TTC for 12 months +

So many exciting things happening in the next few days. I'm glad they could find your other ovary Kumoroa and that all is going ahead for the end of the week. Good luck!!!

And good luck with the transfer tomorrow Faith. I agree with the other ladies... don't drink too much. I did the first time and it was awful. Then I hardly drank much the second time and it was fine (and my bladder was full somehow anyway). Fingers crossed the little snow baby thaws perfectly :-)

AND, things are getting real now, huh! Good luck over the next few weeks.

Hi HT, Storm, Sweetpea, Lulu, and any lurkers who are checking in! I hope you girlies are all doing well.

It's been a while since I posted. After the BFN last month, we decided to jump right into a clomid cycle. So I am on day 17 of that right now. I was super upset for a few days because my first blood test at 10 days (after taking the clomid for 5 days) showed my E2 at 50 instead of in the hundreds :-( I was convinced I was going through menopause because it should never really be that low, and I've never had it that low. But luckily it came up to 300 last Friday and at 600 yesterday. So hopefully OV is just around the corner. Still super late for a clomid cycle though. I'm really hoping that there's more than 1 egg developing too - that's the whole reason we're doing this! Still negative opks, so I'm hoping the E2 keeps going up as an extra one develops.

ADN glad to hear your bk in the game. Hope your feeling okay now the crisis is over.

A.girl, HI! At least your numbers are up high aND climbing. I don't no much about clomid so I hope it all goes ok.

Glad to hear your doing OK kiwi. I would be happy for the move after the last earthquake too.

A question, after a manufactureday transfer cycle did any of your find our cycle length changed? My last one was the shortest it has ever been and I feel like it is coming early again with the pain in my ovaries. Which will put us out for this month as of xmas close down.

ADN glad your feeling better and back on track!

Agirl I'm glad your numbers are getting higher and hope you have success this cycle!

Kiwi good to see your keeping things moving!
I had to do that detour from chch to Blenheim over the weekend and got car sick the road is horrible and takes forever! So I understand your changing being for the best!

Thanks for the wishes girls :) x

Good luck for today Faith! Thinking of you!

KatieA, your right news others are pregnant is not easy and when they don't stop about it, it makes it so much worse! Glad you guys have a session this side of xmas!

Hi Storm! I've been thinking of you lately and wondered how things were going! Bummer about the rough month! Diff a good thing that you are waiting until next year You are right, i am sure our bodies just make up what ever they like when they want too. Time will tell i guess .......

Hi i'm hoping I can join in the discussion.

I'm trying for number two and have been trying for over 18 months now. I've had blood tests at the Doctors and it has shown I am not ovulating :( My progesterone level was extremely low and now I am waiting to be referred for fertility help. Anyone got any advice or tips on how to naturally increase progesterone while I wait to be referred? How long after being referred was everyone seen?

Thanks for your help :)

Sweetpea, my cycles have been all over the place since doing the treatments. They were nice ol' 30 day ones before all this junk and now I've OV as late as day 40!!! I'm on day 18 with no imminent signs of OV, so I'm guessing even with the clomid, it's still stuffed up!

Kiwigirl, you need to click on the member control panel at the top of the page. then from there you just click on the profile tab. It's called your "signature". Good luck!

E2 was only at 730 today (up from 600 on Monday). Though it's an ok rise, my LH was still low, showing that OV is still a few days off. Sigh. Day 18 today... I thought clomid would shorten my cycle.

Faith, I'm not too sure about the sex thing. I have heard that it can draw blood to the uterus which is good for implantation. And I've also heard that the other spermies may help in the whole process. Who knows! I don't think a doc would suggest it if there wasn't good research to back it though. They are really cautious about that kind of thing. I'm glad all went well today!

Storm, maybe a break is a good thing for this month :)

Mama, sounds like it could be PCOS as HT said. Im also trying for #2 and through my journey found out I had PCOS and didn't know I had it before I started. I also have a long cycle, 36-42 days. I don't remember my referral app taking too long but we did have a list of test to do when we got there. Him and me, so keep that in mind. Where abouts in the country are you?

Ht, I took 50mg from days 2-6. My E2 was at 50 when we started, and I had just come off of the loooong manufactured cycle from the FET. I wonder a bit if the 6 weeks of down regulation has effected it???

Well f**k. We had tickets for the 7 Days Live show this week and we totally forgot. Only realised this morning when it was mentioned on the radio. Feeling like a real numpty for forgetting. Also feeling a bit pissed because I apologised to husband for forgetting but he didn't feel the need to apologise to me for forgetting. It's like it's my sole responsibility to look after our social calendar. Ergh, I think I'm blowing this whole thing out of proportion but I'm having a sh*t week and really wanted to go to the show.


Mama, welcome! Do you know where your doctor is referring you? If it's to a hospital you could be waiting a while for an appointment which might not be overly helpful (as they'll then refer you to a fertility specialist). Although you can get some expensive tests done for free through the hospital so it's a good option. However if you can afford it and want to really get moving, going private for a first appointment with a fertility specialist will speed things along.
