    Hi everyone, welcome Julieruth thanks for the info I'II be having a look.Please keep chatting the more the merrier. I'm very excited I seen "Mac" specailist today, he was very efficient he is sending me for dye through my tubes (can't remember the offical name)DH is going for a test not that he knows yet. I am having an ultrasound.Then he is going to get me preg and keep me preg, his words. He believes I have a hormonal imbalance, even though other tests have suggested otherwise, he says you need to test for 5 weeks to get an accurate result but believes that the MC indicate that to be the case. So starting next cycle hormone treatments it is, which I guess may be similar to what you are going through Lissie? DH is going to be horrified when he finds out his are going into a jar yet again this time getting washed and injected. Mac seems very confident that this will work and he is certain I won"t have bleeding in preg because my hormone levels will be right. He said to me he was amazed that I had children, and was'nt at all suprised that I had had problems in preg as well as MC's. Anyway I hope he is right, it won't be long and we will find out. Betty I hope you have some answers as wellJo I'm glad you sound happier it's amazing what a supportive Doc can do for you . Lissie I really hope this is the cycle for you, I hope they are lots of eggies. Anyway can't wait to hear good news from all of you.
    Pam.

    Thanks Julieruth- that's still encouraging reading!!
    Had a bright idea- I'm trying to negotiate my lap to another date so we can still TTC this month- got to ring my DR back on Monday. That way I'm not wasting a precious month of TTC.
    Lissie- so far so good!!
    Blackduckies-HyCosy test is the dye test- I've heard it can help fertility by making the tubes more patent
    Bettyboop- hope the Specialist can find something easy to treat!
    Keep on going and we'll make the 2008 Mothers and Babies report 40-44 numbers swell!

    Up there for thinking Jo, I hope they can change the date for you.The doc did say that after the HyCosy test there is more of a chance of falling pregI have my first hypnotherapy session tomorrow so hopefully I will improve my positive thinking along with my diet. Hows it all going Lissie, how long before collection? Anyway goodluck to everyone talk again in a couple of days.

    Hi Girls
    Everything is fine on my end, however had more nightmares the other night - and now very aware of my ovaries (they are swelling) but apart from that all is good - just taking each day as it comes, what will be will be i guess - egg pick up should be around next weekend will probably know more in a few days. Keep up the happy thoughts girls.
    Talk soon.

    Hey Betty,
    I often ask myself that question - (how much time do we have?) my answer - as long as you want to keep TTC - its an exhausting experience emotionally , so as long as you feel you can handle it then i say keep going. Good luck Betty

    Hi everyone
    Dr rang a few hours ago- he is trying to swap me on the surgery list but it's not looking too positive. I love this Dr - he is so helpful goes out of his way to make things easy for me, Triple Bummer he's going on leave...

    Bettyboop- we don't have that much time but I'll keep ttc as long as I can, the alternative is quitting and giving up a dream!

    Lissie- the ovary swelling happened to me with Clomid and it did nothing for me and now I still feel swollen ovaries, but I tell myself it's a good sign- follies are there!!
    Pam- I had hypnotherapy too- my DH says to keep going back to basics and deep breathe a lot, stay calm... I have a tendency to panic & despair after all the m/c which stuffs my hormone levels and reduces any chance!

    My lovely Gynae just called-He tracked down another patient by trying all different methods- finally phoning her son and calling her mob number- he’s swapped us around!! We can Go For It Tonight as my lap has been moved- what a relief.

    Sorry for your loss, Chelle.

    Wish us luck!

    Morning Girls
    Thats great news Jo - its such a shame you will loose your doctor whom you love so much - hope the next doctor is as nice and you feel comfortable with him/her.
    Well had my ultra sound this morning - not a great deal of follies but enough i guess 5 on the right ovary but a couple are too small, and the left ovary has 8 follies but 3 are far too small so i am hoping i will get at least 4eggies out of this. Fingers crossed - probably another ultrasound on Thursday - will keep you informed. Starting to feel really emotional now - i just burst out crying in the car for no good reason - i really hate not being in control of myself - i feel like an idiot. Even my boss said to me the other night which i thought was a little insensitve " Are these hormones making you into a dumb blonde or something" - wasn't too impressed with that comment, but let it slide as i know my headspace is not great at the moment. Anway hope you are all well and getting on with business so to speak. Not really feeling to confident or perkie today maybe tomorrow will be better.

    Hi girls!!!
    Lissie I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. As for the boss it has to be a man, good on you for not biting back, you have much better self control than me. I'm the kind of person that does'nt engage their brain before their mouth, straight from the heart it gets me in heaps/often. You have every right to be emotional have a good cry when you need it.

    Jo the more I read about you the more you sound like myself. I know the PANIC/DEPRESSION thing well, he is my worst enemy, along with myself. Well done with the appointment change, hopefully this is your month, with everything falling into place it should be. I had my hypnotherapy appointment last night, did'nt seem to work, so back to good old fashioned willpower. I'm always looking for the quick fix, looks as though I'm supposed to do the hard yards though. I'm so angry with myself getting so down and allowing myself to put back on most of the weight that I lost.

    Betty chin up and keep then you have all bases covered. Hopefully you hit O time.

    Hi Chelle, sorry about your MC. I hope you are feeling better soon. My last one was about 7 weeks ago also, I am back in cycle and back on the horse. Hopefully this new Doc has got me sorted out, it sounds hopeful, but I'm scared it's too good to be true. Just protection for myself I think. Keep chatting it's comforting to have other people around who are in a similar age and position.

    Anyway have my HyCosy dye in the tubes tomorrow, I feel a bit nervous.(about the pain factor not the results, but it should be the other way around.) Scared of pain these days.Talk to you all later.Pam.
