Thank you!

Yes, this is my 7th round of Clomid. I did 5 cycles before going to the RE, then 2 cycles with just injections, and the last cycle before my lap, I did injections and Clomid. First cycle of it, though, with no endo

How are you feeling?

 

[scerena]

Clomid never worked for me i am hoping it does after the lap... Does it feel any different this cycle after having your lap?

Im ok a little worried that my tube is blocked but what will be will be i suppose... Apart from that i am happy but im sure in a few days i will be scared again lol- it just feels like a long journey and i just want it all over and done with and hopind 2012 gives me a bubba and for you also

Are you being monitored on clomid this cycle?

I had a lap done last month in November. The recovery really was not bad at all. It turned out that I had stage III endo and they were able to remove all of it. We did our first IUI with injectables this month so we were back on very soon after the procedure.

I hope it helps you to get your BFP

Hi bluestorm- I am glad to hear that your recovery was ok and they removed your endo im scared one of my tubes are blocked

IUI how did you find that? I am considering opting for that if im not pregnant halfway through 2012- my fs want to put me back on clomid after the op but add a trigger shot- but that all depends on the result after the op...

Im worried more than scared to be honest.

Thanks for your reply

Hi - I have had two laps done and ovarian drilling - the drilling seemed to take a few months to make any change to my cycles but they did get shorter eventually. I did have a lot of ENDO removed and some scarring removed. I am now on clomid and I ovulate very well.

 

[scerena]

I am very glad to hear you had a good outcome from the op and thanks for the reply!
I have had clomid which hasnt worked very well so i am hoping after it will work better and also for my cycles to become shorter. Im glad your cycles are shorter! In just keeping my fingers crossed for tuesday and hoping for good news x

The IUI was fine, it was super simple. It's more of the monitoring that is a pain if you are on injetables especially. I'm not a morning person so waking up every other day at 5am was not fun. First one did not work out for us as you can see, but hopeing that number 2 will do the trick.

Good idea about the trigger shot, that should really help with the timing of thigs. Good luck

In case this was in reference to my post...the one immediately prior to this...

My ovulation was definitely more intense this month, as was AF. AF wasn't longer...just more intense for a couple of days. Other than that, nothing feels different.

Hopefully the dye unblocks anything that needs to be unblocked! I've heard that it really does work.

I'm being monitored...on day 12.

Like you said, hopefully 2012 brings good things for all of us!

Hi, i am 27 and have been ttc for 2 years.. On Nov 2011 ive undergone with hsg and found out that one of my tube is blocked (right). My gynae had advised me to do d laporoscopy but im so scared n worried about the complication wic might b occured. Ive changed my gynae to search for second opinion..My new gynae advised me to b patient and try clomid 1st. At d same time, im doing accupuncture. However, i got strobing lower back pain..on my right back. Should i proceed wit lap? Why am i having the pain?Is it becoz of the blockage or do i hav endrometriosis? cn anybody help me/

 

[scerena]

Bluestorm- Nor am I a morning person I want to do IUI soo I am scared of injecting myself but I know I would do it if I had too. The monitoring I had on clomid was ridiculous I would have so many visits during the month all of which never had any good news Im sorry to hear the first cycle didnt go great but I will have my fingers crossed for you that this this second cycle goes alot better for you hun and you get that good luck!

Lizzy- Sorry yes that post was for you hun sometimes when I am on my phone I forget to write who I am talking too I hope when you get monitored they give you good news also I really think after having the lap good things need to happen for us all I have read elsewhere that after a lap clomid has a better chance of working so I will be hoping that is the case for us :thumbsup:

BbDust- hun, I had the same thing- one of my tubes was blocked or either spasming during the hsg... So I know just how you're feeling I also tried clomid and nothing happened for me- I am personally having the lap as they can see more of what is going on and try and treat anything whilst they're in there- already know they are doing ovarian drilling on me and a hysteroscopy. It is a scary thought, but I look at it as in- clomid hasnt worked and I have potentially blocked tube- I would like to know 100% what is going on with my body so I can move on with treatment and make sure that I am receiving the right treatment- Also in alot f cases they manage to unblock the tube. As I say its totally up to you in what you decide and I wouldnt be able to tell you what your pain is, but good luck with your decision and please let us know what you decide

Now af is here as of yesterday 2 days before the op! So i am expecting to get there tomorrow and be told to go home... I cannot phone up as rheyre not in the office as it is bank holiday :/ x

 

[Lizzy444]

Ugh, I'm sorry! Hopefully they'll still let you do it! I had my lap on CD4 and they were fine with it...AF was almost done....maybe the same case for you?

 

[scerena]

Im cd3 tomorrow when the op is due so hopefully the same case for me fx'd! Im hoping if i am bleedsing just a little bit that they will do it- i might tell them a porky and say im cd4 when i go in!
How are you?x

 

[Lizzy444]

They told me if I was only bleeding a little, it wouldn't be a problem. Please keep us posted! I'll pray that you're still able to do it!

I'm doing well. On cd11 and going to start opks today (should have started sooner, but I didn't)....I don't trust the plan the doc has for me, as I'm afraid I'll ovulate sooner than they are expecting. Supposed to do a trigger later this week.

 

[scerena]

Ah okay hopefully they will do the same for me...

I would have though they would monitor you in order to do a trigger that sucks! Can you phone up once you get a positive ovulation test?

Scerena Good Luck for tomorrow, it has come round quickly hasn't it, I know you will be scared right now and I know what ever say probably won't help but you will be absolutely fine
BbDust, If there is one piece of advice I could give myself a year ago when I first got offered a Laparoscopy and that would be to trust you Gyno and secondly take what ever is offered to you, as I also really did not want an operation, I also have Acupuncture, reflexology, I had tried everything with no avail. Having this procedure is life changing for the best, For me my outcome was not so great as I can't conceive on my own I have to have Assisted Conception but at least I am not torturing myself every month. And If I had not of had the Lap I would never of found that out and I would of had to wait at least another year before we got referred for IVF. I don't want to scare you as you might be all clear but in my case the HSG showed my right tube was blocked at the top, Luckily as I probably would not of had the Lap, turns out my tubes were not blocked but they had extensive scarring which would of only been discovered by having the procedure. Please think twice before refusing, I am the biggest wimp I know I don't even like taking pain killers so the idea of an operation scared me to death, but it was absolutely fine. Good luck to you it is a big decision to make, and it is your body but I wish I knew 12 months ago what I know now and I wouldn't hesitate. Good Luck xxx

 

[scerena]

Thanks hun
Do you think i would be bad if i lied to the hospital and said i started spotting in the morning? Cannot believe af got me! I wouldnt usually lie to them but i dont want to wait for yet another appointment??? What would you do if you was in my shoes?x

 

[MrsHowley81]

No I lied cos my AF was due the day I had the op and said I was on day 28 of a 30 day cycle but in fact my cycle is 28 days, I don't think it will make too much difference. Good Luck xxx

 

[scerena]

Oh good i dont feel so bad now lol! I will pretend it just statted that morning ill say im Only spotting then if they see im bleeding ill jus say it must of started then lol i really qant this op done and if i have to lie a little to them to try and get it done i will im not worrying much about it but i am nervous x
