TTC sucess after laparoscopy

[lioness168]

Sorry to hear the bad news wish2b . I can only imagine how devastated you must be right now as I know how hard it is normally without what you are going through . You are in our thoughts, anytime you need to talk, we are here.



Cazhd, yes it has been quite a marathon this cycle....especially having 3 pos OPK tests and DH being very unwell, we are still going so to cover all bases. If we don't fall this month...it certainly isn't through lack of trying .

Fingers crossed...

Fingers crossed for you lioness, sending you lots of

Hi ladies! Fingers crossed for all of you!!

I am really confused and hopful and tearful. lol. I never got my period. My doctor told me I didn't have enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy. He never told me my HCG levels though... he said to expect my peroid on friday or saterday. Well, it never came. So on tuesday I took a pg test and it was a before I was even done peeing. So now I am pregnant. The doctor was wrong.

But now I am all freaked out I don't have enough progesterone in my system and will m/c this miricle! I want this baby so very much! I would go to the docs, but we are switching docs at the moment. I won't be able to see him until next friday, the 17th. I am 5 weeks today. I have tender bbs and pee every 10 mins. But that's all I have. No sickness or tender nips. I do have cramps like AF every hour or so with watery CM (sorry TMI). I am worried since I have no sickness that my progesterone is too low...

sorry for ranting like this. How is everyone doing?

Wish2bmama - congratulations!!!!!! I am so sorry your has come with a lot of worries. Try not to worry too much - I know that is hard! but many people don't get sickness, especially early on. A girl I am friends with on here had hardly any symptoms at all throughout her first trimester but everything was absolutely fine. Are you able to speak to a doctor on the phone at all? I have everything crossed for you that it works out - keep us posted - and don't apologise for ranting - that is what we are here for!

wish2bmama that is great news, congratulations on your and i'm sending you plenty of sticky

 

[lioness168]

Congratulations on your Wish2b!!!!!!!!! Wishing you a H&H pregnancy

 

[lioness168]

Oh...and I am experiencing extremely sore nipples at the moment which I have never had before. Could this be a sign? I guess we'll find out in a couple of days time. How many days after ovulation did you first test Wish2b?

Fingers crossed

 

[wish2bmama]

Thank you ladies! This forum really helps me a lot!

Sprat, I think I can call the new hospital and see if I can at least get a nurse on the line. I think I will try that when they open.

Lioness, I tested at 10 dpo with a 20miu test and got a very faint Then I kept taking them every morning to make sure the lines were getting darker and not fainter. Tender bbs were my first sign! Hope it's a for you Lioness!

Congrats Wish hope everything works out wonderful for you. FXXX all is well.

wish2bmama congrats on your Don't let a doctor's negativity overshadow this wonderful news!!!

I switched doctors at one point early on in first pregnancy as he just didn't 'get it'. So I hope you find a fantastic new (female) doctor.

Tender nips and continuos peeing are definitely symptoms!!!

Take care hun and enjoy being pregnant.....

 

[lioness168]

Well my nips are very sore (breasts not sore at all) and today I have felt nauseous and been vomiting. Last night I had a bit of heartburn. I also have an increased sense of smell which makes me feel sick. I do not know if I'm coming down with a bug as DH was sick recently...or maybe this month is going to be the month. Fingers crossed its the second reason.

How is everyone else going?

 

[wish2bmama]

keeping them crossed for you Lioness!

 

[lioness168]

I am struggling with my emotions at the moment and I am not sure if this is the right thread for it. I think I just need some time out for a little while. Thank you all for your pre and post op support during the difficult and then scary time with the laparoscopy. Maybe we will all soon be able to give our "Success after laparoscopy" stories soon. Wishing you all the best xo

Lioness got my fingers crossed for you.

Lioness did your clomid make you feel any different. I'm cd 15 and i was mad 13 and 14, so irritable and no patience, dh found this highly amusing as i so wasn't myself. I said he should think himself lucky that i wasn't moody and nasty to him seen as we've been away a romantic weekend. Well i ovulated yest so hopefully we've done enough. DH made a sweet comment today and he really believes this is our month, i don't like to think about it as i just end up feeling even more down at the end of the month.

to u all

 

[lioness168]

Well, I'm absolutely devastated at the moment, its not suppose to be like this . Looks like AF is here AGAIN. DH and I did absolutely everything we could this month to get our BFP and to no avail. I do not know what else we can do, we left no stone unturned this cycle. Hope you guys have better luck with your BFPs this month. Sorry if I have been a bit emotional lately...perhaps its the Clomid or just the constant disappointment of no BFP. I think I'm loosing it

 

[Cupcake Queen]

Awww.....Lioness - sorry to hear arrived


I can't recall but has your DH been tested? I know exactly where you are at emotionally - especially post-lap - feels like it should all fall into place now as you have had lap. And when it doesn't - it's so shattering.

But the only way is onwards and upwards. Perhaps talk to FS? Get DH tested if he hasn't been already............because for me - that one little test has answered a lot of questions.

Here if you need to talk.

Take care of you.

 

[lioness168]

Thanks Cupcake, I appreciate your support and understanding . I agree it does feel like it should all fall into place now that I've had lap. And when it doesn't - it's so shattering - couldn't have said it better myself. When I first saw AF appear and the BFN I couldn't understand why we didn't get our BFP until someone said, even if you do everything right...you still only have about a 20% chance of conceiving. So I guess that must be the same for us (even though I thought we were doing everything to increase the odds). Thanks for your guidance. DH had a SA around April this year and everything seems good...not excellent, but good. The thing I was concerned about is I don't know if he had an antibody test done like you guys did. Is that a special test or part of the general SA? How are you going? Been thinking about you of late. What does a geneticist do?

Lioness

Hope you are feeling better today

You are right - with everything going perfect with TTC - you do only have a smallish chance anyways!!! Quite frustrating. But you are doing everything right - just keep that PMA going and it will all work out. Trust me.

The antibodies test was just part of the standard SA at our clinic. Perhaps it isn't always included? Best checking with your clinic/FS to see if they did it.

I have been ok thanks - just plodding along really. Have my head around IVF/ICSI so that is good - and we have had a bit of a long wait for geneticist. Everything going well, I should be starting with fertility drugs/injections next cycle (23 days away). In the mean time we have both been going to acupuncture - with DH going twice weekly!! This month we will just try naturally (using CBFM) and if nothing - we embark on ICSI in a couple of weeks.

We were given the option by our clinic to have our embryo's tested for genetic disorders. This is an optional test that cost $2K and you don't get any back on MBF or Medicare. Basically they take some cells of embryo's at around day 5 and test them for any major genetic disorders. But before they can 'legally' do this - you need to have a consultation with a geneticist.

We have no reason to think there would be anything genetically wrong with our embryo's - but given my dad is adopted, my only sibling hasn't had kids yet and my miscarriage last year was due to a chromosomal issue - we figured why the heck not?!! If we are going to all the trouble of IVF - what's another small test for peace of mind? Just takes a bit of the randomness out. And if they do find any of the embies with an issue - you can then decide to whether you want to use them or not.

Have a great w/end. Don't know about Sydney but Bris is freezing at the moment!

 

[lioness168]

Awww Cupcake, good to hear from you again. I am so happy to hear that things have moved forward for you in a positive way, I am so proud of you as I know how hard it was for you when you first found out DHs SA results .

Thank you for your PMA and your encouragement...I love it...I think it is rubbing off . I feel pretty good tonight again which is good, I feel alot better than I have for ages. As for DH's SA test, we had that done via a GP request form prior to any Gynae/fertility assessment. We are going to ask our specialist (if we can get hold of him - very busy man) when we talk to him next.

I hope this month goes well for you. Having some natural ttc will be good, I will be thinking of you . If you need to progress to next cycle I hope the injections and the ICSI go well...fingers and toes crossed

Very interesting about the embryo genetic testing, didn't know about it before. I can understand why you want peace of mind, especially while it is only another small test, especially if you are going through IVF anyway.

I've just worked my 3 days (10hr shifts) and I have the weekend off....sooooo looking forward to sleeping in and just relaxing. It is pretty cold here, it has been 5 degrees when I leave for work in the mornings (630am). I hope you have a great weekend, and once again, its great to hear how you are going

 

[Cupcake Queen]

Glad to hear you are feeling better Lioness. We have had a great day on the Gold Coast where it was actually quite hot! Nice to go to the beach and get some fresh sea air. My step-daughter is being an absolute sweetie today (generally she always is) - so am feeling very positive today.

I am always here if you want to talk - I have a new journal under LTTTC called ICSI Prep if you (or anyone else) ever want to drop by.

I will still pop in here every now and then to see how everyone is doing.
