Right tomorrow my bad.

I am still PUPO and optimistic but symptoms mean nothing when you do progesterone suppositories.

Hey ladies. DH and I went to the RE for the first time last night and he was actually really nice to us. he addressed all my questions and concerns. He did a sono last night and he did some bloodwork. the bloodwork was an hcg (to see if I'm pregnant. which he told me I shouldnt be surprised if it come back negative.), pregesterone, and he did genetics testing. which pretty much was to see if i was a carrier for anything....cystic fibrosis...something like that. He's sending DH in for some bloodwork today. I have to go to a lab for some bloodwork. He says he feels with DH's morphology and what not surgery really wouldnt help and he thinks we will have to do IVF. but he said he doesnt want to make any guesses like other ppl have been doing. he wants to know exactly what is wrong. he seemed like he genuinely wanted to help and like he was tailoring a plan specifically for us which was great. he wasnt like this is the first step i take with everyone then the second. I have to call them when I get my period then on day 3 of my period he wants me to get bloodwork and then again once between days 21-24 of my cycle. He told us he cant see why we wouldnt be pregnant within 6 months. But he wants to see exactly what all the bloodwork says first. He suggested we skip IUI this month, so pretty much we'll be taking the next month off from ttc.

Nicker-I'll wait till I hear from the DR today to make it officially a BFN but I'm sure it will be

Haj - IVf will get you prego right away! Seems like you are in good hands with your doc, trust in him and have faith this will work. At least this new cycle is a break from the meds etc which is good too as it allows your body to prepare for the new fresh awesome cycle you have coming uP!!!

yeah i'm just a worrier and ive seen ppl go through multiple IVF's and it doesnt work. Plus DH's insurance covers 3 IVF's in your lifetime but they cover 75%. So I'm just nervouse about how much it will cost and if we'll have the money and also since we only have 3 IVF's for our lifeime I'm worried about it not working in 3. I really am trying to be positive but I just feel like there is constantly so much I have to worry about.

Yeah, I'm actually kinda glad to be off meds for a month.

Thank you all for the welcome!
I have a question~ Usually, my cycles are pretty short, around 24-25 days, so I usually o on/around the 10th day. My hubby and I did take a break for awhile trying as the first unsuccesful IUI was pretty heartbreaking, so I havent been tracking it as well. Over the past two months, I've been getting extremely healthy, not that I wasn't before, but really just making sure what I eat is going to be as healthy as it can in order to support hopefully a pregnancy. This month, it seems like I am never going to O- Currently I'm on CD 12, do you think that maybe due to changes in my diet I have maybe elongated my cycle ( Which I think could be a good thing, as my lil eggies have always been on the small side) and I should O in the next couple of days?

Haj- sounds like the RE is doing a great job looking in to everything! IVF will work for you!!

AFM, I started taking the progesterone last night like my dr said to but then I started spotting right before bed. I don't know if this is AF or not, because I don't normally start off as light as this has been. UGH! I have decided that I will do what the dr recommended and try one more month (it's my birthday month AND St. Patricks Day and I'm more than a little Irish so hopefully I'll have good luck on my side!) and if for any reason it doesn't work then I will take some time off before trying again. That way I can let the acupuncture and supplements do their thing and maybe lose some of the weight I have put on in the past 4 months of being on fertility drugs.

question...i was looking at some IVF stuff online and i saw someone mention they had to take BCP. is that birth control pills i dont really see how that makes sense.

 

[oneof14]

My friend did a round of IVF and she said that they do that to "calm" your system. Apparently your on it for a week.

i cant take bcp bc i have a high blood clot rate. do you need to take them?

That I dont know, sorry. I am sure if you decide to go through IVF, that is something you can disucss with your RE.

my husbad has very low morphology and the doctor said with my past 2 IUI's I've had a total of 8 follicles and it didnt work and shouldve. so he said he feels that IUI isnt going to work for us.

 

[DaisyQ]

How low is low (morphology)... just curious!

My guess is that your RE thinks that IVF with ICSI might be your best bet?

Also the hormone in BCP that leads to blood clots is, I think, progesterone... You will also be put on progesterone following IVF. If you are at increased risk for blood clots, they may also put you on an anticoagulant (but they will test your blood first, to see how quickly it clots).

He has had 2 SA. With the first one his normal count was 5%, with the most recent one it was 2 %.

I'm not really sure. Last night was just our initial consult so he sent us both for blood work.

Now I'm worrying like crazy I forgot to tell the doctor that last night.

I am complete worry wort as well. I didnt know they tested for that during IUI (I know for the initial SA), I know they test the count. Good luck and I am sure everything will work out for the best! That's what I keep telling myself.
