TTC for 12 months +

Sorry to hear Star that it was a BFN! We are public funded too and the price of paying blew me away when I first looked. It really is incredible

Hi ladies,

I don’t know if anyone remembers me but I was in here a few years ago with ttc our first one. I’m so sorry to still see some of you in here, I often think about you all and where everyone is up to with their journey (will have to read back quite a bit) congrats to any one who has had success, I hope it’s all going well for you.

We have decided to try for our second child now through fertility associaates again (pcos and don’t ovulate on my own) as our little one is just about to turn two. I totally understand the guilt thing when some are still trying for their first. I would give anything to trade places with some of you, some times you just want to wave your fists to the world!

I’m currently back on provera as my cycles are pretty much non existent again 😒 I was lucky to get a year of regular periods after my son was born, but now has turned to sh*t again. Once I’m on day one will be starting puregon again followed with iui.

So I hope no one minds me being in here again, I found this thread really helpful and supportive the last time.

Hey J, I remember you... welcome back. All the best for your IUI!

Fairylight, did you do your IUI in April?

And Roubaix, was it April for your FET?

Baby dust to you all...

Thanks for thoughts on fertility cover ADN - gosh you really did have the long road

Good luck fairylight!

We had our follow up appointment on Tuesday to see what is next for us. My main thing was wanting to know what we can do or when and what the process was going to be after our daughter. I was concerned as I had to have a c-section too (not by choice) and had heard we would need to wait 12-18mnths before getting pregnant again, that scared me. Anyway it went well. We don't have to wait 12-18months. This is apparently just a random number that has been plucked for the air as they can't really test how long you need to wait for all to heal well. But my doc said since its been 6months then she was happy. She has given me a script for folic acid to start now and then we wait. I need to have AF on my own (just finished BF) and then on the 2nd AF if we are ready to transfer we ring on day 2. I was a bit shocked by it all..... You can't be BF still if wanting to transfer due to the drugs as it is not good for bub and it dries up your milk.
I am hoping that my 1st AF isn't too far away but I am also not sure if I'm ready for another.... hubby is chopping at the bit but it's not his body that goes through all this...

Hi, not sure who will remember me but I wanted to stop by and share some hope.
In brief me and DH tried for 3 years no luck, did 3 rounds of ivf(7 eggs transfered and none took apart from the hearbreaking breif moment we thought we were successful only to find out at the 7 week scan it was a blighted ovumn. Any way after deciding we couldnt go through another round due to my age, low odds of sucess and the cost( we never qualfied for funding) we gave up. Trying to find some sort of new direction we did a trip overseas, came back and brought a house. A do-er upper, basically a distraction tool. Fast forward a very nervous pregnacy (in my head only as i was terrified it was going to be one of lifes cruel jokes) Our baby girl arrived 5 weeks early! 6lb 3oz and healthy. We feel blessed but my husband and I still have those on the same journey in our thoughts. /its a journey noone should have to travel.

Wishing you all the best and always hoping for postive outcomes for you all.

Thanks guys, IUI is tomorrow morning. I haven’t had one before, is it relatively easy to do? Did anyone find it painful? I’m sooo nervous!! I have no idea what to expect, yikes!

I remember you kiwigirl, congrats on ur little one xx

Hoping someone sees this, is it normal to feel quite ill two days after an iui? The procedure itself was fine I.e no issues but since that night I’ve had terrible cramping for that night and yesterday and feeling really off. Not as bad today just sort of dull ache. Had a little bit of yellow discharge this morning and am freaking out something’s gone wrong, is this normal?? I’m doing the pesseries and I know they can muck with you but this is such a new experience to me, help!! Just want to know if anyone else has had this?

Fairylight - hope the TWW hasn't been too trying for you. It must nearly be over now? Fingers crossed for you.

Kiwigirl - that's great to hear! Enjoy the newborn snuggles.

AFM... Had first FET last month but a BFN. And have just had FET#2 this morning. 1 more left after this cycle, and then it'll be back to another round of IVF. I'm not trying to sound pessimistic, but the (fresh) embryo that became DD was much higher graded than the frosties and so far they've all deteriorated during the thaw process. I know the grading isn't supposed to really matter - they're all viable - but it is a little hard not to feel a wee bit cynical and that we're spending a lot of money ($1850 per cycle) on something that isn't going to work when we could be saving that for a full IVF cycle.

Congrats Kiwi! Wow, a good size 35 weeker! I hope all is going well :)

Thanks for the update on where you're at Sweetpea. I also need to make that appointment for the follow up. I'm going to do that tomorrow.

Hope all is going well JMM2B and Roubaix.

Hey Roubaix, how are you hanging in there? Only a couple more days wait to go, right?

Thinking of you also in the wait JMM2B!

We have started on a monitored cycle... have decided to do these while we wait to be eligible for public funding again. 3rd day of letrozole, I haven’t noticed any effects yet. Has anyone else tried letrozole? I was on Clomiphene last time I did this.
