Poppy666 and Lew32, thanks so much for the babydust! I tested 12 days past IUI and it came out NEG. I am now 16 days post IUI and no period but I am not expecting my period until the (8th. if this is another 33 day cycle) I started my period on Feb. 4th. had IUI on feb. 19th. at 16 days (ovulation) and now it is another 16 days past IUI. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Last cycle I had my period 16 days past my last (1st.) IUI. So I am thinking it will happen again. The reason I think this is because I have period symptoms like mild bloatning, breast tenderness, and cramping. Not uterus cramping but more like ovary cramping. I am trying not to read into it. I won't test till a couple days after my period is due!

lots of for you

CORAL - Think those free Huggies vouchers are only accepted in the bigger Tesco stores, as far as I can remember.

PHOEBE - The Sertraline is an SSRI which is why I'm worried. She didn't even consider increasing the dose of the Amitriptyline - not sure why. I'm hoping that next time I have to go I can see my normal Dr and maybe ask about CBT or something. Don't think tabs alone are enough.

MC - I don't know how to check the nub I'm afraid but had a little peek at your scan, it always amazes me how clear they are! Baby looks very comfy in there

LUPINE - You're still in with a chance hun, don't give up just yet

LEW - My best friend has her scan this week too, she's going to find out the sex if poss, are you? It's very exciting, I can't wait to find out what she's having - I didn't find out with my daughter, everything we had was white or brown

JENNY P - Hope you get a BFP this cycle - what a fab holiday it would be with a bean growing in your tummy x

CHINA - Thanks

PK2of8 - Thanks

Hope I didn't miss anyone.

Went into Cardiff today as my DH was doing a 5k fun run for Cancer Research Wales, he dressed as a dragon (proper fancy dress outfit) he is 6' 1" so made a statement, he does like to be centre of attention! Was damn cold though!

Had Sunday lunch at the in laws then, it's nice to not have the washing up

Quiet night in tonight, my mum has been away this wkend so if she gets home at a resonable hour I might go see her for a bit.

Hope you're all ok

Puppycat,
I was on sertraline a few yrs back and it did not suit me 1 bit. I found it made things worse personally. I was also on Paroxetine which i found pretty much the same. And without scaremongering there has been a lot of bad press about those 2. Over the yrs i have been on a few tablets and it was only the venlafaxine that has suited tbh. I was diagnosed with chronic recurrent depression, in which has been mainly settled for a few yrs now, apart from my mmc last new yr. I do believe that meds alone dont always get to the bottom of things. And i have been seeing a pyschotherapist and cpn for a while now, and that has helped immensely. So yes do try and get some therapy of some sort. As talking things thru and getting the demons off ur chest can be the power of good xxx

Hey Mc- I am still thinking Team Blue for you (pretty sure that's what I guessed previously).

Your nub is kinda on the fence IMHO, but still leaning towards team for you

Morning everyone! It is quiet here huh?

[phoebe]

Hi Lupes xxx

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Great advice Phoebe! x

Puppycat, not had a lot of chance to look through my stuff for you yet but my first glances are all confirming the slight wobble I have with Sertraline. I'm gonna have a read tomorrow. x

Lovelybear, nice to see you hop on again honey, were rooting for ya! x

 

[puppycat]

Thanks Phoebe.

I made friends with a patient advocate who told me about CPN's etc, I'd love one of those! HE swears by them but I have no idea how to go about any of it. Now I know more I'm a bit disappointed in my Dr who I thought was doing the best for me. Sigh.

I have told the Dr I do intend to TTC, I don't want to hold back on my family because I am taking medication, I want my daughter to have a brother or sister and preferably ASAP, does that sound selfish? I know my nan would rather me wait until i'm 'fixed' as she sees it.

Anyway, I really appreciate your knowledge, sounds like you have been through the mill a bit hun, you never truly know how you'll deal with things until you are faced with them, that's why the ATOS review was silly 'how do you cope with change?' - what kind of change? Who knows? silly.

 

[poppy666]

Thats ok lovely, if i can help at all then please just ask hun, And ur, right life is filled with moments of not knowing how to face/deal with them until they are thrown at u. I have been thru a lot, but i also like to think that i survived it all and am here to to tell the gory tales lol.
And no ur not selfish at all in wanting to complete ur family, i mean if we all waited until we were 'fixed' then nothing would ever be achieved/accomplished. So if ur feeling personally strong enough then go for it i say. And having suffered a mc, ur filled with a deep void that needs to be worked on. I, Poppy and few others only know that feeling too well.
As for getting a CPN, maybe u could try Ur GP for a referral for counselling or head into ur local AMHT establishment and self refer. Do u have access to anything like that? Another good place would be is to get in touch with MIND, they are a very good charity that work alongside the AMHT xx

Hello China xx
just looked at ur chart, looking good sweety, i have got everything crossed for u xxx

 

[puppycat]

Thanks phoebe.

I have only taken this Sertraline for 2 days so still waiting on any side effects, the Amitriptyline gives me an awful dry mouth, I've noticed I have been a bit light headed too - especially after leaning over or bending down, I see stars and get a bit wobbly - worth a mention I think?

I'm not sure how I feel atm, it'd help if I was settled on one tablet I guess, I don't want to TTC if my tabs aren't safe and certainly not if my head's in the shed!

I understand hun, didnt realise it was only early days. A lot of A-D's cause a dry mouth, not exactly sure why. But its deffo worth a mention about the wobblyness and light headed feelings. I know that depression treatments are very trial and error as far as meds are concerned. But i would really insist with ur DR that u get some kind of CBT/counselling help, As i saw u have been battling for nearly a yr now. It not been helped really, by u seeing diff DRs so ur getting mixed opinions i gather. And plus GPs are not really all that skilled in this area, so I would deffo push ur worries/concerns and see if they can refer u to the professional pyschiatry side of things. Or failing that do what i said and self refer urself xx

 

[phoebe]

Right i will try and get back on later, i am just gonna have a very late tea lol. Catch u all soon. Big hugs xxxx
