I’ve been quiet for a while because I haven’t really had much to share with you all but just about to embark on our final ever attempt at fertility treatment so hoping that some positive energy from you lovely ladies will go a long way to bring us our miracle.
The frosty is from our rather disappointing donor round which only resulted in two blasts & a BFN after transferring one of these.
After picking myself up from the pit of despair & self-pity I started researching random things, especially whether there was a chance my body could be rejecting/destroying embryos and how/why it might do that. Also, as the NHS refuse to check my tubes I researched if there was a way to unblock them naturally. I came across the serrapeptase & Wobenzym N combination which is supposed to help remove scar tissue & reduce inflammation. I’ve been using these since December & the main difference I’ve noticed is that I no longer have pain during sex, this is something I’ve been having for years & just accepted as normal! Apparently that is not normal!
When I first started taking the pills I got lots of aches around my uterus/tubes/ovaries area & sometimes a strange sort of scratchy feeling. I’ve read that can be a sign that they are working.
Unfortunately we didn’t achieve a natural pregnancy over the last few months but hoping that i’m going to be in a better condition for our final transfer in April.
I’ve read that inflammation in the body can be the cause of a higher level of NK cells & therefore maybe reducing it might be the thing that finally helps me achieve my dream. I’ve been researching an anti-inflammatory diet for the next month & due to have transfer I’m 10th April.
So, been taking Microgynon (contraceptive pill) for the last three weeks getting ready for the FET - have had spotting & seriously tender boobs every day since my period ended! Due to finish taking those on Friday.
Booked in for my endo scratch tomorrow morning & my decapeptyl injection tomorrow afternoon followed by the estrogen patches from the 15th.
Keeping everything crossed as this is literally our last ever attempt. Feel like we’ve been to hell & back & it’s taken over our lives both emotionally & financially.
Read lots of positive stories recently & hoping that this time I can share a positive outcome with you guys.
Wishing you all lots of luck too wherever you are in your journey xxxx
Ps. Sorry for the essay!! 😂
