Oh Midget I'm sorry to hear that, must be so hard to think that you maybe have another year of this. Is there any reason/diagnosis why your periods are irregular? It's just a thought, but you may be able to get a referral to gynae for some help with that if fc aren't going to do anything atm. Have you considered some alternative therapies? I've been having acupuncture which has helped me to start oving again & seems to be regulating my hormones, and there's some other lovely ladies on here who have had some success with it (if my memory serves me right it was maybe cats & clara??) I've heard from friends of friends that reflexology is good too, but I've no personal experience of it. Sorry, I've just realised that I've practically written an essay, it's probably too much to take in right now, but if/when you want to explore some more options, there's a wealth of knowledge, experience & support on here.

Firebird sorry the witch got you.

CD12 & today's opks was much darker, but still not quiet a positive. FX it turns positive over the next few days!!!

Thanks all for your kind words. I find this whole process exhausting.

cats my thyroid came back at 2.3 and they said anything under 2.5 is good so they weren't worried and just think my body is taking a while to regulate again after the pill (even though I came off it Sept last year.)

I think the worst feeling is not really knowing what's wrong

My Sil also recommend acupuncture so I may look into that and see how much it costs. Hubby thinks I'm just too stressed with work and ttc and need to relax. Gahh it seems so much easier especially as since his Sa he has gone telling everyone his balls work. Really not helpful.

firebird sorry the witch got you.

rachy I was and still am like that every month. I even cried one day to my boss about it all. He was actually very sympathetic. Turns out his wife had 6 miscarriage before having there only child who is now at uni so I think he sort of understood what a horrible process this can be. Be kind to yourself I'm sure either will happen soon.

angel hope you get a +ve opk soon.

I've actually decided to invest in the clearblue ov kit for next cycle just incase. Also decided to book a holiday for June to China (as I can't do that with a child and apply for a new job. I can't put my life on hold much longer for what-ifs.

Sorry to hear everyone is struggling. Me too Was trying to play it cool but am actually getting quite upset and felt OH wasn't getting it. We then had a massive row over a couple of days and have had a heart to heart and are going to communicate more about the issue.

OK way TMI now but OH has decided that he might be the reason that we haven't conceived so far as since he put on weight his 'product' has been more of a 'dribble' out than shooting. He still makes enough that's for sure This resulted in me googling like mad and initially thinking this was a completely bizarre idea then subsequently finding some obscure American sites suggesting it may be an indicator of 'unhealthy' sperm. God I really wish google didn't exist sometimes. He also suggested it was us doing trampolining club so not listening to him too much. Bless.

I have pointed out that the reason it might not be happening is we've only been trying since Jan, I have PCOS and we don't DTD enough because he doesn't like talking about timing or DTD when its not 'romantic'. He's agreed to make a bit more of an effort.

Athens am I reading correctly that you have PCOS like me but as you are ovulating they are suggesting you just keep trying, even without further testing? Can I ask what testing you had so far ie just GP or clinic? Only if you are up to explaining. I'm getting to the point I'd rather get on with investigations or treatment before I hit 35 next year, but going private seems v expensive.

I've decided to join Slimming World in the hope to loose the one to two stone I'm overweight just in case that hopes and maybe start temping. Seems ovulation tests are largely pointless.

How are everyone else's OHs?
