@jet lag

im ok thanks hun, just went out shopping and felt soooooo hot i thought i was going to pass out and then got a mouth full of sick (nice!)

my fingers are crossed for you today - hipe you get some answers xx

 

[Mishy30]

Each day it's get more and more promising for you doesn't it I hope you get your BFP and soon Miss!!!

You think i'm joking about the jet lag but i'm not! It just shows up whenever the hell it feels like it which is annoying my last cycle was 42 days grrr drives me crazy!!!

I'm so excited! I just want to get there already and find out what the hell is going on and what do we do from here ... They hubby is calming me down and saying all the right things (for once hehe) and were both looking forward to something new. The OB/GYN is one that was referred to us by one of my friends here and so far he has been brilliant which has eased a lot of my anxiety phew i thought he was going to give me a lot of drama with the medical transcripts i brought from home and make me do everything again blah but thanking my stars he isn't

 

[Pinky32]

i had a 53 day cycle in nov so took agnus castus which regulated me and now im doing it all on my own - positive opks, ewcm, ov etc

the hardest part of seeing a specialist is finding someone you like, trust and believe in so its great that you have someone that you like

yayyyy for OH saying the right things lol

 

[Mishy30]

Tell me about it but for once i think he gets it and if thats the only thing he is ever going to understand well i'll be happy with that lol besides whats a marriage without a bit of passionate fighting every now and then haha

I know what you mean about finding the right specialist ... I was certain i was going to get a douchey doc just cause of prior experiences here but as it turns out luck was on my side and he seems great (I say seems now because i still want to hear what he has to say)

Oh lord sometimes it just feels like i'm waiting ... waiting for to try, waiting to ovulate, waiting for this test, waiting for that test, waiting for a bfp ... it's never ending like

 

[Pinky32]

oh im with you on that one - all we do is wait, wait, wait!

well my finding a good specialist, your one step closer

the passionate fighting is fine - the making up is even better lol

 

[Mishy30]

I thought the only reason to fight was to make up haha

 

[Pinky32]

oh yeah

 

[Mishy30]

So basically the Doc says that he doesnt think i ovulated on my last AF and wants to put me on clomid. A SA ordered for the DH and also wants me to seriously consider taking out my right tube. So more tests and more wait and we'll see Oh well i guess the main thing is were progressing right?

 

[Pinky32]

clomid is good, ive heard so many good things about that!

why is he talking about removing your right tube?

Do you temp? The best and only true way of knowing if you have ov;d is to temp

 

[Mishy30]

No i don't temp but i think it's time i start

He wants the right tube because he says I am at high risk for a an ectopic pregnancy and if they take the right tube that will eliminate any future risks.

I've heard some good stories on clomid so i'll just cross my fingers and hope it helps!

 

[Pinky32]

temping is sooooo easy - i can talk you thru it in a few seconds

why is your right tuve at high risk from ectopic? sorry for so many questions but it just seems drastic

Oh Mishy30 I hope things improve for you!!! The world is cruel sometimes - with the amount woman go through already it's so unfair to throw other obstacles in the way of something so natural!!! I hope it gets sorted soon and things don't turn out as drastic as the dr thinks... have you had a second opinion as well??? Baby dust hun and good luck!

 

[Mishy30]

@ Pinky - Thanks luv. I'm looking up everything now but if i have any questions I'm sure I will chew your ear off about them If i ovulate on my right side then I could still get pregnant but the egg could get trapped in my tube and they would have to take it out anyway. I asked If there was a high percentage of this happening but he didn't say. I don't really want to have the surgery but it's something the DH and I have yet to discuss.

@Happy - Thanks girl. I have to admit coming out of the the appt I was upset and bitter A lot of 'why me' and sniffling. I've looked up a lot of what the doc says but the DH and I are going to have a sit down as discuss what we want to do. I was just at a point where I was hoping to get a bit of good news but she down again. I've lost 50 pounds, I stopped drinking, exercise and eat healthy and it's still not enough. You just come to a point where it's like 'what else do i need to do' but cest la vie

 

[Pinky32]

all you have to do is register for free with www.fertilityfriend.com

every morning, before you get out of bed, yawn, fidget, talk etc take your temp either orally or vaginally (vag is more acurate but its not necessary)

the temp has to be taken at the same time each morning, some pple set an alarm clock, temp, then go back to sleep

make a note on your chart of your temp and any cm, opk results etc that you may have, fertility friend will give you red crosshairs after you have ov'd

ideally you should have a therm with .02 decimals- i got mine from amazon for about £4

there are videos on FF that talk you through temping but the above is the basics


have they done a scan to show problems with the right tube?

I have a friend in the exact same boat as you minus the tube scenario... but she has tried everything and no explanations... have you tried accupuncture or natural alternatives? also heard goji berries and Maca was good too

 

[Mishy30]

@ pinky - HSG & Lap on the tubes. The right was blocked with scarring from adhesions they believe were from a cysts as i'd have problems with them before. The scarring was too bad that clubbed the tube.

@Happy - Thanks girl i'll look into both goji and maca! As for the acupuncture i've thought about it but maybe thats something i need to look into also

Thankyou ladies for your support and help The hubby is doing what he can but sometimes its hard to explain your frustrations when it's YOUR body that is going through all these blood tests and procedures!!

 

[Pinky32]

oh right i see, im so sorry xx

Is there nothing they can do with the tube to help strengthen it and unclub it?

I know that our body takes it in turns to chuck an egg out from each tube every other month, if the tube was removed, does that mean that the left would chuck it out each month?

Its not something that you would rush into doing without knowing all the facts.

Having said that, I read about a week ago someone who had one of their tubes removed and she went on to conceive quite quickly

 

[Mishy30]

Hey Miss Pinky hehe Sorry i have been MIA just needed a rest from the website and a couple of days without baby on the brain Were going to see our OB for more information on the tube removal procedure, recovery time and side effects etc The DH has actually been amazing so far we have our 3 year anniversary on 3rd so that's something to look forward to
