Feeling fed up :-(

[Dee28]

I had an appointment at Bourne hall today for what I thought was a scan before we start iui next cycle, the consultant we saw specifically said I need to book a scan appointment before my next period, so that's what I did. So I went alone and of course there had been a miscommunication and it was down as a pre iui appointment with the nurse and hubby should have been there as we both need to sign more forms. She made me feel an idiot and has massively made me doubt doing an unmedicated iui and I generally came away feeling crap.

They did scan me too and my dodgy ovary is still mega high up behind my uterus and to do IVF I might need a general anaesthetic for egg collection which can only be done at the Cambridge site so a total nightmare with Nancy and given I reacted so badly to the general anaesthetic with my lap that I had to be admitted is making me very stressed.

I just feel like everything is such hard work and I'm fed up. I thought the lap had sorted my ovary but it hasn't and it effing hurts all the time and I bet I ovulate that side with the iui and we'll have to abandon it. We said no to medicated partly as it's still early days after the lap but also because we don't want to risk twins but now I'm thinking we should as it might made make both sides ovulate. Does anyone know if you can ovulate two eggs from the same side with medicated iui?

Urgh, bad day, am waffling. And hubby is away which isn't helping. Just fed up with it all

Aww hun how frustrating. That's really annoying too about them not telling you hubby needed to be there. I don't have any advice on the medication front, but wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. Hope you get on track soon and feel like things are progressing in the way you'd hoped. xxx

Sorry you're feeling fed up. I hate all the obstacles that seem to get in the way all of the time. I also get so frustrated with all the miscommunication, why would they not tell you that your hubby needed to go along, its just annoying.
If it were me, I would have medicated as I too have problems with one ovary/tube (as you know) so I would want to increase the chance of an egg on each side. I wouldn't mind twins though so that would obviously make the decision easier for me. I am not sure if it could be that you ov from same side twice though xx

Oh honey, how frustrating for you. I don't blame you for being fed up

Although I understand your reservations about multiples, I'd be tempted to go with a medicated cycle incase you ovulate from your 'bad' side the month iui is scheduled for.

Oh and yes, you can have multiple follicles in same ovary and release more than one egg from same side in the same month.

Thanks girls xx it's tough isn't it. I spine to Bourne hall and I'm going to take clomid, I'll get the prescription tomorrow or Friday so I'll see the dose but she said low dose so it might just be that little boost we need. If there are more than 2-3 dominant follicles they won't proceed. Feel a bit better, really don't like the nurse there but will try to ignore that and prey this works so I don't need hideous GA IVF xx

 

[Belfa]

Sorry your having a rubbish time of it Dee but I agree with the others and think you've done the right thing by starting on clomid x

 

[Dee28]

Thanks belfa, I do feel better having made the decision to take the clomid, let's hope it helps xx

 

[Blueflower]

Sorry you're feeling crap. Clomid is a good idea cos it will boost your chances! Although I only ever produced one egg on it which I was probably doing on my own anyway! But it was a low dose.
Good luck!

 

[Dee28]

Hmm I'm only going to take 50mg so maybe I'll only produce one...oh well, it's worth a try! Xx

 

[lisey]

Even if you only produce one, doesn't it improve (quality/maturity etc) of the egg somewhat? so could increase chances in that way xx

 

[honeybear]

how frustrating hun
the nurse shouldn't have made you feel that way its their fault for not making it clear so dont feel silly
no advice on the ovulation and iui but try not to stress
sending lots of hugs xxx

 

[Blueflower]

Yes I think it might help the one egg to mature.

 

[Londongirl]

I know I'm not the best example but the chances of multiples with clomid are only about 10% and I think it should help improve the quality of the ovulation. Lots of luck xxx

 

[Dee28]

Tee hee you're certainly not!! Although I need what you did and ovulate on both sides to get the good side! What dies did you take? Took my first 50mg today xx

 

[Londongirl]

I was on 50mg. I only had one egg the first cycle as I was scanned for that. Are you going to have tracking scans? Xx

 

[Dee28]

Oh that gives me hope that I might get both sides as i do ovulate fine normally. I will get tracking scans, first one is cd10 next weds, wondering of the clomid will make everything happen a bit earlier xx

 

[Londongirl]

Fx for you hon xxx

Fingers crossed hon.xx
