TTC for 10 months or more, and now we're moving onto thread 4! Ten plussers welcome!

[MPP81]

Thread for anyone TTC for over ten months. Please feel free to join us!

Took the liberty of starting a new thread (with what is obviously a brilliant piece of rhyme!) as I assume everyone else is sleeping peacefully right now :)

Ah lucie sounds like it was a good consult. Bit scary that there might be a bit of something hanging around outside. I don't suppose there's any chance that it's still in the uterus but too small to see like banana's was? Anyway, sounds like you have a good plan, & I'm glad you're feeling comfortable with it.

brenna v v glad the bleeding has stopped.

Happy weekends all!

Stealth, I'm not sure really. I guess there's a chance it's in the uterus but if it was she thought it would have come out by now with the bleeding but then banana has had a similar problem although I guess her hcg was dropping albeit slowly. I have no idea really. She doesn't think it will be any risk to me though whether it's in the uterus or not as it's so small so not likely to cause any damage anywhere.

Well that's the main thing - that there's no risk to you. Hopefully you can relax just a teeny bit and enjoy the long weekend x

Thanks stealth. Hope all is well with you and have a good weekend too.

Thanks lovely x

Lucie - glad you're ok :)

Maple I'm glad the hycosy was alright, and fx you're the statistic who falls pg really quickly after having it.

I'm not sure if it's the Accupuncture, the diet changes or the liquid iron I've been taking. But AF is much more substantial this month. First time since coming off the pill! Please let this mean my linkng was thick and juicy! Xx

Hi all, just an update from me. I'll be starting my long protocol in early June, hopefully transfer wil be first week of July. Apparently if you do get pregnant you've got to do those pessaries three times a day for ten weeks!! My knickers will be ruined!

Itsme, that's great news bet you can't wait tot get going! Haha yes the pessaries are a pain but worth it if you manage to get pregnant.

Sammy, that's brilliant about your af. Really hope the acupuncture is working wonders for you. I really do think it helped me during my treatment.

Yep too excited! I had my first dildocam to count the follies- he said I don't have very many (still in normal range) but prob won't be at risk of OHSS and saw my follicle for this month at 15mm, got told to go home and get busy just in case! It's so real now I'm so pleased we are on our way! What is normal range? How many should I be expecting? I think he counted around 8?

That's great itsme, what is your AMH? On a stimulated cycle I normally only get around 8-10 follicles show up. It's not a bad number if most of them grow evenly but unfortunately mine don't nowadays. On our first egg collection we got 7 eggs so maybe you might be somewhere along those lines although it's impossible to tell as you might find with stimulation that a few more follicles pop up.

Oh and we're going 150 of menopur and ICSI - I assume to make sure we get as many fertilised as possible as not likely going to get a bumper crop...

150iu is quite a low dose. I wonder why they have started you on that. Icsi is good especially if you have male factor. We have always had great fertilisation with it.

I was on 150 menopur too. I think that's the normal starting point.
Excited for you itsme! Xx

I started on 225 Menopur I think it depends on your AMH probably.

Ah I see! My AMH was 19 somaybd that's why a lower dose. Xx

Yea definitely x

This morning's test was a BFN so that should be everything complete now. All have to do is phone the Dr tomorrow and get the referral process underway. At least my body seems to be efficient at clearing out.

Ahh so sorry Brenna it's really hard. Like you say at least your body is efficient at clearing out unlike mine. I think if a miscarriage is going to happen then that's the best way for it to clear out quickly and naturally. What sort of tests will you have done now? Immunes?

Sorry to hear that brenna. At least you can get things moving now xx

And isit fantastic news about finally getting started!

I know! I've been on this thread for it feels like months and months, soon it'll be all over one way or another! Will anyone be cycling with me? Sorry to hear that Brenna x

Itsme - I could be. I don't know if we'll be going with the beginning of June or the end of June yet. Xx

Ah OK well I hope you are! Might need some moral support for the injections lol. I don't know what my AMH is? Hmm! How do they check?

It's a blood test, you're clinic will have almost certainly done it in with all the other bloods.
You'll be fine with the injections. Even if we're not cycling together I'll be here to offer virtual hand holding

Lucie I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. I just read about your appointment, and am glad to see it went well and you were listened to.

Waves to Sammy and everyone else on the bus!
