Team Long Term LuvBumps!

[BizyBee]

Well, baseline scan and bloods went well so I am moving on to IUI this cycle. I'm really hopeful that will do the trick! xx

p.s. Great news Leila!

 

[Premomt]

looks like we've got some girls with some progress in the FS relm huh? That's great!
Caz has her ICIS appt in april, Leila is going in June, and Bizy is off to IUI land!

I am going to schedule my DH's SA for next month, and I should be joining you ladies with a FS shortly after! I hope to have my HSG scheduled for my 22 cycle in May, and I pray to god it will reveal, and hopefully fix whatever is preventing us from getting pg.
I am scared to think about what will happen if the HSG shows something... What if they have to do surgery to reverse scarring? or what if I have to go on further for ICIS or IUI? Private insurance does little for fertility issues...
UGH.

So right now, af's on her way out, this cycle is gonna be a blow off and we are just gonna do whatever we want whenever we want. And then DH will get his test and we will go from there!

hope you ladies are doing well!!

Hi Premomt-it's good to hear from you. I don't have much heart to come on much anymore so its good when we can catch up real quick. I am getting ready to OV here probably on Friday-but I'm not temping or charting or anything......I haven't taken any supplements or GF juice-in fact, when we BD today we used the lube we like and not preseed-yikes. After 16 cycles of doing everything "perfect" with no luck what the hell at least it will take some stress off. DH anyway has been taking his fertilaid and ayervedic supplements and I don't know if it is helping his motility but Help Me his libido is sure in full swing! At least I won't have to harp on him for baby dancing!
We are going to give it a few more "laid back" cycles with him off the cigs and bad food & on the supplements and see what happens. I need an HSG too-but yes here in the states all this FS stuff is basically out of pocket, and I'm not sure we want to know the real truth yet.blarghhh.

 

[Leila Fae]

Good luck for this cycle Titi

I think taking a more laid back approach is a great idea - getting stressed out about it takes all the spontaneity and romance out of it. I know that DH and I struggle because we feel we 'should' be BDing when actually neither of us are in the mood

As for me, I'm into the 2ww. Fortunately I'm crazy busy at the moment as I'm performing in a play next week so I'm busy rehearsing and tying up loose ends at work as I'm taking annual leave tomorrow and next week.

 

[Premomt]

Wow~ it's been quiet for over a month in here!! Updates ladies! Updates!!!

For me~ DH had his analysis done and he's "normal" the only thing that rated badly was his "viscosity" Everything else was AOK.
So now it's up to me and my tests. I've been trying to get my OBGYN to tell me what I should do next, but it seems that if I'm not "normal" (IE pregnant by now) they don't really know what to do with me. So I feel like I've been put on the back burner to those ladies who have no prob. getting pg. FRUSTRATING to say the least.

So what's new in your worlds?
Anyone going to go see the new movie that's going to come out this weekend "Babies?" Looks ADORABLE!!!!!

 

[Leila Fae]

Some news from my world...

DH and I went for an Endocriology appointment last week which confirmed that his hormone levels are all totally normal so nothing there which could be causing infertility. We've therefore been signed off as good to move to the next stage of seeing a fertility specialist. We were told we would see someone 'soon' but I'm not sure quite what that means in the NHS!

In the mean time I've had this week off work and we've been doing DIY stuff. We're off to Brussels tomorrow morning for 2 days then have a dinner dance on Saturday night so a good few days lined up! Will help me to not obsess during the 2WW!

 

[Titi]

Hi girls-I've missed you & glad you posted. Premomt I was just getting ready to pm you to see how it was going.

Nothing new here-no new tests yet-waiting for DH's sperm to improve from his lifestyle changes and also bought an ovacue fertility monitor to use this month.

That is great news they didn't find anything really-even though I know you wish you had some answers!

 

[BizyBee]

Hi girls! It's been a while. So glad to hear from you. xx

I have just finished my 2nd IUI on Monday, so I will have a blood test on the 17th. If it's negative, then I have to schedule the lap & dye after AF arrives. Based on those results, it's looking like IVF is in the near future (June/July). FX I won't have to worry about that, but I've come to terms with it and I'm ready to move on.

 

[HunnieBee83]

I'd love 2 join!!! I'd def. call my bump that when I get one, A love bump

 

[Titi]

Good luck Bizybee-we REALLY need a bfp on this thread soon! Some inspiration!

Welcome Hunnie!!!!

 

[BizyBee]

Welcome hunnie.

Thanks Titi. I will try my best!

 

[Premomt]

yay for bizzy!!! fx this round of IUI works and no IVF is needed!!! and welcome Hunnie!
nothing new here, just waiting for my OBGYN to get back from vacation... who says they are allowed to go on vacation....

 

[BizyBee]

I'm feeling positive, so we'll see. xx
