[TySonNMe]

I have my fingers crossed for you Mrs N and cazd!! Sending loads of your way! Welcome Jen! I'm still finishing up my Prometrium and anxiously waiting for AF to schedule my HSG.

 

[Kelly9]

So did you do another one cazd? Did you get some mrs n?
Glad to hear things are moving along for you tyson!

 

[Mrs_N]

Haha yup I did

 

[Kelly9]

I was going to say nice temp rise but then I realized you worked nights... hopefully it is still good though.

 

[Mrs_N]

Yeah nights do tend to mess upy temps - typical timing! Won't really know til Tuesday morning what my temp is doing opk wad quite dark but not positive yesterday so I guess that means lh surge is on it's way back down.

Thanks for the welcome everyone, yep I've been taking the vit b complex for about 4 months now and they aren't doing anything...taking more than I prob should be at 150mg this cycle but 100mg wasn't working in the slightest. According to fertiliy friend my ovulation day has been brought forward...that'll def be as a result of the TCM, acu and herbs. DH has started taking wellman and isn't drinking or smoking. His diet sucks though, he needs to eat more leafy greens but he just doesn't like the taste. Too bad for him though he's getting them on his plate and is eating them....or else! That doesn't sound like too long too wait. I got my results back from the gp in November though and he said he would be referring me to the fs and I should have an appointment sorted by Jan....eh hello, it is fecking Jan and no sign of an appointment! I'll give it until next week and if I've not received a letter from the hospital by then I'll ring the gp back. Spent most of the weekend feeling sorry for myself but feeling better now. The gp didn't explain any of the results to dh properly either now I'm thinking about it, he only told him about that the count was low. He didn't tell him about motility, morphology...nothing! For all I know he could have 5 million and none are working...or he could have 5 million and they are all perfect! My head feels melted thinking about it! Hurry up FS!
XO Jen

 

[Mrs_N]

woo, ff has put me at 3dpo! I actually think I'm 2dpo but what difference does a day make, I ovulated!!

Jen hope you hear about the fs appointment soon, so frustrating when you don't ahve all the info!

 

[cazd]

You made an egg Mrs N!!!!!!

And Jen... Drs are mostly PANTS - they know sod all about fertility - its the FS that'll put you straight on everything. Hpefully it won't be too long xxx

TySonnME - how're you doing? did AF show? did she not show and its testing time? when's she due?

As for me... is due today. I've had no more positive sticks since last week so I'm pretty sure I've had a chemical m/c.

Gonna test tomorrow morning if no sign of her but its not looking promising

 

[Mrs_N]

caz, fingers and toes crossed for you that witch doesn't show!

 

[Kelly9]

wow so much is going on these days, I have all my finger and toes crossed for you mrsn and cazd!

 

[yomo]

Evening,

I have just joined so be gentle with me

I feel so much more at ease knowing that i am not the only one struggling to concieve a bundle of joy! looking at all your posts to each other i can see that you are a huge support to each other and that you will allow me to join you.

I have been on the emotional rollercoaster for 4 years but......... today finally me and my husband have taken the first step and gone to seek help.

I feel so much better knowing that i have taken that step which excites me. I am now booked in for my blood test on the 29.01.10 which is going to feel months away! and my OH has got to take a sample to the hospital, does anyone know the next step after that?

Hope to hear from you soon xxx

 

[TySonNMe]

Hi Yomo!!! Welcome!! Don't know much about how the system works over there, but good luck!!

cazd and Mrs N...I have my fingers crossed for you!!

I'm still waiting for the ...don't know when she's to show as I never had regular cycles on my own. I took my last Prometrium pill last night and have never been more excited to see AF!! C'mon !! I want to schedule my appointment so then I have something to look forward to!

 

[Mrs_N]

welcome yomo :wave:
good luck with your bloods & oh's SA. are yours cd3 bloods?
the next step will depend on the results of your tests

tysonme hope af arrives for you!

caz - any news??

 

[Jen1802]

Well Caz did the witch show?? FX'd the answers a no!! I've my next acupuncture appointment this evening and I'm in the 2 ww now, not that it particularly matters as with DH's results I seriously doubt there will be a bfp this month! Hope everyone is ok!!
xo Jen

 

[yomo]

Thanks Tysonnme and Mrs_N thanks for the luck you may be able to fill me in on a few things..... like AF WW it's like reading the morse code lol.

Mrs_N what do you mean by cd3 bloods?

x

 

[Mrs_N]

lol, sorry, you get used to all the abbreviations very quickly!
AF = aunt flo, or your period
WW, as in 2ww = two week wait - the time from ovulation to testing

cd3 bloods = set of blood tests done on day 3 of your cycle. there are also cd21 bloods. are yours booked in for a specific cycle day?

 

[yomo]

Thanks for that Mrs_N it all makes sense now!

I am having my bloods taken on day 21 day but that aint until the 29th Jan!

x

 

[cazd]

Watcha Yomo!!! :wave:

The first round of bloods are good - and its great that they've sent you for a CD21 test straight off the bat.
Our Dr sent us for standard blood tests - not date specific, but when OH's S/A came back stoopid bad then we were referred to the FS.
First FS appointment was 10 weeks later and I was sent for CD3 and CD21 bloods and a HSG. OH was sent for another S/A and a urology appointment.
3 months later we went back to the FS to go through the results.

Well - thats how it happened for us here in Kent but counties differ so much.
Some ladies don't get offered a HSG if the are bad...

Anyhoo - as for me... I'm still waiting for the
POAS every day and totally negative since the 3 positives last week.
It HAS to be a chemical... I just want it to be over now

 

[Mrs_N]

[cazd]

ooh - Mrs N.... could this be your last 2ww....?
