Luteal Phase Defect

[Spockette]

I've still not tested really not brave enough still no af i just keep thinking she will show soon think im going to leave it another few days see what happens.

Aww.....I know how you feel. I never POAS unless I'm late, which never happens. However, give it a couple more days and then maybe test..... What DPO are you now?

Stacer, I was meaning to ask you did the Fertility Specialist recommend you take Coq10? What dosage dd he recommend you take? Reason I ask is because I take it too.

Thanks hon

Sprockette - being late and poas isn't all it's cracked up to be, trust me! lol I'm 2 days late, and losing my mind!!

I've just posted in the Pg test thread for opinions on my tests... no idea if it has colour, but i have a thick line...

That would be pretty awesome if we got 2 BFPs at one time!!

Shells- read your posts on the pg thread, those ladies seem to think you are, so I'm definitely hoping so!! Hang in there, i'm sure this wait is driving you CRAZY!

Spock- I am taking co q-10, 600 mg 2x daily. What about you? What is your doc telling you to take it for? Egg quality as well?
See i'm so confused with the low AMH, does it mean loq egg quantity and quality, or do they just think the quality might be bad because the egg reserve is so low. I've read through a bunch of posts and get mixed answers. i've worked in the medical field and have taken anatomy/physiology so I think logically my guess would make sense but so many women are making it seem like they can't get pregnant with low AMH (which I don't think that is the case, I think you just have low quantity so if it doesn't happen soon, or you don't freeze, you could run out of eggs?). Who knows..

Well I called today to begin scheduling the reaminder of my tests (which only consists of a hysteroscopy and blood work for DH), but they are booked until the middle of April to the end of April to schedule my hysteroscopy. The lady is to call me back on Monday to schedule the procedure. Have any of you ladies had it, do you know anything about it? i'm a baby when it comes to surgical procedures so not looking forward to it...But its so frustrating that i have to wait a month or so to get one procedure done. That means ivf won't happen until May for sure. I'm feeling down, but probably due to my af being here, and i'm sure it has a lot to do with all the news I've been taking in lately.

Hope you ladies have a good weekend...and I"m hoping for some good news on this thread too!

Hi guys

Shells, I bet it's not fun always hoping when AF is late only to be negative all the time. That's why I never touch pregnancy test. I'm a bit like Imm. I'll just wait and wait and do my best to try and forget about it (yeah right!)
I've had a little looksy at your test. I can definitely see a squinter of a line but I'm not sure if there is colour. Definitely wait a couple of more days and test again. Fingers crossed

Stacer, thanks for that. The doc didn't actually recommend I take COq10. I just decided to take some to improve quality anyway . I'm not sure if I have a low Ovarian Reserve but never know. I'm only on 200mg per day so I think I'll start taking more.
Also to answer your question, I always assumed that AMH was low QUANTITY. I don't think the quality has anything to do with it. The specialists have put you on these supplements to increase the quality of any egg to make Egg Extraction more certain. For example they may extract 10 eggs. 5 may be fabulous but the other five may not be so good or they could take out 1 perfect egg but the rest not so good. I just think Low Ovarian Reserve might make conceiving naturally a little harder not so much with IVF. It only takes one egg and one sperm. It's just being able to extract a good amount of quality eggs to give you better odds of achieving a great quality embryo. Also, to allow you to possibly freeze some for any future children.
I haven't had a Hysteroscopy hon, sorry. But there are a few ladies on here and on that website who have.

I think you're under General Anaesthetic so you won't feel anything. A very straightforward procedure. Remember, it just means you're one step closer to having your baby in your arms
Keep us posted

Sorry AF came hon but great news about the B6 vits. Lets hope next month you'll get better news

 

[stacergirl]

Sorry shells!! But yay for the long lp! That's great!!

Spock-thanks for your post. I'm on the same exact page as you do wanted to confirm what I was thinking was right, which it seems it is!! So thanks! I'll take a look at that link. You're so resourceful!
Also yes I'd at least take 200 mg 2x daily, since I'm taking 600mg 2x daily. Can't remember if I told you but I'm taking dhea as well.

I believe dhea does the same as co q-10, he recommended the two together. I take 25 mg of dhea 3x daily. My doc says you have nothing to use taking them. I haven't heard if they're are any side effects for eith, but they're both vitamins so I assume should be fine. I got my dhea at cvs, so you should be able to get it anywhere! Good luck!

Imm, that's fantastic news hon. I am so chuffed for you!! Congratulations!!! Please do not worry about the 'what ifs' (even though it must be quite hard not to). Relax and enjoy the next 9 months......

 

[stacergirl]

Omg imm, congratulations!!!! That's so exciting! Don't stress about the symptoms, everyone is different and it's still very early! Hope the soc appt goes well!!

 

[lmm100]

Thanks girls the doc is sending me for a scan next wk just to be sure all ok fingers crossed for a sticky bean. Hopefully im the start of the luck for us all and your bfps come soon.

 

[stacergirl]

Hi ladies! Looks like this thread is starting to get some bfps! Woohoo! Hoping for more.

I was finally able to schedule my hysterscopy and even though they told me it wouldnt probably happen until mid to late April, scheduled for next Tuesday. Eek! I'm
Excited I don't have to wait but nervous at the same time. But I'm sure it will be fine. I'm on birth control pills now, I assume so I'm not pregnant when they do my procedure?

 

[Spockette]

Imm, that's great news hon Let us know how it goes at the scan and hopefully we'll all see you in First Trimester

Stacer, next Tuesday???! Bloody brilliant. The sooner it's done the sooner everything else can follow. Remember....one step closer Keep us posted hon. Please don't worry about the Hysteroscopy. So many women have it done. Very routine. Xxxxxx

Me? Just waiting for Miss Flo to rear her ugly mug again. Eurrrggghh.....

 

[xxshellsxx]

lmm thats great news about the scan!! so quick! x

Stacergirl - Thats also great news to come so quickly!! Let us know how that goes please x

Sprockette - i hope she doesn't show for 9 months x

I also got my FS appointment through yesterday and i go 2 weeks today So i'm hoping they will add me to a list for HSG or lap and dye! When i rang to chase up the appointment she told me my progesterone level on my monitored cycle was fab.. i know i called my dr and got the result as you didn't bother to ring me She also said 'so you don't need pills' meaning clomid or progesterone... erm... i beg to differ love!

I'm so pissed off today, another forum i use someone has questioned my journey and almost but not quite called me a liar! i'm sooo mad about it and i shouldn't be! i shouldn't let small minded people get to me but with AF and hormones...but i did

I know i shouldn't have a diagnosis of 'unexplained' since i haven't had all the invasive testing done... but FS is dreadful and thats what i've been given, i've saw him write it on my notes in front of me! I had to explain my reasons for not having it done til now.. i don't have to explain myself to anyone but when i was with my ex he had azoospermia (as i now know it's called) and i didn't ovulate regularly... straight on the ICSI waiting list we went! So no need to for these tests to be done as there was no point!.... how dare anyone question what i've been through

Sorry for the rant xx

(Oh and if you happen to on this forum as well and reading this... do one!)
