Hiya! Love your user name! Wow, 7 years that must be hard.

Hi Emily, no course we don't mind!
So sorry Snowbee that's devastating. Hope you're not back for long.
I just found out my SIL is having another baby, I am pleased for them and trying to stay positive for us but it just feels as if we are being pushed further and further to the back of the queue. It had to be our turn next! We keep having to congratulate people when I feel as if I've been punched in the stomach, when you congratulate the same people twice when you're still waiting it really sucks. Will anyone be envious of us when its our turn?! Or by the time its our turn it will be more like "oh at last, what took you so long?!" And I'm trying to be positive as its our final ivf but I can't bear to think that it could never happen if time runs out soon.
She had morning sickness and felt awful but I couldn't help thinking "at least you're pregnant, I feel rough as I'm being pumped full of IVF drugs and there's no guarantees it won't all be for nothing again."
Glad we have this thread to moan on!

Fingers crossed for your ivf Blueflower, hoping this will be the one for you.

Welcome to all the newbies, sorry you are having to join us as it sucks here!

I've seen my gp today, she is pretty annoyed with my consultant messing us about and has promised to try and sort things out for me. She has also referred me for mc testing, obviously I'm hoping they don't find anything and we have just been unlucky. More being poked and prodded, yey. Feeling a bit pants, my husband is devastated, it just feels so dreadful not being able to carry his child.

Welcome, Cheesey.

Your story sounds similar to mine. I have PCOS too and we have been trying for around 7 years as well. Never seen a BFP either! Are you on metformin?

 

[StephyLou]

So its the anniversary of my miscarriage today, I'm day 24 so not long to wait if this the month but even though we got peak days this month I don't have a good feeling.

Had blood tests done all good, but slighty high anti-mullerian so have to be checked for polycystic ovaries. Partners sperm test came back as incredibly high so feeling like its me at the moment

 

[Blueflower]

I just watched 'The Mindy Project' and felt jealous of her for being pregnant even though its not real, how sad am I?!

 

[phonixgirl]

Hahaaa.

I wish it was easier.

A colleague asked me yesterday why my engagement ring is so loose. She knows our struggles. I said, "They made it big as they told me my finger would get fatter after I had children... But as it turns out, I can't have children so I might as well get it made smaller..." She told me to "never say never" as this is the lady who went through everything - clomid, IUI, IVF - and it all failed. They adopted a baby girl and six months later fell pregnant naturally.

The thing is, I am feeling a bit down right now. I thought I had managed to get my spotting down to one day but now it has gone back to six days. Not bright red as it used to be but still indicates a progesterone deficiency. Argh. X

 

[stacesl3]

Sorry to say I'm back Thought that we were in with a chance this time but it appears not. Desperately hoping we will get a sticky bfp soon, this sucks.

I'm really sorry to hear this snowbee life can be so cruel sometimes!! xx

 

[Trina]

Can I come and going the boat?

It hasn't been as long for us as a lot of you (21 months and counting), but the lack of BFP is getting me down. I am getting broodier and seem to see pregnant women and babies everywhere.

We have been referred and had my scan the other day and it looks like I'm not ovulating (or was ovulating late as no real sign at CD13) and have suspected PCOS and OH is awaiting a second SA with a low sperm count. At the first visit the consultant basically said it would be IVF for us, but I have another 2 stone to lose before I meet the criteria so busy with SW.

I really hope I can get the wait off to try IVF in the new year, but we only get one shot here on the NHS so not too much of a chance.

Good luck in your journeys x

Hi Trina

Are they going to put you on metformin? Go over to LTTTC and see my useful link for PCOS - I found it really helpful to know what's good and what's not so good.

We only get one go at IVF here too and we have been putting it off in the hope it happened naturally (obviously hasn't!). The whole postcode lottery thing sucks, and PCOS sucks too!

Good luck hun, hopefully you won't need the IVF xxx

Boo
My HSG on Monday showed no problems
(Is it bad that I hoped for bad news so they could fix something??)

Ultrasound Nov 1st then to see the consultant again

We got a kitten so now at least I'm a little distracted from TTC


I'm only on CD10 and already wanting AF to get here again and sod off already lol

 

[Blueflower]

No I'm the same, at least if they find a problem they can fix it so you can get pregnant. Unexplained sucks!

 

[phonixgirl]

When I was having tests, I wanted them to find something too. I felt relieved when I got a diagnosis after 7 years or so (even though it's incurable). It would be better if there was something they could do but hey. X

 

[snowbee]

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing? I've started opks this week, not expecting to ov for ages though if my body behaves the way it did after my first mc. No positives on the opks but I do have ewcm today. We also got our next fertility clinic date (at last) and so will be heading there later on this month and I've also been referred for miscarriage testing. Really hoping we don't need any of these appointments! Fed up of this, hoping it won't take another 15 months for a bfp but terrified that if we get one I won't be able to be happy as I'll be too worried about mc. Stressing today!

 

[Emily0505]

I've had a positive cheapie but negative digital opk, although I'm expecting a ☺ in the morning.

This cycle marks a year TTC and is the first after my mmc.

Feeling all over the place ATM.

[snowbee]

Hi ladies how is everyone on board doing?

I've now got my clomid so just got to wait for next cycle to start (obviously it would be nice to get that natural bfp this cycle so I won't complain if I don't get to use the clomid haha). I've also been signed up to do a trial for possible mc causes and I get the first set of results next week so that will be interesting. Wondering how long my body is going to take to get back to normal after mc, last time it was ages. I'm not sure if I have ovulated yet, my boobs are slightly tingly, normally when I ovulate they are sore a day after. Not had a positive opk yet but had one that was close a couple of days ago.

 

[xMillie]

Hopefully Clomid will work for you Snowbee.
And good luck with the tests.


I've got my Ultrasound to look for causes on Sunday. What should I expect?
Do they tell you if they find anything bad? Or will I have to wait until I can speak to my consultant?

 

[phonixgirl]

I hope clomid works, Snowbee.

Millie - do you know if it's an internal one? I assume it is. I was told I had polycystic ovaries there and then. Xxx

 

[xMillie]

Also AF is due either Sat or Sun will that be ok for the Ultrasound? I don't remember them saying that it is or isn't... All I know is I have to drink a lot before D:
