Kelly I'm in Cumbria too and my friend was given clomid, she had testing done for infertility (had been trying 2 years) after being referred by her gp. I think gps here are just for ruling out basic things, consultants decide who actually needs what treatment depending on your test results.

hey annibobs how are you, the whole doc system here just seems poo even the hospital when I had Daniel at Carlisle I was treated so bad It has one of the top ten worst hospitals lol

I've always been pretty lucky, I've had really good experiences with hospitals and doctors. With dd I was living in Lancaster so had her in Lancaster hospital. They picked up on pre-eclampsia and got her out in time.

Then I'd moved to South Cumbria for my second pregnancy and when I was admitted to furness general hospital with blood loss during my miscarriage they managed to stop the contractions, got me on a drip and gave me pain relief so I could get some sleep before my emergency erpc. The doctors and nurses were all so nice.

Then after my third miscarriage my gp sorted out getting me tested for all the most obvious things (clotting disorders, hormone deficiencies) and even though I got no answers from those tests it was left with me to decide if I wanted referring but i decided just to give it one more shot and try aspirin (on gps advice) which seems to have worked.

I really think if you're not happy with your care you need to change doctors or at least be clear with your gp what steps you want to take next. If they completely refuse (I don't know how already having children will affect nhs funding etc) then maybe it's time to look into going private.

[kelly1973]

wow that's mega expensive she said she could send me to a fertility clinic but they would need a semen test from oh well theres no way at all he will do this so I guess I will have to rely on mother nature to help me along she did offer me a test to see if I ovulate next month so that's good I will take that up and I have my progesterone ready if I do get pregnant

Hi Girls!!! I am home from vacation, we got back last night and was exhausted from the two day drive home. Today was spent unpacking, groceries etc etc. I haven't read through all of the posts but SMILER! WOW! That's so amazing!!! I am praying so hard for you, I hope this is your sticky little bean.

Mrskitty, I know what you mean about being nervous about meds. I was the same way but it was a piece of cake. I actually do think because they shortened my cycle by about 3 days last month, my cycle is longer this time. When do you start them?

I was supposed to Ovulate this past Saturday but didn't have any symptoms until Friday and usually I gear up for a couple of days. Sure enough, got a positive OPK this morning and naturally my husband is working. We had lots of sex on vacation lol which would have been ideal if I actually ovulated on Sat! Oh well, we did Fri/Sat/Sun and maybe try again tomorrow although usually when I get a smiley face I ovulate that day.


Amanda, I am so happy for you!! The scan of your little bean is just beautiful.


How are you doing Kelly? Are you having trouble with your doctor investigating?

Mrs W, how are you??

Ltruns, I noticed you on the IUI thread! I hope you are hanging in there.

welcome back Natalie! Hope y'all relaxed and enjoyed each other, you know And really hoping for a good cycle for you

 

[Nataliek]

Thanks Ltruns, me too! I am hoping this is your month!!!

Mrskitty how are you feeling with the Clomid?

Smiler, how are you doing?

Anniebobs you must be getting on now! How are you?

Kelly you can conceive so your hubby's sperm is likely just fine and you ovulate as well. What cycle day are you on?

 

[Smiler79]

I am doing ok thanks Natalie. I had an interview yesterday and another one today so that is taking mymind off things. EPU have already booked me in for my reassurance scan on 4th august. It is at 8 weeks rather htan 7 as hubby is away in china til the 2nd august. I am hoping that if we get that far all will be ok as have miscarried last two babies before I got to my reassurance scan.

We had planned on keeping news completely to ourselves (apart form you ladies of course) but as hubby is going away to china and japan during my risky two weeks and I will be staying woth his parents for some of that time we have agreed to tellt hem so one they can try and keep me relaxed but also so they are prepared if things do go wrong while I am there xxxxx

I was concerned about exactly the same thing but I only made one eggie. I am sure it will be just fine. Injectables have little to no side effects, I opted for those over the clomid. I am glad you will be going in for your scan soon!

Smiler that is a great idea, you will be able to relax and take it easy. Good luck at your interview!

[kelly1973]

how did the interview go smiler?
mrs kitty sorry you are feeling poo do you have to stop taking it after ov?
Nat what cycle day are you on ? im on cd25 my cycles are 26 days long not feeling lijke af yet but maybe its mixed up due to mc.
I will try get my chart on here ive had some good temp rises lol

[Smiler79]

Think it went well but thought that about previous three interviews. They said I may find out today but probably tomorrow.

I am just exhausted now as not been sleeping properly. Also feel a bit guilty going to interviews knowing I am already pregnant

 

[Anniebobs]

Fingers crossed you hear back soon smiler. I ended up telling early with this pregnancy too, I needed childcare when I had bleeding early on and had to go for a scan. We waited until 14 weeks to tell most people though.

Mrs kitty I hope the side effects pass quickly, I've heard it can get quite rough on clomid. I'm sure you'll have a perfect egg in the making!

Kelly good luck! When will you be testing?

As for me, I'm 20 weeks today and have my anomaly scan tomorrow. I'm nervous but not as bad as the last few scans. I keep reminding myself that my nt scan went well and I can feel baby most days so hopefully all is still going well in there.
