Wow, lots of action lately! Ladies not taking this infertility crap lying down and making some moves! THAT'S what I like to see!!! 
Regal, glad you went to see a specialist, and I'm glad to hear you left feeling good. My dh had a few SAs too. What's a PK test? Bummer about losing weight.
I suggest Weight Watchers. 
Works really well, and you don't feel deprived. You still get to have those little treats.
mrsmax, total crap about your insurance.
I'm proud of you for saving up money in case you need it for ivf. Hopefully you won't need it. Or maybe an IUI, which is way cheaper. I've never understood the insurance in the UK. Seems so unfair. You're going to be pregnant soon!!!
hopeful, YAY FOR AN IUI!!!! Unmedicated...so do they track your ovulation or do you just go in when you get a +opk? I'm so excited for you!! Do you have any dates yet? Like when they think you'll be in for the actual iui? I'm not sure how that process works, since I'm sure it's different than ivf. I'm so excited!! And good for you for saving for ivf, just in case. Never hurts. You won't need it though...you'll get preggo with the iui and then you can spend the $$ on a vacation!
Afm, got all of my dates for my new ivf round, and I don't have to take any sick days for the appointments! Just the retrieval and the transfer. That's a relief! Retrieval around december 9. Things that are going differently: I'm on several new supplements and a med for my high prolactin (whatever that means...), I'm doing acupuncture, I'm doing only one med for stimulating and I'm injecting it in the am AND the pm (as opposed to last time when I had 2 meds and did them both at night). Those are some good changes. I hope this round works!

Re insurance in the UK - we all pay "national" insurance to the government through our wages - the more you earm the more you pay. However, each geographical area decides what to do with their budget and lots of districts restrict access to free IVF - so people like me end up paying a ton of insurance but the gvt decide that IVF isnt critical to health and so chose to use the £ on other stuff. We can get personal health insurance - which I had with work until last Jan, but it rarely covers IVF 
Sometimes you just need a lift in this TTC business.
Just another thing to add to the list. Anyway, I shouldn't be negative. Hopefully I'll get the script for the test and take it early next week and the bloodwork will come back fine. Women who have hypothyroidism (which I do) often have elevated prolactin levels. The nurse said that I can't do an IUI this cycle if my prolactin is high after the retest. 
But maybe that's why I didn't have success this past cycle?
soon!
though I could test in 5 at 10DPO if I wanted to. I’m ‘officially’ 5 DPO, though I could be 6. FF says I am 5 but the day it says I ovulated I had an early morning scan and the follicle had popped by 8am so I might have ovulated the night before or early hours of the morning. I’m trying not to SS but I’ve got creamy CM which I’ve never noticed in the LP, and I’ve got some small twinges. I’ve got a dull ache in my abdomen tonight and have a feeling it might be that damn cyst making itself known as I know it’s too early for implantation! I’m so hormonal at the minute – do you think it’s likely to be an effect of the clomid even though I took my last tablet ages ago? Everything is annoying me and stressing me out, and I’m crying over nothing. Had a row with DH tonight and he’s gone out. Apparently I am a horrible bitch like usual 
to keep the 
in place & I love them but they're not reusable & I take it you like reusable/washable things so they'd be no good. I will have to Google sea sponges! x
Send me a pm hun. Hope you are ok xxxxx
