Lindsey - I can't believe your docs etc haven't been more helpful. I'm in the UK and after stopping bcp and not getting AF for 3 months I had loads of blood tests done, by 5 months I had a ultrasound, 6 months they sent me to the FS who then said wait another 4/5 months before having a proper FS appointment as you do have to have a year of trying first. Went to my appointment in Oct and already had my HSG and OH is having is SA today and I have been given a prescription for clomid...I have to say I couldn't ask for more from the NHS in my area. It is a shame they aren't the same all over the country.

Sparkle....sorry to hear you aren't feeling great. Good news baby Sparkle is ok though and putting a smile on your face.

Dandy...although it is really frustrating just think IF AF does come you can use the clomid from the start of your cycle which may work better.

Welshie...wherever you are hope you are ok.

Char....didn't realise you had such a long journey to getting your BFP, well deserved I think!

SBB...hope you are well.

TNT....sorry you are still not feeling great, I hope they sort everything for you asap so you can get on with a new cycle. Just remember to get lots of rest, your body needs it.

Aj...happy car hunting..hope you get a good one.

Hello to anyone i've missed!!

:wave: girls

Just got back from the dr. Im still "technically" preg. My body is holding onto pieces of placenta right now. Have to have an ultrasound tomorrow at 2 to see if there is pieces left in me. and then redo HCG levels on Friday. She said my body still just wants to be pregnant. =( so I guess we will see what happens. If I have pieces in me still then I will more than likely have a D&C. So idk what to think right now. She thinks I would be cleared to try again when AF returns but gotta get through this first. She said I had a working cyst that was producing progesterone so no need for the cream. And she said the red rasberry is good to go. So I guess just wait for tomorrow.....I just want this over with so i can sorta move on.

Hello Ladies!!

I have been reading this thread and also about Maca. I have decided to join Maca club. DH and I have not been doing "IT" enough so still TTC.. I live in Canada, so can anyone tell me where I can buy it from - pharmacy or online. I often go to States, so I can buy Maca from there too. Please let me know which brand I should be buying.

Thanks,
Val

Welcome and stick around this is the best thread ever

AJ- Wow you are VERY dedicated! I wish I had that motivation. I couldn't do like two of those things. HAHA no way no how!

Dandy- Remeber that it took me 4 cycles of clomid for me to get a bfp. Once I went up to 100mg we got it. So dont give up just yet hunni. Im sure your BFP is right around the corner.

:wave: Kel, Never, Leeze, SBB

AFM- Feeling like crap-ola! Had to have a transvaginal ultrasound today. Usually I always have those but today it hurt alot. I do have tissue still in me and my cervix is closed. So IDK if this means D&C or not?? The US tech called my dr but she wasn't in today and will more than likely call me tomorrow morning. Im cramping alot and dizzy and nauseous! Shoot I just realized I have more preg symptoms now then I did!

Well Im off to chill out for the rest of the night! Have a good night/day girls!

AHHH Hun I feel for you that just sucks and feel like giving mother nature a box what the plan do you know, I assumed they checked start drinking that rasberry leaft tea it might help expel what left and I hope they help you so you can move on. I hate limbo land

How is every one else doing, I was on the TV on Monday night fightening for Child benefit for children in Ireland I was dreading it but it went well and have had a good response so far.

I had NO symptoms on this last pregnancy. I remember having more symptoms in the 2WW on the cycles that I didn't get pregnant, than when I was actually pregnant.. Same with my first pregnancy- NO symptoms. The only reason why I knew to test was because my period was late.

Hello to anyone i've missed!!

yazzy sounds like you have a great doc btw

yeah im not due to see my gyn next wed...but if AF starts on Sat (which i think it will) then technically i should start the clomid on tues? do i start it or do i call the gyn and ask? she wants me to have a blood test next week, prob mon or tues, but if AF is here there wont be any point to that will there?? i should prob call when AF shows...

Kel - Oh Yea definatley, everybody has a hard journey & noone truly can understand!
glad your back temping so we can see not that it makes any sense to me Haha

I really wna see paranormal activity 2 anyone seen it?

Hi everyone

Lindsay, I can really relate to feeling frustrated with the NHS. I went to my doctor because I'm 38 and had read after 6 months you should get tests. He said normally for our local area it's 18 months before you get referred.

Funny thing is though, I went to a Fertility Show in London on Saturday and there was the Medical Director from my local hospital fertility clinic saying that it's after 12 months that you can get a referral. So, I'm going back to my Doctor to put a bit more pressure on! The Medical Director guy suggested if you want to find out what the local eligibility criteria is for your NHS fertility clinic then if you put your GP's postcode plus "PCT" into Google then this will tell you what your local Primary Care Trust is and then you can go into their website (the local PCT one) and find out where your local fertility clinic is and then email the clinic to find out what their eligibility criteria is. Once you know that then you can be better armed when going to the doctor.

I found out the criteria for my local place (from the medical director's talk) is

- aged between 22-39
- BMI less than 30
- non-smoker
- with partner for at least a year and living together at least a year
- no living children in current relationship
- been registered with local doctor for at least a year

I hope this is helpful - but also don't give up on this month yet. It's not over unless AF comes!!

I had an appointment this morning with a fertility specialist at a clinic near my work (Zita West - anyone heard of her - she wrote a book about how to improve your chances of conceiving through changes to lifestyle, nutrition and reducing stress). It was really reassuring - she said 11 months of TTC is quite a short time and the fact that we got a BFP (even though miscarried) is a really good sign. I'm also going to see a nutritionist next week too because she said she thought I could make some positive changes to my diet. Also she said to BD at least 3-4 times a week, exercise regularly, don't eat too late and to try to reduce stress at work. I'm going to start acupuncture next week too. she gave me a really short acupuncture treatment as part of the consultation today because I'm on day 14 and got a positive O today. I definitely feel a lot more positive about things. And I got some very noticeable EWCM today - so when my OH gets home in about 5 mins I'm going to be jumping on him!

Sorry for really long message but I thought some of this info might be helpful to others xxx
