[PinkPeony]

Good thread.... Interesting to see where everyone's at. Here's my deets:

1 how long have you been trying about 15 months. I don't like to count.
2 whats the next plan on action Finally have a FS appointment to get all my testing done as well as a SA for DH. Had to wait a year to get a referral (typical I know)... got my referral in June, appointment is in september.
3 what have if any have you been diagnosed with Nothing yet (see #2). My acupuncturist diagnosed me with Spleen Qi deficiency.
4 do you currently have any children at all Never had a BFP
5 have you had losses I've had some odd things happen around AF a couple times since I started TTC which sometimes makes me think maybe I had some verrrry early losses. But that's all speculation.

1 how long have you been trying - 4 years 9 months

2 whats the next plan on action - more progesterone testing this cycle to see if the ovulation last month was a fluke or if the NSAID's I'd been taking the whole time we've been TTC until recently, were what's been stopping me from ovulating (I'm a little bitter that I had to find this out by myself and that none of my drs mentioned that side effect). If I ovulate then we'll carry on trying and waiting for IVF (Oct 2013), if I don't then we'll start clomid.

3 what have if any have you been diagnosed with - PCOS, endometriosis, & inflammatory arthritis which may be a factor

4 do you currently have any children at all - I have none, DH has 2 from a previous relationship

5 have you had losses - I had one last year

Why have they told you, you are not eligible for funding?

 

[Briss]

Why have they told you, you are not eligible for funding?

IUI - cos of hubby's low sperm count
IVF - cos of my high FSH

we are trying to improve both although I think FSH is very hard to reduce
