment, should probably ovulate friday ish so long way to go for my cycle but we're ''getting back to basics'' and putting some romance back in and having date nights instead of just having sex to have a baby!! :0)

 

[pcsoph2890]

good idea.... after awhile it does seem like having sex is just for one purpose, and the romance and fun goes out of it!
we''re both police officers, I don't work shifts, but hubby kind of works them - although no full night shifts which is always good!
hubby is going to try to make the appt for his sample on Friday, which means it'll take 5 days to test so we''ll have to go back for results then see what happens with us then!!!

 

[SKP]

My first appointment is on March 4th.
Altogether that would be 9 months to have the appointment, 5 months for the call, and 4 for the booking.

Extremley nervous, hubby tested above and beyond for SA; that was 2 years ago.

I been temping, using pre seed, day 3 and 21 tests on certain months. And just finished my 8th round of Clomid.going natural this cycle ( no Clomid)

Also did an HSG 2 years ago, and 2 ultrasounds and an internal. All clomid really did was regulate my cycles.

And im definietly bding at the right times and more. Im very intuned with my body.

One doc said I have some sort of blockage, the other doc said not really. No sign of PCOS or endometrioses.

So Im pretty much at wits end until my appointment with the fertility specialist.

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Soph took two weeks for oh sa to come back for us.
Don't be scared skp it really was ok. I'm going thro the tests uv already had so ur ahead of the game and all out appts are march too.
They will help u. If ur hsg came back ok then no blockages!
Did u see the baby makers on bbc?
Xxxx

 

[sammy1987xxx]

I have irregular periods too. Did clomid give u 26 day cycle? Oh will have to do another sa if it was two years ago xxxx

 

[pcsoph2890]

yes did watch it made me feel less optomistic about the success of it all...... in fact watched it and I did cry thinking that my chances of becoming a mum was getting more and more remote - but hey ho....
I hope sa does come back after two weeks as on a course at the no and wouldn't be able to get time off to go to the hospital.... but what with the house I'm so relieved to have that to think about, otherwise I think I'd be going insane inside my own head....hard enough when I'm on a course about child abuse and watching and learning things that happened to baby P - breaks my heart to listen watch about it all.

oh well back to house stuff to keep me occupied!!!!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

I cried my eyes out they were realistic tho I needed to see that. They portrayed 1 in 4 being successful. Hard to watch but it was interesting xx

 

[SKP]

The hsg was horrible, the technician had alot of trouble. And I could only see one side that was filled with the dye.But yet they say the hsg was good, but one doc says i have a blockage and one dont :S

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Hsg tomorrow. I'm literally so scared!! Read about how bad if is xxx

 

[mizza1987]

Honestly it's not that bad. I was so scared before mine. I took 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen before I went and all I had was some cramps in my back and then some stomach cramps the next day. Good luck xxx

 

[pcsoph2890]

speaking to a lady at work today, she went down the ivf route. first go unsuccessful, she reckons due to they put her on a low dose of drugs.
second go unsuccessful too.
then she had a really long heavy af - she described as her insides coming out for 5 days so she had to take time off work as it was that heavy.
she then went back as she thought that something was wrong with her cause of the bleeding and wanted to get tested before she gave it a last try and she did a pregnancy test as they always check they aren't pregnant before she started the testing and lo and behold she was pregnant naturally.
She thinks that her insides had a right old release of old stuff which caused to get . pregnant.
She was ttc for 7 years, and gave herself until the age of 40 to see if it w poo wild happen then she'd give up ivf and see what would happen......

kinda gave me hope and I'm hearing lots of people my age who do get success through ivf (if that's what we have to do) so I'm trying g to feel more positive about it all. But it got me again and had to gulp back the emotion about it all!!!!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Thanks mizza can't stop panicking.
Pcsoph r u going for tests? Anytime soon xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

hubby has to get his arse into gear and make an appt for another sperm sample. until then and they have the results back nothing further can be done....

bloody frustrated about it all at the moment. AF is due as I am getting a bit emotional feel like all I have done over the past two weeks is sold the house, after doing 50 viewings, plus the two hours cleaning beforehand. sorted the new mortgage out, sorted the survey, solicitors, etc, and all he moans about is that the house is listed as an end terrace rather than a semi detached. No thanks for doing all this, finding the house and getting everything sorted, all he's happy about is that once he gives his sample his role is done, what happens to me is irrelevant (well it's what I feel like today) I'm just trying to contain everything- sorting out our future home, whilst trying not to think about this fertility issue...... feel like I'm a little pressure cooker about to explode.
think I need to have a good cry on my own tomorrow night when he's at work to let it all out! plus a bottle of wine to myself to drown my sorrows too!!!!

as you can tell having a right woe is me moment!!!!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Hope he's made his appt now. Hope ur baring up. It's a shame they couldn't do routine tests on u at same time as I'm sure ul need to have them before Ivf or iui to rule u out.
Just got back from hsg with the all clear. It was fine I felt nothing and it was a amazing experience to c on the screen. Nothing to worry about xxx

 

[mizza1987]

glad it all went well for you sammy x
pcsoph it sounds like you're having a really rough time at the moment :0( my hubby didn't get it about the tests I had to have done until I told him exactly what they do and he was then a lot more sympathetic and understanding xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

he made the appt 29th Jan - it was the earliest they could do...... So least I can get my course out of the way. I was told today that my work allow time off from.work for ivf and tests etc!!!!
had a bad day today got upset a few times, looking forward to large glass of wine and steak tonight!!!!
