@KatRee did they say if they could unblock it and if so when? X

KatRee · 03/06/2021 14:11

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I asked if they could unblock it and he said no, but now I'm wondering if he just meant he couldn't flush it out there and then with the dye as I've had a quick Google since I got home and seems like there are sometimes options. We have a follow up consultation next week once we have AMH and SA results so I'll try to find out more then. I'm not really sure what what it means atm. First I was pretty gutted and had a good cry, but maybe there's still hope

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 14:20

@KatRee So sorry, must have been horrible news. I also thought they could do something like a laparoscopy?
The good news is someone's going to look into it, treat you, and it would explain why it's taken a little longer as you've had less chances to get pregnant. Hopefully the follow up appointment can put your mind at rest more xx

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 14:25

@KatRee also please ignore this if you want, because it does sound like woo bs. But I was told to do castor oil packs. Did them with acupuncture. They are meant to help with blockages and people used them for totally blocked Fallopian tubes. Some reviews here www.amazon.com/Heritage-Store-Castor-Oil-Pack/product-reviews/B009V11TMW

If nothing else, it was 45 mins with a pack and warm hot water bottle on my stomach every other evening - so relaxing and slept so well after

KatRee · 03/06/2021 14:36

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 Thank you- I will definitely take a look at Castor oil. I'm definitely open to alternative treatments.
Yeah, in a way it's a bit of a relief that there seems to be some sort of explanation for why we've never had even a hint of a bfp after so long.
Speaking of BFPs, how are you getting on? X

Noodella18 · 03/06/2021 14:57

@MgW1 thanks for the advice, I'd definitely feel more comfortable going to epu direct rather than bothering my gp! I'll see whether I can self refer, although I'll need to wait until I'm back home. @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 yeah still on holiday and camping! Don't think it's helping my chest at all, I feel grim! Hoping temp is up again tomorrow...

@katree sorry to hear that you had some bad news about your tube - but hoping that it means you can now get some treatment for it cx

Noodella18 · 03/06/2021 14:58

I meany to say, how are you getting on @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 ? All OK after period due date?

Geriatric1234 · 03/06/2021 16:45

@Noodella18 I’d be the same and probably wait a day or two more but I also think if you e been coughing loads that could be pushing out implantation/breakthrough bleeding out. If you can’t see if on a liner/your knickers, it’s not definitely an MC. I shall keep crossing everything! X

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 16:51

@Noodella18 oh poor you, camping while poorly sounds tough. Not nice to feel so grim.

Yeah okay here thank you, away also. Just quite tired. And a bit constipated 😳

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 16:52

How's everyone else?

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 16:59

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I'm ok thanks, just eagerly awaiting for Sunday so that I can see how my embryos are doing and get one transferred! Enjoy your time away, hope you're getting to enjoy the sun ☀️

MgW1 · 03/06/2021 17:09

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Snap with the constipation 😳!!

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 18:09

@notyetamumbuttrying you must be on tenterhooks!! It's so close now. V exciting!

@MgW1 😂 glad it's not just me. I'm meant to be on a romantic break, I'm constipated, windy, and tired

Marvellouslymadmum · 03/06/2021 20:22

@KatRee sorry about the blockage but definitely good you have an explanation and they'll hopefully have a plan of action for you at your next consultation.

@Noodella18 glad the bleeding has stopped now, hope you feel better soon

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 made me laugh about your romantic break 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying are you managing to keep yourself busy? I think I'd be going crazy lol

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 20:39

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I'm more nervous at the mo, will prob get worse as time goes on 😬 hope your constipation sorts itself out, not the one when on a romantic weekend away! Confused
@Marvellouslymadmum yeah just working and then watching tele in the evenings, the usual 😂

MgW1 · 03/06/2021 21:23

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Oh no!!!! Its awful isnt it and not sure what you can take , im just eating more fruit and drinking more water x

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 22:10

@Marvellouslymadmum where are you in your cycle now, any temp changes?

@notyetamumbuttrying it would probably help if you could pass the time in a wine fuelled blur, but sadly probably not the best. Any progress on the house?

@Noodella18 how're you now?

@MgW1 I'll have to sort it out when I get back 😂

How's everyone else doing?

KatRee · 03/06/2021 22:24

Thank you @Noodella18 @Marvellouslymadmum. I guess I got somewhere between worst case scenario, where they tell me all my eggs are gone, and best case, which would have been a tiny blockage they could flush out to magically solve all my problems

Keeping fingers crossed for everyone wherever you are in your journey- new BFPs, ivf, tww, etc xx

Marvellouslymadmum · 03/06/2021 22:26

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 erm cd27 I'll attach the chart from one of the apps - this one has decided I ovulated 15 days ago the other apps don't agree one says it was 5 dats ago, and another has no idea 😂 my temp went back up again today after the last two low temps but it's still only 36.45

Marvellouslymadmum · 03/06/2021 22:28

@KatRee I'm sure they'll be able to do something for you, it's good that they've found out what's going on now though

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 03/06/2021 22:37

@Marvellouslymadmum well on the plus side it looks like you have covered every eventuality!

Marvellouslymadmum · 03/06/2021 22:43

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 who knows! I mean I could've ovulated already but my temps are just all over the place at the moment or maybe I will soon just got to hope we can keep up dtd!!

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/06/2021 10:06

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 haha now that would be ideal 🤪
Dh is sorting the mortgage on Monday (he's a mortgage advisor so that's handy lol) we've got another meeting booked with the developers to meet with the site manager in a couple of weeks. Our buyer is still in place so all still on track! How's things with you?

thislittlebird · 04/06/2021 10:19

Congrats on all the bfps!

Sorry to hear about your hycosy @KatRee but it’s good to know what you’re dealing with. And on the plus side if there’s no way to unlock then all those eggs are still accessible via ivf you need them!

My ivf consult with the Lister was very good (after a shaky start). Loved the doctor, she’s writing a letter to help us battle for tests and treatment with the nhs, then going to make a plan once dh’s results with the urologist are in. Possibly letrozole + trigger shot + scans + progesterone if his results are ok, otherwise straight to ivf short protocol. I really liked her, didn’t push us towards ivf unlike the one we saw in feb (we weren’t ready for it then) which made such a change from my other doctor experiences this past year.
