Sammy glad all went well too!!!!
hopefully as soon as saying comes back we can see what the deal is with me!!

wine and steak sound very good!! i'm working all weekend so on snow watch as its coming down thick and fast! also am now 2DPO so no more drinking for me for 2 weeks (don't know why I bother really!!) i've just done garlic stuffed chicken with salad and new potatoes with crumble to follow :0) i'm not sure if my work offers time off for anything relating to TTC. They gave me a night off for my HSG though but trying to keep it on the QT at work. xx

Oh I don't bother with not drinking after dpo. I hardly drink anyway, and each month I think there is no chance so what the he'll.
AF arrived today had an argument with hubby last night over an open window - stupid eh... and it's now still going on, he was supposed to finish at 5am sent me a text saying he'd be really late off. when he did get in and come to bed I said I thought he'd be later that 7am and he just flipped saying wasn't 7am late enough??? Sometimes I just want to get a saucepan and hit him round the head with it!!!!

just not good when I'm feeling extra emotional about this fertility issue and what I'm going to have to go through for all this, in fact I'm really scared. scared of how I'll cope going through it, during it and after it if it's unsuccessful, when he is happy all he has to do is wank into a pot and his side is done, and said all he wants to know is what he has to do. So feel a bit on my own at the moment and that when I try to explain how I feel he'll just be "get a grip".

on top of this the worry with the house move, money to do with the physical move. I'm the kind of person who needs to know what money is due on what day etc so I can plan round it!!!!

just having a bad week and in particular cannot stop thinking about things Sony mind is just racing at 100mph.....

sorry just needed a rant!!!!

 

[mizza1987]

rant away hon - that's what we're here for :0) it's perfectly normal to be scared - I am absolutely petrified about having gone through all this and there being no baby at the end, hubby has been quite pessimistic but he's now working on being more positive.

was doing some research on which fertility clinic . to go to - think I know which one I want to go to, which seems to have . higher rate of success too...... So did something positive that I can do something about!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

U going private?

 

[pcsoph2890]

No the Dr said we could choose which clinic we want to be treated at. we' 'll have ournhs treatment there and if need be carry on there privately too. Care fertility at nottm business park looks quite good and people who I know who have gone through th I vs there highly recommend it!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Derby is care too. Hope oh analysis goes ok is it on the 29th?
I rang for cancellation today but no luck xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

Yeah, me too. apparently it should take 5 days for the results - so . a . matter of calling for an appt I suppose afterwards to discuss them, so at least my tests can get started and I'll get them done sooner rather than later so that we can get cracking with everything, as only got couple of months left of being 37...... I know it doesn't dip the day you turn 38 could be before or later etc but it's my way of giving us the best chance!!!!

yes it's Care fertility - looks like it has a good success rate, but cause i'm on the cusp of 38 the results drastically dip!!!!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Have you got any links for care success rates?
I had all my tests within 2 weeks but now have another 8 weeks to wait for results appt so atleast a little bit of it is quick xx

 

[pcsoph2890]

Just type in care fertility Nottingham and it'll give you the results for different techniques they do, dependant on age, live births, implantation etc......

Can I join you all? Just had my first appt. this last Tue. Dh is due to go for SA on Sun. I'll have to call af d1 for d3 blood. Been trying year and a half, living in Abu Dhabi.

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Wow I so want to holiday where ur from.
How was ur first appt?
X

 

[awifey]

It was ok. The place I'm going is German. She did a pap and a Trans-v ultrasound. She said the uterus and ovaries looked fine, saw follicles. She said that show I'm about 80% of the way good. The other stuff she'll have to check later, insurance purposes.

She also made it clear that dh must get SA. He finally has an appointment!

I will have to call on af d1 to make appt. for blood draw on af d3. Insurance will cover some testing, not all.

In about 2.5 weeks will go back to her with husband's results and to see what my results are. . It's a waiting game at the moment!

 

[sammy1987xxx]

We have to wait until 18th march so that's really good x

 

[mizza1987]

that sounds really good!! i'm not going back to the clinic until the 22nd march - first appointment was on 28th December!!! I'm having my ultrasound on monday and then it's a waiting game! xxx

 

[sammy1987xxx]

We can wait it out together. x

 

[awifey]

I am happy things are starting to move...I got really lucky, I almost had to wait until the end of Feb. but there was a last minute cancellation I was able to take.

Everyone here gets healthcare, what it covers differs. All the facilities are...different too. Almost no doctors here have English as their first Language. :/

 

[pcsoph2890]

I just hope after hubby sa wash we don't have to wait long for the result appt then an appt for me to be tested for my tubes...... Just annoying it took hubby so long to make his appt!

 

[awifey]

Ya, what is with dhs wanting a baby, getting frustrated when it doesn't happen quickly, and then not wanting to do their part quickly! They have it easier, too.
