TTC and endometriosis :(

[Coolstar]

Thanks for the embryo transfer info Ladies !! I will look into YouTube videos also.
Heart : From what I read most ladies with endo have less follicular count also (correct me if I am wrong), so what did the doc say about it ? Also is 18mm the good size or not (I have no clue) but I guess it is worth asking the doc all the question.

Thank you so much all of you. I really appriciate your comments and yes tomorrow I will ask my doctor. Pbl thanks for explaing what the terms mean. I had like 3/4 blood tests and they just said its all fine but im still going to ask tomorrow of each ones detail. Its late night now and I just cant sleep. This is really bothering me. Sorry for going on about myself. I hope you all are well. Love. X

Sweetie, you're not going on about yourself! You're in the midst of what is ALWAYS, even in the best circumstances, a difficult and emotionally draining process, and you've had a setback. Naturally you're upset and focused on all this.

I hope you can get good answers tomorrow. Let us know what you find out!

Heart : All of us are in the same position and we can totally relate with each other , so hun you are not going about yourself. Don't stress much since it just adds to the problem (I know it is easier said then done) have a good night sleep and from all of us lots of

Pbl : For once FXed that AF shows soon so that you can start with your IVF .

Gold : It's nice to hear from you after so long. So how is your IVF going on ?

Joining!

My endo was discovered during a laparoscopic hysterectomy to remove a fibroid back in 2009. DH & I have been ttcing since then. 45 dys after I gave up sugar, wheat/gluten, dairy, and meat I became pregnant but miscarried. Although I was sad I was shocked that I even became pregnant. The kind of food I eat really has an impact on my reproductive system.

I'm on the wagon again and following the endo diet with hopes that we'll have success.

 

[pbl_ge]

Welcome, Skimomma! Sorry for your loss. As soon as I found out I'm doing IVF soon, I dropped alcohol and almost all caffeine, which means I'm pretty close to the endo diet, too. Only diffs are that I still eat some soy and I'm not avoiding wheat/gluten. (I simply don't believe everyone is sensitive to it.) I married a vegan, so I eat very little dairy, no meat, and almost no processed foods.

I feel much better, except that I could really use a drink!

pbl - Thanks, your words made me happy!

Cool - Thank you, your comment put a smile on my face.

I went for the scan today worried in the morning. Luckily the doctor did find quite a few follicles. Roughly 26 some of which are small, some 20mm/19mm. They said everything is looking fine so my egg collection is on Monday!
Im so happy but I know its still a long way to go.
How are you guys though?
Love! xx

I'm 8dpo and hanging in there. Nothing new to report except some dull cramps low in my abdomen. We're seriously considering ivf (it would be our second ivf) if we're not lucky the next few cycles. Fingers crossed!

 

[YearningHeart]

Thank you so much ladies for your lovely messages. My embryo transfer will be either on Thursday or Saturday. Im excited but still feeling very nervous, its still few more steps to go before a baby. I really pray I get a BFP and easy pregnancy and I hope the same for all you ladies! xxx

skimomma - Best of luck if you do decide to go ahead with IVF. X

Hi Ladies !! how is everyone doing ?

Pbl : I can see you have started with vitamins before your IVF cycle that's a good thing, did your doc recommend it ? Why is baby aspirin taken ?

Hi Ladies !! how is everyone doing ?

Pbl : I can see you have started with vitamins before your IVF cycle that's a good thing, did your doc recommend it ? Why is baby aspirin taken ?

I've been taking most of these for ages. Here's the rationale:
Prenatals - Obvious
Iron & D3 - Prior deficiencies that go away with supplementation
Fish oil & CoQ10 - There's evidence that both of these can increase the chances of success with IVF. My very science-based RE recommended 600 mg of CoQ10 and was looking into the dosing of fish oil. The CoQ10 may be particular for those over 35--not sure.
Baby aspirin - This helps thin the blood a bit, via reducing clotting. Theoretically it can help make the lining more amenable to implantation. My doc said the evidence that it helps with fertility is not strong, but there is good evidence that anyone over 35 should consider taking it for the heart benefits.

Some of these may need to be stopped after a bfp. Something I keep forgetting to look into.

What's up with you, Cool?

 

[Coolstar]

Thanks for the info pbl . Well I am doing fine. Just waiting that these 3/4 months get over soon so that I can start with my IVF. So any idea when your AF is due ?

 

[YearningHeart]

Hi pbl/cool - How are you?

Iv been so unwell to come on B&B. I had embryo transfer on Thursday and have been feeling very unwell. Bloaty tummy, nausea, chest/abdomen pain. Its been horrible for the past few days. I actually felt unwell after EC. I was this phase to pass fast. Other than that, I am over the moon to have the embryo transfer and I hope I see a BFP and have an easy pregnancy. I hope the same to you all too! xx
