Hopefully 7th time lucky ginvzt!

Day 45 now and still no sign of AF - I so wish I knew what was going on! I may even get to the point of doing another test, even though I know it will be a bfn! There is always the immaculate conception I suppose.

Jujugaboo, awww chin up, time will fly, keep busy xxx

We bd as much as could, not that we have much chance naturally but u gotta try!!!
Have made an appt to see Consultant and get prepared for a July frozen, because we are in Tunisia mid July, im hoping my cycle doesn't get mucked up, I'm trying to use my frozen over 2/3 attempts this year so i can then consider another fresh, though obv hope i don't need to think that far ahead xxxxx

Thanks for your tips lilo I might just do a reccy so at least I will know where I am going. Perhaps I should use this time to make sure I am in the best emotional and physical state and I have already started drinking my gallons on water like they tell you.

Do another test lilo, you never know one might have been lurking behind.

Good luck to all.

Can I ask the ladies on here some advice please?

We came off bcp at end of April 2009 and started off NTNP. Got a bfp at the end of September 2009 but our pregnancy was diagnosed as a MMC at our first scan. I opted for an ERPC and then waited until I’d had my first AF before we started trying again.

We seriously started trying properly 1st January this year but as yet no bfp.

I have tried charting & temping, opks and softcups since we started trying again and my charts show that I am ovulating. This month I have ditched everything and gone back to a more natural approach trying to bd every other day and I’ve started using a CBFM this month. I thought maybe by taking away some of the TTC aids like my thermometer it might help me relax a bit.

I’m just wondering how long I should wait till I go and voice my concerns with my doctor? I am almost 36 and OH is going to be 32 soon.

Hi Fairyshazza I would go to Dr if I was you there is no harm in asking questions even if they say come back in a couple of months. Remember to relax as much as you can - I know how hard that is.

I have just read on another site that David Cameron wants to take the NHS funding away - so there goes all the IVF/ICSI treatments!! Wasn't voting for him anyway!!

Thanks for your reply jujugaboo

I wasn't going to vote for him either but if I was that would certainly have changed my mind!

My partner suggested I make an appointment if we aren't successful this cycle as it will be 6 months on June 1st since I had my ERPC and they usually say if you are over 35 and have been ttc for 6 months or more then you can speak with the doctor.

I suppose I just don't want to jump the gun too much as I know there are so many people who have been trying longer than us and in the grand scheme of things we haven't been trying that long.

Can I ask for those that have gone to the doctor and have been temping - have you taken print outs of your charts with you when you have gone to see them? I have tried to make sure I've covered most aspects so that if/when I do go I can say we have tried this, this and this to prove we have been putting in the effort already

Could you link to the site please? I tried googling but only came up with quite old reports on the subject.

I found it on the fertility friends website I was browsing through various sections today and someone posted it on there. I will see if I can find it.

Thanks. If you can't find it on the site, is the link still in your 'history'?
