Thanks for clearing that up Krissie sorry AF got you let us know how it goes at the Drs and what the next step will be xx

Dogmommy how are you xx

AFM no AF yet baseline scan tomorrow so will find out when I start the injections Ill keep you all posted xx

 

[sarah2211]

MS is still no fun but I had my scan this morning. One little baby with one strong heartbeat!

 

[AngelaALA]

Sarah so glad your scan went well and you got to hear a heartbeat will your next one be around the 12 week mark xx

Well CD1 for me AF has come 4 days after stopping meds got baseline scan today which will be grim but will find out the date that I start the injections wish me luck xx

 

[RedRose19]

I hope your scan goes well Angela, keeping everything crossed for you.

That's great you saw one strong beanie at your scan Sarah. Makes the ms all worth it I'm sure.

Sorry I've not been. on lately a lot been going on And just wrecked and sore. Had another hospital visit as I was in pain, turned out to be a bad uti causing contractions bit they weren't 100%. I'm seeing them again Monday and will be questioning them.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red I really hope it all goes well FTX for you hun xx

Been for my baseline scan everything looks good so start injections on 15th Sunday then start another injection along with the first one on 20th then scan on 24th and should find out when I go in for my egg retrieval should be around 25th-26th DH goes for his CT Scan on 26th so he has to go next Thursday to give his sample to be frozen just incase its not before his scan as once he's gone for his CT Scan they cant use any sperm for 80 days after it due to radiation so we'll more than likely using frozen sperm they prefer to use fresh but beggers cant be choosers xx wish me luck xx

yay exciting times to have dates etc!! getting pregnant between jan-march is a lovely due dates because you get baby just before xmas, and i think nothing better than a small baby at xmas time!! ive got everything crossed for you hun

dogmommy how are you doing? thinking of you

 

[krissie328]

That is great news Angela.

I am back to worrying that the big part of my problem is thin lining. This cycle was barely 3 days. But of course there is nothing I can do until our appointment in Feb. Which means two more cycles that are wasted. I have read red raspberry tea can help so I am going to try it this cycle.

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks guys and thanks for all your support I will be on 225 iu of Merional then start alongside it 25 iu of cetrotide on 20th xx I am nervous and anxious about it all but if I want a baby its what Ive got to do xx

Krissie hopefully taking that leap will give you your beautiful baby I hope there isnt any issues with the lining though and you do strike lucky xx

Red I would of preferred a bigger gap between xmas but beggers cant be choosers and just having a baby will be amazing xx

Dogmommy I dont know whether your still reading this thread but Im thinking of you right now xx

 

[RedRose19]

Ah no honest Angela having a snuggle bunny before Christmas is a amazing! My niece was only two weeks before Xmas and it was amazing to have baby cuddles with the fire lit and family around! I've always wanted a late Nov or early December baby for that reason lol!

God ladies I was up half the night with painful tightenings but they were irregular and stoppped. I feel he's really.gonna try make an exit soon! I wouldn't mind but we get our new beds delivered today! So I've gotten two mattress protectors and plenty of puppy pads for my side of the bed incase

 

[dogmommy]

I'm sorry I haven't been on... the past couple weeks have been very hard but I am starting to feel back to normal. We were lucky they never found a sac so I didnt need to do a d&c. My follow up appointment isn't until March so for now just trying to make the best of the situation. Going to go out with friends and take weekend trips. Also going to try to drop 15 lbs.

Angela I'm beyond excited for you!! Not long now

Red oh my goodness! Could be any day now! Praying and hoping for a safe and fast delivery!!

Krissie will your dr do a post O ultrasound for you to check lining? Its not really fair to give meds to help you O but not check to see if your lining is thick enough as those drugs can thin your lining .

Sarah so happy you got to the heartbeat. What an amazing feeling that must be!

How's everyone else doing? Sorry if I missed anything.

 

[dogmommy]

Angela not sure what type of ct he's having but make sure he tells them to put lead over his pelvis if they can.

 

[krissie328]

So sorry again dogmommy. At least you didn't need a d&c. I hope the next couple of months allow you to heal.

No, I brought up my fears of a thin lining several times and it was never checked. My consult will be around cd 11 and they will do an ultrasound so I plan to ask then.

 

[RedRose19]

I'm so sorry to hear dogmommy! Please take as much time as you need for yourself! Do what ever makes you feel ok. We are here for you if ever you need to vent . Big hugs xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Red exciting news he could arrive anytime I hope the new mattress and bed is helping you though Ive got a new bed and mattress too we needed it when I think back Im sure our old one was around 12 yrs old definitely needed changing xx

Krissie goodluck with your appt xx

Dogmommy Im so sorry about the MC Ive been there myself and know how devastating it can feel I hope the healing time helps before you move on to the next step again xx Thinking of you right now xx

Unfortunately the pain is around the pelvis area so I dont think they can do that to be honest in the CT Scan xx

Well today is the day take my first injection tonight I am worried but its got to be done just hope it will all be worth it in the end xx

 

[RedRose19]

I woke up feeling incredibly swollen which is a bit worrying but I have my consultant tomorrow so I'm gonna ask about it cuz I got swollen with Jamie. So I'm worried about history repeating itself. I just hope this little man is safe and decides to come himself by 37-38 weeks

Good luck Angela with the injections, I remember feeling nervous about taking my first few , but once you've done the first the worry and nerves go down and by day three you will be a pro lol let us know how you get on

 

[AngelaALA]

Red I hope everything goes smoothly and will be fine Im sure it will be and before you know it you will have your beautiful baby in your arms xx

Well took my first injection today I have to mix 3 bottles of 25 iu of Merional which is a bit fiddly but Im sure it will get easier the injection wasnt as bad as I thought it would be but here goes nothing Ive started now Im hoping the next few weeks goes quickly xx

 

[krissie328]

Red- hopefully it's nothing serious, but definately sounds like it needs followed.

Angela- fx for a successful stim.

 

[brandi91]

Dogmommy, I'm so sorry to hear that news! I will pray for peace and comfort while you take this time to heal!

Angela, how exciting!!! How long do you have to take the injections?

Red, I feel like your pregnancy has flown by! I am so happy for you!

Krissie, that is frustrating that your concerns were disregarded!

AFM, nothing new here. No AF. I'm not even sure what CD I am. Well over day 100, but my app stops tracking after then. Even that period was just from the black cohosh I was taking (I think). I'm tempted to call my OBGYN and see about taking 150 mg of clomid. I highly doubt it would work, but I never tried anything over 100 before I went to Femara. It makes me wonder if there is still hope out there. Hubby doesn't want me to but he told me it is because he doesn't know if he can handle another cycle with no results. Which I understand.

 

[krissie328]

Brandi- that's super frustrating you're still waiting on af. I guess from my perspective trying a higher dose of either clomid or femara wouldn't be a bad idea.

If dh doesn't want to do that what do you think the time line for starting injections might be?

Afm, cd 10 here. I've just not been into this cycle. I haven't done any opks or really cared. I'm hoping next cycle will be better. I'm thinking of giving a shot at clomid next cycle. Just kinda throwing it out there one last time before moving on to bigger stuff.

 

[brandi91]

Krissie, I think that is a good idea! At would give something to work towards until your appointment, at least!

Hubby is so weird about it. Like, I know he wants a baby. More than anything. He is just having a hard time with the treatment aspect of it. I think that he is so let down by it all that he just doesn't want to think about it. I did order some inositol. I am excited to give it a shot! If I were to just end up pregnant, he would be ecstatic!
