Long term TTC buddy wanted!!~UPDATED~Most of us did it!! ~

[obe]

Yes I think I will ask the question when I go back for my scan. Im not going to worry about it, work will just have to wait, this is far more important!!!
Ive started my journal now so it should help me.
Hows everyone else doing then?
xx

 

[grneyednurse]

Well, where is your journal Obe?

As for me? We have our follow up with the FS on my hubby's MRI of his pituitary and to see how the injections are going (fine) so hopefully all is well. i am going to ask the doc to get labs done on myself just to ensure things are still good with me as now that hubby is normalizing I don't want to learn the hard way i have any problems! I have had a vag ultrasound which showed all is as well as can be a couple months ago...don't know if I mentioned that. Anyhow, have a lovely day all!

 

[obe]

Good luck Grneyednurse, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for your fs follow up! Do you have to pay for your tests?
My journals kicking about somewhere on the LTTTC Journal section, its prob at the bottom!
Hope everyone else is ok?

Hey Sparkle! A long deserved break by the sounds of it! Bet you cant wait, have you anything planned?
xx

 

[sparkle83]

not at all... just stay home, sleep, and see DH. Though I'm thinking of making a drs appt tomorrow to see if I can get vouchers for slimming world on the NHS

 

[grneyednurse]

I posted a long post the other day, but BNB crashed and it got lost. Anyhow, scan was normal for hubby and I asked for bloods on myself just to make sure all is well. Ovulated a couple days ago and so hope hubby had enough sperm those days, but doubt it. How is everyone? How much do you have to lose sparkle?

 

[sparkle83]

I need to lose another 24.5 lbs to be able to do IUI again.

 

[grneyednurse]

SO you have one of those docs that is so strict with weight? Grrr I hate them!

I think the whole statistic thing on overweight women is skewed truly! They are generalizing the fact that overweight people have health problems more than normal weight people and therefore MUST have more issues with fertility/pregnancy. If they took a group of overweight healthy women (meaning no major health issues except them being overweight) the studies on obesity and fertility/pregnancy would be far less dramatic I am sure!

I don't think doctors should make anyone going through infertility also have to worry about weight when time is usually of the essence! My doc is the opposite and just wants to help EVERYONE...thank god. Too bad I don't have the money!

 

[obe]

Hey ladies, hows your weekend going?
I didnt know you could get slimming world vouchers, thats good! A few of my work mates are doing slimming world and lost quite a bit.
Ive just over a week to go (if AF isnt late) until I get started, in a strange way im looking forward to it! I just had my friend round with her two kids, 2 & 4 yrs old. My living room looks like a bombs hit it! I dont think my house is very child friendly!
Ive got my cousins wedding next saturday so im looking forward to that.
Hows everyone else?
xx

 

[sparkle83]

I know what ya mean about not child frendly! when my niece comes over, I spend all my time watching her stick her fingers in games consoles, pullng things over etc!

Yup, some PCTs do it (like IVF really ) and some don't. I have to wait til monday to find out. I know full well that my weght being lower will make a huge difference to getting and staying pregnant, but I just feel sometimes that food is my only real solace...

With me, I dont think they think time _is_ of the essence, I'm only 26 now. On the plus side, after 10 years at this, I'm damn glad I started at 16, not 25!

grneyednurse~ what tests are you having?
obe~ it's coming nice and quick now. Is your DH excited too?

 

[obe]

He's very nervous about it I think, tbh I think hes more worried about how Im going to feel if this doesnt work!!
I hear the doctors say that alot 'your young, youve got time on your side' but it doent make me feel any better!
So what do they do with the IVF?
xx

 

[sparkle83]

tbh, I've not done it yet, so have no personal experience. to the best of my knowledge, give you injectble drugs, monitor progesss, get you in for what is essentially a laparoscopy, collect the eggs, inject them with a sperm from DH, watch them grow a few days, pick the best, and then put them back in with a catheter through the cervix. then you wait

I've just has a visit from my sister in law who is havng a huge clearout. We've just inherited aone year old Silver Cross 3d with the carrycot lner, rain cover, all the footmuffs etc plus the car seat to go with it! it cost them £500 brand new :O

 

[obe]

OMG wow thats fantastic, I love those prams and everyone is after them at the mo arnt they.
How many attemps do you get with this then sparkle?
xx

 

[sparkle83]

I had a good old play with it yesterday, DH even helped, but I think it started to upset him a bt so he went back to the pc, bless him. Werdly, I've only ever gotten pregnant if there's been a pram in the house at the time! I think we may also inherit a ton of other things in the next few days as they continue the sorting!

We should get 4 iuis, plus 1 ivf for free, though we know from experience that all we actually need is me to ovulate grrrr

 

[grneyednurse]

If only huh sparkle? If only my hubby had enough sperm! If only...geesh. I requested the typical labs for myself such as prolactin, thyroid, E2, progesterone, FSH. I need to take my progesterone test on a workday! Grrrr that should be fun! Wonder if I can send it from work since we use the same laboratory!....going to be tough!
