Severely blocked fellopian tubes and pregnancy

[Anne24]

Hi Anne- How are you feeling? You are 13/14 dpo today right?

LL Glad to know that your leep was a breeze. How are you feeling? Just ignore that C word of the doctor. Wonder why docs can't exercise caution at times in front of a patient. Its 28th morning here today and am 15dpo. Still no af but I have loads of cm(sorry) which makes me rush to the washroom thinking its af on the way I finish my progesterone tablets today and then I wait. Having said that I still feel af is on the way For the past couple of days I have not been able to sleep properly at night making me feel extremely sleepy in the daytime. I guess I am stressed out.

Hope Wow you getting pregnant is nothing short of a miracle. Are your girls excited that they will soon have a sibling?

LC How is your ds doing?

KC How have you been hun? When's your ER?

 

[LillyLove]

Anne- Are you doing the tablet vaginal inserts? CM is a good sign! That is strange that they don't keep you on progesterone but maybe they just do that for ivf since iui is more natural and the fertilization and everything is natural. Sorry you are not sleeping well. The seasons are changing here and I am going through the same thing. I am up late at night because I can't sleep and then I am so groggy during the day.

 

[Lawyer chick]

Anne. It's so stressful the waiting and symptom spotting too. Our linic makes up go on day 14 after iui for beta ( I didn't last time. Af showed up but I didn't do progesterone either)


Ds....ummm let's say I'd like to kill him. He isn't exactly listening to not weight bear on it. He walks around infrequently with cast on without crutches and mostly doesn't want to listen. We go to fracture clinic next we'd.

Tuesday I see bad gyn for follow up colpo I hope they discharge me.

 

[LillyLove]

LC- ugh frustrating about ds. Good luck on colpo. I should have my leep biopsy back on Friday hopefully.

 

[Anne24]

LL I am not doing the progesterone vaginally. Its a tablet that I have to take twice daily after meal(lunch and dinner). To be honest I am kind of mentally prepared for the next cycle iui. But one part of me says okay may be just may be I am pregnant and then again when the cramps come back I am like okay the witch is knocking. Uggh. Good luck for your biopsy results hun. I am sure everything's gonna be fine.

LC My clinic doesnt do blood work before a positive hpt I am actually expecting af on weekend though I really want it to stay home. Sorry about ds being kind of disobedient. And whats your plan after you are discharged? Sorry for asking but are you going to ttc naturally or going for assisted conception?

Have a great long weekend girls and happy Easter

 

[Lawyer chick]

I will be with fertility clinic still so assisted (few more iui).

I will just get PAPS once a year. This is my 18 months past cone biospy ( hard to believe all that time has one and still never a bfp. ) I willbe o happy to be discharged as I do not like this dr.

My surgeon head gyn/ob at the hospital I did like him. My RE I love but this gyn not as much.

Ds, the child is just stubborn like his mom and seems to always have to learn the hardway aka rarely listens to my advise. He says well I can flex it now.....I don't think he gets it's OT his ankle bone but his leg (fibula)

 

[Anne24]

Ladies I think I am out. Cramping terribly and started spotting I am not sad but disappointed. But I want to get over with this now so that I can quickly move on to iui #2

Monitoring was yesterday. AF did not fully arrive so my lining was a bit thick and they found a tiny cyst on my left ovary. The Dr. said I may have to come back for monitoring a couple days later. However, New Hope called and said all looked great and I need to start my clomid today and injections Saturday-Monday. I arrive back in NYC on Wednesday for monitoring there (it's too difficult to translate follicles without pics) and ER should be Sunday the 7th if all goes according to plan! I'm so excited. Once of the girls in the mini arm like myself had 11 eggs retrieved and 7 are blastocytes! Some women in Conventional IVF don't produce that many eggs. She's 35 like me too. I'm praying I have that good of a turn out.

LL- Do what you're most comfortable with. If you don't want to share your issue then that's your choice. We will support whatever you decide to do.

 

[kcarey77]

Hi girls...just got back from LEEP. The preparation was much worse then the procedure itself. The procedure lasted only 2 minutes. It was very fast. The only thing that was bothersome is that the doctor said, "Now we send off to the lab to make sure it is not cancer." I'm like, Seriously? What are the chances of moderate dysplasia being cancer? She is like it is very rare. Well everything that has happened to me has been very rare! So now I have to wait and worry about that....

Anne- The fact that doctors pumped me with progesterone while not bothering to check my levels after my transfer drove me crazy when I was doing ivf. Maybe we don't understand the medicine, but I would think they would want to monitor levels instead of giving one size fits all when it comes to the prog. whatever...hang in there. What cd does af usually arrive for you?

Hope41- Your story made me laugh (all the men going crazy) thanks for sharing. You sound like me when I was in my 20s - minus the 3 little ones. You go girl!! You are right...I would have told him if I had to hold out for 7 wks the leep. Now that it is over I am relieved, but nervous about results. I need a vacation! How are you feeling these days? Are your other children excited for their new sibling?

I'm glad the LEEP procedure is over. Praying it comes back with clear margins. I'm sure it will. Not very eloquent doctor, huh?

LC- How is your son doing?

Anne- Hold on, you're not out of the game yet! FX

 

[LillyLove]

Anne- Aww I am sorry! Even when we expect it, it is still a disappointment.
Onward and upward!

KC - Isn't it crazy how once you get going it goes fast? Fast but slow. For me I felt like time went by very quickly and then the 2 week wait hit and BAM...slow as snails. I ordered from https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/extra-sensitive-pregnancy-test.html and they are super awesome if you plan on testing early. Way cheaper than going to walgreens for a FR. Are you doing your own injections or having DH do them. I was really scared about the injections but they aren't bad at all. I remember the days when you never thought you would be here and here you are!!!! I am over the moon for you girl! xo

If you have a 5 day transfer of a blast you can start testing as soon as 5 dpt (which is equivalent to 10dpo).

 

[Anne24]

Hello ladies,
I'll be out of town for the weekend so will be mia. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you so much, LL! I am going to take a stab at it myself tonight. I will need to do it eventually because if I need more Bravelle after monitoring I will be in NY so I much learn to do that job right from the start. I have no fear of needles, it's the thought of stabbing myself that I don't like. But, I will put my Big Girl Panties on and do it in the name of a baby!
You're right, I never thought in a million years that I would be here doing IVF this year. It really is a blessing to be involved in this Trial. This could pave the way for all women suffering with infertility and just can't afford the cost of treatment and meds. The mini IVF could be the way to go moving forward and that will help out so many women struggling. I'm thrilled to be a part of science that could change IVF protocols as we know them. Sometimes, less is more. New Hope has a higher success rate with FETs than with fresh so I'm being optimistic.
My gf just confessed she was 6 weeks pregnant...she only tried for 4 months. It would be super helpful to me, not having a mother, to have a buddy during the entire process.
Happy Easter!
Please keep me in your prayers that this cycle results in a healthy pregnancy!

 

[kcarey77]

LC- I will be praying for your results to be perfect!
LL- You know you are in my prayers also! That biopsy better come back clean! Did you get results yesterday?
Anne- I'm sorry sorry you're spotting. Boo! It could still be implantation. But, you know your body. Hopefully the next one is the last one! FX

Happy Easter to all of you ladies!

 

[LillyLove]

I called but they did not have my results yet. Thanks for thinking of me and praying for me. It has been a rough week. I haven't told anyone about the Leep so have been dealing with the emotions on my own. My grandma just got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (my mom's mom) so she is really stressed out with that as well as her own health. My mom and I don't have the emotionally supportive relationship I have always craved, so telling her would be more of a pain than anything. She is a martyr when it comes to other peoples issues. Like complaining how she is so stressed out over my divorce and not having a job - but it is happening to ME! Not her. So you can see why I don't lean on her for support.

idk just feeling down and very alone.

Hope all who celebrate have a blessed Easter!

 

[kcarey77]

I'm sorry, sweetheart. I can imagine how hurtful and annoying that type of attitude is. Do you think it would help to tell a girlfriend? Sometimes I find it super helpful to just tell someone, ya know? I cant relate to the divorce (although sometimes I feel like getting one..lol) but I can certainly relate to not having a mother to lean on for support when it is needed most. I'm always here to listen if you ever need anything, seriously. My mom was killed when I was 10 and I have always leaned on friends over family for support so my friends have become my family. The offer is there is you ever want to vent.
Try to focus on the positive aspect of it all. I know it sounds ridiculous but hope is all we have sometimes. You had a LEEP done to prevent cervical cancer so you are proactive in your health and you're a beautiful person with a big heart. Keep reminding yourself how fortunate you are and good things will follow. God has a plan for you, it may not seem like it right now, but everything happens for a reason. HUGS!

 

[Lawyer chick]

LL hugs mt friend. I'm sosorry about your grama.
I'll be around Ll weekend if you wanna cha t.

 

[Anne24]

KC Things are moving real fast.Eeeks. You will be in my prayers hun that this cycle translates into a successful pregnancy. Am so happy that you are finally here

LL I am sorry hun. Big hugs. I understand you not being able to relate to your mom. I am in the same boat too. Mom and mine relationship has been kind of complicated too. I can never have a heart to heart with her regarding anything leave alone infertility. But you are not alone. We are all here for you. I think you are beautiful, successful and an independent woman and that makes you so admirable

LC Any updates on ds? How has he been?

Afm My af finally arrived on the 31st at 18dpo. It sucks isnt it? But I'm having an extremely light af this time around. The first day I had a heavy flow and the second day too light. I guess its the clomid effect which is known to thin the uterine lining. I did call up the clinic on CD 1 and was asked to start my meds for IUI#2.

 

[Hope41more]

Sorry I have not been on, been really ill. Had a flu and virus for over a week then last thurs doctor diagnosed sinusitis gave me a nasal sprayand antibiotics then thurs night I was in so much ith my ear (felt like it was going to burst) so rang emergency doctor. Pain was horrific and while waiting for a call back it did actually burst my daughter actually heard it too and she started screaming- ended up in hospital- still not good.
LL- I hope your feeling a little better and have had a good easter. I'm sorry about the bad news with your grandma and hope it is curable/operable. I can relate to the bad realtionship with your mother, my mother and I are not speaking (have not been for about 2mths) my mam cannot cope with any stress of her or anyones problems. It is always 'i can't handle this' 'i can't cope' ' poor me'. Sounds awful but i'm not missing her or the drama. I feel like I was the mother in our relationship, I could not turn to her for any type of support and if I ever did I would come away feeling worse!!! I know your results will come back fine otherwise your specialist would have wanted to be pro active about it herself. It's awful feeling lonely, I hope it was only short lived and you are feeling happier now. Us girls are here for you and we are always here to listen and give you our support. xxx
Kc- Not long now, fingers crossed you get lots of lovely eggs and this is going to give you your baby.
anne- I'm sorry af arrived. I hope the next iui works for you. How many will you do? do you plan on moving to IVF if iui is not successful?
Lawyerchick- Hope ds is not being as stubborn as her was.
Hope you have all been able to enjoy the holidays. xxx

 

[LillyLove]

First of all I want you all to know how much your support means to me. Seriously I want to hug you all - give you a big squeeze in real life!

Hope41- We have the same mother! The unfortunate part is my dad completely caters to her every whim so she has never learned to stand on her own two feet and everything has been handed to her and she can do no wrong. I completely relate to going to her for support and walking away worse then before.

Anne- Thanks for understanding. Mothers are so difficult! I completely relate!

LC- Thanks for the PM and reaching out, it really meant a lot that you would offer to take time out of your life to support me

KC- What can I say sister! You pretty much rock, but you already know that!


RESULTS FROM LEEP ARE IN
I just received a call from the nurse. The biopsy results from Leep showed CinI and CinII however margins were clear so they believe they got it all!!! YAY! Next steps are a follow up appointment to check out cervix healing. Then 6 months from now I go in for a repeat pap.

I feel like I have a second chance at life, as I was reading horror stories and thinking I was going to need a hyster. There is hope yet!
