    Becc:- I am so the same when Af arrives i'm so dissapointed that it didnt work and also so not looking forward to the chlomid again!
    I'm hoping that me not talking the met the for the past week has not made it impossible for this to be my month im really worried and feel like i have let myself and dh down by not taking them..

    yeah i did, i spoke to the receptionist.. She said to chat to him about it tomorrow when i have my app. She said that the met controls our body not the actual chlomid.So it shouldn't have effected the chlomid working. But its just weather or not my body did what its supposed to without the met. She said that there is a diff kind of drug that does the same thing as the met that fs will prob get me to try apparently the side effects are no where near as bad. She said that the met can have really bad side effects but i think feeling the way i did for 3 1/2 months is not normal.

    Thumbs down Its not fair

    Good luck 31 becc.

    Ok wel my fs app didnlt go real well. He told us that there is no real good us doing any more rounds of chlomid and that our best chance is ivf. We have to register fr ivf and go from there.
    The thing now is the $. I don't want to be waiting months to be saving to do this.
    Its just so not fair, after app i was very emotional, with the " Y me's? What have i done to deserve to b going thru this, were 26 yeas old and being told we cant have a baby on our own, Its so not fair. I ned tgo really try to get my head around it all and except that this is what we have to do. I went to fs expecting to be told just to do another 2 rounds and see how we go, not get told not todo any more and this is our next step.
    Me and Dh just want this so much its not fair for anyone to have to go thru this

    Hi everyone

    i hadnt got an email to say there were new posts, lots going on. AF came for me today but my mind is not on baby making at the moment i was taken to hospital wednesday in extreme pain - same i had when i found out i was preg, after tests and waiting found out i was not preg but have gal stones so spent 3 days in hospital. have to possibly have surgery next week so im not thinking there will be any BFP for me for a month or two.

    Didnt get to go see hubby but he drove 8 hours home to be with me, time like these i think how lucky i am to have him.

    Its a bit late to reply to your metformin dilema but when i was only taking met i fell preg after about 2-3 months taking it so it must do some good. I have had a bit of a look at costing of IVF and at fist it looks like a lot but there is the medicare rebate thing that kicks in after you spend so many dollars then you get 80% off the cost. i found the monach ivf website pretty interesting to read if you have not already.

    Im off to bed my back is killing me, night and good luck ladies

    Frustrated - I know this won't help - but just think you can move on and get it started. As Tammara said - she has looked into IVF as I did and I posted maybe a page or so back the breakdown of costs and what you get back - that my FS has on his website - hope this helps.

    Tammara - my goodness - that is not good. I can see why you aren't thinking of the chlomid this month then. Very lucky you have a supportive DH and he was straight down by your side. Fingers crossed that the surgery goes well.

    As for me - I have babies all around at the moment - my husband's sister is having her 4th, my brother's wife has just announced she is preggies - they were trying for 2 months and my sister is also preggies - she also only trying for a few months. I am very happy for them all but I am still upset (which makes me feel really selfish and trying not to be).
