Updates ladies updates???

My update - cd 24, pregnancy tests negative, opk's were positive for 9 days :-O not really convinced we caught the egg as I got bored of BDing after day 3 of positive opk's. Had some weird bright red spotting yesterday so I went to gp today and I have some cervical erosion, she took some swabs and she sent blood work off to check for pregnancy but I'm pretty certain it'll be a negative

 

[allforthegirl]

Just plugging along. No news is good news for me

 

[ladyluck8181]

Nearly third trimester time for you, my gosh that's flown.

It would appear I am knocked up.......... Again praying for a sticky one this time

 

[allforthegirl]

Oh ladyluck that is great news, I will send you loads of sticky dust your way!!

I had two rounds of Methotrexate in June and didn't work as hcg was over 10k so had to have surgery anyway Your hcg is so low i wouldn't worry about it. My RE said when hcg is under 5k the success rate is 85% and if under 1k 95% so you should be in the clear.

As far as ttc after the shot I am no spring chicken and so my RE gave me rx grade Folate (not folic acid) and said get to it while my eggs are good lol. There is a significant difference between folate and folic acid and I recommend reading up on it when you get a chance. Folic acid is an oxidized synthetic compound and not easily absorbed by the body. It has to go through several processes in the body and eventually broken down and converted in the liver which decreases absorption and isn't as good for you-especially since so many foods are fortified with it now.

Folate on the other hand is absorbed in the small intestine and converted immediately. There are several companies that make "folate" supplements that have high absorption rates but of course the best most easily converted sources are from the whole foods that contain it.

Good luck and eat your veggies!

Thanks Summer, keeping everything crossed for this cycle for you. You are in my prayers

Thanks Rachel, I keep getting queasiness and I have mouth ulcers but no sore boobs yet! I feel sick with worry, I just can't relax and I don't feel confident at all. I've got a scan at 6 weeks so only a week and a half to wait but it feels like a lifetime away.

Last run for you, try to enjoy your last 10 weeks, easier said than done though!

And allforthegirl - I love the name you've picked, it's lovely for your little dude

Well... Little update.
Day 12 follicle check today and had to cancel the rest of my treatment :/ too many follicles. Have one biggie on the right and 3 biggies on the left!! Apparently my ovaries are in great working order lol.

We were given the option of bd on our own and see what happens or try to avoid which will put us at February before our next treatment

Not sure what we will do yet. Hate these decisions

summer So are they worried that you could have quadruplets? I have a friend that has had just as many and still tried and it didn't work for her. So if this was me I would still try. Again that is me. GL with your decision.

Yeah FS gave us a 25% chance of a bfp which to me seems low. But she also said if it's a bfp we are at high risk of multiples.

At this point I'm thinking we'll take our chances. This has been dragging on long enough with zero success. DH has super counts so that's a bit of a concern (ironically lol). We've also been briefed on our options if it were to end up as quads (highly unlikely even with 4 follies though) :s

Hello everyone. I'm not sure anyone would remember me, my methotrexate experience was 2 years ago now, Maybe a little more. It was the darkest time of my life, but her I am pregnant finally and over it as best as someone like me can be! I still get anxiety over my health and first tri was very hard as I made the decision to stay the hell away from early pregnancy units and midwives unless I had any pain, I got told off when I finally saw a midwife at 10 weeks so I could get my 12 week scan but my instincts were right!

Good luck to all xxxxxx

 

[allforthegirl]

Well I am glad that everything is going well for you!!

 

[happigail]

Thank you lady!

 

[JPARR01]

hey Happi! So happy to hear this news!!!

 

[happigail]

Ahhh Hello lady! At the time this thread saved my sanity. To not be alone was a true gift.

That pregnancy changed me forever and I'll never be fully the person I was before, but I'm soooooo much better than I was and after I give birth I'm prepared for another hormone blast and will be ready and prepared!
