    Hi Ladies

    Hey Bec, glad to hear you're on the mend and that it all went well. Hopefully you can start trying again soon. Totally know what you mean about friends telling you they're pregnant. Unfortuatly that little green monster seems to creap up on all of us sometimes. And yes I HATE the 'just relax' or 'it'll happen when you're not trying', how the heck do you not try for something you want?

    Tammara, that is fantastic news, good luck getting the little ones planted (if you know what I mean), everything is crossed for you

    Porche, thanks so much for the pre seed info, I am in the process of buying some as we speak, figure it cant hurt.

    AFM, I am just waitin to get my results to see if I O without Clomid this month. Either way I am back onto 100mg of Clomid next month for 2 months to hopefully get UTD before we have to start on IVF.

    Thanks so everyone for advise with other options before trying IVF. The problem with blocked tubes though is there really isn't any other options. Yes I still could concieve naturally but the fact that we have been TTC for 3 years (yesterday was our 3 year wedding anniversary) with no luck, my gyno can see how upset I am getting with it and feels that 6 more months on Clomid might just send me over the edge. So whilst I would prefer not to be on IVF I would also prefer not to be having such trouble TTC. So fingers crossed we by some miracle get UTD in the next 2 months.

    Bec - Glad to hear you are doing well and the polyp has been removed sucessfully!

    Keli - Praying for a BFP for you. I didn't realise it had been three years that you have been ttc. If you do go down the IVF path, will be thinking of you.

    Tammara - Awesome news! Sending sticky vibes for Monday

    All those comments that people think are helpful are so not! My grandmother told me the other day to stop worrying about having a baby, when the baby wants to come it will come.... *rolls eyes*

    Going for a blood test today to check that I am still Oing on Clomid. I think I am since I had those awful pains on CD 14.... DH is booked in for his sperm to be tested on the 23rd Feb - earliest appt he could get. Hopefully we are pg by then, but might send him off to get tested anyway

    Am reading a couple of books about 'natural conception'. Am thinking of trying Homeopathy - anyone tried it? (I have done Naturopathy & Chinese Medicine)

    Hi Ladies

    Wow - I duck out of this thread for a few days and so much has happened! Good to read up on how everyone is travelling. Best wishes to you all.

    20094me - the rash I have on my belly button is starting to go down now that I'm putting hydrocortisone cream on it. On the advice of my FS I got the cream from the chemist. It's taking a while to go down and is still very itchy and red, but it's getting better. Try some of this cream twice a day for a few days and see if that makes a difference. It's so weird though - the rash came up a few days after the adhesive was removed.

    AFM I'm in the 2WW and shuold no by Monday if AF is coming. Argh the wait is torture!

    Hi girls,
    Keli, it's a fair call to go IVF if you've had a good go with everything else. Hopefully it's that darn tube that's caused the probs, and you'll be UTD with some help before you know it! 3 years is a long wait. We TTC for 2 years for DS (now 3) and we're coming up for 2 years for #2. I'm just glad your FS is on the ball with recognising your emotions. My FS probably wouldn't recognise me if I was 10ft tall and wearing pink PJ's, let alone be aware of my feelings
    Tammara: So exciting. GL for Monday!
    Rhi: hope the BT went well and you o'd when you thought. I've done homeopathy, and too be honest, I found it very expensive and found it didn't do much for me. I've found acupuncture to be more worth while in my case. Chinese medicine and homeopathy are similar, they both have suppliments that are supposed to kickstart your body to fix itself. (they are a bit different, becasue they do it in different ways, but I can't remember exactly) That's only my opinion though, and maybe iut was just the person I was seeing?
    Mez: I'm glad the resh is improving, hopefully the cream will work and you'll be unitchy very soon! GL on Monday!

    AFM: Still absolutely exhausted from the General Anaesthetic on Wednesday! Did anyone else find that? All good though, bleeding stopped completely (TMI sorry!) I wasn't expecting that! Still sore though. Am still waiting to find out from FS whether we can TTC this month or not. Don't want to do any more damage now I'm all fixed up! Might give hima call tomorrow if he doesn't ring me.

    Anywho, Have a great weekend girls!

    Bec
