hey ladies,

There are a few of us who are ttc after mc's, however there will be ladies out there who are also ttc for the first time or second or third without success. If anyone is on, considering or had success on a super ovulation programme then do join us. How long did it take ? Did you try IUI with it.. ? Did you have PCOS?

Kicking this off and hoping some of you will join....

Can Central Homecare help? If you ring them quickly they might be able to deliver today, since they use a courier?

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 10:41

01420-543400 is their number, and since they deal with Mr S all the time they might accept a faxed prescription from Louise?

Pebbles73 · 02/10/2012 11:28

Thanks so much Ari you have been do helpful but just rang them and they can't do same day delivery.

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 11:29

Oh darn, sorry, I had hoped they might be able to. Is Epsom a schlep from where you are? (geography NOT my strong point! :) )

Pebbles73 · 02/10/2012 12:35

Right have managed to sort it out and local Tesco getting it on this afternoon. Smile

Thanks everyone for your help, is amazing to have this network.

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 12:38

Fantastic! I hope they're not charging you an arm and a leg for it? And GL with the SWIing .. :)

Lurking for news of abney's scan ...

Abney · 02/10/2012 12:48

Hi all, Just got back from Epsom and thankfully there is a strong heartbeat. I didn't look at the screen this time as I was too terrified. I had worked myself up into a state of pure negativity so it is still taking a while to sink in. It measured 7.4 which is in the correct range. Sadly he said that it looks like there was a twin but it is now just a 'product'. He said that the body would just absorb it. Anyway I am so relieved. I am still shaking. Just had my 2nd set of intralipids. Ari I hope you are OK. Thanks for your wishes. Just need to hope and pray I can now reach the 9 week stage.

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 12:56

Oh that's just fantastic news abney, I'm so very pleased for you!!! What a great lot of good news we're finally getting on this thread, long may it continue :)

jaffajiffy · 02/10/2012 13:35

abney fantastic news! So lovely to have a HB, and once you're at 8weeks, there's a 2% chance of mc.

ari hope you're still hanging in there.

pebbles I'm surprised you're not already on 7.5 mg. But your last scan had better follicles, right? What a palaver with the ovitrelle. Glad you sorted it. I don't want to be annoyingly chipper, but I had one small follicle when I conceived. It only takes one, and the evening primrose oil might be the secret weapon!

I have a pack of progynova going spare if anyone wants it -? PM me and I'll send it to you.

Waves to all x

Pebbles73 · 02/10/2012 13:57

Great news Abney you must be so relieved! Smile

Thanks Ari., need to get started tonight just in case! How are you feeling anyway?

I have always responded well previously with at least three so never needed to up the dose. Is strange as I always over react with any kind of stimulation drugs because I have pcos, Mr S said just one if those things.
I am also going to be taking the lovely cyclogest this cycle to try and dirt the spotting out although had stopped last couple of days.

Mel hope your scan on Friday is better and you aren't feeling too disheartened.

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 14:15

Well I'm trying really hard not to, but I am of course going slowly and quietly mad. Someone should ban Google. I mean, I've done this all before, I've seen it all before, heck I've Googled it all before, and of course just because you read women saying "oh I had low hCG/faint pg tests for days and it was all fine" does NOT mean that is the case for yourself! I'm not going to test again until one week past when AF was due, next Sat, and then if the FRER is still faint, well I know the answer for definite. It's like I'm a split person - one half of me is shouting "you've seen this before, you know this is an early miscarriage, you'll start spotting in two weeks' time", but the other half of me is stubbornly saying "well you never know, stranger things have happened". Half One of me is quite disgusted with Half Two, and has stomped off muttering about insanities and pie-in-the-sky attitudes.

Ok, I'm going quietly insane, I did say so, right? :) The hard part is, I am most likely not going to actually know for a couple of weeks - it seems to take that long for my body to wake up and realise things aren't working properly even with a CP/early miscarriage, which ticks me off no end. And I am not the most patient person in the world!

Any of you lovely pregnant ladies got a spare crystal ball I could borrow?

I'll stop muttering now and try to stop my mad Googling ... hard, when you work in IT as I do and so am on a PC all day long ...

jaffajiffy · 02/10/2012 14:55

ari you need hcg tests! I know, more money. But at least only 48h to wait. I did that for my second mc to confirm it wasn't viable rather than waiting. Thinking of you x

duggs1976 · 02/10/2012 14:59

Can't you just pretend you are American and commit to HCG blood tests? One today one Thursday and one next Monday. If they numbers are doubling you are looking ok? It is £50 for a blood test. Could u try that?

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 15:06

Mmm I've thought of that, to be honest - but you know, I did this back in Dec last year, had 3 hCG tests, that showed just-ok levels of rising, and it still ended up in an early MC. And Mr S said not to bother with them. I don't know that they'd give me anymore peace of mind than FRERs, seriously - it's pretty obvious if an FRER line isn't getting darker then hCG isn't rising properly.

It's just me being impatient, really - I should know within 2 weeks anyway, and of course in my heart of hearts I do know. I'm just being silly and hoping where I know realistically there isn't any hope. Someone slap me with the thread's wet kipper, please.

mollieboo · 02/10/2012 19:10

Hello, sorry to barge in on your thread without reading, although I just glanced and ari so sorry for your worry. I know some of you from the pred thread.

Im on mr s's superovulation programme for the first time using letrozole. I finished taking it last wednesday so 6 days ago. Just did a pregnancy test as im feeling bloated and weird and its positive. Is this the letrozole giving a false reading? Hoping someone can help so that I can sleep tonight. Thanks in advance x

Pebbles73 · 02/10/2012 19:31

Hi Mollie I assume if you are doing super ov you had the ovitrelle injection? If so this has hcg in it and we have generally found on here it takes about 12 days to be out of the system and stop showing as positive on a pregnancy test. Hope this helps and sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Meant to say earlier Jaffa encouraging to know it worked for you with only one! Smile

Ari I know the waiting is torture but remember it isn't over until the fat lady sings!!

mollieboo · 02/10/2012 19:41

Hi pebbles thank you for your reply. I haven't had an ovitrelle injection, only the letrozole tablets. Omg am bricking it now as if I am pregnant I haven't taken steroids for a while and am worrying the letrozole is harmful in pregnancy. Shit.

Pebbles73 · 02/10/2012 20:15

I think you must be then Mollie as the letrezole wouldn't cause a bfp! Speak to Louise in the morning and if you have some pred take it in the morning. In the meantime try not to worry, I am sure the letrezole wouldn't hurt. Good luck and key us know how you get on.

mollieboo · 02/10/2012 21:05

Thank you pebbles for the info that's great. I'll get straight on the phone to louise in the morning. Will let you know, what a crazy evening!

Pebbles73 · 02/10/2012 22:15

Your head must be all over the place Mollie but potentially exciting news. Smile

Arianrhod · 02/10/2012 22:23

Mmm I know Letrozole messes with OPKs and fertility monitors but I've never heard of it causing a false positive pregnancy reading, so cautious fingers crossed mollie! Do you know when you ovulated though, as implantation is generally 6 to 10 days after that??

mollieboo · 03/10/2012 09:15

Hi ari and pebbles, im so confused as I ovulated and started pred on 9 sept. I then had a normal period almost 2 weeks later and started the superov prog, but must have been pregnant the whole time. Rang louise, she said its very rare, but I also got pregnant in march and had a period. Am trying not to get my hopes up too much, you know how it is.

ari we are both pupo now. Hope you're ok, its all so stressful isn't it.

Arianrhod · 03/10/2012 10:35

So what has Louise advised you do mollie? Will you have b-hCG tests? ILs? And I think I need a new acronym for me - NRPUAMO (not really pregnant unless a miracle occurs) Grin

mollieboo · 03/10/2012 10:48

ari Louise said to just start pred, clexane and progesterone, book in for intralipids and have a scan in 2 weeks time, and don't panic if there's no heartbeat as I'm probably not as far gone as I think I am. By calendar I would be 5.5 weeks.

I would say pma, but you know your body more than anyone else. Really hope you get a miracle though. I'm not holding out hope either tbh, I've learnt the hard way not to get my hopes up.

Arianrhod · 03/10/2012 10:51

What are you on clexane for, if you don't mind me asking mollie? I'm finding it a bit ironic that I finally got the ok to have it, after asking several times before, only to now not bother filling the prescription as I rather feel I'll be throwing away even more money that I just can't afford!

Well we can hope for two miracles then, how's that? I'm very sure we're due some good solid miracles on here! :)
