Thanks! I'm hoping that I don't have to either, but my RE has already recommended it. He says that he would excise the endo versus lasering them off like my OBGYN did since I still feel some pain. We'll see. I'm trying to stay positive because it can be VERY frustrating.

How have you been doing?

 

[laustiredttc]

i know hun it can get sooo frustrating. My body is sending me round the bend right now. Cd12 and i am spotting. At first it was brown and now it is pink. I just dont know what to make of it? i had a lap/dye oct so just hoping its not the op that has messed with my cycles?

 

[Praying4bump]

Could it be ovualtion spotting? I noticed I had light spotting around that OV a month or two after the surgery. If it continues I would definately call your doctor.

It's the worst feeling in the world to feel like your body is betraying you. I'm wishing you the best.

 

[laustiredttc]

honestly that makes me feel a bit better hun just knowing that i am not the only one. The spotting has stopped today so will carry on bd'ing and hopefully catch the eggy fx

i just wish my body would work the way its supposed too.

 

[Praying4bump]

Lol! Me too!!

 

[laustiredttc]

ok so been getting pos opks but only highs on cbfm, arrrrrrrrrrgh god damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stupid body, stupid cbfm, opk fuc*ing bd'ing, ttc fertility shi* why, oh why cant it ever be simple? Honestly i think my life is cursed so that everything i do takes twice as long as anyone else because i always have to work for things alot harder than everyone else, damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the rant ladies, just needed to get it off my chest before it suffocates me

 

[Praying4bump]

It's ok laustiredttc...this is the best place to vent your frustration! I'm sorry about that...what cbfm? I also feel like amongst the people in my life, I seem to have the longer path to take to get certain things that I want.

Today is CD 7 and I'm supposed to OV between CD 12-14 so I have to buy opk's this week.

Hey ladies, my hubby and I have been TTC our #1 for 14 months now and my insurance company has finally approved me for IVF!! They have denied me to have this procedure for the past 4 months, and I have had 6 failed IUI's and another one that worked but ended in a miscarriage. So I am hoping and praying that this one shot we have at IVF works and I don't have another MC.

 

[Praying4bump]

kay0610: That's awesome that your insurance is covering it! You're lucky, my ins won't cover it at all and I don't think DH will either. We are prepared to pay for it out of pocket this time next year...depending on what our RE says about our test in a few weeks.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[laustiredttc]

think thats the road we're going down as well girls. we will find out whether we qualify for it after xmas.

pray, cbfm stands for clear blue fertility monitor. i also use the cheap internet opk's. Tell ya it all adds up.

great news kay on your insurance giving you the go ahead. fx it works huni

 

[Praying4bump]

Thanks. I'm also going to buy opk's tonight because I'm supposed to be Ovualting this weekend. Hopefully you will qualify for it too. I'm praying that we find out what's going on after my ultrasound this week and it's a simple fix...I'm preparing my mind for IVF though.

 

[laustiredttc]

what day are you going in hun? i Hope that you get some good news fx

 

[Praying4bump]

My appt is on Thursday. I can't tell if I'm really OV or not or if I'm not ov properly. OPK's in the past have turned pos and stayed pos for 7 days and my bbt temps go up and I feel what I believe is OV pain...but I can't help shake the feeling that something is wrong. Up until a few months ago I NEVER felt OV pain. Now i feel it several times a month. Last night and this morning I felt pain on both ovaries and back pain on my right sides, this morning it was mostly on my right ovary in the front and the back on my right side but today is on CD 7. So, needless to say something is obviously wrong.

 

[laustiredttc]

it would be great if we had our own at home ultrasound machine to check what was going on. Oh and also a little printer connected to it, printing off the details as it sees them. Dont ya just love wishful thinking

I hope it goes well for you hun. Try not to worry too much. I think, because we are used to hearing neg things we kind of come to expect them. Sending loads and loads of pos thoughts your way

 

[TooExcited]

Hello Ladies - long time no speak!

I hope you are all well and feeling positive this month.

I'm sorry I have been away for so long. The miscarriage hit me really hard and since then I've been back to the hospital for a lap in Oct 12 (given the all clear - all looks fine!). Consultant told us to keep trying for another 4 months before our next apt. I went away all positive that there was no physical reason for us not to be preggers...

4 months later, still no joy we went back to the hospital. We discussed where I was up to etc and his recommendation was to put us forward for ivf. That knocked me for 6 a little as I was expecting to try clomid or something first but he didn't think that would help me so IVF it is! We get 2 cycles funded on the NHS so I have to pray that one of them hits the spot! We have our next apt on 10th April so I am focusing on that date and am getting myself as healthy as possible by then. DH and I have started squash and are playing twice a week and I've started a fertility yoga DVD by Mercedes Ngoh and am doing that twice a week too. I now leave work by 6pm at the latest (I'm a bit of a workaholic so I know I need to break that cycle) and have given up crisps, chocolate, sweets and biscuits! I've also stopped all alcohol. I wasn't drinking much but I'm trying to keep my blood sugars as stable as possible. Oh and I've also switched my preconception vitamins from pregnacare to the zita west ones.

The hardest part now is getting DH to believe me when I say he can only have 4 units of alcohol a week... We need those swimmers to be fighting fit too!

Anyway, enough about me, I'd love to hear how you are all doing

Big hugs to you all

Carolyn

Hey Carolyn, gosh sounds like there has been alot going on for you recently hun. Try not to be scared about the IVF just think of it as extra insurance I have just miscarried myself huni at 5 wks +5 on the 4th march. We were absolutely gutted as it had taken 20 months for us to conceive. So we now are waiting for our app in aug to be referred for ivf and well i'm just going to relax till then as i dont think i have any reserves left to be any more emotional about it all.

You will have to let us know how you get on hun and what they say at your appointment. It's good that you are taking care of yourself as this will help increase your chances of the ivf working. Also i am doing acupuncture atm and i believe this is what helped me to conceive after so long but i believe its meant to be fantastic when combined with ivf as it really does increase your chances of having a successful ivf and pregnancy.

Good luck hun, again keep us posted on how you get on
