A pregnancy wouldn't show on an US until at least 6-8 weeks and even then it's tiny. Wouldn't hurt to try a cheap hcg to make sure.

I'm sorry if I misread you before, but I thought you said you had started taking soy so I assumed your af had started.

 

[EmilyDB1993]

I'm on my 80th day of my cycle at the minute, I didnt know when AF was gonna start so I just started taking them :/ I did a HCG a few days ago and it came back negative x

80 days? No wonder you got fed up waiting! Soy stimulates ovulation so might be better to get something from docs to bring on your af? Sorry if you've already tried this, I'm TTC a year but not knowledgable about long cycles, but I do know it's best to have a fresh womb lining to implant a pregnancy. Maybe someone else on this thread can give better advice than me lol x

 

[EmilyDB1993]

I'll have to ask if period doesn't come by the middle of May. I came off BCP in February so I'm sure he'll say, "BCP does fluff up your cycles for a while, it'll come back eventually!" *grumble* xx

Congrats on the positive opk hopefulmum get BD and catch that egg

Congrats on the bfp leeC and indianapops

Emily I know how you feel. I'm on Cd91!

AFM had my doctors appointment today to get my blood test results. Most of my bloods were normal - testosterone, glucose, liver, kidneys etc. The only thing the bloods showed was the ratio of LH to FSH. It should be 1:1 but mine is 2:1 indicating PCOS along with bilateral multifolicular ovaries. My LH was 10.1 and my FSH was 5.1. She was really nice and said she had been thinking about when to refer me. She asked me how long i had been trying and I told her 7/8 months (4/5 months in reality) so she said usually they wait 12 months for normal couples before they intervene but because i have PCOS and havent had a period in 3 months she has refered me now to an outpatient fertility specialist with a view to starting Clomid to induce ovulation. She has also refered me to a dietician so that I can talk it over with someone and hopefully lose weight.
Its the best result i could have gotten. She said appoitments come through quite quickly so i shouldnt need to wait long. I asked about provera and she said she hadnt heard of that but she doesnt want to prescribe anything as the fertility specialist will sort that out once i see them.
So to sum up, im very happy Hopefully i will get an appointment soon and be prescribed provera followed by clomid!!!!!!

Sorry for the long update, i was very excited by the news lol xxx

Diddums are you in uk? If so, be prepared to wait a few months. We too were excited at being referred in oct last year, we finally get to see the FS on Tuesday next week (6 months). Got clinic appt thru for feb, had tests in march & had to wait another 2 months for consultant appt regarding results).

Fingers crossed for you that it's not a long wait for you.

 

[poppy666]

Yes we had too wait 6 months too, but then everything went so quick ready to be put on the Short protocol but never got passed the scan before treatment.

 

[Diddums]

Thanks poppy and just married. Where in the uk are you two? I'm in Surrey which I think has quite short waiting lists for procedures. The dr did say my i wouks get an appointment quite quickly but I guess I will wait and see. Thanks for the heads up! Good luck for Tuesday just married! Xx

 

[poppy666]

Im in Lancashire, fx'd you get seen soon

 

[billyandbob]

Thought I would just say hello instead of just reading about you all, I have been TCC for what feels like a life time, had my bloods done this cycle for the first time to be told I didnt ovulate, which I found very very odd as I had the most mamoth pisitive OPK's. Oh well just waiting for AF to start (due today or tomorrow) so I can start on SOY and kick start those eggs!

Good luck everyone

 

[poppy666]

Good luck sweetie

 

[Diddums]

Hope AF arrives soon billyandbob. How long have you been trying? Have you used soy before? Have you decided on what dose?

Cd92 and nothing yet! Just wish AF would hurry up so that I can get a cycle of soy in before I see the specialist xx

I'm in central Scotland diddums, appt came thru relatively quickly but was for a nurses clinic & nurse gave me internal scan & we were given all the paraphernalia to get blood tests, urine tests & sperm analysis. We were told they wouldn't let us have appt with consultant until all samples were in, which we did ASAP and were given consultant appt two months away.

I'm too old for nhs treatment anyway so I don't really know why I'm jumping through hoops anyway just to be told they won't help.

Full of the joys of spring me, eh? I hope you're right and you don't need to wait that long, I just thought I'd warn you as I was same as you, quite excited at being referred. Here's hoping you fall pregnant before your 1st appt, you hear about this happening all the time don't you? Xxx

 

[Diddums]

Thanks just married. Yeh I know it will prob be a little wait until appointment but it's got me all excited something is being done. My dr did say the appointment was an outpatient app with the fertility dr so who know. I've had scan and bloods si I guess hubby would still new a SA?did your hubby go to the appointments with you? X

Thats good that you've had the tests already, yeah I would imagine they would ask for new SA before you saw doc as they like to have all info in front of them before diagnosing & treatment.

The Nhs clinic we went to insisted my hubby attend as they needed his medical history etc & consent in treatment. Also, they asked us to provide ID as apparently some people have duped clinic into free treatment, crazy stuff lol

 

[Diddums]

Did they provide all the things you needed in a letter? Did the letter say hubby needed to go with you then? Thanks for the help xx

 

[Just_married]

Yeah, letter said bring ID, bring partner, any current medications. On first visit they ask LOTS of questions to try & get a background to any potential issues - where you work, medication your on, any past pregnancies, and operations, hobbies, etc.

They also took basic blood & urine tests on dh. He was asked to provide SA on different day as he needed to abstain etc and make appt to hand it in.

Pm me if you need any info x

 

[billyandbob]

Hope AF arrives soon billyandbob. How long have you been trying? Have you used soy before? Have you decided on what dose?

Cd92 and nothing yet! Just wish AF would hurry up so that I can get a cycle of soy in before I see the specialist xx

My god I be going mental if my cycles were that long! Hats off to you lady! Been try for 18 months now and this cycle will be the first using soy, have been reading through and through this thread I think I might try the 120 building up to 160 on cycles days 3-7. AF was due yesterday and still no show so still waiting for her to raise her ugly head.

FX your cycle be over soon too chick,
