Immune/natural killer cell treatment when TTC or pregnant (aka the 14th pred thread)

[sunnyday01]

Continuing from 13th thread

One last sneaky message!

I'm sorry determined. This journey is truely pants but it will work out along the way. Sorry lots of hugs x

Ha ha thanks trying! Much appreciated!!

Roll on next round!! ;)

Sorry Determined. It's so cruel to have hopes raised after all this and then taken away. We all now the roller coaster emotions.. And sometimes the low comes with no warning or any particular reason. You have to focus on the fact you can get pregnant. So it's one or both of - good sperm/ egg combo (it's a numbers game and it will happen) or the right immune balance (you're getting the best care, so again will happen).
I'm out again and asking same Qs but hoping the patience of a saint and doing the right things plus a big dose of luck will see me through when time is right. Hope you wake tomorrow feeling much better x

Sorry rosa that af came :(
We all seem to be struggling on here! Surely someone else will have some good new soon. Maybe sunny with her 3 eggs?
I'm feeling pretty pants to be honest :( day 6 po

Morning!

Haven't had DH sperm tested yet - appt is next Weds - i think we just take it in at that time and then a report is sent to our GP in a week or so.

I'm back at work, just trying to get through until sunday when i can test -i'm not sure how i feel this month but trying to stay postive!

Thanks Rosa and sorry you are out this cycle! Am feeling a bit better today (although from a pretty low place not sure how good that actually is...ha ha!) need to get my positivity head on that I had a few days ago before this all started.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to pre-ttc days when I didn't track and analyse anything, didn't take all the meds on certain days and spent stupid money. I know it will be worth it but sometimes I do feel like it gets right in the way!!

Try and keep your chin up trying ...I know its hard but I blame the pred...7dpo was always when I started to feel wretched on it! You are so close!

Thanks guys. I haven't taken the pred this time! I will next month if I'm out. In just really worried as to why I haven't got preg yet. Had a little cry on way to work today :( it's coming up to 2 years since I started this journey and no closer.

I agree determined I wish I had my naviety back! I got preg so quick and the thought of miscarrying was only right at the back of my mind. Now look where I am.

I don't think I'll test early. I find it so disheartening seeing the bfn. I need to try stay postive. We DtD days 12.13.15. Ovulated 15. There's a chance...

someone else at work has no said they are pregnant - can't escape it this week!

Maybe it will be u this week!

It's so annoying isn't it! It's not their fault but so upsetting and I also hate that I feel that way twds them. I'm trying to go back to postive mode but I can't get back there.

Hope thinking of u, hope all is well x

i hope it is me this week!! Not got a feeling either way at the moment but its still early days!

Luckily the annoucment arrived by email so didn't have to smile politely etc at them. It isn't their fault and I am happy for them, but it just rubs it in more sometimes!

I agree! Now when I see preg people I think - I don't actually know ur journey. They may have had multiple miscarriages, ivf , struggles ttc etc. it's so common just not discussed. Makes it lonely. And the only ones u hear about are the mega fertile ones who blink their eyes get preg and pop out babies left right and center (like my sil!)

exactly - i have a friend with two children and both of them were concieved first go so she has little understading of why i am having issues!!

On another note - feeling v sick this afternoon - went to wilko at lunch and got some pick n mix sweets whilst in there (v naughty as meant to be good on eating this week!), ate them all at my desk (what a pig!) and then a colleague who got married over xmas brought in some wedding cake, so had a bit of that too! Salad for tea?!!

I had a binge day too yest! We all need them
Sometimes! Am on my diet as put on a few pounds over Xmas and figure it's not great for ttc.

I'm Hungry though! Must shift a few pounds this next few weeks. Are u back to slimming world? How many more so have u got to go? Hopefully this is ur last

i'm back on ww - but doing it online as the meeting in my village is 7-8 and i can't wait until 8 to have my tea!!

Generally on the pred i don't get too hungry but somedays I am hungry all day!!!

This is round 5 so one more after this i think - haven't seen Dr S in a few months as been having scan locally so going to try and see him next month if this month a no-go.

ahh sorry sunny, so annoying...thank god it was on email! is the pred making you feel rough or are you sure its not a sign??? :)

Trying sorry to hear you got upset today...I hope you are feeling better this evening...I know its hard but try not to think of days/deadlines/milestones...I do it all the time but the better I am at not being sentimental the less sad I get. I know its so hard and you just want to be preggo but it will happen! keeping my fingers crossed for you guy xx

How r u feeling today determined? Have u spoken to Louise about the recent chemical? Is af in full Force. I hope ur holding up ok x

Hula thanks for ur advice yest. U are talking the voice of reason. For
Some reason when applied to
Me I seem to think the worst. But yes def not in ivf territory (yet!). I would be saying the same to one of the girls on here I'm sure. Just can't believe forMyself!

Evening all.

Sunny nooooooooooooo to the email! Trying is right try telling self we don't know their stories!
Hope it's your turn this month! Cycle 5 has a good ring to it!

Trying how you feeling?

Determined how are you today?

Hey rosA , hula and anyone I have missed.

First day back at work for me today since Christmas and it came as a shock! We didn't have new pregnancy news but receptionist is pregnant but I am very happy for her 2 mc and her life has been tough since child hood so got to be pleased she has something wonderful to look forward too.

However engagements galore another thing I long for lol! No cure for a man that doesn't wish for marriage though hey? X

I found this.

What did you find trying? A cure for non marriage men?

Oh did it not work? It's a picture/phrase?

Sorry ur dp not proposed-Is he not into the whole marriage fiasco?

I like that quote trying - very apt!

Not feeling nausea today - def ate too much too quickly!!

I seem to be ok on the pred - I get bloated towards the end of the 10 days but apart from that ( and the odd day where I can eat and eat) I don't find them much of a problem.

Hi ladies!

Love the quote trying!

Ah Dildoos that's annoying, nice but annoying!! Have you dropped any sledgehammer style hints?

So I spoke with Louise and same info as last time. Stop testing, (I cant) keep taking the meds and increase cyclogest if spotting increases (it has stopped today but again did that last time). Pred masks symptoms etc. I feel just like I did last time and not in the slightest bit preg at all so am hoping full bleed will start the next couple days and I can move on.

I am also having loads of cramps and twinges on my left side and ovary too, it's horrible! Wish it would all hurry up now :(

I did make some enquiries about further tests today just to research (feel like I have cheated on Dr S :) ha ha ) but I feel like I have a bit of control when I actually don't.

What a nightmare hey!!

Ah yes, bloating...I know what you mean! a few days of pred and I feel like I have puffed up already :(

Oh determined I hope that af doesn't come and it was just an implantation bleed thing. I really really hope so. What r the tests doing? Getting darker or lighter? Has spotting fully stopped?
