Does anyone have experience of this? Hubby has just had it done and we are nervously awaiting the outcome!

hiya girls, hope everyone is ok. No wonder you're excited pink about seeing the consultant. Sounds like you're going to get loads of info on how things are progressing and different avenues etc.. Hope you get loads of good news xx

Still not much to report yet. Sore boobs, feeling major sick but nothing that I don't have every month so not holding out much hope really.

pinkspook · 17/10/2008 16:49

hello lurky! When is your hycosy shm? Its true, not a lot happens for us on this thread and there are not many of us to keep it moving but as long as we all check back in now and again I feel it helps - talking to people withvery similar "ishoos" certainly helps me anyway!

shm · 17/10/2008 16:43

[lurk] I am still waiting to get a hycosy thingie...dp has given another sample but no results yet. So not posting because nothing's happening!

pinkspook · 17/10/2008 11:21

We should get the feedback from the tests and scans we have had so far and also maybe a referral for DH to a urologist?? [hopeful emoticon] I have decided I will enquire about IUI/IVF and where we go from here with regards to what we can get on NHS etc. Scared but excited! How are you?

welshlinz · 16/10/2008 20:36

ooh thats great news pink. What will you find out from this consultation ? Is it more fertility tests or have you decided to try IVF ?

pinkspook · 16/10/2008 16:47

lurking even

pinkspook · 16/10/2008 16:47

Hiya linz - I am always kurking about here! Good luck for this month I see the consultant again on Monday - cant wait! xx

welshlinz · 16/10/2008 14:27

hello guys... anyone still lurking round on this thread ??

hope all is well with everybody. Just thought I'd check in and keep the thread going. Not much to report really. Still a week and a bit to go before my AF due so no doubt will be back on again soon doing my usual phantom symptom spotting

pinkspook · 12/10/2008 09:33

I think you'll never be able to rest if you dont at least give it a try despite what fortune tellers may say. I wish you the absolute best luck in the whole world, I really do. Send some luck my way!

KatieDD · 11/10/2008 09:56

It's £5k in total. So I'm thinking use his £5k for one go, shhut up about it then save another £5k if it doesn't work and have one more go, then that really will be it.
The trouble is every fortune teller I've ever seen tells me I have three and I don't know if I'm mad to believe them or if they are trying to save me from myself

pinkspook · 11/10/2008 08:50

LOL at the knitting

So its 5K with the sperm aspiration or is that extra on top? I am trying to price things up you see

How exciting! so we may have some news on this thread soon! Keep us posted.

KatieDD · 10/10/2008 20:06

Ah thank you.
It's a long story but Dh is about to be made redundant in November and has several jobs in the pipeline so am not worried (well yet) but basically if he gets a job quickly I get the go at IVF, if we have to live on his redundancy money for a bit then I don't.
So I am trying not to get excited, but obviously am almost knitting and doing lots of research but not booking.
By all accounts in our situation where there would be no fertility issues if it wasn't for the vasectomy then it should happen first time. It's £5k hence why I only get one go.
But I have promised I'll shut up forever if the timing doesn't work out, May 2009 is the latest, (well Jan 2010 really) so I have everything crossed, god knows we're due some luck.

pinkspook · 10/10/2008 19:44

Whew! I was reading my posts and wondering what I'd done

Have you sorted out anything WRT sperm aspiration/IVF yet? I am intrigued by the idea of it. I am going to ask about IUI at my consultant app on the 20th.

Glad you came back!

KatieDD · 10/10/2008 19:33

Gosh no not you, the thread has been deleted so I won't drag it all up again, but somebody was being an utter cow and not abiding by the mumsnet rules, so I spat my dummy.
All sorted now, sorry for the confusion and drama

pinkspook · 10/10/2008 19:25

What did you have issues with KatieDD? Hope it wasn't anything I said??? Am mega confused!

KatieDD · 10/10/2008 12:36

Soory was throwing my toys out of the pram, mumsnet have now deleted what I had issues with so am sneaking back again hope that's ok ?

welshlinz · 10/10/2008 11:57

Good luck Katie xx will keep everything crossed for you that things go well x

Pink, I'm so sorry to hear about your DH's grandma. Hope you get through today ok x

The only reason I'm laid back this month is because I've had a stern talking to myself. I was beginning to get consumed in ttc.. checking charts to see when I might be ovulating etc and tbh, I've kind of figured with DH's sperm results it's not very likely we're going to be successful so I've decided to just go back to how things were before. No checking of dates, just doing it as and when we feel like it and if we are blessed to get a baby out if then our dreams will have been answered. It's the only way I can deal with things if I tell the truth.

Hope you have a great weekend xx

pinkspook · 08/10/2008 21:03

Good Luck KatieDD - let us know how you get on xxxx

KatieDD · 08/10/2008 19:57

Sorry guys, good luck am off, never come across anything like it on an internet forum.
Take care and I hope you all get your babies
Katie

pinkspook · 08/10/2008 19:11

Kate thats amazing and scary and I wish you 100% luck. It looks like we are going to go for maybe IUI followed by IVF Vasectomies are evil

Hiya Linz I wish I could be laid back like that. I have had a really poop week. We found out DH's grandma was dying the other day and within about 10 mins of that phonecall an old woman reversed into us on a car park - to cut a very lomg story short, she admitted fault at first then when we rang her to offer her the chance to just pay for a replacement light which she had broken, she blatanlty lied and said we hit her felt like such idiots for trustung the old boot and not seeking other witnesses but she admitted fault. so now the whole process of trying to prove WE are not lying is going on and its DH's grandmas funeral on Friday

KatieDD · 08/10/2008 18:51

Hi All,
I think we've decided that he's going to have sperm aspiration and IVF and give it one shot.
Emotionally I don't think either of us could cope with all this waiting and trying and it not working, so it either does on the first go or else that's it for me
I was so hoping one of you would be pregnant by now, it's so unfair isn't it.
Am praying hard for all of us.
Kate
xx

welshlinz · 08/10/2008 18:31

Hi all,

What's up pink ? You sound major stressed at the moment. Is everything ok ?

KatieDD, is your DH having the op at the end of this month or is he going for his consultation ? Whichever, great news !!!!

I'm adopting a really laid back attitude this month towards ttc as tbh, I just want to have a month off if that makes sense.
I haven't worked out any of my cycle dates or ov dates and we're just going to get fruity whenever we feel like it instead of obsessing over when my most fertile days are !!

pinkspook · 07/10/2008 18:17

Hi KatieDD - Mega fucked off TBH. Rarrrgghhh I hate TTC. (Can you tell Im due on on friday?) I am going to want some serious answers off that bastard consultant or his underling - whatever on 20th Oct

KatieDD · 06/10/2008 22:26

Nothing to report here, just planning half term/activity's and getting the house as sorted as I can for Christmas, trying not to think about babies but next door is due one any day so impossible not too lol
Hope everyone's well

ghostlywhitemook · 06/10/2008 16:43

Well, hope you had a good night out anyway. I am due on on Friday (have tested this am and its neg so not for me this month I guess

I have seen Attila (who knows lots and lots about fertility etc) on here say that its perfectly normal to have the odd anovulatory month so maybe thats what it was all down to?

I was thinking of Pinkspook rather than ghostlywhitemook...hmmmm yes I'll try that
