long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[Rachel789]

Lil-I never heard of a higher risk for miscarraige during an HSG cycle so I wouldnt let that worry you. I think there are plenty of women who get pregnant on an HSG cycle and don't have issues. He said it has something to do with the irritation of things during that cycle but I don't know how much that really affects things. Actually I am really going to push hard as I can to get medicated next cycle I don't think I can wait until October. Did the saline procedure hurt? It scares me a bit. My friend had the HSG and said it really didnt hurt but she said the saline one was painful.

 

[MommyDream]

Hey Rachel - to be completely honest, both the HSG and Saline Sono hurt me. I was happy to have them both done though, to hear that things were clear down there. The pain only lasts a second though - you can do it! Bring a pad because there may be major leakage after!

I am 4 days from my expected AF and ill start my clomid hopefully wed of Thurs! How is everyone doing?

 

[Diddums]

Hey ladies

Things slowly ticking away with me. Nothing to report. My last bloods showed an LH:fsh ratio of. 1.5 and non osculatory levels of progrsterone. No surprise there. My appointment is tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous but very excited to see what she has to say. I've discussed it with hubby and if the NHS won't help us (high bmi - my gp said yhis wont be an issue but we will see) we will enquire how much a few private cycles of clomid might cost. But if that's the case I'm not leaving the hospital without a provera prescription for a few cycles, at least that give me the option to try soy before we shell out for private.

I think I would still try after an hsg. I've heard that a lot of people get preggers after one and I wouldn't want to miss a chance?

Is it today that Bex (I think) has an ultrasound to check ovaries? Good luck xxx

Beth looks like you may have o'd hope this is it for you! Xx

Seabean hope you see a nice temp rise today or tomorrow xx

Good memory Katya!

I was away from BnB for a few days sorry girlies

I had a doc appointment this morning and am very pleased to tell you I have been referred to an endo, for monitoring my prolactin levels during pregnancy. I have my ultrasound today to check my ovaries and get a sneak peak at what I hope is a healthy little bean.

Rachel, your new RE sounds great! I bet he will get you fixed up in no time

Caroline, good luck with this new set of injectables and femara you are trying.

I wont be disappearing, still here cheering you guys on. All of us are going to get a wee bub to hold

Oh and I got my figure for my progesterone. My blood was taken on 9dpo, and my levels were 55nmol/L, they like it to be above 30, so that is good!

No SA results yet!!! Doctor is going to chase it up as they should have been in by now

 

[foquita]

hello my lovelies I haven't been on for a few days, just catching up

still can't believe we have had three BFPs in such quick succession after a long drought!

what time is your appointment at katya? massive good luck, it is really nerve wracking but whatever happens will be a step forward fingers crossed they will give you clomid! I know that the private clinic here the price of a medicated IUI is cheaper than a cycle of ovulation induction so you could maybe even look into IUI? if you're ready for that of course

bethany I'm so pleased you've ovulated! it definitely will add a sweet ending to a long drawn out cycle I haven't started BCP because the fertility specialist said It was a stupid idea I'll just do it off my own back in a few months then I think I'm CD26 but I haven't really been paying attention, just counting down to 2014 when I can have ICSI

rach your new doctor sounds amazing October seems ages away but if you think how fast this year has gone already I'm sure it'll be October in no time and it's really great that he's looking into the reasons why instead of just throwing drugs at you, it means you'll get your bfp faster even if you're starting the drugs later iykwim hope you're ok

caroline that price is insane! I would have fainted are you only doing one combo cycle? will you be doing IUI again?

dee I'm so pleased you've ovulated again, i would love to have a word with your ovaries to find out what went off for those months!! it's amazing that they're working again I'm just going for a nosy at your chart now, it's on another page. I don't know if you're up yet though to have updated?

raven, I'm so sorry it's been so long have you got a plan of action for this cycle? you seem to have nice regular ones now which is a definite positive, I don't think it'll be long before you get your bfp

bex I'm really pleased that you got referred! did you have to push for it or was the doctor actually helpful? the NHS make me grr, I hope you're not waiting long to see the endo. looking forward to hearing your scan update

lil how are you? has it sunk in yet that you're pregnant?!

louise, how are you feeling? apart from ecstatic of course

HAPPY CROSSHAIRS DEE

 

[mrsc81]

Feeling very today, about to go to my midwife appt in a minute.

 

[foquita]

hope you feel better later

 

[Rachel789]

Louise-Good luck at your appt!

Bex-Good luck at yours as well. Glad to hear you got the referral

Lil-Thanks for being honest. I will just have to do the tests and toughen up and know it is only temporary pain and in the long run it is a good thing.

Katya-Good luck at your appt tomorrow, I hope they give you clomid! Even if my dr. doesnt want to give me meds on my HSG cycle I will still try but who knows if I will even O. This dr. wants me to give it 35 days from now on and if no AF take a pregnancy test then if it is BFN he wrote me a prescription with refills for progesterone.

JBK-Good luck with the clomid

Dee-Thats a nice temp rise today! congrats it seems your body finally figured it out

Bethany- It is great that you finally O'ed, how exciting!!!

Caroline-How many more days of progesterone do you have? I am looking forward to hearing how femara and injections work for you since I will be doing femara my first medicated cycle, now sure about the injections though but he said for sure femara and the hcg trigger shot.

Nat-Are you going to do soy again or just waiting to get clomid or femara? Are you considering doing a second SA? I hear results can vary I would def get another one done if I were you in a couple months. I wouldnt mind waiting until October if I knew I would O by a reasonable time. I hate going back to the unknown, it is so frustrating especially since I have been used to finally having normal cycles for a few months. If I have to wait until October I will try my best to be patient but I am going to push for meds next cycle.

Nothing new here to report just waiting waiting and waiting. I am looking forward to hearing my test results but also I am nervous!

 

[foquita]

I won't take soy again, I'm just going to wait until I get clomid/femara my appointment is on the 22nd davie went to the doctor on tuesday to say he was concerned about his SA and the doctor said he has to request for the report from ACU and we've to go together to my doctor in a few weeks and speak to her about it everything takes fucking forever and they're just constantly palming us off on other people! I'm thinking about just doing a private SA to be honest, even though it costs £115.

 

[Diddums]

Nat can't believe your having that many problems. Hubby took his sample in and a week later we had the results. The dr was really nice and said if the results were iffy we could have it repeated two months later. Luckily that wasn't necessary! Xxx

 

[Rachel789]

Yea I was gonna say it might just be worth it to pay for a private one. We have to pay out of pocket but its not all that expensive. That is great that your next appt is coming up soon, can't wait to hear about it!

Is Davie trying any supplements to help the ? I have heard brazil nuts is one of many things that can be helpful. I read this on a website:

"Brazil nuts contain high amounts of the nutrient selenium which, according to a 2001 study in the "Journal of Andrology," is essential in development of normal sperm and in increasing sperm motility."

Actually Bethany was the first one to tell me about Brazil nuts, they are supposed to help thicken the lining as well.

 

[foquita]

I know, it's the area I live I think for a start they put hardly any money into fertility and also I have the added bonus (lol ) of having a really shit health centre, I live in a poor area and really I think they just have too many patients or something. there's nothing I can do about it either because there's no other doctor I can go to as far as I know!

it's just so much waiting, I waited 5-6 months for the appointment with ACU, now I have to wait for 6 weeks for my AMH results, 'a few' weeks to even get the results of the SA at the GP, and two years for one shot at ICSI. wooohoooo I'm seriously frustrated right now, I don't know if I've ever been so miserable before

 

[foquita]

I did loads of research (google ) and he's taking wellman conception (that's the big brand of male fertility vitamin here and it has all the vits and minerals like selenium and zinc plus maca, ginseng and pine something), grapeseed extract, bee pollen, cod liver oil and 1000mg vitamin C so I'm actually quite optimistic that his will improve

also I think I might have ovulated but I have no way to prove it really

 

[seabean]

Nat - Sorry the health care system in your area is such a pain the ass! I would be frustrated too!

Rachel - good luck waiting for your test results! I hope they come back either ok or as an easy fix

Well I'm not sure why my ovaries took a 7-month break, but boy am I glad to have them back! It seems crazy that such an early MC at like 5/6 weeks would cause such long-term problems, but that's really the only thing that I can pinpoint! If this keeps up, then I have a 150mg clomid rx sitting in my cupboard up for grabs!

Hubby and I are going camping this weekend. I can't wait!

PS - Did anyone else notice the big Bicardi Rum ad on this site? Alcohol ads on a pregnancy board? Really??

 

[seabean]

Wait, Nat, you think you O'd?!?!? When? Why do you think so? Are you possibly in the TWW with Bethany and I?!?! That would be incredible!

Bethany, we are both 4DPO - what are the odds!

 

[seabean]

Oh wait, I think I'm 3 DPO - oops.

 

[foquita]

everything just takes so much effort

dee the ads depend on what you search online I think, they're based on your online activity mine are always for clothes and IVF

good old ovaries, give them a wee thanks can you officially stop now?

 

[foquita]

on CD17 and 18 I had LOADS of EWCM and dull crampy pains like I had with my first ovulatory cycle, I did an OPK each day though and both were negative so I just forgot about it. now I'm really feeling VERY PMT like I did in all my 2WWs and I'm wondering if I actually did O! I've only had that amount of EWCM in ovulatory cycles, and it was the same time as I ovulated the first two cycles.... I wish I could know I'll wait and see if AF comes in the next few days, I would be 8DPO today if I'm right
