Trying for a baby (12+ M/not straightforward)

angelavdavis

Lovely news Toniq and Nottslass. Fingers crossed for both of you.

Sorry to hear, Becs and Shelly that things aren't so good for you both.

Best of luck all.

I'm waiting for AF which hopefully will arrive Monday so I attend clinic on Wednesday.

Hi all. Got another apopintment with the consultant a week tuesday. I'm starting to get myself a little wound up. It's my first appointment since my HSG (which seems like ages ago) and i'm afraid of what she's going to tell me. The HSG revealed that I'm (more than likely) blocked in one tube so I don't know if she's still going to want to put me on the chlomid, or if they're going to want to do something to unblock me.

I think after finding the HSG rather unpleasant, I'm a bit scared of them going in down there again. I know that's daft, as I'm going to need to "allow them access" a lot in the future, and I've never had any problems going for smears and things before. I guess I've just had a scare and now I'm really nervous for what's going to happen. Chlomid seems like the least painful option and I feel like I'll be dissappointed if something else gets advised. And I know that whatever they advise should be for the best, but I'm deciding the best course of action for myself here!

Hope we hear some good news over the next few days on this thread (we're due some). Good luck girls!

jiblets1 if it's any consolation I found the HyCosy the worst procedure for me during all the investigations (I had a GA for lap n dye so I didn't feel a thing during that!). However the actual treatment for the IVF I didn't find as bad.

Have the dentist this afternoon and new boss starts at work today. Am so not in the mood!

Well HELLO AGAIN everyone!

Thanks for enquiring about me Nottslass, and wishing you & Toniq all the very best for today. Was thinking hard about you at 11.00 (in work so fertility dance not poss I’m afraid!). BIG HUGS to everyone who needs them, and BIG HELLO to newbies who joined whilst I was away.

So where have I been??? Well the whole TTC/IVF thing got rather on top of us. AF was really late and weird so we had to postpone the next UVF cycle (again) and DH I & decided that we needed a break. Part of that was me agreeing to stay off the ‘fertility websites’ as he thinks that stresses me out more – I don’t agree – but that was part of the compromise!

We actually had a raft-load of other probs – Both our jobs were ‘at risk’ (I already just cut down to 4 day weeks, but after July I will lose another 1/3 of my workload, so dunno what will happen then….) although now he knows he will be subject to TUPE, so hopefully will be OK. We discovered some damp probs with our house, had trouble with the car, and loads of other family stuff….so plenty to distract us!

We had a holiday over Easter with DH’s kids & some family & a friend (who has a lot of his own troubles at the mo). Was partly spoiled by stroppy 18yo who thinks that entire world should revolve around him, but hey-ho….
So then DH & I decided to grab a bit more holiday (before he changes companies and we don’t know what their hol rules are yet!) and went camping & walking last week (now my foot has been ‘fixed’ I can go walking again – yippee!). All that fresh air and exercise, and I put ON weight – wot the !?!?!?!?! Still it was de-stressing, and even picked up the younger 2 SK’s for the w/e and took them camping & walking too, with relatively little hassle!

Right – so here we go again! Back on the Rollercoaster…yesterday was cycle day 19 & day 1 of Norethisterone. Buseralin injections start on Tuesday – Oh Joy! Actually I am remarkably calm about the whole thing at the moment, even though realistically (financially) this is likely to be our last try. Just hope I can hold on to this feeling when the hormones start raging next week!

Will have a proper catch up on the thread in the next couple of days, and keep you posted on my progress.

HUGS,

FE

Good luck FE, you certainly sound de-stressed!

Nottslass and Toniq I hope all went well today for you.

Shelly I hope you're feeling ok now and ready for this cycle! I feel I'm over the worst of it-well at least I was until the nagging phonecall from my mum! She keeps going on at me about chasing things up and doesn't understand that until I'm satisfied that all my hormones and cycle are normal again with the tumour I can't even begin to think about finiding any more problems to deal with at the moment. She also doesn't understand that I wouldn't actually be able to go down the IVF route either because of my weight and trying to get rid of that at the moment is also hard enough on top of everything else. So I get the standard response from her "don't I want children then!" How my own Mum can be so oblivious to my feelings and the situation is beyond me!

Hi all - GREAT to hear from you Fairy Elephant - I was wondering how you were getting on. Glad to hear you sounding so together, obviously the break has done you good.

How are our two girls getting on??? Are you de-egged toniq, and have you been ETd nottslass!

Hope you are both doing well, update us when you feel ready.

Hi Becs.

I'm back to my usual optimistic self

I'm quite lucky with my family because we don't really see people that often the only question we ever get is 'Are you still trying?'
Those that we are close to know everything we have been through and are really good.


Lilo.
How are you lately? Healing up nicely? Hope you are well.
