Hi, how is everything going?
Hope your keeping well.
I had my third appointment with the gyno today - It went better than I thought it might - we actually spoke to the main specialist and not her registrar which was good, and she was lovely!
DH 's second SA came back today and there was a huge improvement, she actually said that it was all in normal ranges - so we are chuffed with that
My bloods didn't show high enough results from the clomid, so I have to have another blood test on the 3rd of Feb, and if that comes back the same, then my dosage of clomid will be increassed. Apparantly, they didn't give me a higher dosage of clomid last time, because my blood levels were quite high, which increassed my chances of multiples??!!! but as they stand now, they will just increase the dose anyway as long as we don't have a problem with multiples.
She also started the ball rolling with IVF and ICSI - We go back in June, and if there is no joy we will start the ICSI then, and we are being put on the waiting list for IVF which can take up to a year. She was pushing more for the IVF basically making out that that was the best and 'the golden ticket' as she called it! but they will do both, as we wait for IVF.
Am really relieved after today, and hopeful again that clomid may do the trick for us as DH's sa was normal.
So fingers crossed for that light at the end of the tunnel!
Sorry for the rant, but it was a lot to take in today, and really good to put it down in writting.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks gypsy. How are your temps? they look quite high when you have taken them.
do you think the witch is on her way then? Did you get your clomid from the docs, or was it from the specialist? Whats next for you if you don't get a bfp this cycle?

Hey ladies..
Well looks like the chinese herbs and acupuncture worked for me.. AF arrived last Friday and it was a proper AF.. My only other 2 that i've had since coming off BCP were very light but this one was decent.. I'm so glad to be on a new cycle!.. Just hoping now that it will help me to have regular cycles too.. guess i'll know in about 25days!

hi nnn dont know what my temps have been over past couple of days,i forgot about it until it was to late,i had a little bit of spotting today,pmt big style over the last few days and dark circles under my eyes which i always get,i think she should be here in full force tomorrow.
i got clomid of the specialist,i go back to see her in march,last time i seen her she told me to ask my dr if they would give me another 6 months of clomid and they did,so ive still got another 6 month but deep down i honestly think its ever going to happen,i know we all get them thoughts some times but why does it have to take so long........
hey carrie good that the acupuntcure and herbs have worked hopefuly you wont get af next time but bfp...

Hi ladies! I've been putting off posting this because I feel kinda guilty but can't keep it in anymore...
I'm pregnant!!
I was due to start clomid towards the end of feb and I was waiting for my new cycle so I could book my HSG so when I hit about 84 days I thought enough is enough, I'll get some progesterone off the Dr and get the cycle started but before I called them I obviously had to do a test just in case. I didn't actually believe hubby when he said there was a line! I'm now about 6 weeks gone so still early but because I'm type 1 diabetic I've already seen the specialist midwife, specialist nurse, my diabetic consultant, dietician, had a (very) early scan etc.
I worked out I must have ovulated around day 70 or so and I think I'm still in disbelief.
I really hope that you all get to join me in 1st tri very soon and thank you so much for the support you've given me over these last months.
Babydust for you all!!!

Hi ladies,
I am currently on cd 66! DH and I just started TTC in Jan so I wasn't paying attention to my cycles at all before then. So I'm not sure how long they normally are nowadays. We already have a 3 year old daughter and before I got preggo with her I kept track of how long my cycles were. I was averaging about 35 to 40 days back then.
I speculated about being pregnant, but 5 HPTs spread over several weeks leads me to believe I am not, plus DH and I have only done the BD twice (Jan 9th and Feb 13) in this cycle. This cycle started Dec 18th. So if I were to be preggo, I'd assume it's with the Feb 13 BD. I've taken one test already since then, but realize it was probably too early.
So now I'm waiting til the 25th (12 days past the bd). I don't know when or if I ovulated this cycle since I didn't start charting until the last few days. So who knows?
When I got preggo with my daughter I knew something was up on cd 28 when my bbs became super sensitive/tender. On cd 30 I got a BFP. It was coincidentally my first cycle after getting married (my cycle started the day after the wedding, of all times!) and we certainly weren't TTC, but weren't using any BC either.
So anyways, sorry if this was so long, but I just can't wait for my period or some definite preggo symptoms to show up! I hate waiting on the

hi amberdawn,we all know what your going through on here,we seem to spend our lives waiting for ovulation,then af as well as all the hospital appointments,it drives you mad at times.
