First Fertomid Cycle, New Here

I just HAD to share this with you guys.

I told hubby my 'pool analogy' about the swimmers being fine, it's the pool that's defective and his response was, 'The pool's awesome. It's the plumbing.'



How I love that man.

Thanks TCS!!!

Will be looking into that at once!!

Glad all is well with you! I wonder how Cynthia is? Haven't heard from her in a while...

Morgan i love your sense of Humour!!! good Going... I can sense your how positive you are...

Listen, i want to share with you ladies something that you all may want to try or not try.. My cousins is a psychologist. she knows that i am pregnant and also my history. she told me about a few apps for iphones ( which i have) for meditation and calming you down. she went into detail about what it does for the body and the brain and how certain hormones are released and how good it is especially when you are trying to conceive and are pregnant.
i reckon you ladies should try it. i have been hooked on it every night before bed. its amazing, soothing and calming. you feel great!!!

the one is called - "Simply Being" and the other is "mindfullness"
i am sure there are other apps and im sure all cellphones can download these or others


Please try it ladies!!! it works to make you feel good!

Have a happy and blessed day!

Thanks so much TCS!!!

You will see, all will be well when you go next week! I believe that it will all good to go!!


I'm feeling good and positive. Still a bit nervous though but hey, it'll work out fine, I'm sure. Going to get the swimmers so damn close, they have no choice but to do a good job!

Although, technically, it's not the swimmers fault but the pool...

hahahahahahaha!!!!

Awesome day to all!

Hope the rest of you are well!!!

Hello Ladies!!

OK, so I went to see gynae. First thing she asks when she saw us was, 'I hope you have good news for me!' She looked disappointed when I said that we didn't and said that the last time she saw me (in December) I had a nice big egg and she was 'really positive' about that.

She asked what we would like to do now. Would we like to try a medicated cycle and see if it works this time round or would we like to dive in and do IUI.

I told her that the fertomid pills worked, I felt myself ovulate and she also saw herself that I had a nice big egg so, the pills aren't the problem. It's the tubes, then she looked at radiologist's report from hsg test and said that he wrote that the right one is blocked and the left one is partially blocked so she knows that that is a problem.

She also said that with IUI, the sperm is injected via a plastic tube very close to the mouth of the tubes so that they're closer together and don't have so far to swim to find the egg.

So, after that discussion, we went to have an internal sonar which just once again proved that my eggs don't become big enough. This month's egg isn't even a cm big I think I've made peace with that little stumbling block because at least the pills help with that.

Was given a prescription for femara or something (can't make out her writing!!) which I have to start taking CD 5 - 9. Then have to see her again on CD 12 / 13 to get trigger shot and then within 36 hours I should ovulate and have to go back to see her again so that IUI can take place.

She also said that this time she's going to give me a progesterone supplement or something that will (when I conceive) help to maintain the embryo.

You guys are so quiet. Hope everything is ok...

Lots of love and baby dust.

Good Morning ladies!!

Sorry to have been so quiet! Was hectic, hectic, hectic!!

Cynthia, I am so sorry!! I honestly don't have the words to express my sorrow for you. I can't understand how something like that can happen or why?! It just really boggles the mind.

Meisiekind - glad to hear that it went well!! Also really, really hoping that the ops will make a difference in the future! Waiting till March though - goodness! At least then FS will be able to say yay or nay on the ttc front.

TCS and Betti - How are you guys feeling?! Hoping you guys are absolutely fine and dandy.

I have an appointment with gynae tomorrow to hear what she says about IUI and what meds I must take now, what to expect etc., etc., etc.

I'm feeling excited and nervous about it. Also a little scared that even IUI won't help and we'll have no other option than IVF. Fingers crossed though.

Lots of love to you guys.
