TTC 12 months buddies please

[Whilstwewait]

Hi,

We have just hit the 12 month mark of TTC and looks like AF is on the way I am on another thread that's really supportive but I do find it disheartening when people get positives on the first couple of cycles of trying. So thought I'd start a thread for anyone around about the year mark. It'll be good to share things and get advice from people who are at a similar stage to me. Im 34 and my husbands 36. We are TTC number 1 x

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying.
@kerrym87 its tough, the gents aren't always great at getting things done. I managed to organise it for my other half as I just asked my doctor to send him the form and cup and once it was in the house I nagged him until he phoned the clinic and booked the drop off appointment. We actually had to wait about a month for an appointment so its worth getting on with as he won't have to duck out of work immediately

Hi all hope you are ok. Just home from my fertility appointment. He has referred us through for NHS IVF as he said it is coming up to 2 years and to get the process started. I am also being booked in for another ultrasound as he said the bleeding could be from a polyp but it was possibly too small a year ago when I first had an ultrasound. He also said I could try clomid and progesterone pessaries for 3 months to see if it made a difference. Don’t know how I feel about taking them. I do seem to ovulate so possibly the pessaries I would be tempted by.

Afternoon :) cd8 so fertile week is not too far away for me! Husband had his SA on Wednesday so results back next week we think

@notyetamumbuttrying hope the tww goes quickly!

@Jilly1988 I am trying rhe progesterone suppositories for the next few months, I had no real side affects so I'd give them a go and see how they work out :)

@Motherofkittens28 sorry AF arrived :(

@kerrym87 maybe he is worried about the result? I know that's why some people put off doctors visits etc

@anny27 just curious what do the progesterone suppositories do? or for what symptoms are they prescribed?

@Anitaatje33 since my miscarriage i can have spotting in my luteal phase from about 11dpo so it was to see if the spotting was a sign of low progesterone:)

Thanks @Annny27 and good luck with the SA results!! Managed to get Dh to order proxceed plus 🙌🏾 he moaned about the price and i said well it's cheaper than private ivf!! He soon ordered it 😂

Just a quick poll to see if anyone has had this.....so 8dpo and really itchy on arms, looks like hives, had this last cycle but very mild in tww . Had it 3 days out of 4, anyone else had this?

Hi girls,

Can I please join? We’ve been TTC for 23 months and no positive yet. This is my second cycle of clomid. In my previous cycle I spotted for three days before my period started. This happens every month. So this month my doctor prescribed HCG injections in addition to clomid, one as a trigger shot with Suprecur and another HCG shot 5 days later to improve my progesterone level and help with the spotting. Can I please ask the name of the progesterone supplements you ladies are on and how you take them? I’m curious to see if I can do that instead of the injections.

@fieldsandsun welcome lovely and sorry you also find yourself in the plus 12 months club! We are on month 17 me and my DH!

I take the cyclogest suppositories for progesterone :)

@kerrym87 no I have never had that!

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks! We conceived after 4 months last time so I am like 80% sure he has no problems with sperm but you never know do you!

P.s we need to make a new thread before it gets to 1000 messages!! Not too long

Thank you Anny Are you taking cyclogest because of spotting issues? I usually spot from 11 days after ovulation to 14 days after and then fully bleed. Are you also taking clomid can I ask? My doctor said that will help the egg quality which is why I'm taking it also. I really hope this works for us, if it doesnt we thinking of trying IUI

@Annny27 I don't mind making a new one when it's time. Does everyone want to give me their test dates and I'll add those to the first msg and tag everyone?

@notyetamumbuttrying my DH has been taking proxeed for 3 days now. He says it tastes disgusting but he mixed it with orange juice (not squash) today and said it was much better - just a tip if yours finds it hard to take!
Thanks for making a new thread! My next AF is due 17/10, I never test though.

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks so much! I have a HSG on monday, bloods get tested in my next cycle, currently on CD6

@notyetamumbuttrying AF due 5/10 for me c

@notyetamumbuttrying perfect :D AF due around 18th October:)

@FieldsAndSun yes, I can spot from 11dpo. My doctor said it shouldn't be a problem and I did actually conceive after 4 months but ended in miscarriage at 12 weeks so he said I shouldn't have a progesterone issue but that I cant harm to use them and see if it works :)

No I a. Mot taking clomid but I have heard it can improve egg quality if you take them even if you know you ovulate

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying next AF 22/10 for me

Thanks Anny I hope the extra progesterone works for both of us 🤞
Yes please can I be added, AF due 28/09

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying AF due 08/10 here xx
