The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Chocolate_Cookie_Monster

An early CD1 for me. To be expected I guess after the test as I think my cycle went a bit haywire.

Good luck Lisa. Only 3 more days to go unless you cave in

Murray - I hope you sort out an earlier appointment. Thats an awfully long time to have to wait.

And good luck to all those entering their 2ww.

Hi everyone - I'm joining (it seems) most of you in the 2ww! Definite air of expectancy - I hope literally! Sorry about yr AF tho CCM.

++++++++

Glad today went well QQ, third time lucky...

++++++++

I have collected my latest haul of Clomid from the chemist - I have LOADS now, because FS says to do 100mg from now on. I have 3 months left of 50mg and then 6 months worth at 100mg with CD21 blood tests. I'll have to start that next cycle (which of course won't come..!)

+++++++++

Well, I went to see my friend and her new baby on Tuesday. Baby is gorgeous. I may not have my own baby, but I'm getting the next best thing - I'm to be godmother! I'm so chuffed!

+++++++++

Good luck, ladies-in-waiting.

hi ladies.
Not caved, YET!!!
Well done QQ, thats great news, now for the 2ww, eeeek! Best of luck hun, 3 rd time lucky!
I haven't had any dye or camera tests, I have known for about 10 years that my tubes were blocked after an early ectopic, then a lter ectopic confirmed this and one tube was removed, the surgeon said my insides were like a car crash , nice! So it's always been IVF or nothing here.
Chickpea, your godchild sounds scrummy, i'm a godmother to 2, brother and sister and they are so wonderful.
CCM boooooo, but CD1 means another go at it, good luck for this cycle!
Who else is waiting?

Hello ladies, sorry to be MIA, and sooo nice to be missed.

I havent been terribly positive, sorry to say, and have been avoiding the whole issue of ttc. Second blood test showed that I hadnt ovd for the second month on the trot, and they wont do anything about it. My GP wont prescribe clomid as there is a risk of ovarian cancer, and with my history they wouldnt consider it. On top of that, my stepbrother has died of cancer and as executor I have been up to my eyeballs in it dealing with it. Together with the Fibro, I have been feeling very sorry for myself. Oh, and have only just had a (very light) visit from AF after 2 months of waiting (I knew I wasnt preg cos of the blood test)

Anyway, enough of all that, I am hoping I have my mojo back, and will be able to offer some wise words of comfort to you all. Plus, after how many years! I have finally come up with a girls name that I like!!!!!! So now I just need the baby to name.

CONGRATULATIONS RUNNERDUCK -I am not going to speak too soon, but did you have 2 embryos put back - a strong result that early could mean double trouble ...............................................

And Lisawood78, I have everything crossed that your test result is positive. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anyway - look at the time, you can see I am no further to sorting my sleep problem!

Night night all, God bless xxx Lilo

Sorry you've been having a rough time Lilo. I'm sure the stress won't have helped your OV.

Have you tried sth like Ovulex? I have a stash I bought online that I'm saving for if/when Clomid doesn't work.

Nice to see you back, even if things are a bit gloomy at pres.

Have a good day, one and all.

(CD21 here)

Sending you Hugs Lilo on all counts, it sounds like a rough time for you.

Chickpea - congrats on becoming a Godmother, I have 2 too but still would like my own one day.

Lisa - still keeping fingers crossed for you, no AF yet must be a good sign.

Good luck to all on your 2ww.

I am having some reflexology at lunchtime, I have had it before but not for the whole IVF thing. I thought I would give it a go and see how it is and then the acupunture starts nearer the time of injections, its going to cost me a bomb which is slightly worrying as OH still not working.

I have a lovely spa weekend away with my 2 close friends this weekend. One of them is preggers and the weekend will hopefully be relaxing, having fun and all about the food.

I have thought about doing reflexology in the past but just not gotten round to it. There are a lot of success stories when I did some research. I think I would rather reflexology then acupuncture as needles stress me out :eek: I have also started Yoga and upped the excercise a notch.

My pack of cheap Ov strip tests (sorry not sure of the acronym) arrived today. I have previously bought Boots sticks but they are so expensive. I did once use the ones where you pea in a pot but its messy And I read on the TTC thread (Think it was QQ) that you can just POAS directly. I will try that this month and see what happens.

:Tfor the weekend. I'm looking forward to being able to start again this cycle with no interruptions this time. Our second FS appointment this month. I have no idea whats next for us.

Good luck Lisa.
