Trying For a Baby III

Congratulations to all the BFPs :j:j:j
I have been to see the dr today with regards my 70+ day cycles. As expected, not much help - had some blood taken to check all my hormone levels and then we go from there apparently???? She told me the best advice she had heard from a top fertility expert was to go on holiday, drink wine and have a good time! Mmmm, if only it was that easy.
OH gone out and kids are in bed so think I might have a glass of wine.

I started trying 4 years ago but then had to stop to have a hip replacement, after hip replacement could not try for 6 months something to do with the thing the replacement is made of, started trying again then stopped 6 months later exactly a year later to me having my hip replaced to have both knees replaced, started trying again but then a year later had my right elbow replaced then 4 months later had the other done then started trying again but got refered to fertility specialist and then started on clomid because I was not ovulating,
phew sorry for the very long answer to a simple question:rotfl:

shazrobo

can i be added to the list for testing please, af due 4th nov, but gonna test on the 7th nov.
wouldnt it be lovely if we all got a bfp for xmas

nichart20 youve had an awful time of it I hope its more straight forward from here on in, how long have you had ra for? Im 26 and have had it for 5 years but didnt wait very long after finding out before ttc my daughter as they basically said this will only get worse as the years go on which was obviously very reassuring at the time!!

nichart20

I have had it for 8 years got it just as I turned 20 so around the same age, they told me the same, im feeling positive now I have the help of the fertility specialst I belive it will happen soon, I really hope the next 8 months your pain free for you x
