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

TTC40

Hi 2b

What's it for? I didn't have to take anything.

I did take some pain killers about an hour before (this was recommended).

Whilst it wasn't the best 10 minutes of my life, it was no worse than a smear - but everyone is different I know.

How are you going about finding a donor?

2ba3c, I took pain killers an hour before my HSG as recommended.
Having googled Azithromycin, it says it's an antibiotic? Then it sounds right to take it after HSG.

Make sure you take your pad with you, otherwise they'll give you massive ones:shocked:

Some say you should try to relax, as it makes it less painful:cool:

Hi ladies

I've been a bit awol as nothing really to report in the run up to my gynae visit (which was today) - finally I feel like I am getting somewhere, and going for an HSG and some more blood tests, and had a swab for something or other done today.

Just need to find some new sperm now our donor has moved abroad!

Anyway - I just really popped by to ask a question for those that have an HSG - the doctor I saw today was acting in the place of the consultant that I would normally see, and she prescribed me Azithromycin to take AFTER the HSG (and that's written on her notes adn on the medicine) - but the notes from the hospital about the procedure say to take it before... anybody know which it is? I have 4 tabs to take it looks like!

TY and hugs to all xx

Hello. If I'm prying please tell me so, but can't talk to my friends/family about this because was going to keep the sperm donor thing quiet, but can I ask did you have a private arrangement? And did you find him through a website?

Hubby has zero sperm count so trying to consider whether to go for ICSI with his sperm or just go through a donor on a website.

Hi everyone
I've been AWOL too; nothing to report. CD 1 here - the longest cycle I've had since the IUI & I was beginning to hope that a miracle had happened *sigh*. I really should know better by now! For the last couple of cycles I've been more accepting that it probably won't happen for us, & then ovulation is a bit later than anticipated, DH comes home just in time, so there's a chance & then the LP is a bit longer than usual.. All of which conspires to wreck my carefully cultivated acceptance of secondary infertility. I'll get it back - just not tonight.

Anyone heard from chickpea? Hope you're ok. Hope everyone in the 2ww is coping!

Hugs

Onestep, I could've written most of that post too hope you're feeling a bit better (for want of a better word) now :cool:


AFM I'm going through good days and bad days, as expected I guess. I've had some kind of spotting or AF for most of May, which is annoying and still makes me think it was an anovulatory cycle. Either way, I'm fed up with it all right now, and although I know that nothing will be done to help us til I lose more weight, I can't quite motivate myself to seriously crack on with it - not helped by the fact that me and dh are both so despondent right now that cooking and/or keeping the kitchen in a state where preparing healthy food is easy isn't really on the cards... :cool:

Sorry, this general malaise and antipathy is why I've just been lurking

OneStep - huge hugs, hope you can get your pma back. It doesn't seem to matter how much I realise it is probably not going to work I still can't help getting my hopes up most months when I notice little things which seem to be good signs so understand what you mean.

BZ - huge hugs honey you did do well with your weight loss and you will again but it is not surprising you don't feel up to it after all you have been through. Don't punish yourself for taking time to heal and we are hear if you want to moan or rant.

AFM - cd1 today

:mad:Yet more bloody out-of-the-blue, bright red bleeding! :mad:

And a water infection and toothache from open root canal to top it off :mad::(

And dh is really down and we're supposed to give in the keys on mil's place on wednesday, and it's not empty by half, yet.


:wave: to all

Hugs BZ you are going through it at the moment.

Gloomy miserable morning here which is not helping my mood so I have made myself a cup of tea and taken it back to bed.

Good luck to all those in the 2ww x

Evertheoptomist - Have you tested yet? I have got everything crossed for you x

BZ - Big hugs, good luck with clearing the house out, its not fun when my FIL died my husand and I both cleared his house out, but thats another story!

I'm [FONT=&quot]convinced [/FONT]that I will be see AF soon. I have sore boobs but I think that is down to the prostegeon. These next few days are gonna drag..

Morning everyone

Well i tested and it was a BFN.... which i was expecting to be honest, so although i am absolutely gutted i don't think it has hit me as hard as when i miscarried and when my previous IUI's failed. Although i am sure this week will be hard when i realise what it means.

I have made some decisions, as it is ruling my life, i wish away every day to be closer to ovulating, or to scan day or to EC etc etc. But my hubby goes away in Sept for 6 months so i am not letting our last few months together be controlled by baby making anxieties. I will see what clinic says on Monday, then i think we will plan a holiday for july/ aug then try another IVF before he goes.

Thank you for listening.

Hope you are doing ok sillysausage

BZ - really sorry for what you are going through, it sounds dreadful for you at the moment.
