Spock im so glad the HSG went well and it was quick and painless! I knew both of you ladies would do great!! No off to get the SA! Hopefully that will come back clear as well!
And honestly, I would NOT write off this cycle bc you had the HSG. You can totally get preg after the HSG. I think they suggest you shouldn't have intercourse for 24 hours but that's only for your comfort as some women are in pain. I don't think it matters otherwise!! I'll be waiting patiently to hear if you get that BFP! And that's for both of you ladies!!
I'm anxious to get started. Sick of sitting around waiting, becoming so irritable! I just HATE not knowing exact dates. Im thinking Af will come wed may 29, give or take a couple days, then an US and b/w and then I'll be on my way, dh leaves the 31 for 2 weeks so this will be interesting! He will def have to come home for the ER bc we will need his speem, but other than that, the injections are up to me. Not looking forward to that! Already got meds in the mail and I'm freaking already!!
Having sex to get pregnant sounds so foreign to me these days!!!! Ugh :/ my sis is on her honeymoon and ttc so she might end up preg first. I really hope my first ivf works!!!!!

Hi Stacer 
Thanks so much for the encouragement
Aww Stace, I can't believe that you're getting so close to it all! I can understand it being really daunting but I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine. The injections, I've heard, are not really bad. I think once you get over the first two then you'll have no problem with the rest. It's a shame that hubby won't be around in those two weeks because he could've helped you with them.
I know there are lots of ladies on here who are going via IVF and they might be able to help you too. Are you doing the short or long protocol?
Your sis may get pregnant but you may also be pregnant at the same time. That would be awesome as you can go through the journey together
Stace, I know so many girls who have problems conceiving just from my circle of friend. It's more common than we think. I found out yesterday that my cousin and his wife are pregnant but I also found out that they went down the IVF route and it worked first time!
You're just one steep closer to your baby

Those lines were just nasty... AF arrived this morning at 10DPO - Back on SI next cycle and hope i get good results with the LP like the month before... this is never going to happen with a frigging 9 day lp
wish you all the best of luck and please keep me posted x

Aww Shells
That witch
is just evil 
but those HPTs are even worse. That's horrid!!
I am still very, very hopeful for you though, honestly! When you go for your next appointment with specialist demand Clomid. I really think it would help you hon. Also when I mentioned my short LP to the FS she advised possibly taking Natural Progesterone but she didn't seem that bothered by it.....
The only thing we can do is keep trying
I am certainly going to give myself another 6 months. If nothing happens I'm going straight back to FS for more invasive help!

Wow that's a blazing positive go get on that man lol x
Hey girls 
How are we doing?
Stacer, how's it going hon? Have you started the injections?
Shells, how you doing? Actually, I wanted to ask you....After your HSG did you have a feeling of being bruised inside for a few days after? The actual procedure didn't hurt me at the time or the rest of that day, but for the following few days I felt like I had been punch. A kind of uncomfortable feeling but only on my right side. I'm much better now but I was wondering if something had moved or something had been bothered by the dye
We still 
though!!
I am now 5 or 6 DPO ( I think).... Don't think it's happened though.....
Lots of love girlies
Also I can across this article. Interesting read....

Hi ladies!
I just got Af today so I called to set up my bloodwork and US appt for tomorrow do just waiting for a callback and will be on my way. I know I can be a bit dramatic, but I asked my dh for support and he says "you'll do fine", which isn't enough for me, so its going to be a loooonnnnggg 2 weeks. Probably best he won't be here for me to take out my frustrations on!! But since he will be training, I might not get to talk to him all that much-not sure if that will be good or bad. I told him I'm going to need a lot of support...let's hope that happens!!! Otherwise you'll be hearing from me a lot. Guys just don't get it!!!
After my HSG I had some cramping, but nothing too bad. It's been about a week since your HSG right? If so maybe call the dr and let him know what's going on just for Peace of mind. Seems a bit long to still be in pain.
Also wanted to mention. I know you ladies don't want intervention to get pregnant, nor did I, but I wanted to suggest that if and when you decide to get intervention, I would do it a couple of months before you're actually ready. Reason being is because I went to my fs in feb, even after I had the HSG, US and numerous bloodwork, but I'm just now getting started with ivf, almost 4 months later. So it's very very timely to get things moving. So would advise you to go 4 months before you're absolutely ready that way you're not waiting 4 months and bding absolutely ready like me. I didnt start infertility testing until sept of last year, but that was 4 months after a year of ttc with no luck. I wish I would've gone sooner. So just something to think about. But I obviously hope you don't need any assistance!! Xx

spockette - My pain got worse the days after, felt like i'd done 10 rounds with tyson lol I still had pain in my left side right up until AF showed... and a word of warning if she does show (i really hope she doesn't!) be prepared for one of the worst Af's of your life.... TMI but i was passing clots the size of golf balls yesterday, soaking through tampons in 2 hours! 
So sore! Better today and a bit more 'normal' heavy... but the cramps were a killer last night! x
Stacergirl - it's not that i don't want intervention I would love to try IUI or IVF but i'm not allowed it on the NHS in our PCT because DH has 2 kids I'm hoping to appeal when i find who to appeal to x I just can't afford the £5000 to pay for it out of pocket xx
please keep us posted how it's going for you, and we're here to support you when DH can't (men are useless sometimes with things like this) x

Stacer, thanks for the heads up on intervention. It's amazing how quickly time passes without realising. I won't be able to have any free treatment as I already have a child but if it doesn't happen for us, we will definitely go private and there isn't a waiting list for that, thank goodness.
I cannot believe your treatment is here already. Please, please don't ever feel alone. We are always here. You can talk to us, scream, shout, whatever you want to do. Guys, really do not get it but I think it's because a woman feels the maternal instinct the moment she knows she's pregnant. A man doesn't feel like a father until the baby is born. That's the difference between the sexes
Keep us posted chick
Shells, really sorry you went through a painful AF I used to suffer with them horrendously when I was younger but since having my DD, I've been ok. I also have a tilted womb so don't feel it so much. I'm also glad I'm not the only one that felt sore after HSG. I thought the worse I'm hoping the dye managed to clear me out though.... Not holding much hope for this month but apparently you're more 'fertile' three months after HSG.
I guess only time will tell.....
Thanks girls and lots of love

Spock-they do say the first 3 months after an HSG that you're the most fertile! Hope that's the case for both of you ladies!
Shells-sorry you had a horrible Af. That's sucks about the nhs, they're not officially your kids! Well I know what you mean about not being able to afford it. We're paying out of pocket and the insurance company is only covering $3000, so we're still paying $13000. That's a freaking car for gods sake. Hopefully this ends in a BFP and the baby grows up to make lots of money and support us! Lol
Well I have an update, finally!!! Af came yesterday, went in this morning for baseline ultrasound and b/w and just got the call to start Stimming tomorrow!! Eek! I'm excited. However dh left today for 2 weeks so I'm on my own for the injections! I hope I can do it! Dh will come back for about 24 hours to do the ER and then be back on his way to finish up his 2 weeks but hopefully will be home for the ET!! I really hope he's home for the transfer!! Otherwise that would suck! Although I'd have to do it on my own! I tell him he's getting out so lucky! Either way, I'm praying for a miracle!

Stacer, that's awesome news ...... I am so thrilled for you. It really sucks that you have to pay so much money but it will so be worth it when you have that little one(s) in your arms (you might even end up with twins) 
I'm sorry hubby has had to go but we're here for you hon..... Anytime you're feeling like you're having a down day just post away and we will be there.
Lots of love and hugs xx.

Stacergirl - that brilliant news!! So glad you had no trouble with the injections, sucks about hubby being away so much around this time but we're here for you xx
Spokette - how are you doing? has the pain settled down any yet? x
AFM.. even though AF was super super heavy... it's gone right when it usually does so i'm a happy girl! Time to start BD every other day we're away on when O day should be, for 4 days... but in separate hotels! 
He's working and has to share with a colleague and i'm going on a jolly (to the same place lol) with friends - going to be weird kissing him good night and going to separate beds lol We should get plenty in before hand though lol x
I'm curious as we know so much about intimate details of each of other yet i actually don't know what your 'real' names are lol i'm Shellie, and if you want to share that would be great, if not no worries

Hi girls 
Stacer, well done you
Nobody likes the idea of having to inject themselves so that's great. By the time you've finished the injections, you're going to be able to do them with your eyes closed standing on your head
Shells, it wasn't pain I was feeling, it was just a more uncomfortable feeling I had in my right ovary and round that back. Felt like I had a lot of bruising. It was really irritating me
But I am feeling a lot better thanks hon. Just waiting for AF to rear her ugly face 
I can't believe you'll be in separate hotels during a crucial time
Is there anyway, you guys can secretly sneak one of you in the hotel and have a bit of bonk
It's soooooooo true, we've been chatting to each other for a few months and no nothing about each other..... Ok, I will very happily introduce myself....
My name in Maria (Maz). I'm 35
and have been married for nearly three years and have a two year old little girl. I've was born and bred in good 'old London but my parents are both Cypriot.....
.......so there you have it. A little bit about me......
Xxxx
