Forums New posts
CD28 and no AF, officially late. Took a HPT tonight and BFN. Should have probably used FMU but nooooo :dohh:

Boobs hurt and creamy cm. But only just started hurting properly over the last day...hm.

*twiddles thumbs waiting for AF/BFP*
 
Morning ladies..

FF has put O at CD16 when i didnt have a positive that day? is that just because of the temp rises do you think?

We didnt BD cause OH had a SA so im thinking it wont be our month... boo :(
 
CD 28 here. I want this to be my month SO BADLY. It would be a wonderful birthday gift for myself!
 
hi ladies!

so i have officially read the entire thread and it only took me 2 days:thumbup:
now that i have seen all your stories i feel like i am apart of the group.

you all have been through so much. i really hope each and everyone of you get that :bfp: soon!
 
It's a great thread isn't it?! So many wonderful ladies with different stories and all so helpful and caring. Sometimes I think i would be lost without team 2012 lol xx
 
So we got OH SA back and its not looking good.. the count was great, they were moving fine but their shape is not great... and they did a trial wash and they said there should be over 20 million good quality and he only had 1 million :(:(:(
so basically there is a very low chance of us conceiving naturally.. and we will be discussing IVF/ICSI at our next FS app...
Feeling a bit bummed out today... :(
 
Thats what the Pregancy test will look like at the end of the month :D rosabelle

Guess What! I had the same news given to me back in May and I was broken. I couldn't believe that having a baby wouldn't happen for me (IVF was not in our future financially)

Dh's morphology sucked and even though it improved when we retested a little bit, it was still considered bad. We made plans to save up for IUI and use donor sperm (Dh wanted me to have a baby so badly, he was willing to take himself out of the equation). i went back to the Dr the next day and talked to the nurse practitioner the next day and she did not share the same views as my doctor about our chances.

I decided to follow her advice and we went ahead and used Femara, sonograms and the HCG shot to get me to ovulate. I put dh on vitamins which he only occasionally took and four months later, we were pregnant!

We were given by the dr a 1-3% chance of conceiving naturally and it happened for us.
Morphology isn't as important as count and motility. I was convinced IUI would be the only way for us since our fs washed the sperm, took the best of the best and deposited farther up the uterus. But I am here over 10 weeks pregnant and it happened naturally!

Dont give up! Don't lose hope. It can and will happen without you having to go to IVF or ISCI!!!!!
 
PS.... my RE was very IVF heavy. It brought in the most money to the practice. he pushed IVF because it would give us a 60% chance of working the first month we tried it. It would also cost us 15000$ out of pocket. Sometimes the FS pushes the most expensive treatment for the good of the practice not for the good of you. Talk to the nurses and figure out what will work before you have to resort to treatments that costs thousands of dollars.

low morphology if you read up about it online, it shows IUI can work as well and its much cheaper.
Don't lose hope because of one SA. It takes 90 days for sperm to develop and it can be corrected with vitamins and diet. (not that my dh believed it)
 
Don't count so much on spermiogramme tests, I have read studies which say that they can't really draw conclusion from them because they vary greatly and because a clinic isnt the nicest place to give a shot, also they underestimate the importance of different type of sperm that doesnt look like the perfect swimmer.
 
thanks for all that advice :) and congrats on getting there naturally!!

I am thinking that we might give it a few months before committing to anything big like IVF just yet...
That was my hubbys 3rd SA... the first was lower count and lower live count... second one the whole count was to low to even test.. and then this one included the wash..

gosh i cant believe it would cost you that much! where are you located?
We are in Australia and have top private cover so once we get rebates back we would only be out of pocket about $3000 for the procedure.. not that that makes me want to do it..

He started on vitamins but his blood test came back with very very high iron so we were told to stop ... so if i can find a vitamin with no iron that would be good but not sure if that exisits?

i guess we will just wait until we go and see her again in a few weeks and see what she suggests.. our specialist is known for being very good with suggesting alternative/natural ways of going around things.. rather then IVF
so her saying that we may need IVF wasnt something i was expecting..
 
I live in the states and the cost including meds is around 15 grand in Colorado. In Florida its about 6000$ plus the cost of meds and isci. It depends where you are in the country. I was just happy I was able to avoid it.

They do make vitamins without iron, I take them since I also have high iron in my blood. You just have to read the back of the labels. A lot of the gummy vitamins do not have iron in them at all. I was at one point (before i found iron free prenatals) taking kids vitamins and doubling the dose.

I would look into intrauterine insemination before IVF. Its usually much cheaper.
 
@Rosabelle So sorry to hear about the problems with DH's troopers. Don't give up though! It will happen. Glad you're here so that we can all celebrate with you when your BFP comes!

As for me:
Done with my pitty party and planning for next month. We're going to do the sperm meets egg plan with preseed and softcups. Still doing clomid 100 mg with an Ovidrel HcG trigger. I'll have an ultrasound CD 15 to confirm follicular growth and estimate the best time for ovulation. Planning also to start charting BBT, CP and CM. We're getting a fertility monitor (buying from a friend who could use the cash) to make sure we don't ovulate before the trigger. I'm also going back to my previous gluten free diet. I know I'm gluten sensitive, but its a pain to plan a GF diet so I kind of fell off of it. I'll feel better if I just get back to it, and it'll make me more fertile too.

Goodness, looking through that list of resolutions makes me feel a little baby crazy... oh wait, yeah.. aren't we all?
 
With the trigger shot, you should ovulate between 36-48 hours after the shot. I bded every day for four days before the shot, skipped the day I got the shot and then bded in the morning for the next three days. I didn't track anything or do anything special other than put a pillow under my butt for 10 minutes.

Congratulations!!! It's been months since I was on here, but I remember you and I'm so happy to hear you're expecting. :D
 
Hi, ladies. :) No one will remember me, but I've been off WTT while I got my blood sugars under better control. They're under the mark set by my doctor, so I'm headed in to see the Ob-Gyn tomorrow. Hoping against hope for a green light! Can't wait to get back to the agony and the ecstasy of TTC. I'm sure the agony will get old fast. ;)
