TTC # 2 after fertility issues with # 1

Hi everyone :) I concieved my gorgeous girl (22months old) with the help of clomid, we TTC'd for 6 months this year for number 2, including 3 clomid rounds with no luck, so are just having a wee break for a while, until maybe may next year and we'll hopefully get pregnant using the last of my clomid from this time (i have 2 rounds left) I was talking to my GP the other day when i was at the docs for something else, as i have just moved to auckland, and mentioned we were wanting to be TTC next year and what is the story with who you see for fertility treatment etc in auckland ( in the town i lived in you just went directly to the OBGYN at the hospital as she was the only one in the town and shed sort things from there..) and my GP sais something about it being my 2nd child, so if we already have had one successful pregnancy, regardless of the fact we needed fert. drugs to concieve, we might not be elligable for public funding? does this sound right to you? if it is ill just pay to go private through my old OBGYN in the south island.. but it sounds pretty off to me! so any advice would be great, and good luck everyone! x

ahh thanks ArielAngel :) that sounds more correct to me. i figured that since i dont ov on my own, and needed clomid and metformin to even ov let alone conceive then surely im elligable for something? id hate to have to wait 5 years to even start getting help! i understand the list is long, and theres so many people aching to have a child and im no more special than any of them lol, but still. oh well i still have 2 clomid rounds sitting here at home,and am busting my bum to lost the last 5 or so kgs i want to lose so there are no excuses they can use on me when the time comes! thanks for the info, and ill join you back here shortly! x x for now ill lurk and celebrate your BFPs with you :D xx

So, my first day 21 progesterone blood test on clomid was yesterday and just got the result - 23. The nurse said that this meant I'd ovulated, but that it is low and they would be hoping for 30-40 given I was taking clomid. She will take the results to the Dr but she said she thought he'd probably recommend that we doubled my dose (I'm currently on one tablet - 100mg I think?). I should hear back from them before Friday to see what they'd like to do, and to arrange a new script if necessary.

I'm disappointed the results aren't better, but at least I ovulated, and around the right time, which gives us a better shot this month than we have in any other given month.

If I don't get a BFP this month, I actually think my DH will be pretty stoked that we get to try again next month

BFN   

OMG, that is amazing news Ceres - yay! I'm sorry that about all the stresses that have happened but I have my fingers crossed that your HCG continues to rise. Make sure you update here after the scan


I think that at the most we'll do three cycles at the higher dose without further monitoring (my prescription has two repeats left). When we saw the FA Dr he said he would see us again in the new year if things weren't progressing.


So with all the graduates I guess that means I'm alone in here for now, hopefully that means it will be mine turn soon.

I think u do lose some points if you have no 1 already but it's not many like 5 when you get 40 for being under 35. We had enough points after two years of trying, no prob with no 1 and mild endo other than that we are unexplained

Sorry Ariel I'm 11 wks preg YAY, after no troubles with no one, 11 iuis and 4 ivfs later we finally got success. Wishing u all best hope 2ww isn't dragging
