The LTTTC thread for everyone.

Ok Venezuela is what you meant! Didn't know you Venezuelan LL, but then it makes sense,its the beauty capital of the world

 

[crystal443]

Peace, what happens now for you as far as immunity goes? I know you continue on progesterone but is it a watch and wait sort of thing now? I'm so scared to get a BFP now, maybe that's why I'm not bothered at this point in my cycles Also I did want to ask if you know anything about HGH?

FS mentioned it to us at our first visit and I was iffy on it so didn't go ahead. The last appointment we went to he mentioned it again and I've looked into a bit and it helps get more eggs and better quality. Works for some ladies with low AMH, do you know if it affects anything immunity wise, is it something I should stay away from

I'm thinking of putting IVF off until December, I have an appointment to see FS Nov 10th but I'd like some time to see what protocol he suggests and try to come up with something that will work for me. If I go ahead in Nove I'd be having my appointment and starting IVF right away. I don't know I'm just not comfortable jumping into it so quickly this time

Yes he cheated yet again. No way in HELL the results turned that quickly and wow the most efficient in th world as they still had voters waiting in line at 7pm and by 10 they were announcing a winner... Right...

 

[LLbean]

Crystal if you feel like waiting then follow your gut

 

[crystal443]

Its a shame there can't be a fair vote Do you still have alot of family back there Liz?

I'm just thinking things will be rushed from the appointment to cd1 because I'd be due for AF right around there..and I don't want to start until we have a good protocol in place, I'd be p*ssd if I agreed to a stimmed cycle that fails again and end up doing a Natural IVF cycle anyway you know what I mean? See how it goes I guess

Morning everyone ,have resorted to wrapping my boobs up nice and tight and guess wot ,no more pain ,def think its hormonal and off course I googled it and yea it's a sign of the menopause Praying for all my lovely ltttc friends ,love you ladies

 

[Milty]

Oh Bmom it's seems a bit early for that

 

[LLbean]

Bmom get a sports bra... No way it's menopause

 

[LLbean]

Crystal... Yes all my aunts and uncles are there and their families... Only two cousins are here, the other 10+ are there, and their kids etc

 

[Bravemom]

Liz and Milty ,thanks you love you ladies

 

[Milty]

Bmom do you have any sisters?

 

[peacebaby]

Oh Bmom I'm agree with Milty & LL. Have you tried the sports bra? I think your body has been through a lot of detox with your incredible weight loss so that could be related. But I hope you'll go easy on yourself now, we can't have you over-dieting!

Crystal, your fear and mine are the same Its weird that the one thing you wait so long for and work towards is the thing you fear most. I reached the point of fear where I felt safer with the bfn. But take heart, this treatment has worked for 100's and there's no reason why it won't work for you too.

I am on everything for immunes except the steroid and will stay on it until my dr is satisfied that my immune retests are good enough. I have to take low dose aspirin (from bfp only), clexane, vit D, fish oil, extra folic acid, calcium, prenatal, resveratrol, progesterone daily and have an intralipid Iv every 3 wks I also have to drink nettle leaf tea 2x daily so I'm up to my ears in immune meds! It is nerve wrecking because an immune flare can happen without me knowing about it. So yes it is very much a watch and wait game...

HGH - I've seen it mentioned vaguely but I've never heard it being recommended to immune ladies by any of the dr's. I will post a question on Dr Bravermanns forum for you, lets hear what he says. Though I suspect it may also strengthen the immune system? I know most recommend resveratrol it is a safe anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. I must say I think it helped me.

If you're feeling more comfortable with Dec then I'd say go for the postponement. I postponed my immune cycle because I wanted to feel better prepared and know that I was ready for it all. It was the best thing I've done, it gave the supplements a chance to work and I enjoyed being stress free! Plus I think instinct is there to guide us! Do what you feel is right for you.

Still keeping all limbs crossed that you won't need the IVF xxx

Bmom do you have any sisters?

I do sweetie ,she's a few years older than me

 

[Bravemom]

Def not no I have put on four pound in the last three weeks but I don't care I am eating three healthy meals a day and three hourly walks a week ,lots of water and fruit and also started today some vitamins and minerals to help improve my immune system so it's all good and I feel great how are you sweetie ?

 

[peacebaby]

Much healthier hope you feel better soon. I'm ok thanks

 

[Bravemom]

Morning girls

Peace-Thanks..I honestly don't know what I'd do without you , FS was thinking since I have low AMH then I'd naturally be low in HGH so he's mentioned adding it before but I've usually backed away from it I really don't know alot about it, I go back and forth about November I guess it will depend on how I feel after the appointment with the protocol that he puts in place He'll be just back from a conference on immunity and low AMH etc so hopefully he'll have something different to try

I heard of resveratrol before maybe Liz takes it? I'm not sure I've seen it in Australia tbh but everything else I'm on except intripilids and progesterone I think a BFN is way more comfortable then a BFP, I'm a bit angry and sad that even that has been ruined by infertility You're giving me hope that this can work though

Liz- Its difficult when most of your family is in a another country, especially when the country is having issues

Milty- Good morning, how are you feeling today?

Bmom- no way its menopause Your cycles are still so regular etc. I think as someone said your body is still adjusting to the weightloss

 

[crystal443]

I wonder how Jen made out at her 12 week scan?
