Moving forward with IUI this month/cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584882 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 21:14:07 +0000 babycanuck 1584882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I wasn't sure if they would take the time to review my results and just that. The appointment was 3 months away, which also caused me a lot of anxiety. His SA testing was good and the doctor was not concerned about his results at all.</p> <p>I haven't gone to a counsellor yet. I know that we have some differences but it always ends up with him being the bad guy. He has his reasoning, he just doesn't share. It's not fair to me by any means, but I can't change him. I do, however, need to get over my resentment of the people in his family and mine that have no issues getting pregnant. I have a lot of anger towards his brother, who has only been with his wife for 3 years and they have a baby, when we've been together for 12. That's my own fault, and I need to work on that. It's not the baby's fault. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584877 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 21:10:21 +0000 Kelli_Deluxe 1584877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ttcgirl: No such luck :bummed: My RE decided it would be a good month for testing and HSG instead! All my testing and levels came back normal or "great" and I'm waiting on the HSG report. If all is well, we'll start over with the IUI process in May, doing 3 of them! Good luck with this upcoming cycle!! Fingers crossed! </p> <p>@babycanuck: Hugs to you. I'm so sorry this process is causing a divide. Thinking Of you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584568 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 18:40:52 +0000 BSB 1584568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Aww, I'm so so sorry. Did you call the new clinic and see if they can just look at your results? Why was your DH so angry with getting a second opinion? You can tell the new clinic that your DH refuses do further testing and they can look at your past SA.</p> <p>Does he need to talk to my DH? </p> <p>I get this feeling that maybe he is afraid of getting a diagnosis where he is the cause.</p> <p>As for you, are you going to counseling? It might help you to talk this over with someone. I really want you to get the support you need. Thinking of you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584514 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 18:00:55 +0000 lazypanda 1584514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I'm sorry your DH is not providing you with the support you wish to have. FX that your BFP will happen without the medicated assistance. And if not, FX that your DH will be more open to discussing his feelings with you. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584498 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:56:13 +0000 Raindrop 1584498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Is it possible you have just had bad luck till now? I don't really know your story sorry about that! But even with perfect timing your chances are still 25%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584491 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:54:26 +0000 deactivated_account 1584491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Ugh. I'm so very sorry. Maybe your guy will come around sometime in the future. That's such a hard place to be - when you both are on different pages. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. And seriously... you should keep trying. I know so many people that just required a couple of years and then one day they were pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584481 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:51:39 +0000 babycanuck 1584481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: I have. The first dr I saw said they generally only give those meds to people who don't have normal cycles or not ovulating. I'm pretty much normal 26-28 days so her recommendation was to go right to iui. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584475 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:49:57 +0000 deactivated_account 1584475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I'm so very sorry. What would be your next step? It seems like you could take clomid without your husband's involvement. I'm mean... I'm not one to be tricky. But your husband does want a baby. And clomid is just a little medication. Have you considered trying that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584468 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:45:33 +0000 littlek 1584468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I'm sorry. Big hugs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584457 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:41:45 +0000 Raindrop 1584457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: *Big hugs* No advise like everyone else said... I'm here to listen. It sounds like you are taking some good steps but I agree with others maybe advise from a third party will help your DH come around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584446 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:37:51 +0000 pui 1584446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: If you ever need someone to talk to, please get in contact with me. We don't live far from each other, so maybe we could even meet up some time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584445 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:37:00 +0000 babycanuck 1584445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: me. His SA was fine. My internals, blood work and hsg were all fine. No blockages. No red flags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584443 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:36:15 +0000 babycanuck 1584443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: very tough. Yes. Mr Macho won't do counselling so that's out and why I'm just trying to become a sane person and not the crazy bitch I am when ttc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584441 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:35:28 +0000 deactivated_account 1584441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I've seen you post a little about this before but can you fill me in a bit. Who has the "unexplained" issue? You or him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584440 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:34:52 +0000 pui 1584440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: *hugs* :crying: </p> <p>I don't know what advice to offer... I really hate that your husband has made this so difficult (way more difficult than it has to be). Maybe couples counselling would be a good next step? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584433 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:26:46 +0000 babycanuck 1584433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I had an appt somewhere else and in a rage he told me to cancel it. If he won't go there's no point. I need the support.</p> <p>Eta part of it was getting ready for iui. He felt bullied by me to do it when he doesn't want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584424 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:24:32 +0000 BSB 1584424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Aww, I'm sorry. Sending lots of hugs your way. So would you consider getting a second opinion so you can try to get a diagnosis? If he is hung up on this unexplained, that's what I would do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584418 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:22:40 +0000 babycanuck 1584418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: hubs won't do medical intervention because for him "unexplained" means we are fine so I've succumbed to the fact that it probably won't happen. We won't use protection anymore but I'm no longer actively trying. My mental and emotional health is more important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584416 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:20:39 +0000 deactivated_account 1584416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Oh friend. :crying: What's going on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread/page/2#post-1584386 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:06:50 +0000 babycanuck 1584386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This oven has no electricity so the bakery is closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread#post-1584216 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:37:57 +0000 Shutterbug 1584216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ttcgirl: I only took Letrazole (Femara) once, but I had zero side effects compared to Clomid, and I ovulated a couple days earlier (day 13 instead of 15, I think). The only downside is I just had one mature follicle instead of the usual 2 I had with Clomid. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread#post-1584195 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:28:19 +0000 ttcgirl 1584195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! Its been quiet over here, how is everyone doing?</p> <p>@Kelli_Deluxe: any luck with skipping IUI #3 and going straight to a medicated timed cycle?</p> <p>I just got back from my follow up with the RE. I will be starting Letrazole next cycle with an HCG trigger shot and timed intercourse. Anyone have experience with Letrazole? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread#post-1551168 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:41:32 +0000 Kelli_Deluxe 1551168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ttcgirl: Whoo hoo for a *hopefully* medicated cycle. </p> <p>I'm patiently waiting for AF this coming weekend. Planning in calling my RE and pushing for a medicated timed cycle this month. He wanted to wait until IUI #3 to go on Clomid but after the debacle of missing IUI #2, I'm ready to move forward. Missing the IUI also stressed us out a lot and we both want a break from scheduling craziness </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread#post-1551070 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:23:44 +0000 ttcgirl 1551070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is everyone doing? I just entered cycle 19, and finally made a follow up appt with the RE in a couple of weeks, not sure what the next steps will be. I am assuming something like clomid? Good to know about Femara having a lower chance of multiples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-12-month-plus-thread#post-1538441 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:52:31 +0000 lazypanda 1538441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Allie: I would echo @Kelli_Deluxe: in that IUI just helps the sperm bypass all the obstacles in the vagina. The increase in chances of multiples are increased from medicated cycles which may cause more follicles to mature and be released. Femara has less chance of multiples than clomid. </p> <p>FX for everyone on this thread! </p>
