RhiChiChi the only thing I can say for Monash Clayton is if ur overweight (like I am) dont bother they were really rude to me even after I dropped 11kgs in 2 weeks and I had to fight like anything to get put on clomid. I dont thinks theres a harm in trying if u want to but I will be finding a different FS, if I need it next month, cos I really dont want to go back

Rhichichi,
I was referred to dr Gronow at Melbourne IVF and he's been good. My GP said anyone from melbourne IVF is good. I know it's annoying to have to travel to the CBD, but for a nice doctor, I'm happy to do it. Have you had a saline u/s? I've also had a number of miscarriages in the past year, and I just had a scan last week that showed a polyp in my uterus which can cause miscarriage apparently. It was expensive, but if it means I can get pregnant and stay pregnant, it's worth it I suppose.
got1want1more, I can't believe you were treated so poorly! Clomid is often prescribed for women with Polycystic Ovaries (which I have) and we are often on the heavy side (which I am too!). I hope you find someone who can help.
Hopefully everyone else is going well (and recovering from your surgeries).

Bec I have PCOS too and I eventually got my prescription for the clomid
I am in the outer south east suburbs of Melb and I will be looking for a FS if next month is not successful
I know of 1 called Hayden Najaa or something like that and he is next to Monash Clayton and is supposed to be good. Haven't seen him but I might give him a shot

RiChiChi, glad to hear you practice yoga. Yoga has helped me manage the emotional roller coaster of TTC so much that I decided to do my teacher training and now teach in South Yarra studio. If you have the chance to do yoga in a studio (rather than a gym) and take on it's body / mind / spirit teachings, you may find it offers more than just exercise and stretching. Maybe i should start teaching TTC yoga classes!
Deffers get DH checked out - hasn't he had a test yet?
I had a mini meltdown yesterday - not sure if laps induce crazy hormones? I felt like I had PMT x 100! I'm looking forward to Thursday when I get my full results and the green light to TTC again.

Good luck Mezmoz, hope all goes well at your appointment!
AFM, currently on day 28, of my ridiculously long 35 day cycle. Very sore BB's and horrifically tired and grumpy. Maybe a good sign, but not counting my chickens yet. I have been sure I was UTD before only to be let down when AF arrived.though!
Hope everyone's well,

just a quick note while i go through all the posts, i am in gippsland and i see Dr Mac Talbot he is in Monash IVF which is in Richmond i think but he comes down here also and i think he is wonderful. I am also overweight and he has only mentioned it once and that was basicly that all the Drs say to lose weight but he also said that losing the weight is easier said than done and has not mentioned it again. I have had no negatives about him at all.

now i will leave a proper hello and welcome to the new ladies in the thread, hope you guys find it very helpful
i cant remember who commented on things happening fast for me (sorry) but yeah i am feeling the exact same thing we seen the dr about the actual ivf in december and fingers crossed everything goes to plan i could be pregnant on feb 13th!!!!! pretty exciting, i have started my meds to help thiken my lining and my cousin started the nose spray today and needles tomorrow so all go at this stage
i started taking elivat vitamins last week, i advise anyone that starts taking them to definately take them with food. within 10 minutes of taking it i was throwing upi think i have an aversion to vitamin tabs though in the past they have made me feel queezy but never throw up, since i take them with food no probs at all.
i need to make sure i pop in more i missed out on heaps, take care ladies

Hi ladies
Tammara that's so exciting that things are moving for you with IVF. I have my fingers crossed for you. Feb 13 isn't far away!
Re OPKs, I buy them in bulk from ebay - so much cheaper compared to the chemist.
I got the results from my lap today - everything was 100% in perfect working order. So in a way it's good news, but it still means that it's a mystery as to why we haven't conceived. My FS has said to try for another 3 months on clomid and if no luck, then we'll need to turn to IVF. So I'm really hoping that it happens for us soon. Not sure if I'm ready to do IVF in 3 months, even though I'm so desperate to have a bubba. Guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Porsche, make sure you get your lap pics from your doc - it's not every day you get to see your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes!

Wow I didn't know they could do that lol. That will be very interesting to see. I'm apparently 2nd on the list for Monday. I'm getting really nervous now.
How many cycles of Clomid have you already done? I'm glad you are in the clear. It's a load of your shoulders at least.
