    I hope you have success with this program. I know how hard it is to suffer losses when the clock is ticking. Just remember that it is still possible to have a successful pregnancy without assistance whilst waiting for investigations and/or treatment. Sometimes it just happens. It took 3 goes for me last year and even though at my age I only had a 5% chance of a successful pregnancy (age 42) I did succeed.

    Satya - I have read some of your posts before and you have really given me hope. I am going through the WHY? WHY? WHY? stage at the moment and just won't let up until I have a better understanding. I am so happy that you got there in the end. You must be thrilled!

    It was a two hour drive each way for us to see Dr S. For us it was a matter of finding all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. And I've never been in the situation where I've followed the advice of one doctor, it's normal for me to be under the care of two different specialists, my GP and the acupuncture lady I see tries to help me put the whole lot together to get a better idea of what the bigger picture is.

    I hope my situation turns out to be rather different to yours and it's a matter of one simple solution. But when you are juggling a mysterious rheumatoid arthritis condition, severe PCOS, possible immune problems and possible clotting problems... which are all quite likely to be related to each other... it's damned hard work! Acupuncture lady believes there's an immune problem at the root of it all, but my body is freaking out and over-responding to everything. Blood tests may indicate a very slight problem, but my body acts as though there's a major problem.

    I honestly believe we would never have found our way to the other pieces of the jigsaw puzzle without Dr S setting us on the right path. But yes, it is important to realise that everyone is different and a one-size-fits-all solution isn't going to work for everyone. Take the advice of the doctors, do your own research and go with what your gut tells you is the right thing to do.
