Hi jurney, how's you?

! I hope you're still getting your few days away with oh cos it'll do you both good. I'll let you know how I get on at the docs. Hi jurney, that sounds promising. It was lucky you started talking to the doc about ttc. I've read online that docs don't really want to know until you've been trying for 2 years but I think that's wrong cos us ladies can find this all very stressful and should be offered tests much earlier than that. It's interesting that she thinks 14/15 months is a long time so hopefully I'll get somewhere with my doc tomorrow. I'm gutted that it hasn't just happened and I'm definately not looking forward to having tests done but needs must. I've put my oh on ginseng vits now cos I read that was beneficial to sperm and I've started taking agnus cactus tablets as that's supposed to be good for lp. The docs can't say we aren't trying! Oh is working longer hours now and he's really tired but bless him he's still putting the work in
Hopefully af won't rear her ugly head and you won't have to have those tests done after all.
let's hope she stays away! Do you think you'll test during your break away? It's strange that af hasn't turned up, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I'll let you know how I get on. Hope you have a lovely time.
every other day or every 2-3 days cos then it gives the 
a chance to replenish. I was pleased to hear that as we've been trying the every other day method but I always worry it's not enough! She decided to refer me straight to the fertility doc at the hospital so I can get all the blood tests etc done there. I'm hoping that the waiting list isn't to long but at least it's got the ball rolling. Oh will have to come along to the appointment aswell to give a sample. Hey jurney, did you have a nice break? Where did you go? I hope the weather was kind to you. Did af turn up or are you going to give me some exciting news?!
I went to the docs and she was really nice. Said that oh and I are doing all the right things. She reckons that it's best to
every 2 to 3 days rather than every other day. Its great news that u are being referred to the fertility doctor like you said you can get the ball rolling now.
Oh jurney I'm sorry to hear that af arrived, what crappy timing that was! I bet it was lovely to just get away from it all. It's nice to have you back!
Are you going to be trying hard again this cycle to see if you can get the
Do you use opt, temp or anything?
again I somehow get some strength from somewhere and do it all over again. I monitor CM & I use OPKs. I don't temp as I get too stressed about it and I am not a very good sleeper, I tend to get up loads during the night so the readings wouldn't be good. at the right time it just feels like another wasted month. It's got me down loads in the past but I'm not sure I could ever switch off from it. I don't temp either, I found it a bit of a nightmare! Don't know if I've already said but I've recently got oh to start taking ginseng cos I read it's good for how's your oh about taking vits and things to help?That's the problem when you ttc for so long, you end up knowing roughly when you're ovulating etc, then of course if you don't
It might be worth him trying the ginseng. It supposedly helps motility and sperm health. I know some people don't really believe in alternative remedies but it might be worth a try as it wont do any harm. I've also read that zinc is good for male fertility. In the daily mail today there was a story about a woman who ttc for 3 years and was about to embark on ivf. A friend suggested she try acupuncture, she did and after 3 half hour treatments she conceived! It's supposed to improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. Don't give up hope yet cos there's other things to try.
Or you could crush it up and hide it in his food! Lol!
