TTC or pregnancy on prednisolone or similar part 13

Oops should have read...'I hope it will not be long before you find happiness'

A swift check in after several months away. Just want to wish duggs loads of healthy birth vibes as your due date approaches. I know that you and I are similar in our thinking on what helped to stay pregnant i.e healthy sperm, healthy egg. I am so bloomin delighted for you. Also v pleased to see great news from suemays and free. I apologise for not really knowing who else is where, suffice to say that wherever you are on your journey, it will not be long before you find happiness. My gorgeous little man is 9 months old this week and on the cusp of crawling. He still feels miraculous to me and the wounds of RMC haven't quite departed. Much love to you all x

sue thanks for that that, I hadn't seen that before - I'm on SO but still think that it could wor. Will have a propoer read of the link later on!

sunny if you follow the sperm meets egg plan they advise to 'release the sperm' so that not more than 10 days elapse. I followed this plan and am convinced it helped me conceive. www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm

It is - the first time I fit pregnant we only DTD once fir various reasons and it worked then other months we've tried loads and nothing! I sometimes wonder if it's worth doing an early one to get rid of dud sperm (dies that even exist?!) and getting some in the bank!

I know it's hard to know! I never know either. But as ur being monitored I suppose only 24 hrs after ovulation is productive as the egg dies after that..but then it's also good to have sperm in there before you ovulate-but how many days before I don't know?!
The 3 times I've gotten preg I've DTD day 13,14,15,16 (lh surge on 14 or 15) (think the first time I missed out day 14) . However I've done that on many months and not got preg! So who knows! It's all very annoying and complex!

Thanks! The only bit I'm unsure of is only Baby dancing 2 times as we were trying evey other night from day 10 to approx day 21. I keep thinking maybe I should do it a couple more times just to be sure!

Yay sunny day! Hope this is ur month. I find the first 2 weeks go quick but then the 2ww goes sooo slow. I'm in mine now and not feeling at all hopeful :(..also keep stressing out every time my DH has more than one drink - I keep imaging his sperm dying! (Need to chill out!)

Went for my SO scan yesterday - two good follicles again of agood size so he (and I) were happy! Got my trigger shot tonight then back on the pred from Monday - it seems to come found so quickly!

Mattsmama I'm so sorry. Did Louise have any advice? Is this your second quite recently? I hope your getting looked after...
Good luck with all you DTD! Hope you get some luck this
Month!
I got back from holiday yest had a lovely time. I ovulated (well got my surge) out there so hoping with being relaxed this might be my month?! Although it was quite a busy trip with loads
Of walking and early starts!

i'm on letrozole - this is my second month and i responded well last time so hoping this month is as good!

Good luck Hun I've been on gonal f and it will be upped to 450 next time. We Dtd sun and mon and will tom pm too

good luck mel, i stopped taking my tabliets yesterday and have my scan on friday. I always try to DTD the night before the trigger shot, then when dr s advised and also a day or so later just in case!

Thanks rosa hopefully last night and wed enough :/

Oh good luck Mel. Damn those tiny windows .. I sympathise! Hope all goes well x

Just had superovulation I've one at 10mm and one at 21mm, trigger tonight though hubby away tomorrow pm :/

I'm def out this month- roll on next opportunity. How is everyone else this week?

Mattsmamma I'm so sorry to hear this- I hope you are cuddled up with people who love you this weekend. I really hope this is the end of your misfortune .. It's so unfair isn't it. Take care

Sorry to hear that mattsmama x

So sorry Hun it's devastating :(

Mattsmama, I am so sorry This is just so unfair x

Just to update - it's another chemical : (

Sorry for short post - just so pissed off. I'll be back soon

Hmm prob be same cost if I travelled though, but thanks. 99.9% sure am out this month anyway. Have pmt feelings and a BFN today... Looking ahead at work calendar I seem to be away at all the worst times ??

Zita west do intrallipids for £150 and they only last 4 wks when PG... New life clinic and Dr s charge £300 a pop (even though they are supposed to cost £11 so I was told)!!! Those and the super ovulation plan is where a huge profit is made there it seems...

Thanks Duggs and Trying. Will see if can find someone in Scotland to do DNA fragmentation testing as would be awful to keep going with something we can't change against us. And I know- lucky to have support of someone who's helped so many.. Wish knew about him before. Do just need to be positive. Think I need to test day 11. Just feeling a little PMT now but def no preg symptoms. Very hard to analyse though as we all know- especially with the drugs!
Interesting to know the Zita approach. Would consider intralipids every 3 months too. Though thought they were only effective for 4-6 weeks. And £300 a pop they do add up!
Have a fantastic holiday Trying, best of luck and to Mattsmamma. And take care Duggs.. And thanks for all the info
