    Hi everyone!

    Just popping in to say 'hello' - not stopping long.

    It looks like there have been some interesting conversations on acupuncture - I'm starting next week (just before I hope to have my eggies collected - I still picture a tiny farmer going in there with an egg basket! ).

    Bel - hope you're feeling much better today - I felt the same about the baby in the paper today. I know I don't know what happened, but I can't help thinking why did she get the chance to have one and I haven't - it just doesn't make sense. It's a real up and down journey this one we are on.

    Well - now I'm all set for the first cycle my naughty monthly visitor is a couple of days overdue (and no I'm not pregnant - I did hope!) it's just being naughty. I'd psyched myself up for the first jab tonight or tomorrow night - but maybe Thursday??

    Ahh the joys!

    See you all later!

    Evening Lovely Ladies

    TL- The travelling DH's...very hard isn't it. Just had my DH home for 2 days now he's away again for the next 5. You do learn to cope but the missing them never stops.

    JBM- yeah I would never want to miss being pg...too true. I'll be so excited and can't wait to show off a bump to the world!

    Kate- Don't you just love that AF witch. When you don't want her she always shows up and then other times you are begging her to show. I went one cycle for over 60 days without AF and was desperate for her to turn up. I went to an acupunture guru for the first time on day 60+ who I see all the time now, and told him what was happening. No joke within 45 mins of my 1st appointment AF had arrived. Still amazes me now when I recall it. I was converted after that 1st appointment. I hope she shows up soon for you..I know how you feel just wanting to get everything started.

    I am feeling a bit better today. Each day I know I am healing a little more. Emotionally starting to feel better too. We can't all have good days all the time..I know that.

    Night All

    Hugs Bel

    HI All,
    I am new to this thread so I'll give you all the rundown. Hubby & I tried the natural way for about 6 months but i never got a period at all in that time so seen doc who did what seems like thousands of tests, who then sent me to OB/GYN cause she couldnt find anything. OB/GYN put me on Provera for five days to induce period, then clomid 50mg (days 3-7) and then progesterone test at day 21. He was expecting a to see 25-30 on the results... Mine was 2.9. I didnt Ovulate at all.
    Next round, same deal but 100mg of Clomid. Progesterone result 2.7....
    So this round Im on 100mg clomid plus a day 12 injection of pregnol with a scan. Am on day 4 now so not long till the injection which Im a bit worried about.
    Anyway, If anyone has advise for me that would be great, or even to see if anyone else has been through somthing similar. Its hard when you are new to this and dont really know if its going to work!
