Hi jeanjean and lovekin, welcome to the group

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mobaby, sorry about your garage and thanksgiving. Are you going to start on BCP soon?

Lizzie, sorry AF was painful. I am trying not to think about the outcome too much or I'd drive myself nuts! . I say make DH works for those lights! You deserve it .

Comfy, it's easy for someone else to say to accept things and move on. Reality is that is not a small/easy things to do. I still cry once in a while not as much anymore but I do let myself feel sorry for myself and feel worried if things don't work out what do we do? etc. So, take your time and take it day by day. Some things are just out of our control and there are nothing we can do about it. I hope you are feeling better after the spa and girl weekend.

JeanJean, welcome!!! I think there are a few first timer here. I am one of them!! When are you going to start stim?

Lovekin, welcome!!! 3 more weeks before January .

AFM, nothing much is going on with me. Waiting for my ultrasound and bloodwork in 10 days . I did email my nurse and freaked out a bit regarding AF. I didn't usually take BCP so I freaked out when this cycle AF was very very light. I spotted for 3 days then a couple days of light flow. Very light. It didn't even fill a thin pad. This was different when I was on a different BCP a couple of months ago. So thankfully the nurse told me that it was normal since my lining was thinned out due to BCP. I am a little anxious for the BW and U/S result next week. I hope that I no longer have cysts and my lining is not too thin/thick so I can finally start stim and the whole IVF process.

Hope everyone else is well!

MoBaby, when we first found out we thought surgery may be an option so we met with a urologist and looked into my DHs medical history. He was born with only one vas deferon and had a common surgery as a baby to help him drop which blocked the other vas. The urologist told us there would be too much scar tissue to do a reverse vasectomy like surgery. I'd still be interested in meeting with a different urologist to see though so maybe we will do that after January. Being able to conceive future children naturally would obviously be ideal and so much cheaper!

 

[MoBaby]

That's pretty much mike my dh... He had torsion on the left side and they fixed that and then a hernia on the right but his traticle was involved so both were tacked down. We are pretty sure he has a blockage but since it's from surgery and so long ago there is too much scar tissue and time lapsed for surgery to be an option. Urologist refused to work him up properly though without a big chunk of money down so we take our chances and do fresh samples.

Ilovetomatoes bcp will be with next af which according to calendar is jan 4th and will do 2 weeks then start stims mid jan

 

[star25]

Ilt The wait is torture isnt it, fingers crossed all goes well and does that mean you will be starting stimms in ten days?

Ive got a week to nurse consultantion for fet, also will ring tomoro and ask for scan to check for cysts etc Sonia can start provera to get af on the way as already on day 35 today, drives me mad!
Can then book scratch for day 21 and start fet when af arrives after that

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mobaby, less than a month now!

Star, yes...I am getting antsy for my u/s and b/w. Hopefully if I do still have cysts, they have a solution for it. My Stim start on Jan 2nd for 11 days. So ER should be mid-January, test date should be on 1/28 considering everything will go smoothly. Will you do another u/s a few days prior to Stim or only 1 u/s?

 

[star25]

Hope all goes to plan for you, I wont be stimming as having a fet, have a scan on first/second day of af then take it from there, think it's tablets and progesterone pessaries and make sure lining etc is all good then the transfer of a beautiful embie
Just hope time hurries up!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Star, I totally forgot you are doing FET! Sounds much simpler than fresh

 

[star25]

Hoping all goes smoothly, af is always late for me but they said I can take provera as dont want tobe waiting too long!

 

[Comfycushions]

Lizzie-4.30 in the morning, good grief! As bare minimum you should be getting your Christmas lights!

Hi jeanjean and lovekin, welcome.

Hi everyone else too!

Had a great weekend. Back to work tomorrow, boo.

Need to catch up on this thread, just thought I'd share with you girls my appointment with my new re. Dh and I liked him a lot! He was very upfront. Not beating around the bush. Straight to the point. He has a very different approach to IVF he wants to do for me. He said I do have low ovarian reserve, obviously, but since I am young, age is on my side and the eggs I do have will be of good quality. He wants to do more of like a mini-ivf. Start on day two, no surpression at all, be on Femara for however many days and then low dose of Follistim and Menopur. He says giving such high meds really affects quality of eggs, and we don't want that.

It's really all about quality for me at this point and it's okay if I only produce a few follicles, as long as they are great ones. FX!

I asked if I should have any other testing done before we start. He wants me to do an endometrial biopsy/scratch day 21 of my next cycle and then start femara on day two of the following cycle!!! Looking like end of January for me.

 

[lizzie78]

Beneath, that is really positive news. Hopefully this new approach is going to make the difference for you

In other news my outdoor lights are on order Ultrasound this friday so bit nervous as usual but hopefully all will be clear and that will be the final hurdle down. Feels like things are getting closer all of a sudden.

[MoBaby]

Beneath that sounds like s good plan.
Izzie fx for you! I have u/s Friday too. Things are getting closer. Jan 2015 is just a few weeks away.

 

[FirstTry]

I was hoping I could join. Hi Mobaby :wave: (we know each other from ttc our first babies).

I'm working on my second attempt at baby #2. First attempt resulted in no genetically normal embryos. The eggs were retrieved and frozen 4 years ago, so I was overconfident. Anyway, I still need to catch up on your stories.

Good luck to everyone!

 

[star25]

Glad your appointment was positive beneath, before you know it you will be starting your meds!

Firstry, welcome to the thread

Hi to everyone else, nothing to report here, just waiting for appointment next Tuesday

 

[JeanJean]

Just wondering - Did anyone on here have issues with their lining while taking clomid? if so - was just wondering how the lining responded to the ivf medication?

Thanks!

Starting to get exited as January is getting close

 

[beneathmywing]

Lizzie -- Thank you! Hope it does make a difference also. Good luck on your ultrasound Friday. =)

Mobaby -- Thanks!!

Firsttry -- Welcome!! Good luck to you as well.

Star -- Thanks, hun!!

 

[star25]

Jean, I was only monitored first cycle of Clomid so unsure but my lining was good and thick throughout the ivf scans x

Yes, my lining thinned on Chlomid (I think 7mm best), but was nice and thick during IVF transfers (12mm I think). Good luck!
