Hi Ladies,
Sorry for the lack of messages over the last week or so. I got struck down with gastroenteritis last Friday and a weekend of hell followed! Cue then a busy week at work (not helped by all the snow) and today is the first time I'm getting a chance to catch up - this is such a busy thread to follow too!
Annakay: I'm so sorry to hear you feel ridiculous. You've had such bad luck, I wish I could give you an answer how to improve things...sending hugs
MA66: I know it was a while ago you were asking about selenium now but I am just going to eat a handful of brazil nuts each day I think, would be interested to hear what you decided to do though.
Katkat2014: Sorry I can't help with your DHEA question, I was advised not to take it by my doctor. Glad AF appeared finally although sucks regards EC. I feel your stress regards the not knowing until the last minute, as a control freak the lack of predictability of this process really gets to me!
Babyhopeful: Glad your AMH results weren't too bad - what were they if you don't mind me asking? I would be really interested to see what they said in your planning session as I too am a poor responder with what the doctor called low AMH but apparently isn't that low compared to lots (10.6).
Klik: Sorry you had to repeat yourself with your doctor, communications are not always great are they?! Good luck with your cycle, I too am feeling scarily optimistic this time round, I think it's because I'm doing a lot more in way of supplements etc. to help so can't help but feel something has to make a difference!
Mac78: How you doing?
Shadywheat: Still on downreg until 12th at least when I get first scan and decision on move to stims. Hope AF arrives soon and FX for a nice thick lining too! As for your job I would say take it, as you know you cannot predict what will happen with your cycle and there is never a good time to do these things, you cannot put your life on hold for it and, it sounds like it will make you a lot happier which can only be a good thing! If your boss has been as supportive as you say he will totally understand.
Susie76: That is really interesting about the sperm although I never believe a word written in the DM
feel sorry for your partner though! Do they not have locks on the doors?! Great news about your scan, it's good to have some hope on this thread!
Bluedolphin: Sorry to hear about your bereavement, hope you're managing to get back into it, any idea when you might start again?
Helenbeau: Good work on booking a holiday! Sometimes a bit of relaxation is better than any medicine!
Queenie123: How you doing?
Tily: Interesting article, unfortunately, as we need PGD, I can't try naturally
Lulu2017: I'm sorry I can't offer any advice as I'm so new to this but good luck and I hope you find something that works for you!
Sunshine122: FX AF appears for you soon! Hope you don't have a cyst.
Cramer: Wow you're so busy, I don't know how you have time/headspace for cycling with all that on your plate! Good luck!
AFM: I started downreg (Buserelin) last Sunday so almost a week in now. So far injections have been a little easier than last time although they didn't give me enough needles so I had to get some from the GP which are twice the size and make me bleed a lot
ah well, could be worse! Roll on 12th March for my first scan. Oh and one quick question...AF is due tomorrow but I don't 'feel' like I usually do the day before, is it possible the Buserelin is suppressing symptoms or am I just overthinking things? Love & hugs to all xx
