    Hi everyone,

    Lee - your AF sounds awful - you poor thing. Thanks for the hugs - sending them right back at you.

    Sharon - that's sounding good - afterall I faint line is still a line - here's hoping it gets darker next time you test.

    Heybacko - well done on Oing.



    Just back from the gp and I'm a mess. She's referred me on to the reproductive biology unit at Monash at Nottinghill. Apart from the fact that we've been trying for a year & because of my age I don't really understand why. I can barely stop crying.

    I was so ill prepared for getting my AF this time that I don't even have tampons or proper pads in the house - not one single one. How stupid is that. I'm making do with some pretty serious liners until I can stop crying enough to get to the shops.

    She told me that I had Od but not very well. My progesterone level was at 32 and the notes on the results say that a result of 20 means that there is normal corpus luteum function so I just don't understand why 32 is not high enough. I only realised this after I left the surgery otherwise I would have asked.

    She also said my estrogen level is too high. It was 543 & it's noted that it is high but I don't get why it is considered high when the normal range is up to 1134 in the luteal phase. I just don't get it.

    The thought of going to a FS again is really scary. I hated it last time and I was in a much better state of mind then than I am now.

    My DF is dragging me out of the house in the hope of cheering me up now, I don't think it's going to work.
