mid term ttc!

Hey ladies
Gyno appointment went ok, got 3months supply of clomid 50mg with cd21 blood tests if no ovulation need to ring gyno who may up the mg..

SA sperm results werent so great, so we need repeat them as well before i go back for my follow up appointment in 3months!!

Hoping we dont need to go back and get that BFP but my PMA is slight fading away!!
I just hope the clomid helps with my cycles as cd65 was my last one and i real dont think i wanna wait that long EVER again!!

Only problem is gotta wait to start clomid next cycle so might be in for long wait as on cd9 and missed it by few days, but in mean time gives OH good chance for the new wellman conception pills to kick in!!
Gyno mentioned if SA still lower than average then we might have to be referred to fertility specialist, which is worrying as that mean the whole "fertility problems" and more treatment needed doesnt it??

How is everyone else?
Skittles, i know wot you mean re the whole PMA, mine went along time ago
Anyone know some good ways to improve SA other than extra vitims and cut smoking and beer etc??

Skittle i had the HSG done about 4 weeks ago, it was all clear for me and it hurt a little, i had to have this done before gyno would give me and clomid.. Tubes were all clear, which is good thing, but just like u i was really worrying..Just dont read to much into things on the net as a few ladies on BnB really put the shocks in me and it turned out fine so please keep positive thinking

Stay away from hot tubs, wear loose undies, no laptops on his lap. Cut back or out caffeine, exercise regularly... over health is really the key. However if his low counts are due to genetic or another underlying condition these tricks likely won't help. You may end up doing IUI, but its no big deal and not THAT expensive if you have to pay for it.

Dont think its due to health think its more due to bad habits if i am honest.. count is great its just motility a bit on the low side, however purchased some new wellman conception tablets and cutting him down and trying him to stop smoking hoping that really helps!!

He is pretty healthy if im honest not over weight or under weight only problem i think is the actual smoking.. oh and stoppin the hot baths cause thats prob me to blame!

[Kelly9]

yes no hot tubs! also have him take zinc.

 

[beauty]

Got him on the new wellman conception tablets!

[Kelly9]

Let us know if they work!

 

[beauty]

Yeah will do but prob wont know until a while as we not back at gyno until Feb and dont think they send us the details unless we cud ask them to forward onto the doctor etc..

[skittles]

Not much too report ladies...on 5/6 dpo I think but who knows

Am just counting down days till next FS appointment where hopefully I will have the transvaginal scan and get referred for the HSG.

Beauty- thanks for your words of encouragement about the procedure...a few months I was dreading it but now I am desperate to get it done..think my tubes are probably blocked

Beauty- good luck with the wellman tablets

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Kelly9]

I hope your apt goes well skittles. I have my next apt on the 17th for the couples phyc consult.

 

[beauty]

Please dont think your tubes are blocked huni, i thought the same cause of some of the posts a lady had written in LTTC section saying they prob are blocked, how shocked i was i simply said i will wait for the specialist to confirm thats the case..

They normally tell you results there, so please dont worry.. I have been given 3 months of clomid @ 50mg and if no ovulation need to chase gyno and ask to up the dosage..

Then go back to gyno in Feb and if no BFP then we being referred to the fertility specialist which is quite scary!!

I am wishing and praying i dont need to go back in Feb and we get that BFP but at the moment i am poldding along waiting to start the clomid as could be in for long wait due to pcos and irregular cycles!!

How is everyone else? Nearly Christmas so something to look forward too ladies

Well I'm out this month. I kind of knew that I would be because DH and I didn't have many opportunities for BDing. This month I've been back on the B Vits which seem to have lengthened my cycle (and LP) by a day which is good, but which also messed with my mind when I didn't get my usual spotting from CD23. Needless to say that even though my rational mind knew it was probably because of the B Vits, the crazy TTC lady in me was hoping that it was some sort of miracle. It wasn't to be and now AF is making her presence felt. I'm feeling very uncomfortable.

That's my chances gone for the rest of 2009 as DH is working away from home until mid Jan. He's back for the odd day but not at the right time. To be honest I'm feeling really down about it all but that's mainly hormones and lack of sleep!

I need to find some PMA!

 

[beauty]

Oh babes i think we need alot of PMA here at the moment, it isnt getting any easier and 2009 is coming to a close and its making me feel even more low than ever as nothing is happening!!

I think i may do a break again from bnb i do miss you ladies but with xmas approaching and stuff maybe some time off might make me feel alot more stable in myself..

Only my pma has slighty left the building and i am actually getting to the point where i feel so low in ttc that i feel like im plodding along in limbo land.. i know you ladies proberley feel the same but its now got to the point after 16 months i kind of feels im trying the impossible, even tho i know im not.. (i do have some faith left)

Just not as easier as i thought it wud be after my relaxing holiday, it seems more harder to cope with..

[Kelly9]

beauty do you temp?

I am on cycle 16 to and it seems like it's never going to stop and that number will keep going up and up. I have no PMA left at least not till we get the call for ICSI I am still on the waiting list.

Oh and allison I quit my job so now you have one and I don't oh and I saw a commercial for dicks! hahaha though of you when I saw it.

 

[beauty]

Nope dont temp, to be honest no point with my long cycles as im not sure i even ovulate or if i do not often..

Going to take the clomid first cycle and not temp but i might temp with the second cycle of clomid and see if it shows ovulation.

I have major cramps and stuff going on today, bearing in mind tho its about cd13 and i know its not ovulation (way to early for me)

[Kelly9]

Beauty temping would tell you for sure if you do ov. I would recommend temping with your first cycle that way by the second you know what to expect. Took me a couple of months to beable to understand my chart and such

 

[beauty]

I know but my cycles have been so long like cd65 that temping would just make me more obsessed with ttc that i am already, i cant even use opks so i didnt wanna go down temp route!!

I am however going to try opks with my clomid i bought a digital ovulation test kit by clear blue so that should be with me soon ready to use on my clomid cycle!!

[Kelly9]

Well I hope it works for you! I will give up temping and charting once we get accepted for treatment and I only have enough opks left for next month then I am out and am not buying more. I know when I O within a day or two so will just go with temping till we start ICSI meds. I can't wait to be done with it, to take a little break from waking up early every day.

 

[skittles]

Hi girls you will never guess what........I am 14dpo(I think) and I took a Predictor test this morning as my temp was still high and got a !!

No af all day so went and brought a cheapie brand and guess what I got tonight....Can't quite believe it I was trembling when I saw the line appear.


Am so stunned after 15 cycles we have finally done...had next FS appointment booked for next week so for all you I pray you have the same thing happen to you.

Am still in shock and of course now praying I've got a sticky one! Please send as much sticky you can!

Off 2 go and try and pee on a digital one now....my hubby won't quite believe it yet

to everyone....you have all been brillant!
