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

jujugaboo

I am on Menopur and Buserlin but as I am the highest dose for stimming I have to do 2 separate injections for that. I do all my jabs in the belly (bit of blubber there) even the trigger ones I have not been told otherwise. I can do my 2 stim injections in the morning and move the Buserlin to the evening at least.

Lisa, glad you are on the mend. I am 34 this year so hoping this will be my year.

Hugs to all those who found Mothers Day hard - hopefully it will be our turn very soon. xx

Hi Lisa. I had treatment at that clinic with my first child and it was the most degrading and horrible fertility clinic I ever used (and I've used a few believe me!). I was under another fertility specialist who was on holiday mid IVF cycle so he sent me there to finish the cycle. On my very first visit, I was told to go into a room and strip from the waist and wait for the doctor. There was no modesty blanket, and I never met the man first fully clothed. He came in, shoved a dildo cam into me, turned to my husband and said, "there's no point in doing IVF, look her ovaries are pathetic". Barely addressed a word to me. We ended up converting the cycle to an IUI as I had a couple of viable eggs, and to our great fortune we were successful in achieving a pregnancy, but I feel very little warm feelings to the place despite this. The doctor in question is the very litigious head honcho, and my own fertility specialist when we were trying for a subsequent child told me that my medical records from that cycle were completely normal, and had I continued with the stimulating drugs for an extra few days I would easily have had sufficient follies for an egg collection.

Obviously Panaroma apologized and retracted their allegation that he fudges his statistics by refusing to complete treatments for women who he thinks might not succeed on IVF, so I am not suggesting that, just recounting my own experience there.

hi all, just had a read back, welcome newbies hope all goes well, we had treatment at the heath cardiff privately, i found them very good, we had a bfp, but have had problems since , but the problems are not due to the treatment we recieved, i would recommend the heath.

sarah good luck with your scan this week xxx

juju and toniq hope both of your cycles are going well and fingers crossed for 2 bfp's xxxx

chickpea good luck with your appointment xxx

lisa sorry you have had so much to cope with, well done on staying positive, and hope you get on well with the new place xxxx


hugs to all who need them ((((()))))

i went back to hospital last friday and my levels had fallen to 316 i have to keep going back until the level falls to 30, had a slight bit of bleeding start yesterday (a great way to remember mothersday!) and have a bit of cramping today, so think m/c is on its way, been keeping myself busy decorating the house, and hopefully things will sort themselves out quite soon.

as for age ive just turned 35 and am starting to feel old amongst the rest of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


good luck all, lets have lots of babies for 2012

Juju, good luck with your injections:o
Lisawood, (((hugs))).
Sarah, (((hugs))), hope your dad will be better:o
Nicki, the doctor sounds terrible:shocked: Glad it was a successfull pregnancy though:)
Runnerduck, (((hugs))). I'm older by the way:p

As for me, I'm doing absolutely nothing:o
I'm in 2ww (6DPO) without medication, we BDd two days before ov, so pretty unlikely to be pg:o
I'm taking progesterone tabs to delay AF so it could be well timed for IVF.

toniq

Qq Never say never, U have a chance, it aint over till af rears her big fat head xx

Sarah, u really have a ,lot on ur plate, really hope things with ur dad start looking up, total scumbags who prey on the elderly xxx

Sarah - scumbags. Your poor dad, and poor you too.

It's pretty low to steal full stop, but taking advantage of old folks (and children) to steal is even worse.

+++++++++

We have an appointment for a consultation at Midlands Fertility on 29 April - that has the added advantage that we don't have to watch a certain wedding on telly. And hopefully the roads will be empty.

I'm going to draw up a list of questions beforehand. Today is CD02, starting on the Clomid again tonight (the word 'futile' springs to mind though!)

+++++++

Lisa - you sounds really upbeat - and like you said, if it wasn't for your tubes, this last time might have worked. So now they have a 'recipe' that works, and the tube is gone...well, here's hoping anyway.

++++++++++++

QQ - hope the 2ww goes quickly.

+++++++++

Toniq and CCM (and Murray if lurking) - hello!

Murray - are you still a near cycle buddy for me?

I am looking forward to the wedding But its a good excuse not to watch it.

Sarah - How awful for your Dad. Try and take it easy though. A holiday will be nice - am very jealous

Lisa - you are not old!!!! I hope you are OK - I can't imagine what you are going through. Runner as well. You are very brave ladies.

Juju - hope the injections aren't too painful (as I hide my squemish face)

Fingers crossed you hit the spot QQ.

Well we didn't DTD last night. I've been feeling like I'm coming down with a cold - bad timing. BUT - literally just got my EWCM :T (sorry TMI) and come Ov twinges. Hopefully it won't be too late to BD tonight will it?

Need to chase my appointment. Its been nearly 3 weeks since the disaster of the appointment with the lost test results and they said they would be sending me my next appointment in the post. I am losing faith with this clinic TBH. I called them last Friday - straight to answer machine and nothin back yet. :cool:

I can confirm, having been treated there for the last 2 years that MFS have no TV in their waiting area. They do have a lovely fishtank however
