Merry Christmas Lau, I hope you have a good time up north!

Any news Curly? Hear, how you going?

I'm fine - haven't noticed any potential symptoms this month, so not holding my breath. Still feeling better now that we actually have a plan in place - try to March, if nothing then IUI, and then if still nothing, the IVF once our year waiting list is up in December....

I have very good feelings about 2013 for us all ladies...a new year, a new life. Merry Christmas to us all, I think it'll be our last one childless! :dust::dust::dust:
 
Hi! Just heard back from the doctor's my levels more than doubled, the nurse told me it was perfect, and I go on January 2 for an ultrasound. I still can't believe it. And other than these on and off symptoms I really don't feel any different which makes me nervous but she said it was ok. I have already made it further than any of my other pregnancies so I am taking that as a good sign.

Yesterday, I was looking in the some of the pregnancy forums and the ladies in there were scared to have a pap smear! It just made me think how strong we are and that we should give ourselves so much more credit than we do. It seems that in life there are people that are given challenges because they are strong enough to face them. I know we all have been through alot, and maybe we will still have to go through alot - but I know it will work out.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!!
 
Oh and I am in no way putting down the other ladies, I just think of all the crazy tests that we have had to have, and I would do like 30 pap smears if it meant I didn't have to have another lap!

Hey girls!I am new here but not so new in the TTC road. A little bit about myself: My husband and I have been TTC for almost 3 years. Besides my husband`s low sperm count and motility, I most probably have endometriosis. A year ago I did HSG and it showed that my right tube is open, but my left one may not be open, or may be it was a spasm that I got during the procedure, because of the severe pain I was in. I made the doc to stop the procedure after 10min. In June I was scheduled for a laparoscopy. Ever since I got my first peroid I have been always in pain. My first two days are so bad that sometimes I end up in the ER. I also have some very strange pain when I get my period.Sorry for the TMI, but the first two days of my period I get this sharp, knife stubbing pain in my rectum. The pain is excrutiating and very scary. So in June I was supposed to have my Lap, but poor me got soooooo scared. Girls, I totally freacked out.I literally was in the operating room, when my doc. came and told me to go home, because she did not to operate on me anymore. I had a panic attack. So as a compromise she told me that if the reason for my surgery is not the pain, but getting pregnant we should try something less invasive such as IUI and then if we are still not pregnant to come back in few months and do the lap. So My husband and I had tried two cycles IUI and two Clomid. Well as you can guess neither one worked and here I am waiting for my lap on Monday the 17 of Dec. I am very scared. At the beginning I was very scared about being put under anestesia, not that I might not wake up, but that moment when you realize that somebody will cut you while you are sleeping. My new obsession is the pain after the procedure, more specifically my rectal pain from the gas injected in my belly. Girls I need your help. I need lap buddies. Oh yeah and one more thing- I think I will get my period either the day of my lap or a day before, so I still don't know if the doc will proceed with it. Still waiting for a phone call from the hospital. Sorry for the long intro. I truly wish BFP to all of you.

Hi Sikis, and welcome to our forum :flower: How did your lap go? Were you able to proceed with it? I remember feeling very scared before going into mine, but we've all been there, and we've all pulled through just fine. If you're able to get some reason for why you're not able to conceive, it will make you feel just so much better. My lap didn't end up removing anything, so felt really annoyed after it. After talking to the doc a couple of weeks ago though, he explained that removing the fibroids on the outside of my uterus would have caused more scar tissue and possibly more problems than they were. So I really hope you get a good explanation!

AF is due tomorrow or Christmas Day for me - I'm hoping that maybe this year I get the best present possible ad a BFP comes my way. I'm not feeling particularly confident though - there have been no symptoms of any kind this month, but hey - who knows?!

Curly, how's things going? Lau, Hear, anything your side? If I don't get back on beforehand, I wish you all the very best of Christmasses, and may ALL our wishes come true in 2013. I feel good things are going to come to us all from 2013....lets sprinkle lots of baby dust to decorate the new year! :dust::dust::dust::dust:
 
Hey Wishforbub. Thank you for responding to my post, but unfortunately my lap is going to be tomorrow. I am so scared and dont know what to expect. I need somebody with experience in lap surgery to give me a little more confidence, so I do not give up tomorrow, like I did in June. Please girls help me with advice, I am panicing.

Hey Sikis, please don't panic. You are so brave to have gotten this far, I'm absolutely sure you'll be fine for tomorrow. The surgery will be over before you know it. Take some peppermints with you to suck on after he surgery, and have some peppermint tea at home. The peppermint really helps - during the surgery they fill your stomach with carbon dioxide to help move the other organs out of the way so they can see what they're doing. They'll get rid of most of it, but because of the way our bodies work, some might get trapped under your rib cage or up in your shoulder. It might feel like a stitch for a couple of days afterwards, but the peppermints and peppermint tea really help.

They will probably provide you with some co-codamol and/or ibuprofen to help with the discomfort, and maybe some antibiotics to prevent infection. They should give you dissolvable stitches, which will come off themselves after a couple of weeks. You need to keep them dry for the first day or so, but after that you can shower as normal, just be gentle. If you or DH can find some hypo-allergenic body wash, that'll help to prevent any irritation.

I hope I haven't provided TMI, and that I haven't scared you any further. We've all been where you're at now, and made it through just fine. I promise that you'll make it through, DH will be there to help support and comfort you, and we'll all be anxious to hear the results once you're back on the computer. Chin up Sikis! You can do it! :hugs:
 
Wishinforbub, Thank you for the support. I know I should be strong, but I have never had any similar procedures and now i am freaking out. The only thing that I pray for is to be strong enough tomorrow and dont give up. Once I get to change into the hospital gown and start getting ready for the surgery I know I will be fine. Girls please pray for me.
Wishinforbub how are you? How many weeks post opp are you? Do you feel any pain, anything different than before? have you BD since the surgery? I hope you get your BFP soon!:hugs:

Hey Sikis, don't worry. I'd never had anything similar done before mine either but it was fine. I had mine at the end of October, AF started about 3 days afterwards, and me and DH were back BDing the week after that. AF was a bit lighter but went a day or so longer. I didn't have any significant post-op pain, just slight discomfort for a few days, and avoided the gym until my stitches came out.

I'll be thinking of you today...just think how amazing it will be to start the new year afresh with this little op out of the way! Good luck girl x
 
Siks I too was totally freaked out it was my first ever surgery but when its done and over with you will be soooo glad you did it! You are going to be just fine trust me!
 
Hey ladies, i am back form the hospital. It was a very long day and I am a little tired, but I am totally fine. Everything went well and I will give you more details tomorrow. Thank you for the support, prayers and the kind words.:hugs:

Well done Sikis! Tell us more when you're up to it...

Girls, I wish you all the very merriest of Christmases, and that Santa will bring us all that BFP we wish for the most! I hope you all have a wonderful day with the ones you love :xmas9:
 
Hi ladies, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families. I was doing really well and was a little bit excited up until about 3pm when AF showed her late ugly face. I was so hopeful that we were going to get the most amazing Christmas present, but alas it was not to be. Felt rather despondent for the rest of the day and had a good cry this morning. Didn't help that my Dad excitedly announced to me that my cousins back in Australia are pregnant with their second child. Although he knows how long we've been trying and how much of a struggle it is, he's just not particularly diplomatic. It hurt, especially as Dad then passed the phone to said cousin and I had to sound happy for them....

So anyway, I gotta pull my chin back up and hope against hope that the new year will bring us all the luck we need! Take care ladies :hugs:
