TTC for 10 months and the rest! 10 plussers welcome! Thread 3 (the one where we all get our bfps!)

[lucieloos]

New thread ready for us chatty ladies! If you have been trying to conceive for over 10 months pop in and join us. We are a friendly bunch!

Thanks all. I had a minor sulk this afternoon, but tonight I'm OK with the fact that it's probably not going to happen naturally for us. I'm glad we tried the fertilaid though as it feels like we've done everything we can before moving to ivf. DP took it harder than I did, bless him but we've decided after talking that we're done with supplements and preseed and 'science' and we will focus on ivf after the wedding. If a miracle happens on between though, we won't complain. I've just sent him for a nice hot bath. He's made do with cool showers for months and he's really missed them, so I told him (and I hope I'm right!) that as long as he doesn't bake himself for hours every night it shouldn't affect our treatment and he may as well have a few now, since stopping them hasn't helped anyway. Just hope this is our only issue now, and that all my blood results come back ok may need help interpreting them when they do Once again, thanks everyone. You're all awesome!

Stealth, that's a fab amount of frosties to have! You must be thrilled!

All the PUPO ladies, I hope you're all feeling good! Fx for you all.

Boris - I've forgotten, did you have any symptoms? X

Sammy I had cramps but I put that down to the progesterone, at first my boobs felt massive but now don't seems so bad, again I blamed the drugs. I now feel light headed but that could be shock..... It's difficult to know what causes what!

Amazing news Boris.....so so chuffed for you X

Hurrah!! Enormous congratulations Boris. So thrilled for you!!

Boris, that's amazing! Massive massive congratulations to you and your DH! Please stick around! We need to know how you're getting on and it wouldn't be the same here without you :)

Lucie, your post yesterday made me smile. Planning to throw everything at the cycle and if it doesn't work then hopefully it will be just a case of transfers until one sticks! Your plans sound really good. Always helps to have a plan

Huge Congratulations lovely, I'm so thrilled for you xx

Thanks all I'm feeling the love today! And spinning, lovely to hear from you, hope you are ok? Xx

Agh sammy are you on oestrogen and progesterone?
My clinic are confusing me, I e asked for more drugs, as I only have enough progesterone (utrogestan) until Monday (OTD). They've come back with a completely different prescription and no treatment plans.

Yes I'm on both. I have cyclogest progesterone pessaries and progynova estrogen tablets + estraderm patches. I was told if I fall of then I would continue two pessaries and 2 progynova tablets every day and a new patch every three days. What have your clinic prescribed this time? Xx

They prescribed both oestrogen and progesterone but a different type of progesterone pills (cyclogest).

My co-ordinatof just came back after I asked questions saying she made a mistake and I don't need to take the oestrogen after all, only the progesterone. I'm confused. I can't beleive the co-ordination can mix things up like that, surely the doctor should know what's being prescribed??

Really? I know 100% that I have to take the estrogen if I get pg. it was the reason my last medicated cycle was cancelled as they thought continuing the estrogen for another 12 weeks might just kill me off!

So is it right that they've changed you to cyclogest?

Do you have an out of hours number you can call to check? Xx

Boris, have you been taking estrogen during the 2ww? If not then no need for you to start them now. Utrogestan and cyclogest are very similar but if you've been taking utrogestan I would just tell her you would rather stick to that.

I've not taken estrogen at all only the progesterone (utrogestan).

Thanks again to you both, I'm so bloody confused by my co-ordinator.

Any ideas how long I should take them for?
