...No, relaxing will not get me pregnant...lucky CBFM girls!

[Buckles]

Totally and utterly agree, something is always happening x

 

[Mrs.B.]

I agree too, everyone is always stressed, people just deal with it different!

I went to the doctor with massive ear pain a while back, was extremely sore, was told it was from the stress of TTC?! pardon?!

 

[Buckles]

What??? Ear ache is due to stress! God some drs have no idea do they??

Wondering if the dr will put me on clomid tomorrow?!? Xx

 

[No Doubt]

MrsB...What the crap! I would have walked out on that doctor. I don't have MD behind my name, but I would have started with and ear infection, the cold, something other than stress.

That was the first thing my doctor told me. "Try to relax, if you keep thinking about ttc, you'll stress yourself out and it won't happen." Really...?!?!? I'm stressed because it's not happening. At least when I saw the fs, she didn't even go there. She was straight to the point and didn't ask any stupid questions.

Buckles I hope they give you clomid or something to help too. I can't believe you have had to wait so long. It's crazy how some people hand that stuff out like m&m's and others hold onto it like it's the last of their stash.

Girls, I've been to the docs this morning, and they have put us on the Nhs wait list for investigations, which is 2 years!!! Thankfully I have private health care through work, and they will cover the first cost. If I need treatment, we'll have to pay for that ourselves!

Feel a little happier as she ran through all of the tests that were done and explained the figures etc, and we are going down the route of unknown fertility probs as the tests were all ok.

She did say not to stress, which made me chuckle to myself....

Love to you all
Xxx

 

[Mrs.B.]

Oh my god buckles 2 years!!! That's ridiculous, what are the tests? Is that a nationwide waiting time?? X

 

[Buckles]

Hi hun,
They have said for our area it's an average time of 2 yrs and it's done by postcode. All a load of crap to me. She said the further investigations will be the ultrasound and other ones that I can't remember.
So glad I have private health care x

 

[mrsc81]

Yes i would like to know the same Mrs B.. 2 years seems an awfully long time

 

[Buckles]

Welcome to the world of Nhs!! X

 

[No Doubt]

Wow...i wish it was shorter Buckles. Is nhs the private healthcare in the UK? But I'm glad that you're feeling better about the situation.

 

[wookie130]

Buckles, I really feel for you there. That stinks to wait so long, and not fair.

 

[Buckles]

It's 2 years on the Nhs, but about 2 weeks max with private healthcare! Just waiting for the doc to call back with a consultants name and then I'll be able to book our appointment!! Xx

 

[Mrs.B.]

It just worries me as I would have to wait for NHS as I don't have any private medical setup and I would go mad waiting that long!!!

 

[Buckles]

It may not be as long in your area hun! Please don't worry as hopefully you won't need to see a specialist xx

 

[wookie130]

Hey, just a quick update...my progesterone came back at 18.92!!! This is excellent, and means Clomid has given me the much-needed boost, and also that if AF shows up, I'll be on the same dose, 50 mg, 3-7.

So yay!!!

 

[Buckles]

Yah, that's fab news! Hopefully AF won't show for you though xx

 

[wookie130]

Bah, we'll see. My post-ovulatory temps are looking flat at this point, which may indicate that my thermometer's battery needs a change.

 

[No Doubt]

Just thought I would come here to let off some feelings. Been feeling a little down like maybe this won't happen for us. I usually am emotional on cd1 and that's it but I've been emotional now for almost two weeks and crying almost everyday its just not like me, the crying or feeling like this won't happen. We're supposed to make sure the clomid isn't overstimulating me this month...which I think it is cause every month the pain gets worse. I used to not feel ovulation and menstrual cramping was very minor but now it hurts like hell to the point where I have to leave work. And I know that I was ovulating before clomid. Not to mention all the new symptoms and the emotional pain every month. I finally told dh that I don't know how much longer i can do this and honestly I think I'm at the end of rope. He asked if I wanted to try the insemination and if that doesn't work to stop but I told him I don't know. Honestly I'm scared cause if that doesn't work I feel like we are all out of options. But still I think that's where I'm at. Im willing to try insemination for dh but if it doesn't work I'm done.
