Thin endometrium/womb lining and light afs

[FBbaby]

Oh thank you so much muncho for the offer. I have only just started the journey towards fertility treatment so not at the IVF stage yet, neither clinically nor psychologically, but starting to think about it because if I have problems affecting my ability to conceive, I don't have a lot of time to wait and see what happens.

The irony of our situation is almost laughable! In my case, it is that I am involved in the management of the IVF contract. I have conversed with so many heartbroken patients who have been turned down because one of the partners already has a child from a previous relationship. I don't make the policy, that's the way it is. But I never thought before now that I could find myself in the same position as them (I have children, Oh doesn't). At least I can certainly sympathise!

OMG that is so bizzare. when i 1st joined this forum i took a look at LLTTC and thought thats not for me....now look at me, im living on this site

also when i did the egg donation, i had no idea that one day i would be going thru it..

strange isnt how sometimes you end up in situations where you never thought u would end up...

i really hope you get your BFP..i went to a talk on nutrtion and TTC and its amazing how you forget that by eating healthy can help with everything. so i guess there rae some things that u can do yourself whilst you are on your journey

Hi

I used to have really light af and was recommeded to take co enzyme q10 as it builds up the endometrium lining each cycle, hence making af heavier. I def noticed a difference in af and when I had IVF my lining was thick at each scan.

Good luck xx

that is so true muncho but that's what we have to remember, life is full of surprises, and things can happen when we don't expect them any longer. I was single for 5 years because I never met anyone who I knew I would want to spend the rest of my life with and when I had just about given up, my soulmate came into my life, even more perfect than what I'd wished for!

Thanks Mrs G for the advice. I was in Tesco 20 minutes ago and so the vit, so thought wth, and got them! Do you know what is the recommended dose to take? Is it safe to take in the 2ww wait too? Is it better to take morning of afternoon? Congratulation on your pg, it is always so heartwarming to read about a bfp as a result of IVF.

FB I work for a mental health trust at the moment, but have worked in physical health too. It is weird that we are all in the 'health' industry!
Can I ask, what is conceive plus?
I used preseed when I got preg with my girls and when I got preg this April too, so it does definitely work!!!
I have been a bit slack with other stuff this month (EPO and grapefruit juice etc) so should really start taking it.
Muncho, would you mind letting me know where you get fertility drugs cheaper from? I wouldn't mind knowing for later.
FB glad that it is unlikely that you have Asherman's, it was a bit concern of mine as I seemed to fit the profile completely after having manual removal of the girls placentas.

Thanks for the advice Mrs G, I am currently taking coenzyme Q10 as I was recommended it on the Asherman's site, but have only been taking it for a few days. I got it from Tesco and am just taking one a day, is this right???
FB I believe that you only take it prior to ovulation, but I will double check that.
I also never thought I would be here. I conceived twins naturally really quickly and thought that it would be easy and quick even after losing them. How wrong I was! It just goes to show that you can never predict what will happen in life.
On the upside though like you FB I never thought I would find my soulmate and I did when I wasn't looking for it either!

Sorry more questions. Can I ask you how much it increased your lining to?

FB this 1s too freaky... i was also single for 5 years before i met DH. i was 35 and had given up hope but he def has been worth the wait!!

Chase.. some of them are pharmacies so juts google them and you will find where thye are. But they can deliver.. ignore the prices, thye were for something else

Applied Dispensary/Ferring @ Home... £12.80
Rowlands Pharmacy....................... £14.10
Moss Pharmacy @ Waitrose............ £14.75
Fazeley ...................................... £12.25
Woking Nuffield ............................ £15.86

Thanks Mrs G. Im trying not to self medicate. im seeign the doc on the 12th dec and wil ask him about this

finally ladies. i have been readig about the zita west clinic in london. hmmm they seem really good and have read fantasti reviews. Is anyone taking anykind of supplementts, if so which ones. they have good ones but they are expensive..

chase.... i used to promote seroquel for mental health...this thread is becoming too spooky..can u remind me again whethe u are tryin nautrallu or IVF?


Concieve plus is the ONLY lubricant that is sperm friendly ..its still better to have your own cm, but conieve is the only one that closesy mimics our natural cm. i have heard people say its easier to use than preseed. we use it..i would def buy that over preseed..it only in the UK, is that where u are from??

Wow, lots of advice! I've only had EWCM twice since starting TTC.

I shall try the coenzyme Q10 and consider Conceive Plus. We've been using Preseed up to now.

It's such a relief to touch base with other ladies who have similar issues. I've been finding it so tough lately and getting a bit down about the whole thing. Poor old DH had me sobbing down the phone to him last night - he works away a lot and because of that we can't try again until Jan. I'm finding it much harder than I thought I would.

Anyway, onwards and upwards!

hi Leila
we all know how you feel, i felt so down last week after my lap and now i feel so much better. have you tried EPO ?grapefruit juice?

i have started a thread called which prenatal...maybe you could consider the one i have suggested as it contains the Q10 plus lots of ther things that may help..

you can chat to us anytime on this thread..

 

[Leila Fae]

I've just been shopping and bought some Q10 and some grapefruit juice to add to my supply of agnus castus and Bvits! Will be popping onto the other thread to see what else I can be doing.

What with all this and my usual diabetes medication I'm going to end up rattling like a medicine bottle! Still, if it does the job

 

[muncho]

bril...fingers crossed...

I am trying naturally at the min, but am taking oestrogen to see if it bulks up my lining. I have an IVF initial appointment in January, so I guess I will have to see what happens then. This thread is a bit scary!!!! I am in the UK too and am interested in conceive plus, but have had success with preseed twice, so am interested to see if it is any better.

 

[muncho]

hi chase

i have heard good stuff about preseed, i think concieve is just a new competitor.but it is the only ones that contains calcium and magnesuim ions which mimic the your natural cm..thats what they say..

we too are trying naturally till Jan. im out this month due to the lap , so it december baby or IVF..hopefully ill be ov around the xmas hols so ill be nice and stress free..

im also chaning my diet from tomorrow and hope the acupuncture will help - although i have one tube that is twisted so who knows....

hope the esotrogen works, how will you know, will u have a heavier period? did i read u are about cd 9? ill be starting IVF early jan as long as i can get my first consulation in Dec..not looking forward to this whole process

 

[Chase]

I am not sure how I will know unless I get a heavier af? Is that how quickly they do IVF???? My appt is in Jan so could it be quite soon afterwards that it starts? I am now on cd 11, so am going to be busy for the next few days
Good luck with getting a Christmas BFP, I hope that these few months are lucky for both of us. xxx
