Morning girls - hope you are feeling good today. I went to see Take That last night - it was fab, really cheered me up, until people started talking about pregnant people! Then I got sad
Africa - glad to hear that your delay isnt quite so long!
Has anyone got any advice on how DH's drinking affects sperm? He has motility issues and doesnt drink everyday or anything, but when he does, he does!!
It's causing issues, cos I feel like he is killing the swimmers off, but he doesnt seem able/willing to stop.
That makes him sound like an alcoholic -he isnt!! Just when he does drink, he does -every 2 weeks or so.
We are rowing at the moment, am I overreacting - feel like he is reducing our already slim chances of a natural conception.

Am I mental?! xx

Hi ladies just thought I would say a quick hello before I go and tackle the mammoth task of housework

Hope everything is going well for everyone else too

Hi everyone!

Jane22 - I'm not sure how much has an effect on sperm quality. We were told at our last appointment to not drink much and now that we are in a cycle of IVF we have both stopped drinking altogether. My husband is really looking forward to a drink but I'm not missing it at all really. My husband gets annoyed with me when I tell him he can't have baths, or heated seats on in the car or he can't ride his bike for too long because it may harm his swimmers. I just want his sperm quality to be of optimum quality!

Hope everyone else is well. I'm off out on my father in laws speed boat now. My husband and him wakeboard so thats my afternoon planned for me.

I have got my fingers crossed I'll be able to start stimming on Tuesday. The pains I had on Thursday seem to have gone so I'm hoping its a good sign.

hey girlies, how r we all!

ive been researching baby aspirin today! im considering maybe getting some for this round of icsi!!! if the nurse or docs agree ofcourse!! i need to research it abit more tho. Im gunna ask the nurse when i go for my scan next tuesday! my sister is currently 8 months preggo and she takes it as she had a very severe case of presclampsia and was in intensive care!! when having my neice luckily she and my lil neice was ok but it was scary! i was wondering if anyone has taken it on here before?

[Jane22]

Hi everyone - hope Monday hasnt been too painful for you all?!
I went to HC today for my day 2-4 bloods - it was hideous - the nurse got a vein, but said my blood was 'too slow' (?!). She then tried the other arm, had the same problem and in the end called the anaesthetist (in between ECs) to have a go!

She got it out of me, but went really deep, with a massive needle. My arms look terrible!

She said that we might be waiting 4-6 weeks for an appointment now, and that even then we may not start ivf on my next period, as they could be booked up by then!

Little bit depressing, but we shall see!

Hope everyone else is feeling ok? xxx

 

[laura25]
