Keeping each other company (thread 2)

Just did a digital….. I can’t believe it xx

Hope so @Cruz86 @Lucyasc @FlyOnTheWall89 Xx
they’ve said long for me too, have they said about taking melatonin I’ve been taking for 2 months now xx

@Ladylou17 I can defo see a line fingers crossed for you x

@Ladylou17 long sadly but I think it's quite standard and probably the best for large egg collection. Just hope I respond okay with not too many side effects. Well if that's 8DPO, I think that's quite positive because there is defo a line.

Oh @FlyOnTheWall89 thats exciting! Are you doing long or shift protocol?
im only 8DPO but have felt a bit off xx

Oooo @Ladylou17 there is something there. How many DPO? we are starting next cycle I think 🤞🏻, but would LOVE to get that pre-IVF positive!

Better pic x

Hey @Cruz86 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc how are you all doing?
@FlyOnTheWall89 ive had all work up for ivf too to start in 2 months but I’ve taken a test this morning and got this- what do you think?xx

Hi all so sorry I've been gone for so long I stopped receiving notifications and everything has been so busy since the wedding! How is everyone doing? We are still trying this will be our 3rd month trying using ovulation tests, I've found I ovulate later than the average predicted day on the apps usually about day 17 or 18 and I've now got myself worried my luteal phase isn't long enough as my cycle is between 28-30 days. I'm also trying to focus now on losing some weight as I am a plus size woman so hoping this will help us. Just been finding TTC a lot harder recently but i need to relax during the 2WW! Hope everyone is well ❤️ xx

Wow 16 weeks has flown. I was just thinking how everyone else's experience fly by whereas my own feel like they are going at snails pace. That's really exciting and I'm so pleased all is okay this time. I'm definitely feeling much happier now we have a plan. The hardest bits were 7-11 months when we didn't know why things were taking a while and then more recently just making that decision to give up naturally. I'll keep this thread updated for sure xx

Hi @Cruz86 how are you doing?!

We are going ahead with IVF. It should happen in the next few months - depending on my cycle and my OH being away for 2 weeks which can't be changed. It has been a tough, but we are ready now. X

Hi! @Ladylou17 any update from you?

I had my HSG and it was totally fine and everything looked normal. I'm having a call with the doctor on Thursday so I'll ask about an AFC. I was in the radiology dept for the HSG so I don't think I could have a my follicles checked as part of that appointment.

The lack of pain and zero spotting makes me think there wasn't even any tiny blockages so I don't hold out much hope of this boosted fertility stuff. X

Yes please let me know @Ladylou17 and let's hope it's a success with little to no side affects. Good to know re HycoSy - I'll call next week. 13/14 months now I think. We have MFI but not to the point where it definitely won't happen naturally, just that it will take longer than normal. X

@FlyOnTheWall89 yes my doctor did afc at the same time as the Hycosy. Around 14 months but that’s with the mmc as well. How about you? To be honest I’m glad I went cause all my other tests were normal.
I have a scan next week to check my follicles with letrozole I’ll let you know how I get on. I feel absolutely fine so far so fingers crossed xx

@Ladylou17 I think I'll push for 3 medicated cycles post HSG. Mine was 10.7 so I expect my FC not to be great. Maybe they can do a scan when I go in for my HSG on day 9 of my cycle. I've had 2 days of almost like EWCM which I never get at this point in my cycle so allowed myself to be hopeful but temps and BPM down so must be knocking on the door of AF. 😭 how long have you been trying? I can't remember? Xx

@FlyOnTheWall89 yes I totally agree I was a little shocked. I said I’ve taken one dose of letrozole so can you continue with my monitoring initially they said no but I work for the nhs so know they can’t really leave you without monitoring with risk of super ovulation. I’m hoping this month will be it. If I were you I don’t think you have anything to lose with trying letrozole before big step into ivf and the evidence suggests it’s got a 30% chance better than 0% right.
Yes my AMH was 9 so not great really either. Hope you are doing ok xx

Hi @Ladylou17 no news here. About to start AF again. I am going to ask for a follicle count and if a medicated cycle is worth trying but I presume they'll say no as I ovulate every month. Have you had an AMH blood test? They do seem to jump to IVF as if it's no big deal but tbh we are still not ready to do that. X

Hey @Cruz86 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 hope you are all doing ok xx
I’ve started letrozole this cycle, bit of a whirlwind to be honest. Finally had my formal fertility appointment she said everything normal apart from slightly low follicle count for my age so would say to start ivf. I said when? She said oh in a couple of weeks 🤦‍♀️ and she wouldn’t have recommended letrozole as I ovulate well on my own. But I’ve decided to do it and have a scan on day 10 and see where we go before moving forward with anything else. Cross your fingers for me ladies. Hope you guys are all well xx

Hi @Ladylou17 @Cruz86 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc

Sorry for my radio silence. Like @Cruz86 I’ve been so sick and nauseous and very much useless!!!!

@Ladylou17 I’m so glad olive got answers but I can imagine that was so hard to hear. Sounds like you are really on the path to your BFP now. And you wasn’t imagining those faint BFP!! What cycle day are you?

@FlyOnTheWall89 that’s great about your OH % I hope your appointment went well! The ball is really rolling for you too!

@Lucyasc hope you had an amazing wedding and honeymoon.

@Cruz86 how are you feeling? I’m having good and bad days now but my first pregnancy was definitely not this hard 😷

X

Thank you xx yes I have definitely learned when you know somethings not right to keep pushing for answers.
That’s interesting, my consultant said that too. Fingers crossed for both of us sounds like we are on the right path xx
