New Year 2012 babies

[Traskey]

Count me in for a 2012 baby. CD3 so there's no possibility of a 2011 bub. Besides, 2012 has a nice even mathematical feel about it

Geh. I hate even numbers That's why 2011 sounded so nice. But I guess beggars can't be choosers

Thanks for the advice - I've been delaying going to the docs but will make an appointment for blood tests I think.

Go go go! I dragged my feet as well... but now am glad I didn't wait longer than I did.

I will definitely make an appointment next week I think - thanks. I've got pregnany really quickly before so naively assumed it would be the same this time (silly girl I am)! ao30 have you heard from schoolteacher I was hoping to see a BFP announcement somewhere?

H girls im here and no BFP!!! AF arrived on monday..........................
So glad I've found you both and this thread (the thread I didnt want to join!!)
I posted in the christmas 2011 thread below is what I said in case you don't get it!

Hi! im back, thank-you so much for keeping me in your converstations I appreciate it so much and I hope that you get this! Well AF got me..........
On the monday, it was early!!!!!!!! (so much for me reading that your LP doenst change!)can't believe it, my temp went way down the first couple of days but I hoped it was just because it was cold in the tent! but no AF came and I was so upset because for some reason we had high hopes this time! The cycle had gone really well, done everything at right time, etc, etc) I cried and cried which upset DH too as he felt helpless and prob blames himself a bit as he had low sperm after a VR.
It basically just runied a whole day of our holiday! We didnt do much and after wasting most of the day Dh got so cross/upset with the whole situation he just sat in the car for an hr looking really down and refused to get out!! So all in all Monday was not a good day!!I was so so gutted and I just don't know how much more I can take of this
(The holiday all in all was really really good though despite the major dampner!) Im sick of other people being/getting pregnant and am very sad for us all that we will have to go into 2012 threads......
Im so sorry to you both for your AF's.........and how ru both? i feel like it's never going to happen for me..................
Sorry this is a depressing post!
I hope you get this...............................
thinking of you both.

CD17 here and no signs of ovulation

Starting to feel a little defeated. Its the second cycle since the ovarian drilling and I guess I'm back to square one with no ovulation for months

Luckily I still have Provera to kickstart my period and then Clomid.

 

[1hopefull]

hi :wave: i would have liked to have a 2010 baby but i 2012 would be WONDERFUL.

schoolteacher-

mariaF- i am so sorry the O drilling hasn't made you O.

how is everyone else?

i am 4 dpo and already going crazy. its our first cycle with help since our ectopic so i have a lot of hope and excitement to be trying again but that also comes with a lot of impatience. i don't like it, wishing for the days to pass quick instead of enjoying them. argh.

 

[jfor3]

schoolteacher - we were hoping not to see you on this thread (in the nicest possible way)!

I'm so sorry you're feeling down, I felt it harder this month as well. I think it was the thought of not just starting yet another new cycle but another new year as well I hope your holiday was good despite the horrible arrival and that your DH is feeling ok. I think it hits them harder than we realise sometimes. x

I'm on cd4 - I hate this bit leading up to o it is almost more torture than the 2ww - I feel like a can't be proactive in any way. Well, onward and upward, chin up and all those things to us all!!!

Hi jfor3! great to here from you! Im on cd6 now....

DH and I are going to the doctors on monday to get the results of his 3rd SA! I have had all the blood tests and he has now had 3 SA's. We have both agreed that we think the doc has held off long enough now and it's time to be referred to an FS. He better had do! i feel the need to push on now with further testing etc..

Im thinking of starting acupunture, if only to feel like im in control of something! I hate that all the testing etc is out of my hands it feels like there is so little we all can do other than take vits, use opks, temp etc etc!!! I need to do something else!!!!
My sister had acupunture after ttc for 4 years and she got pregnant! (she was also on clomid so could just be because of that though).

Has anyone on here had tests done privately?

xx

 

[Rivetkitten]

Well I'm pretty sure I've ovulated. My cm has changed but my breasts aren't as sore as they normally are...I suppose that might be the soy. I don't have a hormone imbalance so ??? My periods were lighter and less painful too. Can't face the migraines though so I won't take them all the months.

Hang on in there Maria, I haven't been ovulating til cd19 on clomid and my friend who also has PCOS has a 7 year old son she conceived on cd27! x

 

[jfor3]

MariaF - I didn't o until cd28 last cycle! Apparently your o can be delayed due to stress etc so hang on in there - easy for me to say - it's agonising waiting for o when it's late!!

Schoolteacher - I'm fairly certain most GPs should be patient led, so if you insist you want to be referred then he should do it. I guess it all depends on the doctor though - can you see another one at your surgery?

 

[schoolteacher]

MariaF-as jfor3 says, ov day can change, unfortunately mine always seems too!!! cd21 last cycle and I have had as late as cd31!

jfor3- my doctor isn't very good but my we are gonna see my DH's doc on monday who is much better so hopefully she will refer us!

 

[MariaF]

Thanks ladies. CD19 and still nothing. I think it has something to do with the fact that my temperature is also high. It's not as high as after ovulation but way too high for the first phase. Google says it could mean oestrogen deficiency and hence my follicles wouldn't grow... Nothing I can do abou it for a few months.

My GP is horrible. I've been begging her for an NHS referral for about 9 months now and been told No every time. All the treatment I've had so far has been private. I hope you have better luck, Schoolteacher!

 

[schoolteacher]

MariaF-how long have you been ttc? just out of curiousity! Your GP sounds like a right cow, lol! what reasons does she give for not referring? Gosh, I really hope my DH's doctor refers us this time!!!! It was november we first went and I have only been given bloods and DH has had 3 SA's (because the first was too low to test!!!!!!)
I don't know if we can afford to go private-well not without a lot of saving!!!! I would be willing to do that though of course. May I ask how you went about going private? What did they do first give you clomid? Hope you don't mind me asking!
Ive started researching fertlity centres just in case. x

Have you been TTC over a year? If so then I'd def ask to see a diff Dr or really put your foot down with her.... you shouldn't be forced to pay to go private when all this treatment is available on NHS xxx

 

[jfor3]

:wave:
How is everyone today? Any luck at the doctors schoolteacher?

 

[schoolteacher]

Hi jfor3

Not good news-very upset..... DH's sperm has gone down!!!!! It had gone up last time and has gone down again. But the main thing is (that we weren't even flippin well told last time) was that as well as being low the motility is really bad and 94% are abnormally formed.
Basically everything is way too low or way not what it should be. Really really gutted and thinking now that this isn't gonna happen for us without medical help. But get this...still have not been referred! Doc said he needs to 'look into' the criteria to see if we meet it, he made need to find stuff out ring peope etc!!!!!!

Surely a doctor should know the criteria?
He did go so far to say that we 'might' get more testing for me (with my long cycles and not always ovulating) but we might not get any funding for assisted reproduction because DH had chn with his ex-wife and he had a VR.
What the hell? What about me?????????? I don't have any children! and wasnt with DH when he had the original vasectomy.
We got to make anothe appointment in a couple of weeks.

DH very upset when we got home he had full ontears runngin down his face and thinks I won't love him anymore.

 

[schoolteacher]

Gonna put what I said above in a new thread to see if anyone has advice. Sorry if you end up reading it twice!x

 

[Traskey]

You can have assisted conception even if DH has children from a previous relationship. Cambridge is in the same PCT region as Herts (Eastern) and that is the case here. It looks like you would need IVF or ICSI. Demand a referral and if you don't get one ask another doctor. The criteria for IVF and ICSI are no children together, your BMI under 30 and non smokers. You can have the referral to the FS, but not the IVF, if you are working on losing weight or stopping smoking. Hope that helps!

 

[schoolteacher]

Thank-you Traskey! that gives me hope. Grrrrr information is so conflicting! I have read online that you dont get funding but maybe thats if you have chn together and like you say its different in different places. have just spoken to my sister who is a midwife and she too said she thought it had changed in recent years and that we would be eligile. Why is my doc saying we might not be? he clearly isnt sure either and certainaly isnt uptodate in his knowledge!
My sister also said to ring up and ask for another doctor -but im a wuss and scared to!!
