Trying for a Baby Part 7

tea_lover

Just got back from FS apt. Was all a bit overwhelming tbh. I came out of it feeling pretty down, but OH seemed to think it went well! I do sometimes wonder if we’re on the same planet.

Saw the consultant’s registrar who went through my history (basically lots of laps for endo). He recommended another lap, and said the waiting list was 6-8 weeks. By the time we got back to the waiting room he’d spoken to the consultant and the plan had changed. I’m now having HyCoSy to chwck my tubes, and then probably clomid. They’re going to do that first and then possibly another lap, but I’ve had one every 2 years for the last 6 years so the scar tissue’s really building up already.

Had some swabs and an US and that confirmed PCO.

Consultant said in his experience he thought we would most likely end up with IUI, and then IVF if that doesn’t work. Seemed like they didn’t give us any chance of it happening naturally.

Have now got to have loads of bloods done (CD21, CD28, CD2-4 and rubella). Don’t ovulate till CD30+ usually so not sure they’ll show much. OH has got to have SA – fingers crossed for that, don’t think I can take any more bad news.

Sorry for such an essay – just wanted to write it all down and for someone to tell me it’s not that bad! But it looks like it really is that bad.

It's not bad.

The reason your OH is upbeat is because he's a man, and what he's heard from your consultation is 'there's lot of things we can do that will help you to have a baby. This is the plan'.

What you've heard is 'this will probably never happen naturally'.

He's also probably trying to keep your spirits up. My husband was always far more positive than me, and looking back, I love him all the more for it because I really needed that support and perspective.

You are no worse off than you've ever been. In fact, you're a step closer to your dream. It's hard but in a few days I think you'll feel a lot more cheery.

hiya! took last dose of soy last night, hopefully I will OV soon!

Got a week off work, I've just cleaned all the kitchen cupboard doors, had a fish finger sarnie (was yummy) and now I'm going to re-paint parts of the kitchen (dog slobber) and we are seeing the mortgage advisor on Thursday, so hopefully we will be moving soon!

will have a look at the last few pages later and write more replies to people x

Birdie, fingers crossed AF won't turn up this year:o
becca, BBT chart should look like this:


Lower temps until ov (can be erratic at the beginning), then higher temps after ov. There may be an ov dip/implantation dip:cool:

zcrat, your plan of action sounds brilliant:T
Let's hope it'll do the trick:cool:
Tea Lover, it doesn't sound so bad:)
A lot of people have PCO, but as it's only an ov problem, it's not really an issue (unless you don't ov).
Clomid then IUI, IVF is the standard schedule if one hasn't conceived within one year. Oh, and checking the tubes:cool:
Has your DH ever done SA?
Like Fluffnutter said, you are one step closed to your baby:)

Sounds like an exciting week off:)

Tealover I'm afraid I don't have much to add but my support. I like what Fluffnutter said - men do seem to like a plan and that does sound like the positive - there is stuff that you can try and do. I do hope you get there and that the journey isn't too stressful x

Thanks guys, sorry I've just been so grumpy the last couple of days, just can't get enough sleep.

QQ can I predict 7 for this month please, and I will be testing on Sunday at 14dpo. That is if I make it that far, I keep thinking AF is going to arrive and have been thinking that for the last few days but fingers crossed nothing as yet.

Vesper - we'll be testing buddies (fingers crossed for both of us that AF doesn't show before then...)

Tealover - ((hugs)) it all sounds very overwhelming, but as others have said it sounds like there is a good plan in place, and I agree that men like to have a plan and are generally good at being upbeat which can be very annoying but also quite useful. Hope you are ok, sending lots of ((hugs)) and good wishes.

Hi QQ I'm still showing as cd50 on your list, can you change me to cd3 please?

Big thank you! x
