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

I am so sorry juju. Take care of yourselves, and take stock - do what is right for you. Will you review with the consultant? Maybe they can offer some hope!

I think I have confused everyone (and myself!) I am doing full blown IVF, not frosties. Sadly I havent had any. Just waiting for an appointment to go and get my meds sorted.

Thanks for the info Lisa if you have a list of what the tests are that would be useful, feel free to PM me.

I am seeing my acupunturist tomorrow so I am hoping she can point me in the right direction too as she was the one who orignally told me about this.

I will have a review with the Dr when they can fit me in, they still want me to test tomorrow or come in for a blood test but as its over 33 miles away I will just do another home test.

Juju I am so so sorry, I am having immunes done I am going to CARE at Nottingham but Manchester also do them if they are any closer to you, my OTD was 25/03/11 and my review is not until the 31/05/11 hope you don't have a long wait x x

Lisa if possible would you be able to give me the level 1 tests too as I need to go to doctors to get these done, I asked them if they would do them they said they would but still not got it sorted

The ARGC in London is the closest one to me as I am in the south. Just had a look at their website and they specialise in implantation failure. I might try and give them a call tomorrow to see what they can do.

I've read some really good things about ARGC hope they can give you some answers if you decide to go with them x x

Does anyone take royal jelly or bee pollen tablets I read they are really good for egg quality? I think mine might be a bit poor I got our IVF notes through and it said our embryos were second quality I tried to make sense of some of the notes but they just confused me a lot x x

JuJu - Really sorry about AF. I hope the tests give you some answers now.

Nichart -

I bought some bee pollen from Amazon last year, about fifteen quid for a large jar. It smelled so completely foul though that I could not, under any circumstances, work up the courage to eat it.

Actually - had I believed it was a 'cure' I would have forced myself.

As it is, with almost all these 'remedies' I can't help but think that the reason I am not getting pg is not due to my lack of bee pollen, Maca, coconut water, cough mixture, Chinese herbs or whatever..

I'll dig those test lists out tomorrow ladies.
ARGC is where we are off to next month for our consultation with a view to a full cycle there really soon. We have chosen them for their results and the fact they are specialists in implantation failures and immune issues.

I take Royal Jelly for egg quality, it won't have helped for this IVF though, as it needs few months to work. I only started this cycle:o

I'm feeling lousy:(

It's either the progesterone suppositories, estrogen pills or the hcg shot (Tue). Other possibility is that I had food poisoning on Tues, threw everything up and generally had a rough day yesterday. Today my stomach still feel upset, nauseated and really tired:(

Will have to inject the last hcg shot tomorrow, so wish me luck:o Hope I won't have to be sick again afterwards. It's not good for the uterus.
