Thanks for the info Kelly! Good to know...thanks for the support Mrs. N!! How is everyone doing?? Cazd, I hope you're keeping up the PMA...I need some!! I hate this waiting for AF on Prometrium.
 
well my PMA is dwindling - probably 'cos I'm in my 1ww and with no interesting symptoms and CM just the same as usual... it doesn't look likely...
hey ho - not long to go and we'll be on knicker watch!

Kelly - thanks for the info on ICSI. It sounds so un-natural.

We haven't been given any information about what treatments been offered so I guess we'll hear all about it when we go see the clinic.
But... if that's whats in store then I don't think we'll have it.

OH is going to see if he can lose weight and eat better and not drink from tomorow.
He needs to lose 5 1/2 stones :shock:
I reckon we'll do it naturally with his body in better shape....
 
Cazd it might take longer but I Am living proof it can happen. Besides you can always try IUI a couple times and it is more natural.
 
OK - PMA has shot up!!

Just got a second line on a FRER :bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp:

I'm gonna test again tomorrow and hope it wasn't just a random evap - although I've never had an evap so I don't see how that could be true :smug:

I'll keep you posted!
 
OMG Cazd was just stalking you guys to see how it was going - Yeah!!!

:happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:

Great start to 2010!!!
 
OMG OMG OMG caz!!! :wohoo: :wohoo: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
I am so so delighted for you! eeek!!
show us a pic!
 
Here you go!!!

FRER - but you have to click on it to make it big to see the line...
there is a line right?
I did another superdrug cheapo stick too and there's a shadow of a line on that too.
I'm so excited - bouncing between happy and doubtful...
I'm calling this faint line my little fat positive...:rofl:
It hasn't shown up so well in the pics - its darker in real life - promise!
I'm gonna test again on Saturday and hopefully it'll be darker then...

SO SO SO glad you see it! I keep thinking I'm making it up and it can't be true...
Its been so very long.
Can we all be preggers now please????
 
OMG!!!!!! Csunshines journal was right!!!!!! I see colour in the second pic and a line in both! You're still 4 days away from testing it should get darker! OMG!!!!!!!!!! I am super excited for you! See I told you it could happen!!!!!! Keep us updated with your other pee tests ok! HUGE CONGRATS
 
Hey all was wondering if I could join you's? I've been ttc for 8 months now and I've a luteal phase defect (I don't have a tww, more like 8 days!) On top of that my dh has low sperm count 5 million per mil where it should be 20 million which we found out on Wednesday. Needless to say we're absolutely gutted, our gp is referring is to the fertility clinic at our local hospital. I just wanted to check how long it takes from the tests they run until prescribing a set course of treatment. The gp said that we would have to have assisted conception, assume he means ICSI. Need to find my PMA again but finding it tough as I'm really scared about success rates for the treatments. I'm currently trying tcm and it seems to be working well to bring forward my ovulation and now DH is going to try it too in hope that it will increase his sperm count.

Hey you - come and join us!!!

Hopefully you'll get that LP increased - I know there's something you can take to help stretch it out - B-vits? oh - I can't remember... sorry.

As for the :spermy: get your man on the fertility vits and to quit booze and dodgy food.
Its supposed to help but we didn't see much benefit..:shrug:

As for the referral I only know about Kent but we saw the doc and were referred to FS and we had our first FS appointment about 10 weeks from that.
I had a scan and OH saw an urologist and then I had my HSG and we had loads of bloods done and 3 months from our first FS appointment we had our second FS appointment when they said we're being referred for IVF.
But... with such a low sperm count we actually got referred for ICSI.

Sorry if you've heard all this before but Just wanted to say you're not on your own.
We went to the docs after 6 months of trying and we're in cycle 13 and I just got my :bfp: at 8 dpo... if you can get that LP just a little bit longer there's still a chance!
 
Hi Jen1802 :wave:
sorry you are struggling, there are definately some things you can do if you aren't already!
B vitamins can be very helpful for lengthening luteal phase, and I've heard zinc is good for the :spermy:
as has been shown on this thread a few times recently - anything is possible so hang on in there!

been to see my GP this afternoon - got my Clomid :thumbup:
 
Jen: Look into b vits like mrs n said to lengthen LP they really work.

Mrs N! Woo Hoo!!!! Get sexin up your hubby!
 
girls... guess I might still be reproductively challenged....
tested this morning after no fluids last night and NOTHING.

My little fling with pregnancy was fun but I think its over now :hissy:
 
Hmm well it's not over yet caz :hugs: :dust:

waiting til I can get home from work & seduce hubby cos I got a positive opk :rofl:
 
But we all saw the lines? The second pic even had pink colouring... although I just noticed the pg line is close to the left side of the test and not the same distance as the control line is from the right side so it looks kind of off anyone else notice this? Weird but a line is a line dammit! I know I am not crazy I saw them. I say wait till either day af will show or day after and test again with a frer.
 
MrsN - you go girl !! and you got CLomid too :wohoo:

I thought it was odd that the lines were in different places....
I should leave it a few days and then test again but I KNOW I'll be testing again tomorrow morning :rofl:
