mid term ttc!

[beauty]

I got given two months of clomid thats it, as my gyno wont provide more until a HSG scan is provided.. so i took my first round of clomid this cycle so waiting to see if anything happens.. But there not givin me any tracking etc as she only gave me that to keep my hush cause i was goin on in the appointment how long i have to wait for the HSG scan!!
Well i hope all goes ok for u at the doctors, u have regular cycles tho dont you? I think u done right to give it a year anyway huni, as sometimes it can take that to get pregnant even longer sometimes without anything being wrong!
xx

 

[bobobaby]

Yeah for the most part I have regular cycles. I am usually able to pinpoint when I O with my charts and I get positive OPK's around that time as well. I'm kind of worried it may be my DH's . Getting nervous about it. Well at least you are on Clomid while your waiting for the scan, that way you feel like your at least doing something, and it just might work!!

 

[beauty]

I hope it works huni, i lost faith in hospital after they lost my blood tests and OH SA test which we both got to repeat before October..

Just find it crap with no knowing when i O, hope i the clomid works so i dont need a HSG scan as been told there not very nice..

Good luck for Friday huni xx

HSg's are not very nice, they hurt so I really hope you don't have to go through with it beauty. And bobo I hope you get all the answers you need at your appointment.

SPeaking of weather... We had a wicked storm last night. Like nothing I Have ever been through, there was a tone of lightening and thunder and chunks of hail the size of grapes. I was worried for my windows and car. DH got stuck outside in the car during the worst of it, he was parked under a tree and seconds after moving it a big branch fell where his car was. I thought it was a tornado and was freaking out inside the house cause I was worried about him. Very overexciting night.

Hi Ladies

Taken a break for a few days as the decided to visit me the day Bizy got her and I didn't want to put a downer on her exciting news. So I am now onto cycle 12.

DH went to the docs on Friday and has to drop a sample of off anyday this week. To say he is not keen is an understandment! As all my bloods have come back fine he is now panicking it is him... I personally still think it is just a matter of time for us as we managed to get pregnant together 7 years ago (not trying then miscarried at 6+2).

Beauty I really feel your pain... I think I was handling much worse a couple of cycles ago than now- strange I know as my desire for a little one is still as strong bordering on obsessive! Hopefully the Clomid will do the trick for you this month

Leila - never thought it would take us a year either esp with regular cycles and no other health issues we are aware of but suppose some of us have to keep "the average time is a year" a real concept

Bobo- well done on making the step to the docs...my DH is the same as yours we would be trying for years if it was up to him! I am scared about having a HSG too but will have to be referred privately before that happens. Gonna give it a couple more cycles then go full steam ahead!

Kelly- i pray you get sidetracked and get so busy with your new course than the hits you when you don't expect it.......way before your IUI

Aussie- glad you got the ball rolling with IVF...fingers crossed you too with hit the jackpot before October

Off to do the and then have a nice long sleep and dream of babies:

Hello ladies ,

how are we all.

beauty - i know how fustrating it can be. its one year for me too TTC.
never in my dream thought it will take us this long and we will be going down IVF path. But fingers crossed for you and hopefully clomid is the magic wand that will do the trick

bobo - how u hun? sorry to hear about the weather. i know you are in 2ww right now. i hope ur appointment on friday go well.

skittles - fingers crossed for u babe, i hope hardest part is over and its upwards and onwards from here on. I excatly know how it feels reaching 1 year mark. things can only get better from here. so just hang in there.

kelly - exciting time coming ahead .. with course starting an aall. As skittles said i hope you get busy in other stuff and u get ur surprise :BFP:.

as for me showed her ugly face yesterday.. she cant be late even for a day just so give me some hope.. hate her with all my heart.
having said that for first time in past 1 year i was not sad to see her.
I was telling her "not long to go before u have to pack ur bags for a long time from my house "..
Im pretty sure TTC has stolen my sanity..... now im talking to .. lol

 

[Kelly9]

I didn't get my positive opk today!!! If I don't get it tomorrow I have no idea when I'll O, I have always gotten my positive eithe orn or before cd17. Maybe i will test again tonight. It was darkish so it will be soon I think. It's just so hard to plan to BD at the right time with low sperm count when you have to hit O day without having sex the day before. Fingers crossed for cd19.

Sorry about witch aussie and skittles, thanks for the kind words. I will have 2 cycles during school being busy and such so who knows.

 

[wishn2Bmom]

Sorry about the absence ladies, i've been so busy!!! DH went to get his SA done today. He said it was a small sample due to anxiety. I hope that doesn't matter!!!

Dont worry it doesnt matter. same thing happened to my Dh.. we ll not really. i think he "missed" the cup.
so the report said :mild reduced volume.

they didnt knew what the real reason was..

How's everyone getting on?

I need to give the GP a call and make an appointment for DH and I so we can talk about our options as we're on cycle 12 now. I know it sounds like such a small thing to get around to doing but I'm finding it really hard to find the time to call during work hours (as I'm working my arse off at work) and finding time when I'm not needed at work or in a meeting is going to be tricksy, especially as my boss is on leave again next week. I should just stop stressing about it and DO IT!

I had my diabetes check up appointment at the hospital yesterday. I go every 6-8 weeks. My blood test results hadn't improved which is annoying. My sugar level results are fine for a 'normal' diabetic, but a bit too high for a TTC diabetic. I've been so busy that I had lapsed with my regular blood tests at home so we've not been able to tweak my medication. I've pledged to be a good girl and do lots of tests before I go back again in 6 weeks.

 

[Kelly9]

well I hope your ttc levels get to what they need to be! Good luck!

When I was working and was to busy I just set up time while I was at work to call otherwise nothing would have gotten done.

Got my positive opk today but it took almost the full 10 mins to show up so I will get another tomorrow as well, I just hope that I Ov tomorrow, we're not Bd'ing tonight so we can save his spermies for O day, so we're putting our eggs into basket cd19! It's so much harder to time sex when you're accounting for low sperm count! sigh

 

[wishn2Bmom]

Good luck Kelly! Make it count, if you know what I mean

 

[Leila Fae]

Go Kelly!

Well I've made a GP appointment for next Monday so DH and I can find out what the process is for SA etc

 

[Kelly9]

Thanks guys! We're getting in our today so here's to another positive opk a lot faster then yesterdays, just got to wait another hour or two to poas cause I work up at lie 1pm! but before you judge me I went to bed at 430 am last night!

 

[skittles]

Go Kelly- catch that egg

Well my man went to give his sample today....funny thing happened apparently he went to go in a disabled toilet to do the business but a priest stepped in his way and said "no this way my son" and pointed to another toilet.....hope he said a prayer for us when he realised what he was about to do! LOL!!

Leila..DH went down to the GP last week and he just wrote out a presciption type document and gave him a container and he was able to go anytime in the week to the local hospital to drop it off. Apparently the results will be back at the GP by Friday..not sure what happens regarding a referral if there are any probs but fingers crossed he has super!

 

[bobobaby]

thats so funny skittles! I don't think my DH could have gone through with it after seeing a priest in there.

 

[bobobaby]

Oh yeah, and best of luck with the and Kelly!!

 

[Kelly9]

Yahoo!!!! Got my super dark pos opk in a matter of seconds today! I'm going at it! I just hope I get my temp rise tomorrow!

Off to paint the bsmt kitchen before the fun begins!

 

[bobobaby]

I was at the bank today and a lady brought her newborn in. She was only 1 day old!! I can't believe some people would bring a newborn into such a germy place. ick!

My appointment is about a day away! I'm getting excited. Do you girls have any tips for me?? I'm taking in my charts and hopefully the Dr. will take me serious. Did you guys have to request for certain tests and things to be done, or did the Dr. take control of the situation and tell you what they would do?? I'm not sure what to expect.

 

[Kelly9]

Is it just your GP you're seeing and not a specialist? A lot of family doctors don't know a whole lot about the fertility side of health so I would ask him/her to give you the forms for a sperm analysis (full work up so counts, morphology and motility, not just the regular run of the mill form for just a sperm count) and for your day 3 and 21 blood tests as well as a referral to an FS so that by the time you get your FS apt you should have some of the tests done and the FS will have something to work with. My family doctor (GP) tried to read our semen test results and ended up being completely wrong so get it first hand from a specialist! Good luck bobo!
