Morning guys! How are you all?? I hope that you all have good plans for the weekend? Isn't it a Labour Day weekend in the US? Hope all you US girls have a great one-HA, way to go on those beers, and good to have supportive friends around you!
I also wanted to say HA, that I'm glad you had a productive consult with your RE, and you have a lot of things to think about. My advice to you, after being through it myself, go straight to IVF. It may be more expensive, but it might only need one. Yes, there are more meds involved, but more supervision too and far more monitoring of what is going on. I think that IVF is a HUGE mental leap from IUI, and I know this as I struggled with it too, but once that leap is made, you wondered why you ever farted around with the IUI, as that is the small boy to the IVF's BIG BOY. Go for it-if I knew then what I know now, I would have gone for IVF two years ago, and perhaps had a better chance of success as amh levels would be higher. The longer you leave IVF, the more slim your chances of success. Go for it!
Purple, hun, how are you??? You seem so strong and so sorted. I so admire you. It is interesting that Amanda Holden announced she was three months pregnant recently, which would mean she conceived in May, three months after losing her baby at 8 months. Wow. You've got to give that girl some credit, although she said she is terrified. I guess the point of my long ramble, is that everybody is different, and you do what is right for you. I think there is good sense in the advice to leave it until you feel stronger but if you feel strong enough to go for it, then just do it. My friend did exactly the same, she conceived about three months after an mc and gave birth to baby Thomas nine months later. So, do what feels right, but don't feel you have to wait. Good luck girl!!
Butterfly-hope you catch the egg. So you're having a Bonk Holiday!!!! Ha ha ha! Sorry, that joke would have worked if it was last weekend but I couldn't resist! Good luck with DTD!! Fingers crossed for you!
Manuiti-so sorry that stupid evil hag AF arrived. And so frustrating for you? Did anybody on here say anything about freezing sperm? Completely unromantic, but it will still end up in a much loved baby..... Hope you're okay and hang on in there.
OMM-same as for Butterfly, catch the egg, Chris! It is so typical of the body to catch us out like this, but at least you've caught your peak. Remember the egg will hang around for up to twelve hours so no time to waste! Good luck hun!! Incidentally, what is the monitor like? is it much better than the conventional ovulation sticks? Would you recommend it?? Am intrigued! Thanks!
Macwooly-how are you doing hun? Hope you're feeling okay? Thinking of you.
Hello NorthStar, Twinkle, Desperado, Pad, Lava, Skye, FM and Never and anybody that I may have missed. Have a great weekend! Thinking of you all,
AFM-I have ordered DHEA. The question is, with my low amh, why didn't they tell me to start taking them back in April, in advance of my treatment??? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Oh dear, I'm becoming aggresive and I haven't started taking them yet!! It's the hairiness that I'm more concerned about!
Love, Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
P.S. Anybody know how MA is getting along?
