:confetti: YAY FOR FLOWERCHILD RUNNER-UP MOD OF THE YEAR!! :confetti:
Congrats Deb - You do a great job, keep up the good work :wink:
Thanks, Smudge. :grouphug: There's no way I'd be sane without all of you wonderful ladies! I know I've been fairly pro-active in getting myself tested and treated with regards to the PCOS, but I'm sure it's only belly belly that has given me the strength and motivation to do battle with the medical profession!
I think part of the weird way I'm feeling is down to being on the brink of hitting day 90 :rolleyes: I think it says something that as bad as I feel about getting this far, I'm still more scared of the provera than I am of the uncertainty. Even though I know it's probably going to be the first thing the FS has me do...
BW
Morning girls,
BW- Not all FS will get you to do Provera although it has been a very long cycle for you. When I was taking provera I had it to end an 80day cycle and then I started my next. My first FS appointment was around day40 or so into my next cycle and I had a scan done to show that after 40days there was absolutely nothing going on in my ovaries and my FS just started me on Clomid that day and we just started counting the days again. So I guess it depends on your FS. Good luck.
Smudge- Glad to see that you have found something else to take your mind of TTC
ahh Balance that is what we are all looking for lol.
Willow- Glad you are doing good. It would be overwhelming and I am all thinking about you and wishing the best success for you :pray: How long do you use the Synarel for? My break is going really well thanks for asking. Although it puts me around 4 months behind with getting my baby I am really glad that we have decided to do this. I still think about it but not as much and I am feeling really good in myself so I think I will definitely be ready to start again in a few months time and I will feel really good about it :dance:
Deb- Congratulations on being runner up Mod of the year. Well done beautiful :clap:
Hi to all of the other ladies hope all is well :wink:
HI to all you beatiful women in here,
I thought I'd pop in to let you know that I'm back from my chrissy hols.I'm still trying to get things unpacked atm. I'm also on cd 4 and am due to see fs on Thursday.
Ktgirl, I'm sorry that things didn't work out for you last cycle and I wish you all the very best on your ttc break. You never know maybe a little miracle might happen for you during this time.
Chelle I'm sorry to hear about your loss hun. My thoughts are with you.
I will pop back in tomorrow to catch up on more personals. I hope you are all having a good weekend.
HI all - looks like everyone is strating to come back from their little breaks and it's getting busier in here every day!
kt - glad that you're feeling better about taking your break - it's a huge decision to make, and obviously it's working for you so far
smudge - glad you're not feeling guilty about missing your scan - i'm sure it won't be a big drama in the long run!
to all you other ladies, hope you're having a wonderful weekend- would do more personals, but have just gotten home from a shopping expedition and need to go and unpack (yes, smudge, the pergola is almost finished - went to the hardware store today to buy the laserlite roofing - which they didn't have in - and came out having bought everything to completely paint and rewire my house - never taking my brother shopping again! it's awesome that it's costing nothing for labor, but getting all the reno's done RIGHT NOW is really full on!)
Does anybody know where Mooshie is?
We were both going through our cycles at the exact same time. I was hoping that her not being around was a good sign-maybe she's really busy being pregnant:lol: Well i can hope. Just hope she's ok:pray:
Pauline
Mooshie is still posting in the 6+ months thread, pollyanna.
I'm not completely awake yet... and I've got a very busy week ahead of me... the FS appointment is this week! It makes it seem so much closer than yesterday.
I'll pop back later when I'm completely awake.
BW
Wahoo BW, time has flown, good luck with your appointment.
Me, have to go in 2morw morning 8am for my D&C. Im doing ok.I think I will feel alot better when it is all over. Have a wedding to go to on the weekend, and it out of town!! gr8 timing huh. Hopefully the bleeding will be to a minimum and well hey I guess I can drink!
hi to everyone else, yes the thread is filling back up again. Hope your all doing ok.
Sorry to have benn MIA but have been away and busy.
Hope you all had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Chelle - soooo sorry to read of your loss. I am thinking of you.
Willow, Pollyanna, BW, Smudge, and all you other lovely ladies. How are you all? I hope life is being kind and you are being kind to yourselves.
Well, I've just gone through my 3rd Clomid cycle. 1oomg this time and although it did wonders for the progesterone (73.51 on CD22) it didn't get me pregnant or lengthen my LP (only 11 days). I was thinking of giving it a rest this cycle when I started spotting yesterday but then I was given the good prog level. My progesterone first cycle on 50mg was 53, 2nd cycle at 50mg was 42 (CD24) and then this cycle 100mg 73. 100mg certainly seems to be getting me ovulating well and truely but don't know why LP still short. I take the clomid day 2-6 and get a positive OPK on CD15 so probably ovulate then or CD16. When everything used to work perfectly normally I always used to ovulate CD17-18. Have always fallen pregnant when it has been like this. I would just feel happier if I was doing this. If you are supposed to ovulate day 14 when taking clomid day 2-6 would it make sense that I would ovulate later if I took it day 3-5 etc? I would feel better if my ovulation time went back to how it was.
I am going on I know. What do you ladies think? I still may take a break this month (from the clomid) and see what my prog levels are and the LP. Have to decide soon as I need to buy the clomid as I am on CD1 today.
Anyway, sorry to come back and bore you all to tears. Wish I could have had some happy news for you all.
I have missed you. Oh, can you answer a question? What is IUI and what does it intail. I was asked and I guessed that it stood for Inter-uterine insemintation but only guessed that by the initials. Does any one know? Sorry for being thick. The friend that asked thought i would know as she says I'm pretty smart!! Who told her that?!!!
Love to you all and big hugs as well.
Debbie
Hi ladies.
Mako- Sorry to hear that AF showed up again. I am sure your BFP is just around the corner. I have been thinking about you and will keep praying for that result we all want to see.
Debbie- Sorry to hear that you didn't get a PG out of your last cycle of clomid. Hope you sort out hat you are going to do this month. IUI is just as you thought it was Intra Uterine Insemination. When I did one of these cycles I did injections but I can't see why you wouldn't be able to do it with Clomid too. When I was ready to O I had a shot of Pregnyl to bring on O then DH had to take in his sample for sperm washing the next morning. That basically just separates the sperm from the semen so what they put back is like concentrated. You just have to keep it warm (I was told to put it down my top lol) and then go to your FS and they inject it using a very fine catheter (sp?) into your uteris. It is not really painful just like getting a pap smear really. It really just puts it that little bit closer so the little boys don't have to swim that far :lol:
HTH
I hope eveyone else is having a good day.
Hi everyone. Have been having problems with email connection at work...aaarrggh. Will let me access, and then states 'has to shut down', usually when getting onto this site. Really annoying. Hopefully, have just caught up on what's been happening.
Chelle-just wanted to say hope all goes as well as it can tomorrow. I totally understand about wanting it to be over. Hugs
BW-when is the app't? Hope you can get some sleep and rest soon. I'm getting butterflies for our app't Jan 30th which is ages away, but trying not to think about it. Good Luck
Hi to everyone else-hope all is well!
Me-i'm in the TWW following mega BD fest. Now D17.Last USS D14 showed one follie 18mm (was 16mm D120, squashing the 'egg-timer shaped follie' to make it 16mm(!) which Had been 20mm on D12-so more than liekly a scrambled egg!!!!! There were 2 smaller ones LHS, 15mm and 14mm I think, which they said probably wouldn't do anything either-so looked like the 18mm was the only possible runnerafter all that!!! Anyway, check progesterone level Thursday to see whether it was a decent eggy and actually released this cycle.
This was my last Clomid until see FS, so next cycle will be 'off drugs'!! which quite looking forward to in a way-no monitoring and the nervousness/anxiety which goes along with waiting to see blood result, or scan result, iYKWIM! Mad, I know!!
BabyDust to everyone
Milly
Milly, the appointment is this Thursday! It always seemed like it was ages away... and then it became 2007 and suddenly the appointment was this year and it felt so much closer. Now it's this week!!!. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, but I have a fairly busy week to keep me busy. TV technician is coming tomorrow so hopefully we get our big widescreen TV back in working order, on Wednesday I see my GP for some prescriptions which are about to run out - it will be good to chat with him before the appointment, too! And then... Thursday! Followed rapidly by acupuncture and then seeing DH's specialist next Tuesday. My holidays are being eaten by appointments!
:hello: to everyone, sorry for no personals.
BW
Hi Lovelies,
BW-thanks for letting me know where mooshie is;thought i'd lost her.Wishing you the best of luck for your specialist on thursday. I can totally relate to appointments eating up all your time. I hope your telly is fixed.
Chelle:Your poor chook. Goodluck with the D&C;bloody awful things that they are. I hope you are well enough to go to that wedding on the weekend. Wishing you luck and cyber hugs.
Deb;Its always great to hear how you are going. I could never be bored. A problem shared they reckon is a problem halved. Yer right! But i listen to your entries avidly because I'm in the same boat.
Kate:Thankyou for the info on iui. Its great to hear the exact interpritation of it all in laymans terms.I really hope it all works and its a sticker inner.
Milly;I hope the tww isnt driving you 2 batty and you don't have 2 much longer 2 wait. Fingers crossed that this was THE cycle.
Hi 2 all the spunky chicks i may have missed...
As for me i have every single reason to be peeed off. I had my specialist appointment today. He now tells me its is no longer suspected that i have PCOS;but that i definately DO HAVE IT. I was soooo cranky. But he explained to me why and how he has come to the conclusion. Also there is a reason that the opk's did't detect ovulation. Because even on the clomid I DIDNT... What is wrong with my body. Why the hell is it being so damn stubborn. He said to skip the clomid this cycle(as because of him being on holidays-its too late for me too start now),then start on the 5th day of my next cycle,end of jan,early Feb. Then get the bloods done on day 24 and see him day 28. From everything i've read on here he seems to do things a little different to the normal... I was wondering does anyone know of anyone who has taken the clomid later on in the cycle and gotten a BFP.. I'm sure I've read of at least one girl who did. Does it really matter when you take it if your cycles are all over the place;because does'nt it force you to ovulate on day number X??? Any body feel free to provide their valuable insight or moodlifting vibes... i need all the help i can get....
Pauline
Polyanna, I have a friend at church who took clomid starting on day 3, I think. She ovulated reasonably late each cycle, I can't remember, but it was certainly later than day 14! Her (our!) FS wasn't bothered by it as it was making her ovulate. She was successful and her little boy was born in March last year. As long as you ovulate, it doesn't particularly matter when. :hug: I know it's hard! I mean, what kind of freak gets to day 90 on a clomid cycle?! :rolleyes:
BW
Hi girls, just dropping in to see how everyone is going.
Debbie - so glad to hear from you. Have been wondering about you and missed you. Sorry you haven't had any good news so far. Will continue to keep my fingers crossed for you.
Chelle - good luck for tomorrow. I hope it's as tolerable as it can be. It is better once it's all over. Well not better, but easier to cope with I felt. I hope your recovery is quick. I will be thinking of you.
Pollyanna - the cd's you take clomid depends on your dr. Mine both liked cd 2-6, but it can be taken 3-7, 5-9 etc. Like BW said, it doesn't really matter as long as you ovulate.
As for me, Thursday will be a big day for me too. Have my appt to pick my up my injections and learn how to jab myself. Bit nervous, but looking forward to starting ( :rolleyes: crazy, I know) because I think the fear of the unknown will be worse than the reality. I don't have much of an issue with needles but have never had to give myself one!
Good luck with the injections, Willow! That's the one bit of the whole process that really freaks me out! Hopefully we will both come back with good news from our appointments on Thursday.
BW
hi all
just been catching up on what's been happening the past 24 hours so thought i'd drop a quick note.
chelle - good luck for tomorrow. i've personally not had to go through a D&C, so can't honestly say that i know what you're going through. I just hope you're feeling a little better and up to spending some time with your friends at their wedding. take care of yourself and make sure you give yourself time to heal both physically and emotionally before you push yourself to do things again - if you're ready to be around friends, go for it - and i hope you have a great time if you do!
Deb - i've been taking clomid days 5-9 and was being checked for progesterone levels day 21 - so i guess all doctors check for different things (wouldn't it be easier if they all did the same! would be much easier to complare treatment wouldn't it?)
pollyanna - i guess your situation has a negative and positive side to it - knowing that you have PCOS means that your doc will no longer be guessing at treatment - just a shame it's not a diagnosis that gives you a definite treatment plan!! and your body isn't the only abnormal one that doesn't respond to clomid - i've had cycles at 50, 100 and 150mg - and none of them have caused me to ovulate - i'm now on day forty something of the latest cycled (150) - and no ovulationat all - hanging out for the 17th - blood tests and start synarel same day (all going well) - then my own little TWW to see the specialist again to start on injections ready for IUI.
BW - i can sympathise with your frustration at your "non" cycle on clomid - i've not had a "normal" cycle ever in my life - including on clomid! i've had to have AF triggered every cycle for the past 12 months - and after anywhere from 2 to 7 months. hopefully your appt this week will put you on the right track. for some reason i was thinking it was wednesday - maybe i'm trying to skip days so my next appointment comes more quickly!
Willow - good luck on Thursday - i've heard the injections aren't too bad (well, for people like us that aren't scared of needles anyway!) - hopefully it's the start of your last cycle ttc and you'll be telling us all about a BFP in the very near future!
well, must away - have been painting (yet again) and going to just relax a bit tonight. i'm loving renovating the house (hubby wants it done asap so that it's all finished in case we get a BFP - can't possibly have me working if i'm UTD!!) and seeing such massive changes, but i'm seriously starting to have nightmares about paint pots and brushes!
Pollyanna, I was on clomid for 3 cycles and took it from day 5 to day 9. I am currently 10 weeks pg although going by my LMP, I should be 11 weeks. Both sonogrpaher and FS agree that I O'd later than day 14. I tend to agree with this. I think it was more like CD 16 or 17 as I was doing OPKs (see FF chart link in my signature).
Hi
I thought I'd let you all know that I too have an appointment on Thursday with my fs. What a busy time of year for us all. I hope everyone gets the much needed answers at their appointments.
I'm currently on cd 6 and started my very last round of clomid last night. When I saw my fs last time she told me that our next option would be IUI. Does anyone here know of any other options I should consider b4 IUI????
Chelle I hope all went well for you today hun. I know you are going through a tough time at the moment but remember that we are all here for you.
I will come back tomorrow to do more personals. I hope you are all having a good day :D
sounds like you've been given the same advice as me mako - if clomid not working, next step is IUI - hopefully it will be successful for both of us!
Chelle, hope everything went ok for you today
to everyone else, a big hi and hope you're having a great day!
Hey Briggs - maybe dreaming of that BLUE paint is a sign.. :biggrin:
you have no idea how much i hope that's the case!
am taking a break at the moment - should be outside paintinag (again) - but i've gone on strike - i have a day off tomorrow, and i can guarantee i'm going to lose the whole lot with a paint brush in my hand!
i guess it's one way to distract myself from all the TTC stress!
Chelle I hope you are at home recovering well.
Am thinking of you :hugs:
Today's GP appointment went really well! :)
Although, it is becoming increasingly obvious that I know more about my conditions and the treatments for them than my GP does! :eek: But he's so wonderful and caring and happily writes prescriptions (for things my specialists have already given me) and referrals for me when I tell him I need them. He's also wonderful at calming me down when I'm feeling stressed about something. I realised I've been psyching myself up all week for an argument with the FS about the varicocele treatment, my GP reminded me that the FS isn't the one who will be doing the repair and I can simply walk in and say "we've decided to get the repair done anyway" and no drama! So, suddenly feeling a lot better about the appointment tomorrow. And being slightly stressed out, my blood pressure was only 120 over 80, so I'm really happy with that! No blood test results :frown: , so no sneak previews of what's to come tomorrow.
Briggsy's girl - I do hope you are enjoying your painting today and that you have nice weather for it. Don't forget the sunscreen!
Mako - good luck with your appointment tomorrow! I hope there's enough good news out there for us all to share around. Same for you, Willow, I hope the injections don't hurt too much!
Chelle, I think I've saved enough emoticons for this post to give you a special :hug: I hope you are hanging in there.
A big hello to everyone else!
BW
Hi
Butterfly Warrior I'm so pleased that your appointment went well today with your gp. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. I hope you get the answers you need.
Brigssy's Girl I wish you all the very best for the IUI this month. I think if thats the path dh and I need to go down, we'll have to wait a little while as I'm not working atm and funds are stretched.
Willow I wish you all the very best for the IVF this month. I hope its not too long before your announcing a bfp.
Ktgirl How are you sweet woman??? I hope your doing ok.
Chelle I hope your feeling a little bit better today. Just remeber to take care of yourself and allow time to heal hun:hug:
Hi to everyone else.
Hi all!!
BW-glad your GP app't went well. Good luck for tomorrow! Keep calm!
Mako-good luck with your FS too.
Pollyanna-really just repeating about Clomid, but I know of friends who took it from D5 and have conceived! My Gynae spec locally advised D5-10, then my FS started me from D2. Don't think it matters much when u start. Fingers crossed. What dose will u be taking?
Willow-good luck with the injections!
Chelle-hope you're at home recovering ok following the d+c. Hope it went ok. Sending you hugs
Me, will get my progesterone level checked tomorrow to see whether the follie popped or scrambled!! Was doing ok until noticed EWCM yesterday and today (D19 today)-what the...?? Never had this before at this time in my cycle-anybody else noticed this with Clomid? Checked OPK today and it was negative. (had OPK +ve, and blood LH +ve D13-so thought if I did ovulate, it was last week!!) Arrggh, who knows!! DH will be in for surprise xtra bd tonite just in case!!!!Hormones!!!!!
Hi to everyone else,
Milly
Mako - good luck with your FS appointment - i know it's difficult working out finances around all of this stuff - it's supposed to be easy and inexpensive to get yourself UTD - the expense is supposed to happen AFTER the baby is born (and for the rest of it's life!) - hopefully you won't need the IUI, but if you do, i hope it's a quick process for you - we've been pretty realistic in both the time and money we're prepared to actively commit to our ttc effort - time is probably more of an issue for us at the moment as DH is a fair bit older than me, but then his age isn't that much of a factor! thankfully, even though DH is only working locally at the moment as a casual truck driver, if we need an injection of funds, he's still mates with a few of his old bosses - and they'll give him a few weeks casual long distance work (he can earn up to four times what he's on at th moment, but would prefer to be home every night - he'll only do it again if we need he extra funds for additional treatment) - they're all calling him every couple of weeks to see if he's bored driving around here yet, so it won't take much to get the extra work - we'd just have to make sure that the time he's away is the time we take a TTC break - would hate to find i've got a nice big follie about to pop and realise he's three states away!
Milly - hope you can find out what's going on with your body (although, by the sounds of it your DH might think it's christmas again already and not want you to go investigating!)
BW - so glad you had a good appointment today - hope tomorrows one is just as helpful for you.
as for me - painting kinda went by the wayside - forgot i had a dentist appt this morning, and what started as a general check up ended up as a filling - not happy! i have had a bit of a queasy stomach since FS increased metformin dose last month, and i just felt horrible the whole time so decided to take it easy this afternoon - DH has just called to say he'll be home soon - so the painting will be starting again very soon (i'm so glad painting like this realisitically only has to happen every ten years or so!)
to everyone else, hope you're having a great day (or at least a tolerable day - hope you're feeling ok Chelle).
Hi all
Thankyou ALL for lovely kind wishes. Makes me feel so loved!DH has been fantastic of course, as my darling kids. So cute.missed my little3yr old......BUT
Im back! the wait was 2 days,(I was starved for 24hours at a time, and only got a small meal on the 24th hour cos surgery was all busy)....so I got let out late lst night. D&C went as well as to be expected. Jst glad to be home. Doctors seemed really horrified I have had a total of 6 miscarriages and the last 4 being in under 2 years!!!! SO...they are sending me to a clinic..yah I think. Finally someone has taken me seriously.They took away things for testing(FIRST TIME) and did heaps and heaps of bloods.I will have answers in 6-8 weeks. So just will take it easy and wait till I get AF which is always bang on 28-29 days after miscarriage. Feel kinda glad this part is over, was taking its toll.
Im sort of looking forward to the wedding, just hard cos knowone will know. If I feel up to it I will share, cos I think it will help. There will just be way to many friends there not to I think.
OOH bw good luck for ... now Im confused would that have been yesterday or today. The time thing confuses me. Its 6.42am thurday here!everyone still in bed, I couldnt sleep tum too soreish anyway goodsuper luck with your FS..you tell him girl:)
Milly b...Goodluck with progesterone levels... we always waiting for something arnt we!
Briggsys girl, wow you been busy painting. I def believe we need other things to be thinking about other that TTC! but its so hard isnt it...I struggle.Enjoy the little break...:)
Mako, goodluck with your FS appointment too!
Willow, may IVF do the trick quickly for you! I really pray for a successful BFP.
To everyone else I cant go back any further, we WILL ALL get big fat POSITIVES in 2007!!!! BB just wont be ablt to keep up.
Take care everyone
Good to see you back, Chelle. I think you are coping amazingly well - you are an incredibly strong woman to have gone through all of that. :hug: I hope the testing gives you some answers.
In NZ, you're only a couple of hours ahead of us. So the appointment is today (in around 3 hours, in fact!). I'm feeling quite calm about it... I seem to have finally been successful in letting go of a lot of my worries and fears, and while I'm pretty sure there will be tears at the appointment, I'm not feeling like I'm in full on control freak mode.
I find the time zone thing practically impossible to work out when dealing with people in the US - it's just too hard!
BW
Chelle it's good to see you back. I do hope the tummy pain eases quickly for you.
Well I've been to see specialist and she has recommended that dh and I head to IUI. I don't know how I feel about this atm and I'm fairly certain that dh won't be too happy about going down this track. I can't get him to talk about it or even listen to what I want to say about it. I tried last night again and he told me not to talk to him about this as he wanted to watch tv instead:crying: . I think I'm at the point that I'll give anything a go as I so desperately want to make dh a daddy and to hold a little bub of our own in my arms. I really hope that I can convince him that all will be ok if we do have IUI.
Sorry for the ramble but I needed to get this off my chest.
I hope everyone elses appointments have all gone ok.
Chelle-glad your back. Hope tummy settles soon. Hugs
Mako-Hope ur ok. Hopefully DH will talk soon-Men definately think about these things diferently to us. I know what u mean about 'doing anything'-sort of feeling the same myself at the mo.Ramble as much as u like! Hugs too
Me-my ramble is progesterone mega low. 7.4. Never had it this low before. Unelievable-before clomid had one cycle at 55, and one at 74, then since clomid a 10 and a 7. So, the follies on the uss, and the LH surge meant nothing at all.Could understand if I hadn't had any follies on USS, or any signs ov O. Just doesn't make sense...apart from the obvious, that my egg quality is poor. AF anyday now with progesterone so low.
App't with FS on 30th. No more clomid this cycle. Feel we're heading to something more invasive, with or without my own eggs.
Sorry for no more personals, not feeling too great now
Milly
I'm afraid I have even more tales of woe to add. We'll be doing IVF+ICSI. All our results were bad... my GTT results even surprised the FS, they were that far off! I start the pill today, and just feel... :crying: :eek: :confused:
BW
BW - So sorry to hear that your results didnt come back too good. Big hugs coming your way...
hi ladies,
just wanted to pop by and see how things r going.
BW - i hope things will get better for you, i will be sending out lots of baby dust!!!!!!!!
i finally have my little boy. Jayden was born via c/s on the 28th of dec weighing
10pds 1oz, 55 cm long, it has been a long journey to get here and i am so glad i had this forum to help me when it was tough going. (there are pics in his website). i pray that you all will be holding your little ones soon.
take care everyone
treena
Hey BW, I dont know If Im any stronger than any of you woman, but wat do you do... Im so sorry to hear that your appointment turned out not so great. I hope the new plan will work smooth as a babys bum!!!!and It will get you closer to your great BFP!!!
Millyb, Im so sorry to hear your progesterone was low, big hugs to you at this time.
Mako, men have funny ways of expressing themselves, he probably needs longer to think about it. Big hugs coming your way..
Hi to walking art and everyone else of course.
BW - so sorry you're results weren't what you were hoping - i guess the one positive is that you now have a plan of attack - you're another step closer to your BFP!
Chelle, so glad to hear things are going ok for you - at least they're actively looking to find out WHY this is happening now.
Mako - sorry you have to head down the IUI path - i'm sure your DH is just trying to process what it all means and will come around eventually (mine did, but it took a while!!)
I've been swing madly from coping and ok, to really not coping and crying all afternoon... I'm an absolute mess! I'm sure it's all just taking time to process and sink in, though. Funny how before the appointment I kinda expected this, and was trying to prepare myself for it. I guess it just goes to show - you just can't prepare yourself for this sort of news!
Mako, there's an excellent book which helps with the male side of this - swimming upstream. There's a thread about it in the general conception discussion forum. I have read it and found it to be great. I think I'll have to give it to DH tonight. Basically it explains the male aspect of infertility and assisted conception. It tells them how we feel, and tells us how they feel. If your DH won't talk, maybe the book will help?
Thanks so much for the hugs and support, it really is helping me get through this. :grouphug:
BW
Hi girls. I thought I should pop in to see how everyone is doing.
BW- Sorry to hear that things didn't work out the way you wanted them too. Just hang in there because you are one step closer to your BFP. At least you can end this dredfully long cycle and get something happening.
Mako- Thanks for asking after me. I am doing really well. Sorry to hear that your appointment also didn't go so well. Good luck with the IUI. I am sure your DH will be fine with it all but he probably needs a little time to absorb all of this information as well. Please don't be too scared about IUI it is really very easy and you are a strong woman so you will be fine.
BG- Love the new Av very hot!!!
Sorry I can't do more personals girls but I am running a bit late today. Will come back again soon. Love to all xoxox
Actually, that's the funny part of it, ktgirl - I don't end the cycle! They did a blood test to figure out whether I could just start the pill or not, and apparently I can. I guess I continue this way (with no AF) until we next see the FS which is on the 8th of February. I'm really going to have to change my sig... and maybe get rid of that silly ticker! And just when I'd got it all looking pretty and all! :rolleyes:

BW - I have just got back and I wanted to send you a BIG :hug: For a look on the positive side ..... and you may not see it this way, you have a plan. A good plan. A plan that can bring you success and the fulfilment of a dream. It may not be the way you originally wanted it (but hey, I understand that :rolleyes:) but if it brings you waht you want then it will be worth it. You know I am here if you want me - anytime.
