can't imagine letting dh go at my lady garden with a razor too scary to think about really

poppy, good thing to talk to your midwife about it you can do it hun...anybody who's as strong as you are and been through all you have can kick it sweetie

hopes, i'm sure both your boobies will be just fine and we don't have an appt yet for IUI. we go back to the urologist next tues (may 17) and once we get the SA results there, then i'll make the appt with the fertility specialist. i'm really hoping we can push for iui this cycle, but i guess it will depend on how soon we can get in for an appt.

What fertility specialist did you choose?

 

[MommyV]

Thanks for the reply Tink. I'm pretty sure that I have to pick an OB and that is pretty much who I will see. I have gotten a couple of recommendations one is right here in town and the other is about an hour away. Will probably call the one in town on Monday because right now my day and the rest of my weekend is going to be crazy. I definately think it will be better for me and the baby if I have a doctor who has more experience dealing with high risk pregnancies.

Hey ladies!
Sorry i have been MIA.
Well 11 dpo and still testing bfn even with a frer so i am pretty sure i am out this cycle
I had the doctors today and while i was there i mentioned that dh and i were ttc with no joy after having my last depo shot 17 months ago (so im 14 months clear of the depo now).
The general advice after stopping depo is that it could take 6-18 months clear of the depo for things to return to normal so i was expecting the doctor to tell me to come back in September but instead she decided nothing would be investigated until January next year, grrrrrr!
However after fighting my case she decided she would do routine bloods, check i have immunity against rubella and check my FSH on cd 3, so i have the forms and will get all the bloods done together on cd3. She wouldn't give into checking my progesterone on 7 dpo despite begging lol
DH goes to a different doctor surgery to me though so i think im just going to get him to go ask for a SA and not mention the whole depo thing and say we've been trying for 14 months with no joy.
Anyways thats whats going on with me so now going to go read back.
Hope all is well with everyone x

aw glad to hear all you guys quitting smoking, im sure you can do it, and we'll all be here for support!

pheebyweeby glad everything is doing well, hadnt heard from you for a while and started to get concerned.. you could be giving birth for all we knew! its almost timeeeeeee ahh i cant wait, so excited for you!! first dingdong baby!

mc about the back pain, i find that my back hurts the worst when im sitting often. its not that obvious WHILE im sitting, but i find that if i sit a lot one day, my back and tailbone are VERY sore, enough that moving around hurts. I find that I feel the best when I walk.. A LOT! I've been walking a couple miles a day and feeling great!

nothing new for me. been nagging OH to help me finish up some stuff in the baby room, but he is still pretty useless with his arm. his next appointment is may 18th, next wednesday, so ill be interested to hear about when he might be returning to work.

lets see some bumps!!

morning ding dongs

Jenny sorry for bfn sweetie not sure about the depo taking up to 18months to leave, seems a long long time. When you were on it did you get periods? How long since you have got them regularly? I would have thought if they were regular now the depo was well out of your system? Glad she ordered some tests but if you are not happy you could get another opinion. Good luck hun

sorry I haven't read back much. I'm so sore from painting and moving furniture all day yesterday and that was only Chloe/babies room. I will take pics once I get the nursery furniture and its all done. The green was much brighter and not sure I like it. Might go over with a light shade not sure yet. now I need to tackle Ryan's room!! I can't wait!

What fertility specialist did you choose?

we haven't chosen one yet i've put it off until we see the urologist and get the results of dh's SA. i'm kinda hoping they'll say they need to do bloodwork to try to get more answers. in any case, i know the fs will want dh's SA too, so that's also why. but i was thinking of making 2 appts. one with who you suggested and the other at a different clinic...my gyn said this other doc (i can't remember his name right off...i'll have to get the card out) used to be with the same one you suggested and then started his own. i don't know though. where are you at with everything now ttc?

Greetings Ding Dongs

Just tucking into left over chinese

Nice evening last night, went over to DH's dads for Chinese. It was to mark a year since DH mum died Chinese was her fav, so was nice to be together. Taking the day slow here, sooooooooooo tired

Lupine, sorry its looking like you have so fertility issues. Don't google and keep positive. There are options for you, and your gonna get there x

Mommyv, I defo agree you need a Ob who has experience with high risk pregnancys. FX you find a good one who makes you feel reassured x

Jenny, think its a great idea to get DH to go to his G.P. I don't agree that the Depo is still affecting your fertility now, I know it can take some time, but I don't believe it takes that long. Yes get DH to keep quiet about it, and try and go down that route. FX you get some joy. Was wondering how your test went, sorry it was a BFN x

Hopes, glad DH is recovering and hope he can help you finish the nursery soon. Your right about sitting, I learnt early on with my back problems that sitting actually puts more pressure on your back than standing. Hope it doesn't get to sore for you x

MC sorry, I totally missed you asking about back pain. Well Hopes was right about keeping active if you can, but like you said, its not that easy The only way I get through the day with my back and pelvic pain is:
Hundreds of pillows in bed including a giant U pillow: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BIG-V-SUPPOR...cy_MJ&var=&hash=item6d6fd8ad5b#ht_3939wt_1139
and V pillow behind me on the sofa and feet elevated on footstall most of the day
Hot packs / wheat pillows especially this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0010NE0O8/ref=oss_product
Showers (baths would be better but I can't get in and out anymore ) I have a shower seat which makes it a little more relaxing
A tens machine, although I'm not convinced this helps really.
Deep freeze spray, when pain in severe (the heat one shouldn't be used in pregnancy)
A support belt
Not leaning over, or lifting anything heavy.
Gentle exercises such as the cat https://www.askamum.co.uk/Pregnancy/Search-Results/Exercise/Safe-Exercises-During-Pregnancy/
Sitting on a birthing ball is also meant to be good, although I'm not allowed with my pelvic problems so I haven't tried.
ok overkill on the advice, sorry MC anyhow, hope your ok. x

Coral all the painting done now?! can't wait to see the photos x

Puppycat, what's new? congrats on the severance pay, and enjoy the party and moterbike ride my word, been years since I've had a ride, those were the days x

It was nice but I nattered til 2.10am then had to drive home. Of course Ryan and dog had me up at 7.45 so a little knackered Legs and back sore from moving furniture too. After the painting was done yesterday I took a bath and it was so nice and relaxing I fell asleep for a bit
