For the Reproductively Challenged xxxxx

[Kelly9]

Coping is hard especially when you see everyone else around you getting their BFP but you manage some how and you tell yourself only so many days till this next step etc. Now I am 3 days away from my appointment and am getting so excited again! I want to be super hopeful that DH's sperm has gotten at least a wee bit better and that the docs will tell us we have a great shot at IUI working. If not i am going in prepared and will have all the appropriate documents with me the day of the apt so I can fill out the form for the charity funding for IVF. I just want my BFP at this point.

I will make sure my DH takes care of him self if we go longer then 3 days. Its not often but it does happen once or twice a cycle. We have to have sex tonight then not till thursday for his SA.

Heya - landed for me today so I'm gonna book in my HyCoSy and put the blood tests in the diary.

Oh - its so close isn't it... finally to get on with the IUI.
I really hope the S/A is better.
So hows it work? I thought they automatically did IUI and then IVF if it didn't work...
so might they just skip IUI and go straight for IVF then?

and you might have access to charity funding? that's great news.
Here you get 2 cycles free on the NHS but after that you have to pay.

so you're appointments on Thursday? what time?

hang on... how come I'm not stalking your journal?

I've got to do some work now but I'll be back online later xxxx

 

[Kelly9]

The appointment is pretty much all day DH has his SA at 930 then my ultrasounds at 130 then the consultation is at 2 then IVF info session at 7. They might just skip IUI I don't know what going to happen. If they do skip IUI then I want to start my meds for IVF right away but they might not have a spot for me so I would have to wait. We can apply for the fund but don't know if we will be approved.

 

[cazd]

that's gonna be a fab day - it'd just be incredible if the ultrasound showed up a little bean!

I wanted to ask your advice... I've got a letter to do my CD bloods.
CD 21 is easy but the other one says CD 2 3 or 4
which one would you choose?
I'm on CD2 now...

I'm going back to bed but it'll still be CD2 when I get up... !
xxxx

 

[Kelly9]

Cd3 is when I was always told to go in so go in then. I don't think it would show a bean it would be to early wouldn't it? besides it's going to be BFN for me anyway so I am going to test tomorrow morning instead of on thursday cause I figure I'll be to distraught thursday to remember everything. Tomorrow is 14dpo.

 

[cazd]

won't they do a urine HSG test before your appointment anyway.
and I'm sure they'll be able to pick up a bean if there is one...
they found a 14mm fibroid in me!
and 14 dpo... and your temps are good...

maybe you'll be just like aussie and drop a right before treatment!

 

[Kelly9]

Well it was BFN this morning so I am really doubting that. Witch will be arriving tomorrow.

 

[cazd]

oh no! sodding arsing

well the appointment today should be much fun but you'll probably be cramping and uncomfortable. boooo!

Best of luck for today - I hope it goes well..
Oh - you're 8 hours behind us so you're probably asleep....

I'll go post on your journal 'cos I'm out this evening but I'll be checking back asap to see how it all goes xxxx

I need some buddies like this. We have been TTC for 13 months. We went through all kinds of testing only to be told I have "unexplained infertility". I am trying Clomid this cycle. This site is so huge it is hard to sort through all the posts! But, I would love to make some TTC buddies here!

well hello! what a bugger - to be given that label - unexplained fertility.. bleugh

I suppose there should be some comfort that the tests didn't show anything.
I really hope the clomid works for you this time - 13 cycles in - its long enough for anyone

 

[Kelly9]

Still here ladies just not feeling like posting but will keep up.

 

[cazd]

I know.. youre having a poo time of it

I've done my CD3 bloods so just waiting for Ov and then the CD21 / 7dpo tests.
OH is off on Weds to donate his second S/A sample!

I really hope the results show an improvement from last time after he cut alcohol out...

 

[Kelly9]

I hope thy do to cadz. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what me and my DH are going through, its absolutely horrible.

 

[Mrs_N]

hey girls

stuck on cycle 7 at the moment, cd39 with very little idea of whats going on because I've been on holiday for 10 days and not temping/cm checking etc! It's been very refreshing actually but now I am suffering lack of info lol!

 

[Kelly9]

Oh mrs N I hope everything works out and they finally give you some clomid!!!!! I still can't believe they haven't.

 

[harmonygirl72]

Thanks for the welcomes!

 

[cazd]

no probs harmony - hows TTC treating you?

Mrs N - I'm surprised they're holding off the clomid - your charts are erm... a bit.... erratic... surely there's something they can do!

Hi all, well after a couple of weeks away I'm now back with a vengeance! Unfortunately got AF last week so onto another cycle. She left the building yesterday so I'm on a mission to consume lots of water, EPO and grapefruit juice in the hope of creating that elusive EWCM that I never seem to get. I'm convinced thats my problem, so am determined to do everything I can to get it. Anyone have any other tips?

Hope you're all doing ok. Haven't had chance to look back through the posts yet as got lots to do after my hols, but just thought I'd say hi. x
