I just started back with my OB so I'm not quite sure how they do things yet. My first appointment was very overwhelming. They did my whole typical yearly checkup and then threw a ton of info at me, prescribed me new prenatal vitamins, and gave me a bunch of papers to set appointments for blood work and genetic testing. I still haven't sorted through it all. My next appointment is in 4 weeks and I'll be meeting with an actual OB then instead of the nurse practitioner so I may get a scan then. I'll also get a scan in a couple weeks (whenever I schedule my genetic testing) since they test for down syndrome that way. The place I go to has 3 OBs and they rotate schedules so whoever is on-call when baby comes is who will deliver. Hoping it is my OB but it may not be so I have to make appointments with the others too to meet them all. I really like my OB so I'm kind of bummed but maybe the other 2 will be ok too.
Still been really sick this week. It is definitely not "morning" sickness since it is the worst for me at night. Morning isn't so bad. Just trying to get through one day at a time until it goes away.
Hope you all are doing well too! I'm starting to miss my fertility clinic since they take such good care of you there. So you're in good hands!

Today is the first break I've had from morning sickness in the last 2 weeks. Hopefully this means it is going away.
Chat - Your appointment will be here soon!
I was on clomid and found the monitoring really helped. That way we knew exactly what was going on. I still ovulated a bit late (CD 18) but we knew how things were progressing the whole time. That way you don't miss ovulation and they can also tell if clomid is stimulating you too much and growing too many follies which could turn into multiples. Wishing you both lots of luck! Hopefully the new year will bring new babies!

I've been doing well. Morning sickness is still a big pain in my rear though. I'd been doing pretty well this week but I ate too much tonight and it all came back up. Yuck! I'm trying to be patient until week 18 where we can finally find out if it is a boy or girl - I really want to buy stuff! 
Hopefully with the holidays coming up things will go a bit faster.
I hope everyone else is doing well!

Hey ladies!
Glad your all doing good!
We went to private hospital last Tuesday for a fertility open evening And it was quite informative. My mum has given us enough money to do two iui's which we will do January. And then of that doesn't work we will have to wait till next December to be put an nhs ivf waiting list so it's nice to finally have a plan.
Mk when are doing ur iui's? X

Hey girls
Sorry you're feeling sick still Rae. Hopefully it will subside as you're entering the second tri. Are you showing yet? Bet you can't wait to buy stuff are you researching prams and cribs too?
Chat, so great your mum is paying for the first two iuis. Also v pleased to hear that you had an informative session at the open evening. Presumably you still need to go for a one to one consultation to decide what type of iui you go for? I found mine very useful indeed. My fs suggested stimulated iui with low dose gonal f to make sure the eggs were nice n ripe! Followed by a trigger shot when its ready. Scans to accompany the cycle. Back to back iui was suggested (and natural bd as well!). After iui progesterone supositories to help the lining. Then we pray! Heheh. How much will it cost you? Ours us about £1500 all in per session.
