Trying for a 2017 Baby

Thank you Pinky xxxx Good luck too and I hope all goes well for you, keep in touch xxx

Oh well - glad that is then not just me that thinks people are going nuts this time of the year.....will share my story later (had an encounter with a lady in a shop....)

Pinky: So...hmm...you have some homework to do over the next couple of days! Enjoy!!

Nicola: GL preparing for the HYST. Advice.......quit drinking any gassy drinks or food about 48 hrs prior to the op. And then - avoid it after the operation until that horrible shoulder pain decreases.

Liza: WHOOHOO!!! So....here you go!! What protocol are you using? Short ?? (I assume) - meaning you are only to start stimming on CD3 and carry on until around a day or so before ER?? How many vials are you to use? I used Menopur and Lucrin. Did not respond all too well - but we nevertheless fell pg on our 2nd IVF!! You have such a good chance!!
Yes, we are saving to start with IVF around Des/Jan (depending on my cycle). I did not OV last month on 2.5mg Femara - so we have upped the dosage to 5mg this month. Currently CD24 and waiting to hear what my progesterone count was on CD20. If no OV - we will try 7.5mg Femara for this next cycle and if not successful we will move straight onto IVF.

Hi

@Nicolaf, good luck with the laparoscopy , We will have you in our prayers.

@Liza, good luck with the injections, are you getting DH to do it? Think I would be to scared to do it myself. Following journey on IVF tread.

@Sammy, welcome, you will be right at home here and learn a lot from the ladies, i have only started to chat here in the last while but have been stalking for the last few months.

Morning ladies!

Hope you all are keeping well!

@ Joo-ste I've also think the last months of the year is just mad. I call it "the silly season" Good luck with this cycle! Are you still planning IVF for Dec?

@ Sammy you are definitely on the right thread! Here we support and encourage each other as no one knows better what one is going through other than the ladies here. If i speak to DH (Darling Husband) about the group i refer to all of you as my"
"Ïnternet Sisters''

From my side we are officially in our 1ste IVF cycle, i saw the FS this morning for my CD3 scan. Everything looks great and i am as healthy as a horse! So starting the injections tonight. Will be doing an internal scan on Monday CD9 to see how the eggies are doing. Then we would decide on the time frame for the rest of the cycle. I'm praying that this works!!!

Morning everyone
Things have been so crazy lately -

(Do you guys also feel that everyone gets kind of crazy during the last 3 months of the year??)

Sammy: Such a sad story. I am so sorry for what you have been going through. Some of my placenta also stayed behind after we lost our little on on the 20th of July (also at 10 weeks). Had a D & E and ended up needing to have another hysteroscopy and polipectomy on 11 Aug to remove placental tissue. So sorry that you then still needed to to chemo and all the make sure that all those cells were dead. I've read about it before. Crossing my fingers for you for this round!!

AFM
Currently on CD24 - - - patiently waiting.....

Good morning all
I really so hope that I am in the right place and "joining" the correct Thread.
Please excuse that I am new to Forums and still trying to understand a vast majority of the abbreviations.
Thought I would explain my story and why I am here now. So feel free to skip ahead if its too much to read
Last year this time I finally got my first BFP. It was our first try with IUI after 1.5 years of hormones and OPK's and zero success. I have PCOS and have no period (which ultimately means no Ovulating) without actually taking hormones to kick start things.
Anyway, at 6 weeks we saw our little miracle's heart beating and were over the moon! Did an entire Christmas announcement to our parents, etc. At 10 weeks we went in for a scan, only to find out that I had miscarried. After my D&C the dr informed us that we had a "Partial Molar Pregnancy"... basically 2 sperms entered and fertilised my egg, so instead of 26 sets of chromosomes, there were 39 sets present. The baby started to develop as normal, but the placenta developed into hundreds of little pieces instead of one large mass, leading to the baby starving and my miscarriage. As anyone can imagine, that in itself is one of the most difficult things to have to live through. 4 weeks after my D&C I had to have the routine HCG testing to ensure that my levels were back down to 0 before we could start TTCing again. We then found that my HCG levels were showing that I was 6+ weeks pregnant still. SO basically one of the pieces of Placenta had buried itself into my uterus lining and was continuing to grow. LONG story short, I ended up having to do 6 weeks of Chemotherapy in order to "kill" the growing cells. Thereafter we started the 6 month wait, where I had to go for HCG tests every 2 weeks to ensure that my levels remained at 0 throughout.
So that brings me now to where we currently are! We have been given the green light ot FINALLY start TTCing again and thankfully I am sitting on CD8 today! Going on Friday morning for my FS to measure my eggs and if all looks good, we will possibly do the IUI on Tuesday.
Trying to stay as positive as possible and realistic as possible, although it is difficult! At times the demons from the past filter through and I end up an emotional wreck and at other times, I start prematurely planning and getting excited for things that may take a good few months to come to pass, but I suppose that is just simply being human, right?

So for now..... I am on CD8, counting down until I go to measure my eggs and take things from there!

Loads of baby dust to all and I look forward to navigating your journeys with you!
