[Pretty Please]

what time your scan ?

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks hopeful! I am adding your list of meds to my notes to ask about. Which ones were not related to yout IUI? My mthfr was normal. I will ask about the neevo dha and metanx but have been successful getting my homecysteine down with the Folic acid. I started with a lower dose and moved up over time. They were testing my bloods every 2 weeks to be sure this level got to normal range before they would let me start TTC again.

Jen - good luck with your scan tomorrow!!

They claim to reduce homocysteine better than plain folic acid and the metanx has even more l methyl so you take both of them to get 4 mg. if you are on 2000, if I read that right? That is probably 2000 micrograms (mcg or a symbol that looks like a u and then g) which is 2 mg.

Hopeful how come they gave you such a range of fertility drugs? I'm going to quiz my doc about them, I can't believe they're so against treatment like this in the uk if you already ov. Would your us clinic treat internationally!!!

Good luck for tomorrow Jenny!

Welcome beachchica!

Getting really naffed off with these pop-up ads on here!!

 

[filipenko32]

I'm not seeing any pop ups puppy, are you sure you not a virus or something or your pop up blocker is not on?

 

[puppycat]

I just installed a new pop up blocker but it hasn't helped (I'm running Firefox so it usually stops these things automatically) - off to investigate!

 

[heart tree]

Beach, they never came to a decided conclusion what caused my losses, though the theory is that since I have adenomyoisis, the embroys were implanting where the adeno was causing a dip in my uterus. That, in turn, was not allowing enough blood supply to maintain the pregnancies. But no one has been able to prove that. We just kept praying that one would implant in a different spot, and it looks like this one might have. The thing is, there isn't a lot of research and knowledge about adenomyosis and fertility. Most women are diagnosed with it when they are having a C-Section (leading me to believe many more women have it and have no complications in pregnancy.) The other reason women get diagnosed is because it can cause excruciating pain and some women end up getting hysterectomies. Mine wasn't symptomatic and obviously I haven't had a C-section.

Fili, I can't remember my follie count. I want to say it was 20ish but can't remember.

 

[filipenko32]

I'm booking in for a saline scan tomorrow, I'm hoping they can see me early next week. It's a fairly painless procedure which checks your womb is ok. Figuring I might as well have it now as I have to have it done as part of their pre ivf treatment screening rules anyway. Hope everything is ok, I know Im over reacting...

 

[Pretty Please]

puppy - since yesterday ive had the same from firefox i thought it was my laptop - always redirecting me to a new different page ! how annoying !

 

[puppycat]

Pretty for some reason my AVG was switched off in Firefox and i downloaded a new 'add-on' pop up blocker.

Hopeful - yes 2mg. I am going to check into that Neevodha. I also checked my prenatals and they also contain an extra tablet of DHA (I take CitraNatal Assure).

Fili - is that an HSG you are having tomorrow?

 

[heart tree]

Fili, none of us would get anywhere if we didn't over react. Do what you need to do.

Jen, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. I know how scared you are. I was terrified for the NT scan. And I know your history makes it even more nerve wracking. Good luck sweetie.

I'm getting ready to head to my father and step-mother's to have lunch. Looking forward to telling them we're having a girl. Can't wait to see my father's reaction!

 

[jenny25]

Thanks filli xx

It's at 9am Hun yeah heart is beating away it wasn't the heart that there was a problem with it was te baby's bladder kidneys so that's why I am more nervous xx

 

[BeachChica]

Hopeful - just doing some more research on your meds. If you don't mind me asking, what do you take the 20 mg prednisone and 40 mg lovenox for? Is that something your doctor prescribed or did you add that to your regimen yourself?

For all if you ladies, did any of you do CSV testing at 12 weeks? Just wondering with the multiple losses if this is a good idea. I have yet to make it to that mark yet but just wondering what you ladies have done/ are doing.

 

[filipenko32]

Heart, that will be emotional but such a happy moment!!!! I hope you enjoy every moment x x x x x

 

[filipenko32]

Beach I think the nt bloods or something like that can give an indication of whether a cvs is needed. All the girls' results on here were brilliant so no one had that done
As for hopeful the mthfr can cause blood clotting too I think so I think she took it for that just in case. But I think she would have taken it anyway? Just to be sure. I've answered as this thread moves so quickly she might not see it x x

 

[filipenko32]

Oh and the pred does great things for implantation and cortisol levels. We have been taking it when we have been diagnosed with high nk cells too. It's pretty harmless or 'benign' as my fs calls it and has done great things for lots of pallers on here. Hang on and I'll give you a link to read

Pip who started the thread is on her 6th pregnancy now ( no children) and is in her third tri practically. She took the steroids for the 1st time and voila success!! She is lovely and I'm sure she will help you but I am nearly as knowledgable about it as pip is but not quite. I get muddled up!
