god, sex for sex's sake... memories... all alone on the sidewalk...

soosy, we were offered clomid by another cons, so might see if i can use both cons. the one in LWH for if when i get pg again and the one here in shrops for the clomid. when was/is your last cycle?

[downbutnotout]

I know soos just trying to make us both feel better....

Wonder if IVF might be our only chance now, but know I shouldn't start despairing yet.

[soosy]

Lissie last cycle January this year, everything perfect 2 grade one eight cell embryos and a big fat nothing. We started ivf for male problem (quite severe). I was pg 1st attempt, but had mc, it took another 9 attempts, 7 years and donor sperm to have DS . So we have two more packets of seeds left as DS likes to call them and four frozen embryos. So we know its not the embryos but implantation that is the problem. I don't even have a hormone problem as my mc was a mmc and I didn't know until 9 week scan. So I think next step steroids and NK cell counts I didn't know the tests were so expensive for nk cells, but I am now nearly 39 and we have spent loads of money on this. Part of the problem is I can't stop doing ivf as we still have two vials of donor sperm and they are nagging away at me, and I can't destroy them either, iyswim.

Why not Shrekmissus I am, people ask and I say, 'well the first one took seven years so I wouldn't hold your breath' it seems to work, they seem quite embarrassed, as they should as it is a bloody personal question.

Londonlottie NK tests are for natural killer cells. Some fertility experts believe that the reason some women don't get pg is because the embryo cannot implant as it is being attacked by over zealous cells of the mother which usually attack viruses, foreign bodies etc. The treatment is steriods and some form immunglobin (i think that is what it is). Any how it is not proven and so not available on the NHS. BTW you should have got drunk last night, it is always good to go mad once in a while.

Hope I'm not drinking on my own....

[wheelybug]

Pops in to say hello - am back from hols - was great although marred by arrival of AF and date of what would have been a year after my due date of the pregnancy I lost. We have one more month of trying before we embark on more tests .

[downbutnotout]

I'll leave the cap off then.

sorry wheely and shreks - very bad manners from me to open the bottle and bugger off, but needs of dh/dd/rabbits intruded for a while there.

Doubles all round I think - here's to operational ovaries and super strength sperm for us all and, failing that, a lottery win would do.

Me too, shreks. Wonder if I am out of my mind working at all when I could be at home "relaxing", when that is clearly the panacea for fertility problems. Oh well...

I had hopes of that too annie, but as dd is off to school in September I think it's safe to say it ain't gonna happen now. In my more positive moments I like to think that this is a good thing, as when my imaginary baby comes it will get more of my attention.

[downbutnotout]

Find this time of my cycle very dispiriting: the bd'ing is over and all I can do is wait. And obsessively stare at my gusset.

[lissielouwithbunnyears]

hello ladies. im sorry that so many of you are stuggling. need another rant meself...

WHY does everyone else have babies? WHY do i feel so guilty that ds plays by himself all the time, because he doesnt have a sibling? WHY does he have to ask me on the way back from the soft play centre where his cousins, their friends and their friends siblings have all been playing together "when can i have a baby bruvver mummy?"

oh, and was about to start a thread entitled what were you posting this time last year and came across a thread asing for advice when seeing the fertility nurse. its been a year. add onto that the 18m ttc before my ep. fuck it, pass the gin!

[lissielouwithbunnyears]

thank you!
