Woohoo, congratulations ChrissiK! Another Dr Dawson graduate!!
Hello to everyone else :wave:
I really must remember to check in more often
I got a BFN today, not really surprising. Ah well, I'm not out the game til AF rears her ugly head...

 

[tallybee]

No you are certainly not out sapphire! You have proved it can happen once so u must have a higher than average chance of it happening again xx

 

[tallybee]

Well OH called the Dr's surgery yesterday to ask if his results were there and if so could he have a phone appointment (he's at work in Edinburgh and we live/have our GP halfway to Glasgow so he'd need to take like an entire half-day off to go in)
The hospital lab said the GP would have the results within a week, but possibly by Wednesday. So.

Their appointments system is really poo, it works like this: the lines open at 8AM and it's basically a free-for-all, you're bloody lucky if you even get through. If you do, you'll be offered an appt for that day. If you're not so lucky you'll spend an hour trying to get through to be told there are no appointments left, better luck next time. So at OH's work the redial is really quick and he got through, he said the receptionist was really rude saying 'oh we don't have time for this in the mornings you know' (when he asked her to see if the results were there rather than just booking an appt)

That's the whole point you daft mare, if the results are there he needs an appointment.... if they're not, he doesn't!!

THEN she told him not to bother asking again until next week! WTF??? I swear they send GP receptionists on Dragon courses to make sure they fob off as many ppl as possible to deflect them from the actual Docs! The silly man would've left it until next week too, but I'm not having that! If he doesn't call again today, I will!

Thats very rude of them, i would make a complaint!! when DH rang for his results they put him through to the dr and she gave him the results over the phone, and then the next day he went down and picked the written results up, could they not do that for you?? xx

 

[tallybee]

They will give him a phone consultation which basically means the doctor will ring him at whatever time. Last time, he just asked them to do a printout and told them I was to collect it as his work means it's hard for him to go in without taking time off. He's going to call them later in the hope that the results will be in by then, apparently phone appts can be booked the day before... better than the shambolic mess of the 8AM scramble

xx

 

[littlelou6]

WOW she was very rude tally, good luck for your results hun. My OH is going to make an app for his next SA should be begining of aug.

I just wanted to say hi to all the newbies i haven't posted on here much recently after our bad results. CONGRATS to those who have had their BFP's.

I hope you are all well x x x

 

[chattyB]

Just a thought - do you pay privately for your SA? Surely that should make a difference! If you do, I'd put in a complaint, you never know, you may get a discount.

My GP works the same way with the 8am scramble, either that or they'll offer you an "non emergency appointment" for three weeks time. It might be worth phoning later on, after lunchtime? My GP will only give results over the phone between 2pm and 3pm.

Good luck! Have my fingers crossed for you that the results are worth the wait.

Thanks ladies
Nope, we don't pay privately hon, the ordinary GP had to refer him first time, the lab's at the main NHS hospital in Edinburgh. We were quoted somewhere between £100 and £150 for a S.A. privately We really can't do that!

He's been told now to call back tomorrow after 12 and he's told me he will be asking for them to just release the printed results so we can collect them rather than pissing about trying to speak to a doctor who isn't even a fertility specialist (the first time, we went in together and the GP was very nice but couldn't tell us anything we didn't already know re. the results )

 

[cjones82]

Wishing you loads of luck Tallybee xx

Hi Lou, I replied to your pm, wrote a very long reply and submitted I hope you have received it, can you let me know if you haven't.... xxxxxxx

[sapphire1]

Urgh Tallybee, your doctors sounds pants. I didn't know you could get SA through the NHS, I might enquire about it. DH only had one done, but we haven't bothered since as private SA is so expensive. Good luck for your results! x x

 

[cjones82]

Hi ladies,
I have a quick question for you. last month i started to take vitamin b6, AF is due tomorrow but as of yet not feeling like she is on her way, I have been taking 50mg of b6 everyday, could that make AF late?? havent been feeling like i usually do after ovulation this month, did hpt yesterday can anyone help? dont want to get hopes up if AF doesnt show tomorrow if the vitamin b6 could be the cause.

Any news on SA results Tallybee?? xxx

 

[chattyB]

B6 apparently lengthens the luteal phase - either by making you Ov a few days earlier or pushing back AF. I have 10 days between Ov and AF (Ov on cd14 of a 24 day cycle) so have been thinking of giving B6 a go to extend the LP by a few days.

OR

It could be your BFP! Do you have any other symptoms? I have everything crossed for you!

 

[cjones82]

No nothing at all usually after ovulation i get really sore bbs but nothing at all this month, i did have some pink discharge (sorry tmi) last friday morning but i did have that last month aswell but had it for 3 days last month it was just once this time. im not holding out much hope but trying to stay positive.

 

[tallybee]

Just a quick update as I need to go back out girls. Bloody annoyed - after all that crap they have only done the volume and 'several spermatozoa present'



WTF... he went to the same place and they've given us a completely useless SA this time. FFS

 

[chattyB]

Oh I'm so sorry that's crap! What the hell is the point in "several present"? Jeez, you could've done that yourself with a toys r us microscope!

This TTC after VR is stressful enough without numpties like that assessing sperm samples

 

[sapphire1]

Tallybee. Sorry they've been so useless At least there are some sperm present, it only takes one... Are you able to request a more in depth SA?

FX for you cjones, it could be a good sign x x

 

[wannabeprego]

@Tally, sorry the results werent very detailed, i know that is frustrating after waiting to get them for so long... I am glad to hear that he has some healthy though, so that is one positive.
