Thats amazing!! Thats the kind of thing that never seems to happen so congrats!

As its all a bit of a whirlwind, don't forget to write down any questions you wanted to ask - I always forget until I come out but I bet its a million times worse when you don't get weeks to agonise over it beforehand.

Hey Ladies,

Well here I am with my update from today's Gyno appointment! Hold on though, 'cause it could be a long ride!!

Well, we rushed to the appointment for 10am, got there - just! and were called in rather quickly (Which was fab - don't think I could have coped with DH Winging!!!). It was the same lady as last time, and she was really lovely!

So first things first, she went through my blood results, which turned out to be absolutely fine!!! apparantly no sign of PCOS from them but she couldnt guarantee I didn't have PCOS though, as I still had an ultrasound which showed cysts on ovaries - So I guess i'm still in lala land with that! But still great news. She said that I may just have some long cycles which can occur for some women Typical Had to me!

Then she moved on to DH - His SA Sample. Now not sure if you remember but I was slightly worried about this, as we didn't quite go by the book on this one. We were supposed to hold off on the whole sex thing for atleast 3/4 days before we had this sample taken - but that kind of went a little wrong, we couldn't stick to it and when it came to it, I think it was more like 12hours we didnt indulge for and not 3/4 days!!! We had also had a boozy and food filled month, as we were on hols and then came home for DH Birthday, so all in all, we were totally dreading these results

She said that the results show that he has more than plenty of the little swimmers though, but their movement wasn't quite up to scratch, which could have been affected by not following the rules!!!, diet, and drinking But as you probably guess DH is chuffed that he has loads of swimmers, and just thinks that his men were a little lazy from from all the partying we did!! lol So from this she suggested some vits for DH, and asked him to come back with another SA, to do some wash and swim thingy with it??!!

So what now???

Well I have been prescribed Clomid which I have to get from the docs to take for 5 days at the beginning of my next cycle from cd2 - cd6 I then have another blood test on cd21 which will show if I have ovulated or not, and also a regular blood test for me and DH to rule out any other issues!!! for later appointments if we would need them!

So all in all I think it was a good appointment, I hope it makes sense and I haven't bored you all too much!!!!

How is everyone else doing????? What's the news with you!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[drakey]

great stuff nnn... not to worry!! your gyno sounds lovley!

.. wished i was prescribed clomid! lol.. instead im stook with the tablets that will make me poo myself haha!!

no news from me... continuing to temp and chart, loose wieght and see the dietician when my appt comes through!

bet ur well chuffed though hun!, well done! and im sure your DH's will be fine once he has got his vits down him! lol xxx

ooh and i used my new 2 decimal place thermometer this morning woohoo! lol x

 

[gypsy]

thats good news nnn,same days as me on the clomid.i bet your chuffed.

no news from me,finally came out of my bad mood late this afternoon,ive got my blood test tommorow which im not looking forward to,i hate needles.

weve been to a friends bonfire and fireworks party tonight,it was ok,but my feet felt like they had turned to ice,pleased to be home wrapped up in my snug rug.lol

 

[nnn84]

Thanks Ladies, yeah Im chuffed. Just waiting to see how this cycle turns out first before thinking of my clomid.

Glad to hear your feeling better gypsy.

And Drakey glad your new thermometer turned up hun!!! Hope it's a lucky thermometer for you!!!

Enjoy the weekend guys, and keep us updated!!!

 

[Bubby]

Heya ladies. Now you've all had your much awaited appointments I hope you're feeling like theres some progress, even if it isn't what you were necessarily after in drakey's case.

With a little bit of baby dust you may get your bfp and won't need to worry anyway!!

 

[nnn84]

Chart Looks amazing Gypsy!!!

Think af is on the way for me though

 

[drakey]

well i am determined to shift some weight, so i think i am going to give the cambridge diet a go.. heard lots of good things about it so i shall be on the phone tonight to get started.. think this is the main reason why my cycles are soo up the wall!

hope your both ok! xxx

 

[Bubby]

The Cambridge diet sounds so scary to me! I wouldn't be allowed to do it because I'm an insulin dependent diabetic but if you have the determination then good luck! x

 

[drakey]

yeh, seeing my counsellor on thursday to get the ball rolling.. my mums offerd to pay for the 1st month to see how i get on bless her.

hw r u all? hws those cycles? n e sign of bfp yet? xx

 

[gypsy]

nnn i hope af doesnt come,fingers crossed for you.

good news about the appointment drakey,youll lose that weight before you know it,nice of your mum to offer to pay too.your charts looking good by the way,if your temp goes up again tomorrow ff will surely confirm ovulation,hopefully your cycles are getting back to normal.

 

[nnn84]

Hey everyone,

what's the news with everyone???

Well Im just waiting for af i think. I started spotting yesterday, but feeling more like af is on her way now though.

I picked up my Clomid from the docs yesterday too, so I get to start that this cycle now once I get to cd2.

Gutted about the bfn this cycle, but really looking forward to clomid now this time round.

Hope everyone else is well
