The LTTTC thread for everyone.

Hey girls! I was out of town for a couple of days again, taking advantage of the last bit of summer!
Great to hear from you Ready! Anyone heard how crystals appt was? I'm on my phone and it can be tough to read all the posts.
So I had my first scan today, of course now I'm more freaked out than ever! So I think I'm 5w5d but could be 5w3d. The tech warned me that they might not be able to see much because of how early it is. She saw a nicely shaped gestational sac but that's it. So now I'm terrified that I have a blighted ovum. I have been glued to dr google and flip between being ok with it and devastated! I am supposed to go back in 10-14 days supposedly.

Hope everyone is doing great and bigto all!!

Jen - don't worry there isn't much to see yet...

step away from google

 

[Jennifer01]

Hahaha I know you're right, I'm the first one to tell other people to get off google, and without it I'd prob be fine because the tech seemed optimistic! But I'm powerless to dr google's siren song

Hi Ladies

Jen- Hang in there, there really isn't much to see just yet STEP AWAY FROM DR.GOOGLE I can't wait for your scan in a few weeks, it'll all be fine!!

Ok so I had my appointment and it went pretty well I'll be on prednisolone from cd2 every cycle to keep my immune system suppressed, because my immune problem is a broad autoimmune defieciency, I tend to have random things all over the place like, I'll get shingles out of the blue, or eczema when I ovulate, wierd rashes, low grade fevers, its affected my kidneys etc etc. so he feels that the key is suppressing my immune system as a whole. He said he didn't think its was NKC but more that my immune system attacks my ovaries before my eggs are released if that makes sense and if it does fertilize and implant it only lasts a short time.

He had the report from my scan in May and he said it was a typical immunity mmc. There was a large sac and empty which is common in immunity problems, I have the Clexane but he doesn't want me to start it until a + test because he said he doesn't want to disrupt my blood cells more then he has too and he really wants to try suppressing my immune system first but because my kidneys are always forming small blood clots and stones he thinks this could also be a preoblem that Clexane can fix. The other is the baby aspirin which I'm on now so I just continue that.

Oh and my weight was perfect(thankfully!!!) but that I'll have to be careful with the steriods No sh*t sherlock I asked about testing and he said there's no point he's not looking for NKC and my tests always come back with raised white cells to some degree so there's nothing to test for, the down side is that I'll be more suspectible to viruses etc so I'll need to watch that but I have to anyway so no big deal

Ready- so glad to see your post!! Glad your doing so well and I totally understand you can't come on all of the time No worries

Peace- Glad I have a plan now I feel comfortable trying again

Milty- Disney sounds fab...its been years since we were there, but it is such a great place to take kids

Suki- Thank you, I'm still jealous you went to France...how lucky

 

[Milty]

Crystal I'm so excited for you...I love it when there is a plan in place

So do you go ahead and start now since you already O'd? Or wait for next CD2

 

[crystal443]

He said start now for sure but he prefers cd 2 and he said to start testing around 8DPO so if there is a BFP to try and catch it early, I do struggle to test early though, I find it hard on the head

How are you doing?

 

[LLbean]

Crystal sound like a great plan!!! I hated prednisone but you need it so it will be a good thing

Keeping my best thoughts for you!

 

[H0pefulagain]

So glad you have a clear plan in place now, Crystal! So excited for you!! Can't wait to hear how things progress.

 

[crystal443]

Liz- thanks I hate taking prednisone too but if it helps then I'll try it

 

[Milty]

I'm gearing up for O and I'm slightly paranoid. I have never had anything wrong with me before and now that I had the cysts I'm over thinking every little twinge. I'm not even really sure I'm having twinges but I'm thinking about them

 

[crystal443]

H0pefulagain- thanks, I feel like all bases are covered now he did say today its only a matter of time until one sticks so I guess that's a good thing

I was actually wondering if you were nervous about ovulating I think that's totally normal Milty I think anyone in your situation would be nervous

 

[Milty]

Crystal I was just readying a book my FS gave me years ago. It said for immunity issues you need heparin, prednisone and baby aspirin. I thought well that confirms it Crystal is in good hands.

 

[crystal443]

Milty- thanks and got the meds now let's hope it works

 

[Milty]

Bmom I know you won't be on for a bit but I wanted to say

Good Morning

 

[LLbean]

Shame you are not here Crystal, I have tons of heparin I won't use lol

 

[crystal443]

Were you on heparin for your IVF cycle? You never know, you might still need it

 

[crystal443]

I still have 2 full boxes of Gonal F in the fridge that's good until 2014, can't believe they gave it too me with such a long expiry and I have a full box of Crinone gel that's never been opened. That's all I have left over, but I am surprised they gave me such a big surplus of Gonal F Now that my dear could get you knocked up..maybe I should figure out refridgerated shipping

 

[Bravemom]

Bmom I know you won't be on for a bit but I wanted to say

Good Morning
