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

[foquita]

yeah i have 6 cycles of letrozole in total i'm having an unmedicated cycle this one because i am completely heartbroken and also we are both in consultation for redundancy so it would be the wrong time to get pregnant right now. i am (hopefully!) starting a new job in january so if all goes to plan i will start my last three cycles of letrozole in february. if i feel up to it, right now it all feels a bit futile to be honest

sperm count and motility are too low for IUI, we don't qualify. even if we did it would still be a two year waiting list.

 

[Rachel789]

i am sorry you are feeling down

Congrats on the new job though that's exciting!

 

[mrsc81]

Sorry your feeling down Nat, dont give up hope, there are always other options to try. Your appointment will come round before you know it, youve still got the 3 medicated cycles so you might not even need it

Katya - Ive sent you a msg back

 

[mrsc81]

Wheres newmrs ?? We havent heard from you in a while, hope your ok

 

[seabean]

NATALIE!!!!

Hey there lady! Glad to hear you have been ovulating! Congrats on the new job too!


I switched my appointment from Thursday until next Wednesday, because I really want to see the NP that I saw earlier this year - she was soo nice and will be worth the extra week of added anxiety. Plus, I am going to only be like 5 and a half weeks by Thursday, and they want to see me between 6-8. I read online you can't see a whole lot before 6, and I rather go when I can actually see whether something is in there growing or not. Apparently it grows leaps and bounds in even just a week!

Nat - I'm so sorry you are feeling down. If there was ever anyone deserving of some good luck, it would be you. I hope that the new job gives you a distraction and by the time you start again in February maybe all the supplements Davie is taking will have gotten his count up. I'll be thinking about you.

Hi Nat! So good to see you and I agree, it's time for some good luck to come your way, hon. You're the one who brought us all together and I know you've been doing all you can to conceive for so long. It's definitely your turn And I hope and pray it happens soon for you

 

[NewMrs2011]

Wheres newmrs ?? We havent heard from you in a while, hope your ok

Sorry, I have been around just not been posting much. Having a bit of a tough time with everything at the moment.

Thanks for thinking of me though

 

[mrsc81]

Hope things improve

Big hugs, NewMrs

Hi girls, hope you're all doing well

Well, I had bloodwork done when I went for my blood pressure check last week and they said today that it looks like my hormones are imbalanced and that I probably do have PCOS. No ultrasound or anything, just going by hormone levels. My blood sugar level was also very slightly elevated and she said it might be like that due to the PCOS as well. It's not in the diabetic range or anything, though, so that's good Anyway, the doctor went ahead and prescribed Metformin and I should have it in a few days. I'm really hoping it will help regulate my cycles and help me ovulate more often...she said it would maybe even help with losing a few poundsThe doctor will be gone for 4 weeks, but the nurse said after she comes back I'm supposed to set up an appointment to talk more about the PCOS with her. She might even prescribe Clomid for me at that point...I'm not sure. But at least things are moving forward a bit and I wanted to share

 

[bnporter81]

Oh, and I also bought some of that Pregnacare Conception that a few of you were talking about. It seemed to have great reviews as well. I hope it helps!

 

[mrsc81]

Thats great news Bethany!

 

[seabean]

Bethany - it's so good to hear that you and your Dr. are coming up with a plan, both for your overall health and to get you another little bean it sounds like it's all the right track and I hope you get your BFP in no time!

 

[cmwilson]

NewMrs - I'm sorry you are feeling down. If you ever need to rant, we're here for you.

Bethany - That's wonderful news about the new plan. Sorry about the possible PCOS but now that you know the doctors can better help you get another Bethany bean!

 

[seabean]

Wheres newmrs ?? We havent heard from you in a while, hope your ok

Sorry, I have been around just not been posting much. Having a bit of a tough time with everything at the moment.

Thanks for thinking of me though

 

[rmsh1]

Great news Bethany, on finally getting some proper help. I hope the metformin works for you and your BFP is just around the corner!

 

[Diddums]

Good news on the metformin Bethany. Hopefully that will help you

I've been so ill over the weekend. Felt like death warmed up. Feeling a bit better now but had a fever over the last few days. Think it's passing now luckily.

I'm on day 3 of soy so will be when/if I ovulate this cycle. Fingers crossed

 

[raventtc]

Hi :wave: Ladies sorry I was gone for a bit, I have been extra busy and not trying to think about ttc for a bit. I was even gonna stop charting this month, but I tempd this am, and went on FF for the first time in a bit too, and of course I was picked for the free member trial for a few days...so of course I enter data into it -- ahhh oh well. I am waiting for the ok from the insurance company to make the appointment and hope to get in sometime this month.

Welp I sure missed you ladies hope everyone is doing good!

 

[seabean]

Katya - I hope the soy works for you!!

Raven - I really hope this is your month! At least your cycles are pretty regular, where if you did want to take a month off of temping you could estimate your ovulation pretty well now

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We are going to get our Christmas tree tonight hopefully I love this time of year!

 

[Rachel789]

Dee- is your appt tomorrow? How far along will you be when you go? Will you get a scan?

Katya- good luck with the soy, I hope it brings you your bfp!

Bethany- that is really good news about the metformin. I really hope it results in a bfp for you!

Raven- I hope you are able to get your appt soon and they can get to the bottom of why you haven't gotten your bfp

Newmrs- I hope you are doing ok. When is your next appt?

I hope all of you preggo ladies are feeling well

All is well here...I just got back from going away for a long weekend for a good friends wedding back in my hometown in Michigan. It was great seeing my family and friends for a few days! We will hopefully find out the gender on Thursday if the baby cooperates, I am so excited! I really feel like it will be a boy and while I will of course be happy with either gender I think I am leaning slightly towards wanting a boy for our first I have been feeling what I am pretty sure are kicks daily now it is an amazing feeling and I can't wait until there is no mistaking what I am feeling!
