Ladies doing IVF or IUI - 2015 (9 BFPs!)

[Laura07]

That's loads of test!! The nk people told me I didn't need anything else just take steroids but with my count being high it worries me xx

 

[phonixgirl]

Hmm, I might ask about some of these.

One of my friends struggled for years to get her little boy. We were at a barbecue and a lady there (friend's mum) asked when she was going to have another. We both jumped on her straight away, saying it's just not that easy for everyone (although we wish it was)! I thought it was very thoughtless but quite rude too - there may be (and are) reasons why she doesn't have another one yet. Xxx

 

[Blueflower]

Good for you, what did the lady say?!!
You get basic immune testing after 2 failed IVFs (or maybe miscarriages?) and the further tests are only offered a bit later.
I am still waiting for my proper AF. I'm in a horrible limbo as if I'm stuck at about day 21 for 2 weeks! It would be ok if I was stuck mid cycle but I feel slightly PMSy but not quite, not good for any bedroom fun!

We paid for the immune testing, hla matching and hubbys Dna private. The rest were on the nhs, I had some done after my 2 nd miscarriage and the rest after my 3rd miscarriage, those ones they gave me more then they usually would at that stage because we had been trying for 7 years and could only get pregnant via IVF.
We found all the problems on the private tests..
For my high nk cells I'll be having steroids again plus gcsf.

 

[RAFMrs]

I thought it was s good list to have at least that gives you an indication of some of what is available if meeting criteria x

Wow RAFMrs, I didn't understand most of what those tests are for but of course I hope they are helpful in progressing your journey. X

Ah yeah "just adopt!" As if you make a phone call and get someone who is pregnant on the other end about to give birth and there, you'll have your baby. Adoption is such a lengthy process and obviously very thorough - but yes, there just aren't any babies really. That sounds so awful to write! But of course as ladies who have been trying for years for a little bundle it's not as easy as just making a phone call and off you go. We've been put off twice by our local adoption agency as they are so inundated with people wanting to adopt they just can't accept any more people on the system. Besides, we're told to wait 6-12 months from stopping fertility treatment before even applying. It's all the same when it comes to wanting a child - people think there's a quick and easy route whether it's naturally, artificially or adoption. But as LTTTC'ers, we know the inner workings and so know that's not the case really.

Buggering tapatalk!!! I wrote a long reply and it's only posted half! Grrrrrr how bloody annoying. That's why I got rid of tapatalk!

Blueflower - it seems ages since your transfer was cancelled and they did the chromosome testing! Surely AF must come soon?!

I never had any pain for ov but I assume I have done by now. I don't hold out much hope that we will conceive naturally this month though as we didn't DTD last night and my ov symptoms just haven't been strong at all. Plus I have been eating whatever I like this past month, when really I should be eating no bad carbs and no sugar! January I will be back on the diet xx

 

[MissJuly10]

Just a quick update from me:
Had our chat and plan yesterday for our first FET cycle. Starting provera 28th Dec then norethisterone and Buserilin (sorry not sure how to spell it). Estimated transfer date of 9th Feb which is right before my birthday and DH's birthday is the following week...so we are yet again praying for an amazing birthday present lol.
There was a lot to remember so I've left out a lot but just wanted to quickly update and say we are nearly on our way again. Very odd to be back at the clinic and collecting my medications and syringes for injections! Thankfully only 2 weeks of injections (I think!)

Hope everyone's doing ok. Got to get back to the Christmas shopping!!

Have a lovely week everyone x

 

[phonixgirl]

Eeekkk, that's exciting! I've got my appointment Jan 20th so if they get a move on we could possibly do the FET around the same time as you xxx

 

[Laura07]

That great miss July, how many of us will be having treatment in the new year? I'm thinking its a good time as its a fresh start and new beginnings xx

 

[Blueflower]

Twice before when I had just a token AF when stopping the cyclogest I got proper AF 2 weeks later, but 2 weeks has passed now. Maybe I will miss the whole month? CM has been doing strange things too. It could be that my body has totally had enough and just cancelled AF! But that 10mm lining is still there! I was thinking its a bit weird to shed just a bit but I 've heard when some people are pregnant they still have periods, I wonder how the baby stays in there?!! Hopefully when I relax at Christmas things will settle down. I am still in denial about the dreadful embryo results.

Great news Miss July! Here's to some good news next year!

 

[phonixgirl]

That's strange Blueflower. Maybe you will go another 2 weeks? I have always wondered how the baby stays in there when pregnant ladies have periods too! Our bodies are strange things...

Laura - us three, plus maybe Blueflower with a donor egg depending on what they decide and possibly LittleDalla if they complain and don't have to pay for the IUIs first! Any others? Xxx

 

[phonixgirl]

Well ladies, I thought I ovulated on Tues or Weds but I've started spotting already like I used to so I'm now thinking I didn't actually ovulate at all. It's come as no surprise as my diet has been awful since the failed cycle, really got to sort things out for next month. Bring on 2016.

we are looking at going back to Athens Feb/March time x

 

[Blueflower]

I just had some news! Got an email from our local clinic where we’ve been on the egg donor list for 8 months, that they have a possible donor!
She sounds just like me in appearance with the same colour hair, eyes, skin, similar build and almost the same height! She has similar hobbies, we have similar jobs and she needs IVF as she is in a same sex relationship. Sounds amazing! I have replied asking when she is having IVF. I wasn’t expecting any news like this as I’d given up hope with this clinic and was expecting to make a decision about where to go overseas via the London clinic. I mustn’t get my hopes up but it does sound good, and what lovely news just before Christmas!
