[Lisa40]

Lisa, you always make me laugh!!

Thanks hun, I think this TTC thing is stressful enough, so I always try & inject a little humour where possible

xx

Ha lisa I just had the QUICKEST shower that I ever had...

Has anyone seen the ad for boots webmd site with the girl who's like 'what's wrong with me?' (looks at computer) 'I could be in a coma!' - I have to say that I have just done that - just convinced myself I have endo - I don't think that I have ANY reason to believe it other than I had time to read about ttc and ended up looking at that!

 

[Lisa40]

hahaha yeah I'm like that I couldn't sleep last night & I have really light periods, (TMI alert, but a bit of tissue is enough & they only go on for about 2 days) so I started looking it up & I now have all manner of diseases

I'm back...sorry to keep you all in suspense!!

Well, no Provera and no Clomid.....but I have been referred to a fertility specialist!! Apparently the GPs in our area's NHS trust don't deal with anything like this, so it has to go through the Fertility Dept at the hospital.

I'm waiting for an appointment (should be about 3 weeks he said) and OH has got to do an SA and drop it off at the lab tomorrow.

So, nothing has exactly happened, but at the same time it has!

Feel heaps better. OH is grumbling, of course, but he's gonna do it.

You can all get on with your day now!! xx

 

[3boys]

thats great news hun! you've become a bit of a bnb celeb! lol! glad your on your way to get things sorted! x x

 

[firstbaby25]

ahahah glad i'm not the only one... Just cause I am still al ittle paranoid about it. A few random twinges a month is ok right? I would know if I had endo right? It's just I do 'twinge' in the general uterus area without being pregnant and so this is what lead me to research! Plus Katie is at the docs I was thinking - should I go tell them that I am TTC? As they don't yet know and I have already done three months!

 

[firstbaby25]

Katie! That's excellent news, probably the best you could have hoped for... How has Malc got to do the SA when all you wanted was your period - I wish I was under your PCT then! So annoying that they are different don't you think?

Anyway - really pleased for you and I hope it goes well - did your doc say what they were likely to do?

 

[struth]

Katie - glad to hear that things are moving on and that you are getting to see a specialist! Probably better than seeing the GP anyway - they will know a lot more and be more up with things.

Lets hope the NHS hurries up and gets an appointment quickly for you! While you are waiting though - let's hope you O, BD and have a BFP!!!!

 

[Lisa40]

yeay Katie - thats amazing, you'll be getting your before you know it

and firstbaby I wouldn't worry too much about a few twinges, apparently endo is really painful & some people can't even get out of bed, but it couldn't hurt to mention to your doc that you are ttc. I would maybe go along the lines of, you just want to get some advice on healthy eating or vits etc & that way thewy have a record in case it does take a little longer than you hope.

GL to all

I did ask if all this was necessary when all I wanted was something to bring on AF....but they don't prescribe it here seemingly. He said if I needed something like Clomid or progesterone then the FS would sort that out for me.

I popped in to see Mal at work to let him know and he was like The funniest thing is, he's got to do it at about 8am tomorrow then I have to take it straight to the lab before work....talk about pressure

 

[hope4bump]

lol, poor man! glad things are moving in a direction Katie. xx

 

[Rachael1981]

Glad things are moving for you! Hopefully the FS will be able to help you!

Poor Mal, talk about pressure bless him

I can really go and do my hoovering now, I decided to brush the dog instead, figured it would be best done BEFORE I hoovered rather than after

 

[katiekittykat]

Thanks everyone - gotta shoot off and do another valuation now, but I'll be back tonight.

I feel so much better - so glad you all persuaded me to go to the doctors

 

[firstbaby25]

I mean - it's top notch for you! Just stinks that other PCT's won't do a thing until that magical 12 month mark... I think obvioulsy the sooner this happens for you the sooner you can put your mind at ease with your age and stuff and less stress etc etc...



Lisa - thanks! I am going to go soon to tell them I am ttc! I have recently come off depression meds so I wanted to tell them then that I was coming off them because I was ttc, but I didn't - so here I am... If I wait til next cycle when I am ovulating - it will fit with their records of me coming off anti - d's (I came off them months ago but the docs didn't know I HATE MY DOCTORS...) So I will go in like 3 weeks and say I am TTC...

 

[Lisa40]

Awww can you change doctors if you hate them? Where abouts in the world are you?

xx

 

[Clobo]

Katie I bet you are so relieved to have been to the docs and its brilliant they are referring you straight away, i was referred before we'd been trying a year too so our PCT is good too.

I had to wait a little while for a FS appointment but once you are in its easier to get more appointments and things moved really quickly for me!! They will have you sorted out in no time.

They will want to do your husbands SA just to rule out any male factor before they start giving you drugs and things. Im sure everything will be fine and you are well on your way to your .

PS. Id wait two weeks and if you havent had an appointment ring up and chase them, mine took 6 weeks before i even had my letter!! ARG!!!

I'm in Warrington... Me and Katie discovered this this week! Her family are here... I am gonna move I think they never do anything right by me and I had to secretly come off depression meds because my male doctor said that he didn't allow people to come off them in the winter - WTF?

I was thinking of moving to my OH's doctors, where it would be beneficial one day for us to have our records in one place and it's close to the hospital but i think my OH's parents are with the same doctors and don't really rate them...

I want a docs that will refer me when I deem it fit I think it's hard when I know I am gonna do their mandatory 12 months and see what happens but like someone has said earlier on if something is broke - fix it! Not that I think I am broke I just want reassuring that I am working ok

 

[firstbaby25]

When did they say the results would be back on his SA? I wonder if you will have had by then?
