Absolutely fed up

[Mikkie]

Hi lovelies,I went in for a scan yesterday, so angry and disappointed. I finished letrozle on Sunday and went in yesterday to check everything. He said lining is thin and only 2 small eggs there,so letrozle did not work otherwise they would be growing now.I said is it because I'm only on cd8? He said not really as they should be growing now. It's really wierd as in June I had gone for a follicles scan at a normal scan pregnancy clinic and she said you have 9 follicles and this was on cd12. When I told him that he said it must've been shadows. Wth.

Oh I'm so confused and angry that my body is failing.He said donor eggs would be your best option which I can't get my head around it.

Oh he said you need to have natural periods to get natural pregnancy? I'm on hrt. Anyone here on hrt and trying to concieve?

Please ladies any support or advice much appreciated.

HI Mikkie. So sorry to hear this. Perhaps you need to try IVF in order to get those follicles working. You can get pregnant on HRT, but it is isually used to thicken the lining when using donor eggs. I'm sure there is a different treatment out there for you to try. Good luck! Diane

Hi,many thanks for replying. I asked about iui or ivf he said you have not got any eggs so you will be wasting your money

Honestly, it doesn't sound like your doctor is really trying? Have you been offered gonadotropins (Gonal-F etc.) to take?

Hi no nothing at all. Just saying you got no eggs,we got nothing to work with and do donor eggs

Hi, sorry to hear this, scans can be so upsetting and you never really know what they will see. I presume you've had AMH and FSH hormone tests as an additional ovarian reserve check? As I understand it follicles can vary from month to month but the three tests together give a good indication as to the eggs remaining to work with. Having said that I am not sure I believe a previous sonographer just happened to measure 9 "shadows". I'd like to think they are experienced enough to know a follicle from a shadow. Can you revisit that same clinic and ask for a repeat test?

Many thanks to you lovely ladies, honestly you put me at ease x.

The scan was done on cd8, so do you think it was too early for the follicles to show?

He said its up to me to continue taking hrt etc. But give yourself target time then move on to donor eggs as time is ticking.

I previously was on Utrogestan tablets and oestrogen gel which I used to get monthly bleeds and I feel with this my lining was better like last scan was 6.1mm ,yesterday he goes it's about 4mm so it's quite thin but this cycle will went on for about 6 days, I think possibly because I took letrozle.

He didn't give me anymore letrozle but I do have Fertab- clomiphene do you think I should take this? And maybe go for regular scans? And do ovulation testing? I actually wanted to freeze my eggs if they are increasing but from this Drs view that's impossible.

I have read somewhere that letrozle is better for over 40's, Any advice which is better to take? Letrozle or clomid?

Another quick question if your taking hrt and have concieved would you still get your period or not?

I keep thinking about prp? But then there's no much positive stories out there.

Thanks once again sweeties, really appreciate it xx
