Hurry up BFPs!!! We are ready when you are :-)

[MrsBroodyPant]

Happily im sorry your appointment wasnt more positive. I know that clomid will be your answer! Once the SA is done then u should be able to get it.
Did u actually tell the doc that u masturbate? I couldnt think if anything more embarrasing xxx

 

[HappilyTTC]

I didn't. I actually hadn't thought of it until I came home.

I would have totally told him about it if I had thought of it.



Do you think he could have confused the arousal stuff and EWCM? I'm thinking no since he grabbed the "EWCM" from the speculum.

Sorry u got a negitive opk. I get ewcm quite a lot at different times during my cycle. Did the doc say u need to go back if af doesnt come soon? This long wait is terrible for u xxx

 

[ece77]

Cath & Mrs BP - I really envy you both. This is our first cycle back to TTC and I'm already a worry-wort.

Happily - Sorry about the bad news. Hope DH's SA comes back OK and you'll be prescribed with a convenient drug to straighten things out. But it seems you need to convince him that you actually have to have sex with "him" to be able to get pregnant! Man are so dumb sometimes! Hope that smiley smiles in no time

 

[HappilyTTC]

No. He said that I should go back if my husband gets the SA and he will give me Clomid. Or... he will call me if the results of the pap are not good.

This wait is killing me and I feel pretty sad today. I am still trying to be positive, but I just wanna stay in and hide for the next week.

 

[cathgibbs]

Awww left wondering that was lovely bless you hun xxx

Awwww Happily how annoying! I dont think he could have got it confused hun but I don't know?

Ece it takes ALOT of patience hun...sone cycles you think ahhh sod it lol xxx

Ece77 i honestly dont know how ive kept so chilled out but after years of ttc im getting fed up of it and almost feel like i cant be bothered anymore. It has consumed my life for so long. Im sure aftee a little break i will be back obsessing!

Morning all,

It's early here but can't sleep, I went to bed too early.

Hubby's first sperm count was 4 million
He went on menevit vitamins as per FS & redid test 3 months later
Hubby's second count was 6 million

At the same set of testing we found out he is xyy rather the normal xy & from there we were referred to a genetic counsellor.

My chromosome testing came back normal but my egg reserve was extremely low, so assisted conception (IUI or IVF) was pretty much our only option.

The chromosome and AMH (egg reserve tests) were expensive but it gave us a lot of information.

mornin,
susan hun you know this chromosome thing, did you get tested for it from the FS hun? is it just a random test they do, or do you have to ask for it? cos they aint offered andy any blood tests??? infact they've said there done with him???? i'd like that test, well i wouldn't but it would rule some stuff out
xxxxxxxx

Yes, FS ordered it but only because we were both in our 30's and she knew we needed fertility treatment so ordered all the tests she could so we'd have a full picture

ohh were both in our 30's, well he's 31 and i'm 34, so i'm the top end, grrr... should i ask if we're having it done? what is it hun? bloods? for him and me? and like whats worst case? xxxxx

 

[xxDreamxx]

Well, we were over 35 but it was all done privately and cost about $800 so £400 approx. because it was going to be IVF or IUI it was handy to know ahead of time if there were any genetic issues. Also after the loss, I had a full thrombophilia screen (again, private & about $300) and it picked up several things including auto immune condition and a borderline result on a clotting problem. I was told I would need to take aspirin when I was pregnant again.

I don't know about UK but ask your Dr about these tests & if they are not funded into NHS, then you can just pay privately (I would have thought)

yeah we're not entitled to ivf or iui cos i've got josh, but his words "we can help you" aint really that encouraging, cos i really dont know how?? i've had some clooting test done, cd4 fsh/lh... then cd21 will be done, i've gotta have 2 cycles of bloods for this mmmm, so i could try and ask for a thrombophilia screen? its all scary shit this... if my eggs are shit, then would even ivf work if we pay??? or you talking bloody donor????
hows you anyways hun? no more little scare's??? xxxxx

Here in Australia we get part funded fertility but most of it is out of pocket. I paid $1600 for IUI and got $500 back from Medicare (our version of public health). As for eggs, if they test you and chromosomally you are fine, then they can test egg reserve (AMH). Normal here in Australia is above 15. Mine is 1.2. Some clinics won't even do IVF or IUI with a low number like that, they suggest donor eggs. Mine didn't. We had 1 cycle of IUI and fell pregnant, lucky I guess. After that we were referred to IVF or ICSI and the Dr said he would be happy to end up with 1 embryo from me, but that never happened as I fell in the meantime. Both FS, Clinic and Ob were stunned.

Afm - I am ok....just taking each day as it comes. thanks for asking

yes well you need to take it easy young lady, no more scares!!! whens your next scan hun?
ohhhh i thought this fsh was to see my egg reserve?? so its amh thats the scary one xxxxxx

 

[cathgibbs]

Yeah Sarah I think you may have to pay for those tests xx

Dream is it the chromosome issue thats passed down from the parents e.g hubbies parents?

Morning everyone else how are we? Xxx

 

[ece77]

Good morning ladies,

Sarah - It's so unfair you're not entitled to ivf if things come to that. You may have a child but your spouse doesn't! Bureaucracy is such a dumb dumb thing!

Cath & MrsBP - Thanks for the tricks. I may have to use them next month! Temping makes me crazy. I wake up a lot during the night worrying my temps will not rise, they won't be reliable, etc.

Susan - Glad everything is fine. When is your next scan?

AFM - Temp stayed high (it seems) so I guess I'm really 2DPO. I'm really getting nervous as test time is nearing

[MrsBroodyPant]

Morning all.

Ece77 im guessing im probably about 2dpo too!

How does the chromosome test help? If u find out something is wrong like with Susans DH there is nothing u can do to change it anyway.....or is there? X
