[Desperado167]

Heavenly, you sound one chilled babe, I like your plan

Marathongirl, nice to meet you

Despie, does that mean you're not going to bother with the soy again next cycle??

I loved it jax and felt great on it so I will take it again only a bigger dose and not start dtd too early

I'm curious about soy and wondering if I should give it a try. Does it give you better quality eggs? Or does it work only on your ovulation? Thanks.

There's a soy thread on the TTc over 35 ,it can give u better quality eggs all the info is there ,u should try it I loved it ,good luck and let us know how it goes if you do ,

What's a walnut whip? Sorry just curious, it sounds good! I love my hot chocolate I know I cut out coffee for the caffeine and drink hot chocolate instead:blush
Desperado- why did the soy delay O? I thought it was supposed to make it happen earlier? I also gave up drinking too much soy milk. I still drink it once in a while but I was drinking vast quantities of it last year. My acupuncturist told me to switch to almond milk how much did it delay O?
Thanks for the welcome jax

P'd off with my DH tbh Heavenly, he's messing me around and thinks it's funny bad move he's playing with dangerous stuff here.....

Hey, get busy

 

[l8bloomer]

Got my AMH and HSG results today.

HSG is clear.
AMH is 1.81. Is that good? The specialist says it means he can get eggs for IVF.

 

[44andHoping]

Whooooaaaah! Never seen a walnut whip before but now i WANT ONE!!! Yum!! Where can I get those in Cali! :drool:

Cycle day 18 for me. Waiting it out and loads!!

Marathongirl> I LOVE almond milk. Delish!!

LOL @ jax! thankfully my DH seems to go along with the flow for now. Hope that continues as long as this journey does!

l8bloomer> I wish I could help but am totally cluless abaout lab values at this point. We've only started looking into infertility. I'm sure it will be a test the Ob Gyn will want to do at some point. Hope its all a good thing there for you! I'm guessing since he said he can get eggs then possible a good result?

 

[marathongirl]

Heavenly- Whoa those walnut whips look amazing!! You definitely have some different stuff in the UK,how awesome. Thanks for that. You go girl I'm in the same boat cd11 today and an almost pos opk probably tomorrow or Sunday which leaves O for Monday or so? Dh should be happy?

Jax- sorry that dh isn't cooperating. That makes it near impossible? I hope he comes around.

L8bloomer- I don't know anything about AMH. I think I've had all the tests except for that one. What is it again?
44and hoping- any ss yet?

Well done on the HSG, I don't know why I didn't think of getting my tubes checked ages ago but it will be next on my list!!!

As for AMH, as you know, I am waiting for my results but I have read up a bit.

The table below has AMH interpretation guidelines from the fertility literature and our own experience. Do not get carried away with the cutoff values shown here.

AMH Blood Level

High (often PCOS)
Over 3.0 ng/ml

Normal
Over 1.0 ng/ml

Low Normal Range
0.7 - 0.9 ng/ml

Low
0.3 - 0.6 ng/ml

Very Low
Less than 0.3 ng/ml


So excellent for you, you have given us oldies hope!!!

Marathongirl - The level of AMH indicates how well the ovary is functioning and, as this falls with age, experts believe it is the best indicator of future fertility.

AMH is produced by the egg follicle that the ovaries grow to prepare an egg for release into the fallopian tube. The levels of AMH found in the blood could be an indicator of a woman’s ovarian function. Essentially, an AMH test can tell you if your ovaries are still releasing eggs.


I have fannied around for too long the past 4 years, with an unsupportive GP and I was naive, I should have had an HSG, FSH and AMH done ages ago!!! But it is what it is, I am doing it now! FSH is good, waiting for AMH and HSG will be next!!

 

[l8bloomer]

wow thanks heavenly, for the info.

It's great knowing that I have some good numbers as my FSH was a little on the high side. That discrepancy seems a little odd though because the way I understand it, they both measure the same thing, albeit from different angles so to speak.

I hope you get good results also.

I have read lots of things, I have seen ladies who have got pregnant with high FSH and decent AMH, so I wouldn't worry too much. I think AMH is more important than FSH, but we aren't talking about robots here and spreadsheets, we are human beings...nothing is set in stone.

 

[44andHoping]

Marathongirl> tryring not to SS this time around. After the past 6 months I realize that all the early sx's (sore BBs, backache, CM, fatigue, cramps etc etc) all seem to relate to nothing for me. I always get darn AF.

However, Im actually not feeling ANYTHING this week which might be odd? Nothing is sore...not tired. No cramping. No headaches. nada! One week until testing!!

As for the FSH ......I am almost afraid to learn about mine after the CCCT next month. I do know that it doesnt really let you know how good of a chance you have to conceive only lets you know if you will find it harder to conceive. We shall see. The Dr mentioned he may do the dye test to make sure I have no blockages going on. I dont think he ever mentioned the AMH test.

 

[heavenly]

44andhoping - I have given up SS, it's so much less stressful! AMH is supposed to give you more accurate info than FSH re state of your eggs, my FSH in November was 6.2 which is pretty good for my age, but My FS told me I needed to get my AMH done. I want a dye test as well, as much info as poss! x

 

[Butterfly67]

Heavenly that FSH is better than mine that was 7.4

Hi dustar, I think a few people are using the CBFM but I just use the cheap OPK strips which do fine for me as long as I use them about 4 times a day once I start seeing a line on them

Same here I did use the cbfm too and got a bfp from using it but I found it takes a few months to get to know your cycle and I am too impatient to wait that long so I end up torturing myself with line judging on the opks

My AF has just finished, and have 6 days to go till ovulation - does anyone no of a good ovulation kit to use?

I use the CBFM but if you haven't used it before then yes, it could take about 3 months to properly get to know your cycle.

Good luck.

Hi there, got kit and today is defo ovulation day

I am still here, I read up every now and again but I can't TTC right now if eve. We had a car accident back in July and i didn't know at the time that my back ache was due to a herniated disc or two or three. However The disc between L5 and S1 herniated into the spinal cord canal and was compressing the cord. we know it was the car accident coz after disk surgery it takes 6-7 months for the end part of the disk to heal over and calcify. so there fore my calcifyed disk had been 6-7 months ago enough for it to harden and start to cut into the spinal cord. I had acute sciatica and in the end I couldn't walk (great birthday present ay) so got taken off to hospital in an ambulance and then had surgery. I can't even pick up my new grandson Cameron who is only 7lb 9oz (born on Valentines Day). i can't bend, lean. pick anything up that weighs more than a kilo so I can only hope that thins will improve and I'll be back to normal in about 6-12 months. However I gather i will always have the sciatica and weakness in my left leg
Every now and again I have a cry and get all depressed and fed up. Then my liver tumour is also still there and I was trying to sit on the side of the bed and look in the bedside drawer but the tumor kept stopping me leaning.. maybe a good thing considering my back. I see the liver specialist on the 15th and as he reckons this is the largest benign focal nodula hyperplasisa ? FNH I am wondering if he wants to cut it out and bottle it. It does not involve any of the liver segments just sits in its own little capsule inside the live between the segments, appro 9x7x8mm. Mind you nobody is saying anything about the cyst on the other end of my liver so i am hoping it is just a cyst and nothing to worry about.
so you can see why I have been absent.
I can't even look after the children so DH has to either work around their school /nap times or stay home. Someone please tell me it will all get bettet one day an I'll have a rainbow instead of storm clouds dumping on me.

BTW I can still pot up my seeds and get plants growing that I can either sell or plant around our dam.

hugs, love, and baby dust and sticky vibes to all
Judy
