TTC after D&C (Soon)

[Tmb0047]

Thanks kelly....I have been looking in to the soy ISO as a way to avoid having to find a fertility specialist. I think I may give it a go just to see if it will work for me. I'll be stalking you to how they work for you. Do you have issues with ovulation as well?

Tella - it sounds amazing! sending lots of prayers your way and hoping you will get your bfp this weekend

Kelly - as of right now I'm diagnosed with recurring miscarraiges, I took a ton of blood tests over the weekend to check for blood clotting disorders, genetic disorders etc and DH has to do a chromosome test too. We should have those results in about 3 weeks, as they said the genetic tests take a while. Hopefully I will get some answers, as all the previous blood tests revealed nothing and my HSG showed my tubes were fine.

TMB - sorry for your loss hon, we can all relate. It's ok to try natural till the new year and see what happens, do what you feel most comfortable doing.

Ginger - o no hon! Is that the cheapest cost? or the cost for where they sent you to do it? here we have some county owned facilities that do it for a little less than half the cost. I did my hsg out of pocket, one clinic was charging $600 but the county facility charged me $275. I would check around. I would be scared of Ashermans too, I had asked my dr about it after my D &C but he said that he doubted it and wanted to know how I even came across that......i was like ammmm hellloooo....I am the queen of google, I just need to know! Try getting prices from different facilities while you wait on your appeal.

Hello ladies,

How is everyone? My DH asked me a question that I would like you ladies to give your opinion on. He asked would I let him do a At-Home Insemination Kit. I haven't giving him an answer yet, I responded with I will let him know. Do any of you ladies know anything about this?

 

[GingerPanda]

@Mj: They do it in my doctor's office, so I doubt he'd write me a script to get it done elsewhere, since he was going to do it himself! They said $900-$1000... Luckily, if I can get him to code it like he's checking it for Asherman's instead of infertility, maybe the insurance will cover it. Even if he doesn't really think I have Asherman's, it's the same test... So maybe he will play ball! And I normally wouldn't be concerned, but they already saw scarring in my uterus on a regular ultrasound, so we know there IS some sort of scarring!

 

[mj2013]

Ginger - Tell them you can't afford it and ask if there's another place you can go to have it done for cheaper? they should know other clinics too. My Dr wrote me a script to do my hsg elsewhere because I couldn't pay his office fee for it. Hopefully they will play ball, but I would ask anyway, it can't hurt, worst that could happen is they say no

Brighteyez - It's up to you hon, but I'm not too sure I would trust my DH to get a catheter past my cervix into my uterus to inject sperm, plus usually at the doctors office they do a sperm wash first and then inject the clean sperm into the uterus. If he only injected it into the vaginal canal then it's kinda the same thing as him depositing it during BD

 

[brighteyez73]

MJ - I am not allowing him to put the in my uterus but I will allow the speculum, catherer and syringe on and around my cervix. The cervix is his safe zone LOL.

Brighteyez, sounds interesting.... I WISH I could find the link but when we were ttc after our loss I came across a lesbian board and the different things they did for insemination. Some had great success with using preseed (with the applicator) and then having the donor sperm put directly in to the instead cup (just have DH deposit right in there) and then shoving everything right up on to their cervix and having an orgasm with that in. I think I'd try that first.... Good luck either way!

MJ - I am not allowing him to put the in my uterus but I will allow the speculum, catherer and syringe on and around my cervix. The cervix is his safe zone LOL.

brighteyez - I say go for it then!

3minions - how have you been? it's been so long

 

[3Minions]

I've been checking on you girls every day and thinking all the happy thoughts I can muster for you guys.
I'm doing great. 22w and so far so good.

 

[Tmb0047]

brighteyez - Sorry, wish I knew your story better. I tried to read back a bit but didn't find any reasoning behind the insemination. Why is it that you need to go the insemination route?

 

[Tella]

bright, I would also just allow intra vaginal insemination, iui us far to dangerous for uterine infection and cramping. I would say give it a go, why not right? I have used the softcup method when dh doesn't want to bd amd I want spermies

mj, hope your tests come back sooner than 3 weeks. How's the tww treating you so far? You have had me considering testing early today then I just rush to bathroom to pee before I can get up the steps to the bathroom with my hpts

tm, thanks girl. It's been a hard one but so grateful for all these awesome ladies. Sorry to hear that you also battling, ive used soy and helped. Give it a try you might just be lucky. Have you considered looking at ovarian drilling?

3minions, wow 22 weeks!!!! Time is flying by so quickly, soon we will be seeing some new bnbers join us in this world

ginger, I also asked about ashermans and thanks to the hysteroscopy it pointed out the Fibrosis over my top of my cervix and they could break it up which caused lighter af for me. My fs is great with that, they never say it's for Infertility just diagnosis purposes and then they cover it.

 

[Kelly9]

Tm I don't have problems ovulating except that I ovulated around cd 19. I'm taking soy to produce a strong egg and hopefully have me O a few days sooner. I'm perfectly healthy.

Mj I see. We had all the testing done when we first went to the clinic hsg for me and all sorts of blood work and genetic testing for DH but we knew when we were referred there that it was cause his sperm weren't that great.

Tella when are you testing?

 

[CastawayBride]

I used preseed every time I became pregnant, I think its great!

 

[mj2013]

3minions - that is so sweet of you

Tella - OMG, thank God we don't live close by or I would have probably convinced you to POAS by now 1.5 more days and it's test time

Kelly - it's good when you know what the issue is, I hope we find out soon.

Castaway -

 

[Tella]

Kelly i will test tomorrow when im 12dpo, still hoping for a temp in crease but today had a slight drop. Im wondering if the sneeky estrogen that im taking without progesterone isnt the culprit for my lower temps as my normal post o temps are above 37.05. Hehe thought about it this morning that i should have taken both not just one

I will try it next cycle if there is one, but still positive for this one!!! Boobies hurt and ovaries was sore last night.

Mj, i was thinking i have loads of cheapies and a bfn wont mean anything on them but i know myself i will still end up squinting at them

 

[brighteyez73]

Tella - Thank you for the encouragement! You ladies are great!!!!

 

[Kelly9]

Best of luck for tomorrow!

Mj hopefully you figure it out and it's something as simple as taking a blood thinner.

We just finished watching the funeral on tv for the 3 fallen members in Moncton. It was beautiful but so sad. Broke my heart to see all those kids having to bury their fathers. I'm way to emotional these days.

Day 2 of soy. Af is super heavy or has been for my normal cycle. I'm guessing this is because of the D&C?

 

[mj2013]

Kelly - yes I hope we find out soon. I heard about the 3 men who were killed, it is really sad

Tella - Are you ready?

Brighteyez - so did you tell DH yes? and will you be trying that this cycle?

I can't believe I have only 2 more months of work!
