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

chickpea

So unrelated to TTC, here's my favourite joke of the moment:

A Greek, Irishman and Portuguese man go into a pub.

The German pays.

I'm out of the game this month because I had a stinking cold & then DH was away over ov time I'm just waiting for AF to turn up so we can crack on again. Had my day 21 test taken again which showed that i am ovulating in spite of a few erratic cycles so full steam ahead next cycle. Going to see if I can book in with the acupuncturist again to give that another try.

Welcome to the board Countrybum & best of luck

Congratulations for your wedding JuJu, sounds like you had a lovely time.


Like the joke Chickpea! My favourite joke at the moment is:

"'Men who think marriage is a 50:50 arrangement don't understand 2 things:
1. Fractions
2. Women"

Hello everyone

I like both those jokes
Nil to report here; DH was away when I O'd so no chance .. Altho FF hasn't done crosshairs yet (at cd 21) as my temps are screwy this month.

Am on the phone so trying to remember what everyone has said.. Um.. Hurrah for 1 perfect follicle chickpea!! Congrats to juju. And welcome to countrybum. Hope the cycle goes smoothly for runnerduck too.

Hugs all x

Welcome Countrybum
Congrats on your wedding Juju
Good luck Chickpea

And anyone else I have forgotten

Nothing to report here. Finished the hrt last week and AF arrived as required. Had 2 lots of blood tests to see if my hormone levels are ok to start injecting, 3rd appointment is tomorrow. Apparently it can take 3/4 goes before they're right. Hope this is the one as its a 48mile round trip to the clinic and awkward with OH's shifts etc

Has anyone else had the Hrt along with their ICSI? Or is it the norm?

Trying desperately to get Christmas sorted early. If the drugs work I will have the Egg Collection approx 17th Dec so would like to be able to put my feet up and watch tv on the run up to Christmas and not have to be running around like a headless chicken like I was last year. My own fault of course, trying to be very MSE and make most of the prezzies:eek:

FA due on 17th jan and this will be our 3rd time there and last time they mentioned ivf so we will have to see. do you know how long things will take from then?

hi, i'm taking the HRT, started mine monday 2 tabs a day then 3 a day from sat and 4 a day from day 10, ours is a FET probably on the 8th of dec depending on our scan on the 5th, i didn't take hrt with my full ICSI cycle , but did with the last FET as well, apparently it's to make sure i have a thick womb lining, good luck with your treatment

I have bad news. I had scans on Monday and Tuesday and my pregnancy was ectopic. They removed it yesterday but managed to save the tube. I had no pain at all - just a bit of spotting on Sunday. I have to wait 3 months before trying again.
