Luteal Phase Defect

[xxshellsxx]

Awww stacy thats great news that they got 6 eggs, i've got everything crossed you get some good embys to put back xxx Exciting stuff!! I agree about the testing (but as a poas addict i would lol) it shouldn't make too much of a difference to test a few days before he blood test xx

Maz- good luck catching that eggy! Hope O day is not too far away! xx

I'm 9dpo... still BFN I so wanted to give DH a BFP for fathers days tomorrow... doesn't look like thats going to happen, and that makes me sad No other 'special' days coming up and i would have loved to have given him that on such a special day x

 

[stacergirl]

Awe, sorry Shellz....I know that is hard. But you know what, giving him a BFP period is special enough that there doesn't need to be a special day for it. But I know how awesome it would have been to surprise him on Fathers day. Hopefully this will be the LAST fathers day our dhs will spend without our BFPs though!! But on the other hand, 9 days could be a little early, so don't give up home until AF shows...

spock-good luck!! hope you are bding away.

Well I have 4 fertilized eggs out of 6, which I am perfectly happy with. Last night though, had a slight freak out because I've been doing progesterone injections since Friday but yesterday I dropped the bottle and it broke, so wasn't able to do the injection. I was so upset, dh didn't understand...its just the point of the matter that I got this far and then broke the bottle. ugh. So I called the doctors office and the doctor on call advised me to take the crinone which is a vaginal suppository...then today they called and have a vial of progesterone on loan for me so I went and picked that up. Not really sure what "loan" means though, I only need about 4 more injections so by the time I call my pharmacy and get one shipped to me on Tuesday, I will only need 1 more day of injections. But whatever. I'm just thankful to have some. I think that was one of the cheapest meds I bought so okay with re-buying it if needed. I'm trying to put some plans together with the DH regarding the pregnancy test date. I took the day off but he doesn't think he wants to because we are testing over the weekend. Which I guess would be fine, so then I was trying to go away for the night we were going to test and test there that way if it was a positive we could celebrate, and if it wasn't we could at least be away by the ocean for some reflection time. He said no because were planning a vacation in August for my birthday. ugh, I really need to learn how to persuade these men! LOL

Have a good weekend ladies and best of luck!

Hey girlies

Apologies for missing in action for a few days. I have my young brother in law staying with me as he is graduating next week and also my in laws are coming over for two weeks!! So it's been a bit hectic. Anyway, I have my cuppa tea and catching up

Shells I am so sorry. Please don't feel down about giving the BFP on Father's Day. I agree with Stace, it would be ultra special no matter what day it's given. Having said that, 9 days is still early!! I'm not actually sure if you've mentioned this before in your posts but has your other half had a semen analysis? I know he has children from previous relationship but I think sperm changes a lot with lifestyle so it might be worth him getting checked out. I hope that is not out of order saying that, I'm just sick and tired of disappointments in our lives and I would want to be sure that both of us are good to go
Keep your chin up hon. It will happen

Stace, 4 eggs are brilliant. How many have they recommended they put back in? Sorry to hear you broke the bottle but at least you called the doc and could get something else.
Stace, I know from what I have read and heard from others that IVF is an incredibly emotional journey. I think you are handling this brilliantly (a lot of it on your own) and I think you should be soooooo proud of yourself. You so deserve this child and I know I keep saying this but I wish you and your hubby all the luck in the world. I really do.....
I think a weekend away would be just what you need no matter what the outcome so try and persuade hubby to go........or drug him and stick him in the boot of the car

DISCLAIMER: For all persons reading this thread, the statement above was a joke!!

As for me girls, still just

Also ladies, my in laws will be here soon and I will try and get onto the forum as much as I can but it may be a little difficult. But will definitely check in. Didn't want you to think I was ignoring you.

Hi Imm
Great to hear from you! How you been? Well we're all still TTC! We have all had different procedures done and so far we have all been ok. Stacer is going through IVF at the moment and in fact, they should be 'implanting' the embryos this week.....
Correct me if I'm wrong and I am so sorry if I get this wrong but did you get your BFP whilst on this thread? I could be completely wrong........

 

[lmm100]

I've just been reading all the post it sounds like you've all been busy i saw about the ivf maybe another bfp soon.

Yes that's right im now 18wks with twins a boy and girl can't believe it still got another scan next wk hoping all ok.

That's wonderful news Imm! Many congratulations! Were you taking Clomid or was it completely natural?

You've given me so much hope

 

[lmm100]

No it was all natural i had been taking a few vitamins apart from that it just happened and i no they say when you don't try it happens but for me it did i had been ill with a cold only managed to dtd 3 times the whole month and that was it twins i still can't believe it happened but it did.

Congratulations! I was just reading this thread bc I have a short luteal phase as well. Can I ask what vitamins you were taking?

 

[lmm100]

I took vitamin c 1000mg every other day vitamin e everyday folic acid and vitamin b complex only took a few vitamin b so don't think that made any difference.

 

[stacergirl]

Imm that is awesome!!!! Congratulations!!!

Hi Stace

Been waiting for an update

Have you had the embryos transferred???

Xxxx

 

[stacergirl]

Spock OMg I'm sorry I thought I posted. Had 2 embryos transferred on Monday, so 4 days past transfer. None of the other embryos made it to freeze, so the 2 we transferred we're all we got at this point. Praying everyday they stick! Based on the calendar they should be hatching and beginning to implant today. Praying that happens!! Been tough but trying to stay positive!

How are you Spock?

How are you shells?

Oh hon, please don't apologise! You have lots going on!! This is fantastic news. Two embryos are great and I pray that they both stick.
I can imagine it being so tough but think positively, which is easier said than done, I know.
I'm so pleased for you but we will celebrate more when you get your BFP!!

Shellsy, how you doing? Xxxxx

Hi, can I join? I haven't been formally diagnosed with LPD, but my cycles are anywhere from 21-25 days. I just had an 8 day LP, even on fertility meds, so I'm guessing that what's going on.....

Hi ES 84 and of course you can join.....

Can I just asked what tests you have had done so far? Did they find anything?


Xxx

 

[ESwemba84]

I have done day 3 and day 21 testing......showing low estrogen in the follicular phase, and low progesterone in the luteal phase. FSH is normal.

HSG was normal.

When I had my follicle check and ultrasound on day 14, my lining was thin, at a 7. Although my RE said it was ok.

Vitamin D is low as well.

Also, the RE I saw before my current one said my AMH was 0.16, and told me I would go into menopause in my 30s, but my current RE said that's just not true, and since my FSH is fine, I don't have to worry about premature ovarian failure.

I just had my first cycle on Femara on days 3-7, Ovidrel on CD 14, and progesterone suppositories starting on day 17. AF came after only an 8 day LP (assuming the trigger made me ovulate on day 16ish).

So I'm not even sure what they will do next cycle. At least probably up my dosage of progesterone.

 

[stacergirl]

Hi ES, that's very interesting. My vitamin d was low and I had low amh as well, .18. I won't if either of those contribute to lpd? I had a fsh of 8 I think, not sure what that means nor the day that was taken. But my fs was very concerned with my low amh which is why we moved on to ivf which I'm in the tww for. I'm 30.

 

[ESwemba84]

I'm only 29! That is interesting. My FSH was 7 I think.
