Sorry I haven't been about for a while......been very busy,
Lady Tess, sorry to hear the 3 days late wasn't better news. It's so hard the way we get our hopes up then they are shattered. I know the feeling.
Gigi, I reckon the plan to treat yourself as a whole and try for health instead of concentrating on egg production is a very healthy mental choice. I wish I could get to the place where I can decide that. You are so brave looking after other peoples kids, actually so are you Tess.
I haven't held another child since Ellen died. She is the last baby I had in my arms.
Powelly, we too have been told by the new FS that probably timing has been the only problem.......hopefully she's right. God luck to you and I'm glad test results are good.
Chez, how is everything going? Hopefully you are feeling pg and all is wonderful.
Tashybabe, I did tracking last month (with old FS) and had to do heaps and heaps of blood tests......about every 2nd day. We live out of town so this meant a 45 min drive to a clinic and then I didn't speak to the FS after the results but instead spoke to the nurses! Then had to wait for ages if I had questions. I live out of mobile range and often work out of mobile range so contact is complicated. The blood tests did show some interesting info and we are tracking more clearly this month (new FS) less blood tests and taking temp. Doing tracking is really good tho, my accupuncturist uses the temps to help guide her treatment too. This month I am taking progesterone after ov to try and boost things along...... In case you didn't know the blood tests for tracking are bulk billed so there is not and expense other than time. Perhaps you could suggest this instead of trying to rely on ov tests?
AFM as said above tracking this month and have just ov'ed .....in new FS's words take hubby home and wear him out.......odd but it seems a hard thing to do to ask for it until your hubby says "please stop" rarely do they say "please stop"! hehehehe ....... now I am taking progesterone and have another blood test on Wed to see how that is going. I have been amazed that my FS calls me after blood tests and talks about the next plan....so so much better than the old one!
I am basically in TWW. Have had my parents here for a week so heaps got done 'round the farm......my 72 yr old dad misses his farm since he's retired and always goes nuts when he's here. It's so wet here that I can practically watch grass grow........perhaps this feeling of a wonderful spring is a good omen.
