TTC for 12 months +

Katie, hopefully the wait isn't too long for you.

Faith I think all cycles take forever haha! Fingers crossed it's not too long a wait for you.

Sweetpea good luck for your repeat bloods today!! looking forward to hearing about a great rise

Bloods are back and good at 624. Repeat bloods next week. So I am actually pregnant WOW.....

Best news ever sweetpea! :-)

WOOHOO! Congrats Sweetpea!!

And best of luck to kiwi!

Sweetpea what fantastic news!!! You're pregnant! Congratulations! You must be over the moon.
I actually forgot to do one yesterday LOL (subconscious telling me no perhaps? lol) but I did do one this morning and it was a stark BFN I know technically it's still too early, but it's not for me. In 5 1/2 years I've never not had a faint +ve on 12DPO, plus it was an already hatching emby and if it had done it's thing I'm sure there would be a sign it had by now. So I think I'm ok with that. I have one more so will do on Friday just to be sure before my bloods on Sat.

Oh storm, i am hoping for you that it is just a bit slow and does pick up for you!

Oh and i am still not sure how i feel about it all. I got the paper work this morning from the clinic so maybe when i sit down and read it i might take it in more.
Thanks HT. My first bloods were 10th (126) 2nd test 14th (624)

Hang in there storm not out yet! I have everything crossed for you!

Has anyone had any experience with a DH being on anti depressants during a IVF cycle?
My DH has just been diagnosed and put on antidepressants and I know they can have side effects like erectile dysfunction and orgasm issues , I'm worried when it comes to egg collection day he won't be able to preform!
If it doesn't rain it pours right!

Faith, my DH was on antidepressants when we conceived our son via IVF and again for this baby. The first time was funny in an awful kind of way, I was recovering from the sedation and the nurse kept coming over to check whether he was back yet! He was dripping in sweat and said he only just managed ! His meds were tweaked a few times, there's no perfect medication, they just seen to work slightly differently for different people so it's worth him taking to his GP, who will hopefully be sympathetic. Things got a lot better and he was better this time, taking his own "material" probably helped too. You have my sympathies, it's tough for us and tougher still when you have to worry about someone else as well. That sounds very callous but I do wish I got to selfishly just worry about myself!

Storm, hang in there. Sending you virtual hugs and lots of positive vibes. As for anti depressants, certainly can effect libo but experince has told me as long as you make DH feel relaxed and little pressure then it's all good. We went for hotel option before cycle as I thought being in the room at clinic with time pressure and knowing everyone knows what your doing would be way too much pressure!

My DH parents are down this week which is good as it's giving me something to distract myself from the constant bouts of waves of anxiety that are hitting me at the mo!! It's that feeling of being up somewhere really high or that someone is about to jump out at you! For some reason, at its worse when I'm driving!! Lol! My driving is crap already!!

That's so exciting sweetpea!

Thinking of you storm

FA called me yesterday, looks like we have about another 1 - 3 months wait for a donor so not to far :) Just have to keep patient now! At least we have made the top of one list haha!
