15DPO - I'm back! And I have good news!

[katiekittykat]

You're probably right struth....but why can't he just communicate this instead of acting like a t****r?!?

The appointment is for me....I just thought he might either have to or even want to come along. The words 'moral support' are not in his vocabulary.

 

[Rachael1981]

I don't think 'Moral Support' is in a lot of men's vocabulary. My ex used to come to all my Doctors appointments so I couldn't tell anyone what was really going on. And he decided every male doctor/physiotherapist/whatever fancied me then wouldn't let me go back.

If you want moral support I'll come with you if you like

Not the same as Mal I know, but the offers there

 

[katiekittykat]

Thanks Rachael - that's really kind of you

I don't really need it (I don't think), but he doesn't know that

 

[Rachael1981]

I'm sure you don't need it for the first appointment. Sometimes I find easier to talk to the doctor about things if I'm on my own than when I'm with someone

 

[Lisa40]

Awwww katie.
Sounds like you are having a bit of a rollercoaster ride at the moment!
Hey at least he did his sample

now you are completely sure that it was his and not some random concoction of cream, cottage cheese, and water??

Katie just to let you know I think you do have to bring your partner with you for the 1st appt. They asked my husband to attend with me.. and they went right through both mine and hubby's health history... They said if partner wasn't able to come with me I'd have to reschedule the appt.

So seeing as your've got things moving now it might be worth contacting them and asking if your partner has to be present at your 1st appt. I'd hate for there to be further delay... Later appts after that you can go alone.. I just think it's the initial 1st appt. They build up your case notes etc.

I have been through this twice now.. and on both occasions Hubby had to be present
Good Luck hun

Was this with just your GP, or when you saw the fertility specialist? I haven't been referred yet...I think the GP will do that once OH's results are back. All I want is AF!! It's not as if we've been trying and trying and it's not working...I feel a bit of a fraud going to see a specialist already

 

[Rachael1981]

I think it's the day for Mackem's to go off at the deep end for no real reason Katie

[Rachael1981]

He's just being a prat about the MetroCentre meet. I'm off to bed shortly too, I'll send you a PM about it in the morning when we've finished 'talking' xxx

Hi Katie

It was when I had my 1st appt with FS

No way are you a fraud wanting to go see a specialist, best get the ball rolling, you never know how long these things take.. in my case months. And especially to get your cycles regulated soon.. I can't imagine what it's like having such a long cycle... I whinge if my 26 day cycle ends up being a 31 day cycle lol.
Hope you get things sorted soon & best of luck

 

[hope4bump]

Ahhh Katie - I am so pleased he did it! Hopefully thing will move forward more easily now. Thinking of you xx

 

[katiekittykat]

We've agreed that he will call up for his results, and then if necessary he'll come with me to the doctors appointment.

He is utterly convinced that there is nothing wrong with him though.....and to be fair we know the (immediate) problem is with me!

 

[Sideways 8]

Hi Katie! Good to see that Mal is coming around

I really hope your cycle gets sorted out soon!!

 

[katiekittykat]

I've had a little temp rise this morning.....tis the 2nd morning that my temp has risen (albeit in very small increments )

Oh well, the assessment day at the airport seemed to go well, so FX for that. I'll know by the end of the week. Tried on my uniform and everything

 

[Lisa40]

Wooooohoooo for both the temp rise and assessment day, didn't you the night before last too??

xxx

 

[katiekittykat]

We did Although technically it was Monday morning, so that's even better!

I'm not getting my hopes up though....we've been here before

 

[Lisa40]

True, always good to keep things in perspective, but you never know, stranger things have happened
