Skye....can't believe 10 weeks already Not sure when I will get the results, the paperwork says they may divulge some info there but they will email the results to my GP straight away. I had a sneaky look at my app and I'll be close to ovulation when they scan so hopefully I will get some answers about which side will be O'ing from as I always get the ache/sensation on the right

Never- you are so funny, you made me LOL literally

MA- You are right the devil is busy! Don't fall into the trap, that's just what he wants you do do. I think it's perfectally ok that you let your friend have it, or should we even call her a friend? I agree with McWooly, and God works in so many ways, I truly feel like he sent me to this board and to you ladies for the emotional support that I don't always get other places. Lets face it even though some of us have really great friends unless they have walked a mile in our ttc/infertility shoes they can't relate and although I love my 2 bff's dearly they don't want to listen to me whine and cry all the time, it makes them uncomfy and not quite sure what to say so why put them thru it? The board equiped you with the info you needed to demand the answers to put your mine at ease. I'm sure you prayed about it right? and he answered your prayers and all is well. You keep doing what you are doing, and stay away from negative people who are not rooting for you, you don't need that right now, Amelia is depending on you to be healthy and calm so she arrives healthy and happy. ENJOY your pregnancy, it will be over before you know it and that little girl will be here.

Skye- You do just like MA did be your own advocate even if it means being pushy!!! You have a baby in there and if you need to call them every day several times a day then you do that to get the appointment that you need. Also I will say it's great to be informed but try to remain in a positive place, being pg is alread an anxious time expecially if you have had difficulty in the past, which is another reason why you should be pushy.

Butterfly- I had all my test done first as well and it took my dh a while to go for the SA, it's just a man thing but at least you have made some progress.

HA- That totally sucks and i know you are pissed. I took ganirelix with my last 2 IUI's. sending hugs your way! This is annoying but don't give up, this doesn't mean anything except the Dr. screwed up!

OMM- We all fall off the whatever wagon, I"m on there with you and never and hope I can stay on there but something tells me in the 2ww I will need you guys to tie me down too. Listen to that little voice, there is always a chance!!!!!!

Hey to Lava, Missyt, Dwrg, and purplelou

Have a great day ladies!

 

[Mommy's Angel]

Hi everyone. Just love you all so much!

HA, I'm SO sad about this. So sorry. How flippin frustrating! The good news out of it is that the drugs worked, maybe a bit too much! So stinks that you go through all the hormones only to sit it out and it wasn't because you hyperstimmed. Ugh! Please know I'm very sorry for what happened.

 

[Neversaynever]

No no no...don't listen to the voice that tells you you always have a chance..gets you far too excited

Just sit on the wagon and let it ride. No TWW on here



XxX

 

[tigerlily1975]

Well, sh*t. SH*T!!!!!!

I just got back from my follie check and guess what - I ovulated last night.

No insemination now because it would be a waste of money - the sperm need to be there before ovulation.

I'll have a consult with the dr before the next cycle and they'll probably change my protocol now, add some ganirelix to make sure I don't ovulate on my own again.

F*ck it. I'm going back to bed now.

Oh, bo***cks!! So sorry for you

AFM I finally caught Dh's cold and I gargle with hot water and salt which seems to help. Yesterday I called the NHS hospital and required after my 12 week scan. The stupid admin people didn't process the application for me and didn't book the appt. I was there+ I called both GP and them before. All said we'll contact you. Of course they never did. If they won't book me an appt for the next 2 weeks I dunno what to do. Having a fit to these really sleepy sounding admin people doesn't help. Mb beginning of next week I should just drop by and talk to them in person cause I really need the scan report. My IVF clinic will review my drugs and probably discharge me. Than it's more scary cause NHS has far less control over pregnancies. In fact right now there is a lot of bad press in UK about the fertility and maternity units of NHS. We have the highest statistics of mc and babies dying while in the womb or birth in Europe cause the funding is really tight and clinics just don't follow the pregnancy enough to save lives. They're trying to put a quota on ceaserians. So say if a woman is in a situation where she needs an urgent cesarian and the on call dr is a young specialist who needs an authorisation. Her and bbs life would be at risk while the dr is figuring out if the quota allows it.
Also if you end up with a bad nurse you are in serious trouble. 2 weeks ago a woman lost her baby in my local hospital (Universtity hospital which is 5 mins away from me and we use it for everything else) She was in a lot of pain but the nurse insulted her for making too much fuss and being a bad mother cause she couldn't put up with the birth. She and husband begged to see the on call dr but nurse refused. The baby was tangled with the cord and was breached. I had heard of bad things about that hospital before so I deliberately chose one which is further from me. I can't go private after all the expense of IVF. I dunno if a doula would be worth it, what do they do and how expensive they are. Anyway maybe this talk is for graduates. Girls ignore it if it's not of interest.

Oh my goodness, that's terrible! Unfortunately, it's also not uncommon. You really have to be lucky where you are sent.

 

[Macwooly]

Well I should be ovulating tomorrow and then I am hopping on the whatever wagon as I refuse to countdown the 2WW and I refuse to symptom spot

 

[purplelou]

oh dear - it seems that we may need to install some kind of cage on the "whatever wagon" to keep us all from jumping off lol!

HA - I don't know what to say (and it would probably be censored anyway!)
so

and big loves and to everyone else too xxxx

AFM DH & I saw my GP today and didn't get fob off She is not too concerned with me as apparently my FSH, oestrogen and progesterone in 2009 was excellent and even allowing for me being 2 years older she says the reduction due to age would still have me in the normal to good fertility range Apparently if there had been a major change with my health it could be a worry and change hormone levels. But she looked at my chart for last cycle and she is happy my hormones appear to be ok and are doing all they need to do.

So first step is to repeat DH's SA so we have the forms to sort that. Apparently the hospital we use have had to change their process/procedure as some of the results were inaccurate as they weren't handling the samples correctly so DH's SA results are not to be trusted So we have to phone the lab and book an appointment to drop the SA off and a lab tech will check the sample is adequate quantity and they they run the test within 30 minutes.

Once we have SA's results we have to book an appointment each to discuss it all and then they will decide the next step from there which will probably include re-running my blood work

But she is the type of doctor that will only discuss one step at a time and has told us to just keep doing what we're doing whilst the testing is being done. But I am so pleased she didn't just send me away and say carry on for 3 more months

The SA won't be going in till next week for analysis as he has to abstain from releasing the for a minimum of 2 days before providing the sample but no more than 7 days so once I am no longer fertile we'll sort the sample then.

Part of me hopes all is ok with me but then a part of me would feel so bad if the only issue is DH's SA as I know he will feel responsible. But I keep telling him loads of couples have tests and all their results are ok/good and they still can't have a baby. How I wish this TTC lark was less stressful and emotional.

But thank you all for your support and best wishes

Oh, that's great that the GP was so helpful, makes such a difference when you have confidence in your Dr. I'll keep everything crossed that hubby's tests are fab and you get your BFP soon!

Thank you, You have no idea how much of a divine appointment your words are. I've had a rough couple of days with a friend who also has a cerclage that over the last several months has been so self absorbed she forgets she's been talking to someone who has had an emergent cerclage and has been bragging about her cervical length and how great life is the whole time and who NOW has turned on ME since finding out the other day that her babies are to the stitch. I won't go into it any further, but it's gotten hurtful and I finally broke down in a NOT so Godly way and expressed my "emotions". God always tells us NOT to work off emotion. I'm telling you, I've felt like I need a major attitude adjustment and should have let her wallow in her self absorbed ways and ignored her. Instead I feel terrible guilt for letting it ALL hang out after she told me I was relying LESS on God and Dr.'s and MORE on the women here on the IC thread.

HAD God NOT given me wisdom to be my own advocate or led me to that thread, I believe Amelia would have died before the cerclage was put in at 19weeks. I actually have THE WORST place for medical care unless I'm on top of it. Now I feel like I'm not trusting in God enough and allowing satan to lie with the things this girl has said...not to mention by spewing anger which makes ME look worse than her. Ugh! This girl has 5 kids. I have a son DEAD because of the medical care I received here.

I'm just outa sorts and while I want to be kind to everyone, not sound like I'm self absorbed myself and/or mean, much of the time I'm a screw up!

Please don't say that, you're going through a very emotional time and you need to vent, scream, cry or whatever helps you get through it. We're all here and you go right ahead and cry on our shoulders. In the meantime
