JUNE/JULY CYCLE

I actually feel like I can move on to the next cycle....I tortured myself about what my body did wrong or what went wrong, was a pregnant and lost it before even getting off the ground....It was even harder when I got there this AM and sat in the waiting room....As I saw 6 couples with their little t-shirts (my clinic gives them out with first ultrasound pics) which meant everybody I looked at was pregnant....But after talking with him and asking him questions about immunology and other various things I read I felt so much better!! First it was great to have an answer as to why it failed, this REALLY helps....Secondly I learned that my DH sperm count went up up up (motility is still low though) He went from last time only having 3million to having 22 million this time!!!!! That is HUGE for us!!! (still doesn't support natural methods but I will take any improvement!!!) Plus our numbers together are great and our embies fertilize very nicely!!! I feel fabulous now!! I we will enjoy each other for May and start the countdown to June!!!!

Thanks Mia + Little P for the replies regarding fitting IVF to our lives. I am quite okay about it as this is really the least the of our problems! Although it can add to stress levels I quite welcome it as means we are getting a step nearer!

I am quite amazed by the details many of you know about your cycles and meds. My clinic doesn't share such details and if they anaylse things so much, they don't share it with me! They seem to follow a set protocol for all - I think? I trust them implicitly though - the embryologists are just lovely and answer all my questions. I think they work on the basis that ignorance is bliss !! It works for me! Perhaps this a UK/US/Canada difference?

Good to see so much PMA around Juju babes!

Thanks Lumi!!

One of the things I know about me as a person is I need to know and understand everything about what I am going to go through. I know very well how my body works and when it is adverse to change...Upon finding out that we needed help to conceive a child, I began researching and learning about the process, stages, risks, statistics, and differences between states in the US.... This is how I know the cycle of things so well....When they told me what drugs we were going to use, I printed out the chemical pharmacology for each so I knew what it did to me, my ocytes, etc and what the side effects were......I wanted to completely understand everything so when they would call me with my instructions I would ask questions....What was my progesterone levels, how do my levels look, what is my estrodial at....Asking questions is key and it helps me to understand more than less!!!

Jamato - welcome to JuJu!!!

Lumi - my clinic is the same with results - they prefer just to give you your protocol and send you out the door. BUT you have a right to know what is going on - if you choose to. I always go in with a list of questions and the doc is more then willing to answer...he just doesn't unless you ask. Some woman prefer not to know...but I am like Jamato...I need to know everything...and with IVF, I can talk hormone levels with any doc

Off for a cup of tea and to relax after a very stressful day (I had no patience today...mmmm...feels like PMS

)

PMS definitely coming on strong today..although a bit early in my cycle

I used to love these days at work because there was no holding me back

...but I am off to the DIY store to get some plants for outside and to yoga this afternoon....hopefully this will help with the cramping and very bad mood.

How did the acunpuncture appointments go??? Mine is tomorrow

Hi JuJu Girls, Hope everyone is ok, I havent had time to catch up recenetly.

I had my first accupcture yesterday, its not nearly as relaxing as reflexology. Apparently im stressed, I don't think it helped that I had a run in with my manager about needing time off for IVF

Hopefully the accupuncture will ease the stress.

I will definately carry on with the accupcture, I feel that everything is worth a go if it might help me conceive

Im going for my first IVF consultation at my clinic today.

Just wanted to wish you loads of luck at the consultation - I hope you hear all the answers you want.

Let us know how you get on won't you.

PMA and hugs

Hope your next acupuncture is more relaxing - where I go they turn the lights off and put nice music on, it is easy to let your mind wander but I make myself think +ve thoughts about what good it is doing to my body and how it will help me with tmt next time!!!

Little P - have seen notes around the board that you start sniffing on monday - hope it goes ok

Traci - hope PMS improves

Anyone I have missed - hope your tmts or preparation for tmts goes ok, I will not be on the boards for a week

as I am going on holiday (unless I can find an internet cafe in Gran Canaria

) so hope everyone has a fab week and am looking forward to catching up when I get back!

Thanks for that.

Have a fantastic holiday - apparently the weather is absolutely gorgeous there at the moment, good for relaxation.

Bet you can't wait to get there.

Enjoy yourselves and get plenty of rest.

Mil's raised a good question - what are we going to call the girls going through treatment in July?

We have JuJu Babies for June so if anyone has any suggestions for July let us know.
