TTC for 12 months +

Kiwi are you calling the clinic about it this morning? I'm surprised too that they havn't done bloods to check it drops to zero - FA always did with me.

Craftea, I'm not sure that I have. I'm going to ask FA again what I've been tested for cause it was over 2 years ago now and I can't remember. But I have wanted to ask about being tested for that as I've read it can have something to do with repeat losses? Are you being tested for it?

Oh I hope Pip gets down to see you guys in Welly soon! I mentioned to her when I went that she had a lot of followers out of Auck that would love a clinic somewhere one weekend. Just with 3 young boys it can be a bit tricky for her to do it as often as she would like - but fingers crossed she does and you've been waiting for it BC so here's hoping!

Thanks Star and Beaker - Star that's great you are doing something lovely with your DH to keep your minds off TTC for a while. And Beaker I hope that little bubba of yours is growing nicely in there

How is everyone else doing?

Not much to report from me after a year away from FA I now have an appointment in 2 weeks with them to get the ball back rolling again.
I can't remember who or if, anyone is doing private IVF with FA, but am interested to know if anyone has decided or for whatever reason decided not to, do their IVF with FA's fertility cover plan? We didn't last time and of course now wish we had!! So I would be interested to hear anyone's experience? PM me if you prefer - and I hope it's not too imposing, the money talk

Hi all!

Mushroom, your scan sounds good and sounds like you have lots of eggs! I'm triggering tonight for egg collection on Friday. Not convinced that we are going to get any better results but need to try and stay positive!

Right results back baseline is good? But hcg is 47 so another blood test next Wednesday. Don't expect to get another af but hcg level needs to be less than 5 before I can start on pills.

Craftechic I've just been tested a few weeks ago for mthfr which was suggested from my Accupuncture lady, it took a few weeks to be done and my gp had no idea what it was but it came back with one heterozygous so I carry one strain of it which isn't so bad (apparently) I have been good as to not testing too early but I believe I've probably had early mc at least twice in the last few months and this may have been why??
I now have started taking a stronger more suitable type of folic acid that hopefully my body can process? Time will tell I guess, I believe it's worth having the test it's just another of the many bloods we do.

"Beaker" I'd be keen on the opks if no one else has put there hand up?

I got it from iherb its called Thorne - Methylguard plus has b12 in it also so makes your pee glow lol like too many berrocas

Yay, go Mushroom and Nik :-)

Lots going on in here! I find it a little hard to keep up these days. I'm on my first cycle of Clomid - 25mg from days 3-7. Had a scan in Wellington on Saturday and it showed one 19mm follicle on my right ovary. Progesterone blood test on Monday, and I guess we'll see what happens from there.

Good luck to everyone starting their IVF journey and congratulations to everyone who has got their BFP or had their first scan!

How you feeling Rosie, Nik, and Mushroom :-)

Exciting day today ladies - for me, just because it's Friday but mushroom and Nik good luck today hope the transfer and scan goes really well!

Thanks for sharing your stories on the fertility cover ladies. It really is a hard decision to make. Even though you'd be super stoked for the first round to work, I'm sure it will be hard to not think about the rest of the money.

Monkey that's really interesting about the MTHFR testing. So did your GP end up doing it for you?

Minik8 good luck with the clomid cycle. Sounds like you have a nice follie growing in there
