Thinking of you today sparkly.

AF arrived this morning, 3 days late. 18 dpo according to FF (I used opks). I think the b complex caused this as it's the only thing I did differently apart from 3 sessions of reflexology but can't see that causing this delay.

I will be getting my day 21 blood results today and then work out where to go from here. I can't go through this much longer.

#######DizzyMerry, ttc#2, cycle 14, AF/bfp due 11 May#######

spinningirl10 · 13/04/2015 10:16

Merry I'm sorry af arrived and so late! It must be the B6. Good luck with your bloodsThanks

New stats for me ####spinningirl10 ttc#3 cycle 24, bfp due May 7th#####

purdiepie · 13/04/2015 10:17

Oh Dizzy I'm sorry. Will be interesting to see those results. What mg of B6 are you on love? Can I see your chart please?

chopsface · 13/04/2015 10:21

Sorry for af merry good luck for your blood results too x

Hi spinning no sign of af. Still on and off cramps/backache but not even brown cm! Also been feeling a bit lightheadedness but think its lack of sleep and lack of fluids (tend to forget to drink a lot on weekends)

night was waiting for af to arrive before I called the clinic, then I was gonna explain that I'd be on Hol in the 2ww. Dreading them saying I can't start it this month.

Obviously if af doesn't arrive today I'll buy a test tomorrow as I'm off work.

DizzyMerry · 13/04/2015 10:23

It was the b complex vits from H&B purdie. I don't temp but will do this cycle. I do have low AMH which was diagnosed about 3 years ago so maybe that's why it takes me an age to get preg. I don't know just clutching at straws at the minute.

Hairstylisttoboris · 13/04/2015 10:27

dizzymerry I'm sorry Flowers

Sparkly123 · 13/04/2015 11:10

Sorry to read and run. Just going to call nurse thanks for good wishes. My frer is positive again today. And more clots.

Good luck Rainy today you can do it!!!! Positive steps!

Dizzy good luck with results lovely well done on getting through the weekend

Ibeka hope you are ok and thinking of contacting epu

Sparkly123 · 13/04/2015 11:12

The line on my test is darker Sad

tessiegirl · 13/04/2015 11:13

Here are my stats which I so hope could maybe help someone else on here...

This was our 6th cycle trying although it was probably the 3rd I would say was really good timing dtd wise. We dtd on days 11,16,17, 18 and 26. I think I ov'd on CD18 although FF has settled on CD16 so who knows?!

I used Onestep ic's and backed them up with Clearblue Dual Hormone opks. Although funnily enough, this cycle I had to rely on only the ic's as I had run out of CB ones!

I started taking folic acid and vit d this cycle and also took Robitussin cough medicine in the lead up to ov to help with cm. We also used Preseed every time we dtd, although only up to the '1' on the applicator. I also drank pineapple juice after ov.

DH had a SA back in October and was told that everything was fine apart from that he had 3% morphology so he has been taking Wellman Conception vits ever since the test. He would also put a cushion under his laptop and would drink maybe on average 4/5 beers a week?

Not much info there but I would love to think it helped someone else... Smile

tessiegirl · 13/04/2015 11:16

Hang in there Sparkly Flowers

Oh lovely, a ball night!! Can't wait to catch up later Smile

Oysterbabe · 13/04/2015 11:18

Interesting about the laptop Tessie. I worry about DP's balls getting too warm in those tight little boxers he wears.

DizzyMerry · 13/04/2015 11:35

Ok, so just had a call from my GP. My progesterone level is 17 and she said it should be 30 and as is very low she doesn't think I am ovulating Sad she also said there is no point in them doing day 3 bloods as a cause for infertility has been identified. She said I need to see her and she will then do a referral to fertility clinic and DH needs to have SA. NHS will help us up to clomid level and then decide whether it not they will assist further.

I'm now not sure what to do! Should I wait for referral or go private? I know nobody can answer that but just want some ideas. Any thoughts on how else I can increase my progesterone levels?

purdiepie · 13/04/2015 11:50

You can't increase them. How low is your amh Dizzy? Do you have a child already? I think you do in which case you won't get NHS assisted conception.

purdiepie · 13/04/2015 11:51

I know it sounds harsh love, but if your eggs are poor and you're not ovulating I would go straight to IVF.

purdiepie · 13/04/2015 11:53

Sparkly, tell the nurse you want beta HcG bloods doing TODAY whilst the line is still there.

spinningirl10 · 13/04/2015 11:55

Merry, I'm sorry to hear of your results. Did she give you an idea of how long the referral would take? If not I would try and find out. If you've got the money then I would have a private consultation and get the ball rolling. You can get these very quickly. You'd need to check that you can move between private/nhs treatment but I think it's usually fine and often you end up seeing the same person anyway!

Tessie, great stats and interesting that your dh's morphology was low. Always good to hear of a bfp following on from that.

Sparkly, make sure you keep your tests. If necessary you could
Post them to your nurse. Thinking of you xx

DizzyMerry · 13/04/2015 12:02

Spinning she didn't say how long it would take but I can ask her that if I do go to see her.

Purdie I hear what you're saying, I really do but I would much rather try something else before going for IVF.
I do have a DD but my progesterone back then was 11 so I don't know what is going on. Don't know the AMH level but they were said to be low.

Mummyofonesofar · 13/04/2015 12:09

Sparkly I hoping the clotting stops - the lines getting darker must be a good thing?

Dizzy I am so sorry about your results.

Purdie What don't you get help with if you already have one child? Any fertility help?

Tessie thanks for the stats!

MelonMelon · 13/04/2015 12:22

Thinking of you sparkly Flowers

chopsface · 13/04/2015 12:27

Great news for me that your dh has a low morphology too tessie

Sorry about progesterone merry :-( what was your amh when you had it done before? Good luck with the referral, whether nhs or private. mummy most places won't allow you to have ivf on the nhs if one of you already has a child, my trust does allow it however. And that's if one of you is the parent not both of you.

Af still staying away! Wish it would come so I could phone the clinic and see where I stand with regards to having iui if I'm going on holiday. Still got cramps which I'm sure are stronger but not enough for pain relief.

Good luck with the call sparkly x

Waves to everyone else, including our lovely preggo grads Pug , dojo and Heir Hope you're all well and that your lickle beans / satsumas / tennis balls or whatever they are now, are blossoming Wink

Sorry that so many of us are having a bit of a rubbish time recently. We do need some good news don't we?

Not much news at all from me, I'm afraid. I have about 3 more days of Norethisterone to go and then hopefully will get a withdrawal bleed after that, then that's when things can get moving again with more blood tests and the HSG. I did have a test for rubella immunity this morning, which the clinic have requested, and hopefully DH will take a sperm sample in on Wednesday, so hoping to have more news in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I'll be lurking and occasionally popping in to say hello and have a catch-up. x x x x
