That totally stinks to not have had success yet. I definitely don't have good advice in terms of treatment. We lean toward the natural route, so if it were us we would look at acupuncture or chiropractic (of course one that specializes in infertility) and they might find some other kind of unbalances that REs don't look for in blood tests. But, it's unconventional for sure! Good luck. Keep us posted on your apt. with the RE and what is suggested.

I've done CD3, 10, 7dpo blood work multiple times (prior to medicated cycles as well), including TSH levels (all normal) and HSG, baseline U/S a year ago before all the meds that looked fine. DH has just done a SA. mrswin on "IF Check In - 6/5" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-65/page/4#post-1693592 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:44:06 +0000 mrswin 1693592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @PurplePumps: I'm not sure what to suggest although you are getting close to the max recommended cycles of clomid but I am wondering if she has ruled out PCOS. Sorry if you have already mentioned previously but what testing have you and your SO had done at this point??

We have a more in depth appt on Tue to discuss a path forward, but by then I'll be on CD7 and probably too late to take meds if I wanted to this cycle.

I am on my third week of BCP (@lazypanda: I'm off the TTW :wink:) and received all my meds for the FET yesterday. I will start daily lupron injections on Saturday and have my first baseline U/S on June 24th. Can't believe we are going for it! Excited, mostly! @PurplePumps: I'm really sorry about AF arriving and wanted to send you a hug! What does your doc recommend? @Leialou: I'm so, so sorry to hear about the second beta! :heart: @Mrs. Pinata: I hope your husband is feeling better really soon!! @Sunshine1810: Wishing you much luck :goodluck: for Friday! @FliegepilzHut: Wishing you much luck :goodluck: with starting your lupron today! Hugs for everyone out there!! :happy: :heart: PurplePumps on "IF Check In - 6/5" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-65/page/4#post-1693172 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:53:27 +0000 PurplePumps 1693172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was just going over my history again to send to DH to see what he though. So not including the first 7 months where I had 2 90 day cycles.... 3 natural cycles (O CD 22, 29, 25) 1 Clomid @ 50mg, good response (O CD 18) 1 Clomid @ 50mg, bad/no response (O CD 35), 1 natural (O CD28) 2 Clomid @ 100 (monitored) O CD 19, 17 1 natural (O CD 18, but he was out of town) 1 Letrozole @5mg.. .that was this weird cycle, which I think I didn't respond well to My LP has always been 14-15 days, this time it was only 12 this time. (7dpo progesterone was 15 though, same as Clomid cycles) I was trying to decide if I should do a medicated or natural cycle next. The cycle after next will be natural since we're going on a trip, and after that, I'm ready to move on, which we have an appointment to discuss next Tue. I was thinking of Clomid/IUI once more and unmedicated after that if that doesn't work, or just 2 unmedicated cycles... ahh...! what would you think just seeing that data?

His eyes!? Poor guy! How long before he was feeling better? I wouldn't mind if the steroids HELPED his numbers though. ;-) Shutterbug on "IF Check In - 6/5" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-65/page/3#post-1691141 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 13:26:05 +0000 Shutterbug 1691141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pinata: uggh, your poor DH :( The same thing happened to my DH last year and it was so bad in his eyes that he couldn't open them and I had to drive him to the doctor. He was on steroids too, which had me worried since we were doing IF treatments (and, as you know, sperm is created 3 months ahead of time), but it didn't affect his numbers.

I don't know if it's common or not. He just ended up with that AND some other kind of poison too! Thankfully today seems to be the first day it's finally getting better instead of worse, so hopefully we're turning a corner! mrswin on "IF Check In - 6/5" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-65/page/3#post-1691064 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 13:02:25 +0000 mrswin 1691064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pinata: Ugh sorry about the steroids....Is poison ivy common where you are?

I'm so sorry! I"ll say some prayers for you and your family. What a difficult time. :/ So, Mr. P is on all kinds of steroids, so I've realized that this means his hormones could be all over the place for several months. :/ Oh blah. But, the important thing is that he gets better first!

Supposed to go in for a blood test tomorrow, but not even going to bother. On top of all this, my grandfather fell and hit his head. He's been in the hospital for 2 weeks now with a hemorrhage and unresponsive. Just sort of looks around at us, but we're not even sure if he recognizes us. And my grandmother just keeps asking for a (well, another now, since my two cousins who started after us have both had kids now) great grandchild and was telling me how much my grandfather has been hoping for me to have a kid since we got marred 3 years ago. I'm not a religious person, but I'd pray to anything now that he recovers and will eventually get to see my child. Please send some positive thoughts his way!

Poor DH... :bummed: Stick with your plan-- I bet the summer will pass (perhaps too?) quickly and you'll be moving on with your testing before you know it! :goodluck: Mrs. Pinata on "IF Check In - 6/5" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-65/page/3#post-1690307 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 08:00:18 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 1690307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So, Mr. Pinata has a horrible case of poison ivy! Like, ALL over his arms, back, legs and even some on his face. :( poor guy. :( and of course, I'm about to ovulate in the next couple of days. So I think this.month we'll be skipping this month. And as far as me in the scheme of things and update post, we're pretty much taking a break from treatment for a few months and we'll see how the chiropractor and supplements help. Our summer trips pretty much prevent me from getting my fsh or progesterone tested, which I guess is good since then we'll be able to see if the chiropractor stuff works by testing those things at the end of the summer will give us an idea of where we are before heading to the new dr. I know this is the right thing to do. It's just annoying to always feel like we're waiting! twodoghouse on "IF Check In - 6/5" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-65/page/3#post-1690149 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 01:49:52 +0000 twodoghouse 1690149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Leialou: Oh honey I am so sorry to hear this.
