looking for some support and friends

[fluffystar]

We have been TTC for 2 years. We have mild male factor with low morphology and were reccommended for IUI. Then when we got to the clinic they said IUI was unlikely to help morphology and IVF would be better. We are now waiting for a scan next week to check I have ovulated and then hopefully we start with the IVF!

Its a lot to take in but the ladies on here are all so nice supportive whatever you are going through.

What lube did you get? I once tried zestica which seemed ok.

I know what you mean, it's so frustrating when you feel like you're doing everything right, it must be even stranger for you & others who have already had a successful pregnancy.

Oh deary.. Don't be stressed that much.. Probably you must try to relax and forget the thought that you're doing BD to conceive.. maybe you have to try to enjoy yourselves first and get rid of the emotional and psychological stress you have..

 

[mtngirl]

there's tons of info on here and people seem really willing to share. I just joined, but we're taking a break on trying, and I'm going to work some out of town projects. Yay! I'm going to miss the dog tons though

i appreciate the kind words, i just wish i had a cure for thinking about falling pg. after nearly 3 years of waiting for another it is ALL i can think about. me and dh have a very regular "routine" and it isnt just about trying its about love and passion too xxx

Hanzy, welcome to BnB.

I think it is normal to feel frustrated and upset! We all have ups and downs when going through LTTTC. It is a roller coaster (this is why I am on this site!)!

I hope that you get to start IVF soon.

urrrgh feeling terribly guilty today cos went out last night as feeling really low and got blind drunk and fell off the no smoking wagin, neither of which are helping me in the slightest. why am i so stupid???? il never get my acting like that will i!!!! so aangry with myself xxxx

 

[1hopefull]

Try and not be so hard on yourself sweetie. It happens to all of us. I know I feel the same when I do stuff like that but no one is perfect. Sometimes we just need a break from being TTC perfect.

 

[1hopefull]

PS I love your avatar, your fam is so cute together! What a cutie DS!

 

[hanzy29]

thanks so much hun. yeah i guess we all need a break sometimes but i always regret it the next day heres to our 's xxxx

hello and welcome hanzy
this really is a friendly place - occasionally the ttc forum has a bit of a blip, but the turnaround in there is so high that it doesn't last for long.

But it's always lovely and comfy here in LTTTC ... we're all in the same boat and there's lots of support to be had. I've been trying to conceive for 2 years now, but unlike you my time is running out .... FSH and AMH say I have very low egg reserves, so I guess I'm on the other side of the egg sharing situation to you.
But I just wanted to say, women like me are relying on women like you to join IVF programmes so that there are eggs available for us to share - lets face it, egg donors just doing it for 'altruistic' reasons are pretty thin on the ground.

So, it's fab for you that your egg reserves are looking good, but also fab for another woman like me on the waiting list, that you are prepared to share the eggs that you have

xxx big hugs

 

[hanzy29]

thatsa a really lovely thing for you to say and its women like you that makes me realise that although its a huge step to take its all worth it when i could be giving someone else a child too. i went to a birthday party with my ds today and there were so many pregnant women there and so many mums with 2, 3 children and i was so jealous i had a lump in my throat nearly the whole time. im sorry your own results arent better but dont give up hope huge hugs hun xxxx

 

[urchin]

Oh, i'll not give up hope just yet hon, not while there are women prepared to share

We go to the fertility clinic on Friday (a private one) for tests and counselling and hopefully will be going on their waiting list. Because of my age we're not eligable for NHS funding and the difference in price between paying for our own NHS treatment and the private clinic is only about £500 ..... but the difference in waiting list times is 6 months for private and 3 years for NHS

 

[hanzy29]

im waiting for my letter to tell me the next step and wait for my consultant to get in touch xxx

 

[hanzy29]

iv heard from the clinic today! as amh results so good am being put forward to the london clinic that works with my consultant for the screening tests. if all is well after thaat i can start the treatment s excited!!!! xxx

 

[hanzy29]

[kaye]

do you have to pay for ivf?

 

[hanzy29]

only very minimal costs if you are succesfully eligible to be a sharer xx

 

[1hopefull]

Congrats on the news. Hope you get to start treatment soon!
