I had morning sickness so bad this morning!! But good lol

So jealous Lisa! Grrr I gotta wait for the stupid Veterans Affairs to approve his analysis. My gyno will give me the stuff I need for him to collect it but he can't take it to just any clinic or hospital because then we have to pay out of pocket. So we get to wait Ugh I have been off BC for 14 months now and nothing! So frustrating

I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated and I hope you get it approved soon. I'm hoping we don't have to pay too much $$ out of pocket. It had to go on his insurance, we haven't yet added him to my insurance, which is much better and covers more stuff. So, we'll see how much that is! It will be worth it to not have to worry about it though, even though obviously the main issue is with me at this point - day 57 and still no damn egg!

I hear you on that Lisa! I have no clue what is up with me this cycle. I had my second round of spotting. This time for about 5 days so I have no clue if that was all I'm going to get of AF this month or if its just my body doing its normally wacky cycle thing. Frustrating not knowing what is going on. Plus, with me having a fever for a few days, fertility friend has no idea how to count my temps. Now that I'm over almost all my recent health issues, I have a PCOS book I want to get into and a new low carb cookbook since I have high blood sugar and that goes along with the PCOS. Maybe if I can get that under control things will start getting more regular.

I'm still early so I haven't really felt much ms but I have started a little. I have cramps and tired but i wouldn't stop feeling like this I love being preggo. I have been a little scared cause I keep reading about other ladies having m/c I'm so scared I've never had one. My son was 3 1/2 month old when he passed but it's still in my mind

 

[KendraNoell]

Well ladies, started having massive EWCM yesterday to the point where I honestly thought AF had come early... actually took an HPT because I figured it was way too early for that, but I am thinking that maybe I O a few days earlier than I originally thought I did. If the EWCM is gone by tomorrow then I think that means I will O tomorrow night from what I have read. We BD-ed tonight so we shall see! Will try to get some BD in tomorrow too

 

[gueyilla1985]

Oh yay!!! Hope you get a great eggy!!!

 

[pinkanhopeful]

Hey Rae, sorry to hear about the cyst infection. Hope you get well soon. Take it easy and rest.

How is everybody else?

I am having a good weekend so far. Good night out with friends last night and spent the day relaxing today- had a reflexology session, watched a movie with hubby. All good.

Gueyilla, was meaning to ask you, I know you said you were trying for just over a year, but what's your history again? Sorry but I am losing track of everybody! Hope that the nausea eases off for you. This is such an exciting time. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

Anybody know how RN and Pink are doing?

Hi MK8

Not doing too bad thanks for asking, still feeling really tired and got my 20 week scan in 3 weeks to find out boy or girl so excited about that.
Had 2nd midwife appointment where she took more bloods (god i hate needles) for downs testing and got to have glucose tolerance test at 28 weeks which is fasting and more bloods taken but twice in one day due to my BMI

Congrats gueyilla - hope your little muffin holds on tight

Good luck for the other ladies FX for you xxxxx

Hi ladies!

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing! I am 6dpo today and am getting my progesterone bloodwork tomorrow. I have been pushing for this for 4 months! The Dr. wants it done 7 days post ovulation since he know that I wouldn't make it to CD 21 like normal folks! So far all my other bloodwork has come back normal.

How is everyone else? Oh btw... my cycles finally stabilized. I o'd on day 14 so my cycle should be between 21-23 days depending on if the Femara lengthens my luteal phase from the normal 7 days...

Hi all,
I haven't been on for ages the whole ttc thing was getting quite stressful and I needed to try and stop thinking about it. Like that was ever going to happen!!!
Well last week hubby had a SA and his results weren't good. He has a high count and high motility but very low morpholgy. His dr has refereed us for IVF on the NHS. Don't think it has really sunk in yet.
I just don't want to wait weeks for appointment to be able to speak to specialist. Hubbies GP didn't really give us much info on anything that can be done

 

[mk8]

HI girls

PINk, good to hear all is well. SOrry about the needles but all for the best. SCAn soon, yay! Any idea if you think you're having a boy or a girl?

KASi, fabulous to hear your cycles regulated. YEAH! KEEp us posted.

CHAT sorry to hear of the sa results. um surprised of the quick referral for ivf though. how long have you been trying hun? does hubby take vitamins? YOu only need one sperm. what were the number? like? hang in there hun, its good you are in the system. especially on the nhs. which borough are you in?

 

[Chatnoir]

I was surprised too, thought we would need to have more tests. His numbers for count etc where high but only has 5% morphology.....which on wikipedia states is within normal range!!!!! So confusing!
We are in Southend both under 30 with no other kids. We have benn trying since December.
I have private health Cover through work so I'm wondering if we could get more tests done privately ? But if we Start out private would we gave to stay private?!
I'm really hating this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mk8]

Chat, I am really surprised you have been referred. THe morphology number seems absolutely fine. ALso, it hasn't been a year yet so don't get why your doc is suggesting ivf already- too invasive!

WHAt tests have you had again?

SUggest going to see the fertility expert your gp has refered you to first. ASsume you aren't going to be wheeled in for ivf immediately. HOw long does the doc think you have been trying? Also since Dec?

 

[Chatnoir]

Yeah we told him December but he said to tell specialist that we have been trying for two years or they would make us wait! I had day 21 blood tests in June as no opks where picking up any ovulations but bloods where all fine. I have been using the clear blue fertility monitor for 3 months which now picks my O. OH has just had a sperm analysis. As I said his counts and motility are normal.
I'm in a mad panic now thinking we are gonna have to wait weeks\months for a referral to a consultant just to have a load of tests done which we can get done on my private healthcare in no time!
I really don't kneow what to do! Wait for referal or go to my GP with a copy of OH results for a second opinion or just book to speak to private specilist.

 

[KendraNoell]

what is morphology in relation to the motility and count?

 

[mk8]

Hi chat,
I think your hubbys doc is crazy to suggest ivf so early and without doing more tests. THey should re test sa in a few months time.
ONLY you can decide if you want to do more invasive tests now. FOR me, I don't want an hsg until its been a year. HUbby has yet to get sa and we began trying in Jan. WOuld suggest a second opinion though on the sa.

 

[Chatnoir]

Hubby dr's reception caller this afternoon. Apparently they cannot refer us it had to be through my GP???? I have to OHs results to my dr's and then they refer us! Makes no sense at all why does it matter who refers us!
Either way looks like we will be getting a second opinion.
Morpholgy is the form of the sperm. OH little soldiers all have deformaties ie two head, no tails etc etc.
So stressed out about it don't really know what to do. Can't get ab appointment at my gp for another 2 weeks!

 

[mk8]

TRy to relax chat.
- you have been trying under a year
- I think some say 5% morphology is within normal range
- results based on one test only
- there is sperm so there's hope!

MAke the appointment with your gp and take it from there.2weeks is ok in the scheme of things. CONtinue trying.

 

[mk8]

how you doing now chat?

other ladies- how are you doing?

 

[Chatnoir]

after a very stressful day and evening, we are just gonna keep trying as we are and go to my gp for a second opinion. I don't think they will refer us as quickly as the other dr but suppose that's not such a bad thing! Just very frustrating when u have all these questions u want to ask but no one to get answer from. Aftr looking through every forum I could find I think 5% morphology Is ok.....not great but ok. And couples with less morphology have gone on to get pregnant. I'll keep u all updated when I've got my second opinion.
Thanks ladies xxxxxx
