So been trying TTC really hard for nearly 2 years now without any luck :0( Done load of blood tests now having a HSG (really scared) but i can take anything now and due my first IUI next cycle -
Hey ya,
no word from my doc other than a bill from the hospital for the HSG - you'd think i'd get discount because it wasn't finished ha ha
Its really frustrating to be honest but i don't have much choice about my docs as it is i have to travel 2 hours because they have a very high sucess rate. On the one hand i really don't want them to contact me about an appointment because i'd just love to start in to the perrgonal straight away, Nevertheless i will soldier on!
Great news about the side effects of Clomid hopefully thats going to be as bad as it gets.
AF due for me on the 22nd i'm hopeful as ever that some kind of miricle may happen but i'm mad at myself because i didn't track anything this month so i'm not even sure if timing was right but at least it was a kind of stress free month i'm sure that DH appreciated it ha ha.....
My SIL is due 3rd on 20th so thats exciting as well as a little heart renching when i see how gorgeous the other 2 are she keeps telling me i better hurry up and catch up with her before its too late.... if only she knew....

Hey you, I know what you mean about the hospital bill for the HSG, my insurance didn't cover mine either. And I feel your pain and frustration with doctors. I've had a few issues with mine as well. Wow 2 hours thats a far drive, but if they have a very high success rate, then its all worth it :o)
I hope AF doesn't come for you, that would be excellent! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.
I go back to the doctor the 13th for an ultrasound to see how my follicles are looking, and if everything looks good then they'll give me the HCG shot. I'm excited and nervous. Number one I am petrified of needles, and number 2, I just want everything to go smoothly and there be no more downfalls, you know what I mean. You get so far ahead sometimes, only to fall 10 feet backwards.
Wow SIL with number 3, that's exciting. My sister has been trying for her 2nd one. She keeps tell me the same thing, I need to hurry it up so my nephew has someone to play with. He'll be 3 in September. I just tell her I'm working on it....so I am in your shoes all the way.
Take care hun, talk to you soon.

Well bad news and good news ....
Bad news is that AF came along and i'm in agony now! Good news is that it was bang on time (sorry i see i put 22 earlier typo should be 12)
Good news i rang my doc again (cause she was nice enough to come back to me on her own! lol ) and i'm booked in for my 10 day scan and i start with the dreded injections tomorrow (ouch.. ha ha i'm sure it wont hurt that much)so i'm delighted that i can go ahead this month aparently hsg wasn't a complete wipe out she said that i had been approved for IUI this cycle.
Bad news... phoned my insurance company today and they will not cover any fertility treatments . . . . none apart from the accupunture that i had, they'll pay for 12 visits i'm so angry with them we have to pay for everything so not only do we have to deal with all this but now we have to worry about making sure that we have enough money to do this for as long as we need. My DH is being fantastic he said that no matter what we'll find the money to do this and i do believe him i no he'll do anything its just another thing to keep me awake at nite. Does this get any easier??
On the plus side i'm excited about starting the injections as well as being nervous too (trying not to think about the nuns wee! ha ha) or the side effects, hope i dont turn in to some emotional mess or raving lunatic ha ha
I'm hoping and praying for some serious baby dust and sticky glue and a little bit of a miricle this month...

Awww hun I'm sorry to hear about AF paying a visit, but I am excited for you with the good news. So what exactly is the 10 day scan for, what are they wanting to see?
That really sucks with the insurance. I know my insurance didn't cover alot of the testing I had done. So DH and I had to pay for that all out of pocket. Then starting the meds most not being covered by insurance. It can definitely get pricey, I know that. I'm glad your hubby is being so wonderful, sounds just like mine. They just want to make things easier for us. Which is a wonderful thing :)
I was nervous too when I started the medications, I was worried about the side effects myself. The clomid and estrogen just gave me some bad hot flashes, but I was blessed with not having the mood swings HAHA thank god!
On went in for an ultrasound on monday to check for follicles, and my dr. said my body responded really well to the clomid. They saw 2 good follicles on the left and 3 on the right. I was able to get the trigger shot, so now it just a waiting period. I go back for lab work on the 21st to check my progesteron levels. I am realllllly hoping this is the month for me...
GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING HUN!....Keep me posted.
Sending you TONS of baby dust and sticky glue***

Kristyn thats great news fingers crossed now that this is going to be your month x Are you doing an iui or au natural?
Well just after doing my first shot i was so so nervous cause i'm really really not good with needles but it was ok i've worked my self up all day and it was ok ha ha
I'm using Puregon (on days 4, 6 and 8) which is a follicle stimulating hormone which makes the follicles grow in the ovary. I'm only on 50ius which i think is quite low but doc said that i was showing signs of ovulation on my own so i hope this doesn't cause overstimulation.
On day 10 i have a scan (you know one of those we all love ha ha) to check the growth of the follies and then if all looks good i take another shot i think its the trigger shot called Pregnyl (i do think its the wee ha ha i've been showing my dh and he told me he doesn't think it looks yellow lol!)and dh gets to leave a sample then i should ovulate about 36 hours later. I'm not sure yet when i have the iui but i presume it prob day after or something they should fill me in on tue at the clinic.
So this is the start of a new journey... fingers crossed its going to be smooth running for here on in ha ha...... x x whats the chances??
Loads of baby dust x x x i'll be thinking of you x x x

Hey hun, I saw your post last night and didn't get a chance to write back. So I am really hoping august is the month :D And hopefully you won't be too far behind me :D...(BABY DUST) No I am not doing IUI this round is natural..haha
I know what you mean about needles. I am terrified of needles...really bad. I get major panic attacks when I know I have to get a shot or blood drawn. Then once I get there I have horrible anxiety...ITS BAD..haha DH laughs at me for it :) I worked myself up for the HCG injection and it was nothing. I didn't even feel the needle. See my issue is that I am not ovulating on my own, so the dr said lets try clomid and see if that stimulates the ovaries and matures the follicles. And it worked this first round. I was glad I was able to get the HCG injection. I am really trying not to get my hopes up too high, because I don't want to have a huge let down if AF comes, you know what I mean.
So when is your day 10??? I'll be praying for you that you have good follies :)
You sound soo much like me, trying to stay positive no matter what. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you hun. I know you are starting a new chapter in your journey, and I have faith this will be your miracle journey :)
Talk to you soon sweetie!
Sending you tons of baby dust.....:)

Hey Kristyn
sorry i'm only getting back to you know i've had my friend and her children staying with me the last couple of days, her dh just droped down dead last week, sudden death syndrom, she's in bits i feel so bad for her all we can do is try and be there for her. He was only 31 no one can seem to get their heads round the whole thing. I guess its times like this that i realise just how lucky i am .....
Im going for my 10 day scan on tuesday.... the funeral and everytihng has taken my mind off things so far me and dh have been thinking how lucky we are to have each other but how sad it would be if anything ever happened to one of us and there wasn't a little bit of us left in this world but then feel so ungrateful for even thinking it when we see what she's going through. I guess if it teaches us anything its that we have to enjoy everyday of our lives even if it seems so hard x

Any word yet from your doctors? Are they going to let you begin the pergonal. I remember you saying you wanted to get started on that this month, but weren't sure if your doctors will let you or not?
Keep me posted hun, talk to you soon! I hope everything is going well with you.
