just thought I'd say hi!

hello you!
sorry that the IUI didn't work but fingers crossed for the clomid.
If that doesn't work are you going to try IVF?
would that get round the PCOS?

sparkle83 · Dec 6th, 2009, 14:35 PM

clomid isnt likely to work tbh. the iui we cancelled due to lack of response, which they said was weight related (I started the cycle at 12 st 7, and by the time I had the scans I'd gained 1 and a half stone, making my BMI more than 33). I was on 75iu of stims, which tbh isnt very high, but they wouldnt give me more when they saw how much my weight had gone up. IVF is similar meds, and we know from my hsg + m/cs that my tubes are fine, and dh has a count of 460million, so it wouldnt be financially worth while. The issue we have is getting me to ovulate, and getting eggs that havent been damaged by the over-exposure to high LH.

Weirdly, I usually get loads of pos opks each cycle (my cd3 result was 14 last time it was checked!), but this cycle its all very stable, the lines are light and dont change much. Not very promising for O, but a possible sign that the pcos isnt as bad!

I've also lost another 3lbs this week, BMI now 33.3, gotta get it below 30 to have the ovarian drilling.

hi gals..how are we all?
cazd good luck again for 2morow! FX for ya xx
im still getting these cramps/twinges on alternating sides...very strange! i dont know even my dpo iam so not even sure when to test! i know the "sensible" thing to do would be to wait till /if AF is late but i wana use me new clearblue digi's lol! xx oh told DH last night id got them..i was so excited lol...he was actually ok with it and said they would come in handy as at least there would be no mix ups like the line test have sometimes! oh i loves him!!!!!! xx

Blimey Sparkle - sounds like you've really been through the ringer

my CD3 LH was 4.4 - 14 is EPIC!!!

So what're they doing for you - is it just lose weight and then we'll look at it?

Well Good luck for losing that - I'm 5ft 2 and I was 12st7 when I was at school.
Thankfully it came off slowly after I left home over about 3 years.
But can you imagine waiting another 3 years!!! I really hope you can lose it quick - and safely and all that - but more importantly - Quickly!

Wanabe - I'm testing (too early) tomorrow and it'll defo be a

but do you fancy joining me with a

on Thursday morning (10th)?
you'd only be testing 4 days early - and CB are supposed to be sensitive enough for 4 days early aren't they??
I've only got the superdrug sticks so they're not as snazzy - but I do love tearing them apart - just to be sure

wanabe22 · Dec 8th, 2009, 05:39 AM

hiya cazd ! oowwwhhhhh...oh go on then!...y not ah! cazd im not gona ginx it but i do feel different so FX!! so thurs..when early morning?? then we can get on here and give eachother the gud news ah!

obe · Dec 8th, 2009, 16:18 PM

Hi ladies, how are we all? Ohhhh - wanabe and cazd, good luck with the tests hope you both get BFP!!!!!!!!! FX for you both!
Hi Sparkle - well done, 3lbs! How much more do you need to go to get below 30 BM? Can I ask what ovarian drilling is?
I hope everyone is getting on ok anyway. Im close to my ov date, ive not bought any ov tests this month, im going to try and watch out for the signs my body gives me.

Well a little update here, I have my appointment for Jan 12th to plan the IVF, but have no money as of yet, so need to save and should have enough by my payday on January 15th 2010... sooooo this has me so stressed no money, but appointments lined up as the economy here is iffy and patient load goes up and down therefore my overtime (which I need in order to have enough $ by aforementioned date) goes up and down or is either nonexistent...I had a good cry last night....it just sucks...I hope we have enough money by my appointment...sigh...how is everyone paying for their IVF?

cazd · Dec 9th, 2009, 04:48 AM

YAY for IVF appointment but definitely not YAY for the financial state of everything.
Really hope you can save enough to pay for it

obe - good luck for the body awareness. I'm not gonna buy any more OPKS 'cos CM and temps tell all!

Wananbe - testing tomorrow then?

I'll be testing first thing in the morning and if theres even the slightest whiff of a

I'll be straight online to tell you!!!

obe · Dec 9th, 2009, 06:21 AM

Hi all,
Grneyednurse - I hope you manage to save enough before your appointment! It is shit having to worry about money at a time like this. We have had to take loan out to pay for ours. We wont be able to take another out if our first attempt doesnt work. Im constantly worrying about it, but at the same time im trying to stay positive. We are still waiting for our nurse appointment which is ment to be in Jan, I think this is when we sign all the paperwork. I think I might chase them again today.
Caz - my temps today say im ov but I havnt had any signs. Good luck with the testing FX !!
