Infertility chit chat

lol Hopes yeah it does seem funny to be so excited about an appt at FA but I know what you mean, its neat to be getting one step closer to our goal.

Scaredycat that is so exciting and oh my gosh, not very far away at all I will be praying and hoping for a sticky BFP for you this time.

I went and had the blood taken for my repeat Lupus anticoagulant test today, and she found a vein first go lol which is amazing usually takes them several goes to find my veins

And DH and I are off to Rotovegas for a weeks break away which will be great and by the time we get back our appt will only be about a fortnight away, yay

what a great idea Judith!! We do that with leftovers but never bother to do things that way. What kind of meals do you do when you cook to freeze them?

We just hung at home as Alex is teething so has been sleeping horribly which means of course that so do we. But all good as he is such a happy teether really just doesn't sleep well.

Hey all!

Thought I'd join in here

A few of you know my story, but for those who don't...
I'm 24, DP is 29... I have PCOS & we have been trying since April 07 (with a couple of breaks in there, but off contraception the whole time).
Have had countless cycles of clomid as I don't have a cycle or ovulate naturally, am actually on another one right now as I had a natural AF arrive last week.. big shock!

Anyways, better sort myself out!
Am doing a night shift tonight, chat soon...

Yeah I think we have chatted before... your nickname rang a bell as soon as I seen it

Hi ladies . How's everyone doing? OB! doesn't seem so slow tonight, yay! 

How did your transfer go ScaredyCat? Will keep everything crossed for a sticky bubba for you .

Hope you had a lovely break in Rotorua appy2, so sorry to hear of your latest mc. All the best for your next FA appt, and for yours tomorrow Hopes.

I went back to my GP today for my day21 blood test ...I swear she had never heard of it as she gave me a confused look (like I was nuts because my day2 results were in the normal range) and said "So do you want a repeat of your blood test done?" Hopefully they test for the right things!   Also had my smear test as was due for it in Oct anyway, and they can test for other probs at the same time. My GP referred me to a OBGYN specialist at the hospital and I got a letter the other day saying I'm on the waiting list and have been classified as "semi-urgent" (ie should  be seen by the specialist 3 months) so I'm stoked about that. Can't do much else at this stage I guess ... feeling a bit useless lol.

Hi everyone

Just to introduce myself, I'm 27 and DH is 31. I went off the BCP in December with the plan to start TTC in March, but was a a little concerned when AF just never arrived. Anyway many doctors visits and blood tests later my doctor told me I wasn't ovulating, so she sent me off for an ultrasound, which confirmed PCOS.

I've got my first appointment at FA (in Auckland) on the 2nd of July, I'm actually really looking forward to it, just to have some sort of 'action'.

Hopes, how did you get on with your FA appointment?

I think this thread is a really good idea!

Hiya, I used to be quite a regular, mainly hanging out in the charting and other TTC threads - so I know some but others are new names to me! I guess lately I've been MIA because I just got fed up with the same old, same old and not progressing much on this journey.

Anyhooo - I'm 32 and DH is a few days off 39 and we've been trying for our first bubba for 2.5 years. In that time I've tried a bit of everything - charting, temping, checking CM, accupuncture... but so far nothing to show for it but one early m/c about 18mths ago.

Thankfully I have a pretty on-to-it GP who said she'd start the basic tests after 10mths of trying - my bloods all came back fine as did DHs SA. She then sent me for some scans which showed a chunky cyst on my right ovary (or was it the left? hmmm ).

Because of this cyst endo was suspected so I got referred to FA here in Wellington - my specialist AM scanned me again and backed up the original suspicions of endo so I was booked in for a lap and dye - the wait was 6 months so we took a bit of a break during this time to just enjoy our relationship again.

I had surgery early December last year which removed the endometiroma (aka chocolate cyst) and unstuck a few bits and pieces tidying up the lesions caused by the endo in various areas of my pelvis. I was diagnosed with grade 3 endo and told that they'd give me another six months of trying naturally and then we'd move onto to the next stage - IVF.

Well, that six months is up with nadda happening (well my AF is less painful so I am thankful for that!) and my appoinment back at FA is this coming Thursday where I'm expecting to be put on the waiting list for IVF - expect, hope... you know... I need to take another step forward so if they don't whack me on the waiting list I'm gonna scream, hehe!

Whoops, sorry wee bit of a novel but I'm all introduced now and I look forward to sharing everyone's journeys to BFPs and the little people beyond.

Thanks appy2, and wow that must be so confusing all right re your positive HPT's, def good idea to get checked out, dare I say it, but maybe you didn't miscarry, or perhaps you miscarried a twin?

Fingers crossed for you it all gets sorted out one way or another.

Hi everyone, I was a regular in the TTC threads, came off the BCP in July 08, and have been trying since Nov 08.Then in march my AF didn't arrive and hasn't for 3 months. So went to my GP and he took bloods and sent me for a scan, and Yes I have PCOS. Never knew cause I have been on the BCP for 10 years or so. Now we have been referred to the FA in wellington and got a letter today saying my appointment for aug11. Thats so Far away! But good news last week got my AF, wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be but its a good sign.

Anyway, im trying to lose weight as well, but its quite hard, I have read about metformin and its supposed to help regulate your ovulation and also helps you to lose weight. Have abny of you tried this, cause it can be also prescribed by your GP.

Thats long enough for now, oh yeah, Im 32 and my DH is 38. FXs we get some results soon!

Hi ladies, thought I would introduce myself.

Im Ginni, 37 and DFis 35. We have been charting for 6 months so I started in the waiting TTC group, then in May graduated to TTC. We had blood tests done last week on me as my charts are all over the place (more on that later), but last night we found out DF has zero sperm in his sample checked last week.

We saw the Dr today and will do a second sample now but its looking like IVF maybe our route...

Look forward to getting to know you ladies :)
