TTC #1 and over 30

[bakingbabe]

Oh, twag, I'm sorry you feel like that! I don't want you to go but I respect your decision. I hope you won't need to ever know these things. I'll keep following your journal though.

Kelstar,
I had a lap done back in Dec and I would do it over again in a heartbeat, the recovery was a few days and I had a bout 2 weeks of bloating. I have stage 3 endo and it messed up my right tube and left ovary so I do know some of your pain. Let me know if you have any questions about it and I will answer as best I can.

 

[Twag]

I am going to keep following as I have become attached to you ladies and I need to know you all get your BFPs but I probably will be a silent stalker as really I don't know anything about all this stuff but I will be providing & when required

Kel-hang in there.

Twag - I totally understand - I never thought I'd be one of the girls talking about all this stuff - unfortunately I think it's more common for those of us in our 30's to need a little help. I agree with baking that I hope you never have to find about about fertility specialists and treatments- I sure never wanted to either. Please keep stalking and let us know when you get your bfp - very soon I hope!

Sorry about your HSG Kel

Twag - I get it, but do also hope that you'll swing by once in a while I think this thread just really turned into more of an "assisted conception" thread lately. We haven't been TTC for a super long time either, but discovered our issue fairly quickly.

Baking - sending over some good vibes to you!!

Kelstar - hello! I had a lap in 2011 (due to pelvic pain from severe endo)... might be worth getting one done just to see if you have any issues there. I haven't had any luck, but I have come across several people on BnB who have gone on to conceive shortly after their laps. It took me about a week to recover, but I had lots of adhesions and two big endometriomas removed, plus my ovaries were stuck together. My friend who had a lap but didn't have anything 'done' had a much faster recovery though!

Twag - sorry to see you leaving, but all the best in getting your BFP and hope you don't have to find out what we're all talking about!

I'm waiting to O and hoping it won't happen till at least the end of this week as hubby is away for work till Wednesday!

Cyst shrunk but not quite enough. Boo! And now my lining is too thin and he's worried that stopping now would not give me a good enough chance to shed it so one more week of birth control pills for me and another u/s on Monday.

What Luna said!

 

[bakingbabe]

yeah, boo but it's one more week not a lifetime. I can hang in there for one more week. At least, I think I can. And talking to him (not the other lady doc) was way more reassuring. He told his plan for IUI - double IUI after the trigger shot, progestrone for 2 days, and a beta test 2 weeks later. So I know there will be something occurring sometime soon.

I totally thought I posted that in baking's journal then was wondering where my post went

Great that your doc was more reassuring boo about the cyst but great attitude there

Thanks Ladies you know what you are such a great bunch of girls that I can't leave I need to stick with you and offer support where I can

 

[bakingbabe]

love your quote, twag! And I'm so glad you're sticking around!

 

[Twag]

Thanks it kind of calms me when I read it

Hi girls! I'm away all week at a work conference so just hoping I don't o. I don't think I have yet so that's good. Hubby didn't end up doing SA last week because of our dtd timing being wrong for it, so he's doing it today. I'm not there to help him but I think he'll be alright.

How is everyone else? Hope you're having a good week!

 

[AuCa]

Hey Lily, have fun at the conference (hope it's at a nice place)! And fingers crossed for the SA

I'm just waiting for our consult on Monday. I'll give an update after that

 

[bakingbabe]

Hi girls,

Lily, I hope you have a good time at the conference. I'm sure DH will be fine.

Auca, is the consult with the other IVF place? Good luck on Monday!

Afm. I just waiting til the u/s on Monday am.

 

[AuCa]

Good luck to you too Baking! When is your appointment? Ours is right in the morning luckily. Yes, it's the consult with our local clinic. I think that we'll probably go with them, since the logistics are just hard for us otherwise (having to do all these SAs etc). I just hope the doc is not a total jerk (I've heard conflicting stories about him).

 

[bakingbabe]

Mine is 9:00 central time. I got it moved up from 4:30 so I'm happy about that.

I hope you like the doc on Monday! Fx'ed that he isn't a total jerk.

 

[Goldfish]

Baking and Auca - good luck for your appts on Monday!
Lily - Hope hubby's SA goes well! I'm still waiting to O too.

Today I got a call from the fertility centre - they're processing my IVF referral/agreement forms and will let me know next week about the next steps. On one hand, I'm happy that IVF could happen quite soon and it looks like the NHS will fund it, but on the other hand, I can't believe I'm at this stage of my TTC journey. Also I'm desperately trying to put on weight so I can make their minimum BMI requirement so feeling rather emotional!!
