IVF in Dunedin/Otago Fertility Services

Hi ladies,
Just checking in with you - any news anyone?
I am in the 2ww so no news here, over that flu bug thankfully.

Have a great weekend, nice to see a bit of rain but a sunny weekend would be better!

Hi Leanabh,
Had to google what that was!   Great news - exciting time. Keep us posted and if you need to chat drop a message in here.
Hugs

Hi epictraveller,
Ovulating late is so annoying and that is such a shame clomid did not bring it forward - someone on this tread recommended acupuncture to bring ov forward.
You could sure try asking for 100mg. I emailed about a result and Barbara got back to me that day (was a Tuesday).
I keep thinking af is coming - maybe I just wish she would hurry up already so I can arrange my scan. Busy week so hope to keep distracted. Really hope cd1 is not anothet Saturday - that seems to be my only pattern!
Everyone else good?

CD 1 today and it is a bad one - but one good thing is I phoned about HSG scan, nothing booked yet but phoned again in the afternoon and said I would phone again Wednesday . I am not going to wait another 6weeks.
Feel like we are getting no where, even hubby has said we need next step. It will be 3 years later this month.

How are you getting on?

How are others doing?

Hi All. Have had what is going around as well - felt like a bus had run over me and then reversed back for a second go. I have had a few baby showers recently and I said to my husband that I think it is our time (surely)! Was terrible on Sunday - I was at the Warehouse standing there floundering looking for neutral baby items. I feel like someone should appear out of the shelving and slap me. I can see possibly why we don't have children - I would be broke! There are too many cute things. My friend said when she was having fertility issues she would stand in the baby area of any store and just sob. Hopefully I don't get to this stage! Today is the first day of my cycle and I am going to track for this month followed by Clomid in a couple of months. We have a holiday booked in mid June - I keep thinking to myself wouldn't it be great to be pregnant before then!!! Will have to check the schedule to see if it works with my husbands shifts - so I shouldn't get too excited and pick the outfit the baby would come home in just yet.

I hope everyone is doing well. Hopefully you can get an appointment with radiology soon Icecream.

Got the appointment letter for HSG so Wed at 11. Booked the day off and hubby coming too. Would like it to show something but then on the otherhand not!
Have a great weekend everyone

Thanks epictraveller
Your chat looks good - fingers and toes crossed that the clomid worked this month and you can get a bfp and graduate!
Keep us posted of any news

Hehe thanks icecream!! Pretty stoked over here

Good luck for the scan tomorrow! Ah didn't realise you already had a child either, that must make it tough really hope the scan gives you some answers and if it is blocked tubes, that they can get in there and fix it asap!!

I'll be watching for your BFP, I'm sure its not far away!

Hi. I am pleased you had your HSG Icecream - even if you didn't come away with any answers. So where to from here? Congratulations Epic. Fantastic news. I go in on Tuesday to have a scan and then a chat with the nurses at OFS. Been a tough couple of weeks at work and am hanging for Easter. Will be good to have a few days off. Husband is working but I might head up to Central for a couple of nights - my parents will be up there so might take up the dogs and enjoy the long weekend. And maybe eat a little chocolate! How is everyone else going? Much planned for the two long weekends?

Hi there, I've just found this forum. We've been trying for nearly 3 years. Am 40 at end of year and been with OFS nearly a year ( I think? The billion dates in my diary for fertility stuff makes my mind boggle). Have done 3 rounds of clom (first round went hyper and 5 responded so now on 25 mg per day), luteal phase is typically only 7-12 days long.
Also Took prog last cycle and that increased cycle to 30 days! (Usually 19-24 days).
We have given up alcohol, all caffeine etc and still nothing. A friend of mine did 6 rounds of IVF with no result, then she went to an alternative therapies guy who told her she was too acidic...so they went on an alkaline diet and bingo! 7th time lucky. We are trying to do the alkaline diet too.
This cycle Ov is elusive...might have already happened prior to day 12 as bloods and stick tests cant find Lh levels...am wondering if its going to happen much later due to super long cycle last month. Or maybe it's been and gone?
We are booked in for Ivf in the next couple of months. Have been reading online research through Uni about acupuncture prior to ET and after ET and the results are quite convincing. So will need to find an acupuncturist who is flexible to work around the vague ET time frames.
Great to join you ladies in this confusing and overly technical adventure!
