Will say a little prayer for you as well honey.

I have my CD19 (for me) re test on Monday then CD3 around 26th once AF arrives. Waiting for DH's referral for SA now. There was a 3 month waiting list before but we must have got lucky and got a cancellation because we only had to wait 5 weeks. Not so sure we'll be as lucky a second time.

That's good that you don't have a 3 month wait x x

Ah well, been to the docs today on the ongoing never ending saga of why I am still not back to health. After a 40 mins consultation (oops) i have been referred to the rheumatologist to explore fibromyalgia, but have an interim 'diagnosis' of chronic fatigue syndrome. It is quite poss fibro, but until I see them, they cannot confirm. This is obviously something which will not affect my ttc which is pleasing - and I may be able to get to grips with it a bit better now that I know which way we are heading - and obviously see if there is any 'self help' which may be of use.

Hope you are getting on okay jibs not long now! lilo

Hello ladies, thought I would delurk 'to keep my hand in' as it were.

Still awaiting my 1st appointment at fertility clinic on 8th sept so not much to report. Just finished our first cycle on CBFM which showed I ov at CD22/23. Not good news as not a long LP phase.
i thought AF was here on tues but she only lasted a few hours, but is back with a vengence today. So classing today as CD1

At least I as oving though which is a relief. Going to start on soya whatsits this time as recommended by Q.

So, I'm thinking 160mg (4 tabs) CD 2,3,4 and 200mg (5tabs) CD5, 6

is that about right?

Fingers crossed for you Jibs.

Congrats Hamish...xx

Had it been me, I'd have liked to have tried that dosage, but I don't know.
You don't want to start with a lower dose would you?
120mg/night for 5 days like I did?

I don't want it to cause problems, since I'm no doc...

Do check you are not pg before you start this though, it may harm the baby;)

I've got positive on IC OPKs!!!:j
The line is darker than the control line!

Yes, I do know people with PCOS have high LH hormones all the time and OPKs are useless, but I've been using opks since CD8, and the line has always been barely there (today is CD14).

Yes, I know one can get positive on OPKs but don't necessarily ovulate.

Yes, I also know people ovulate all the time and don't get pg, but it's better than not ov'ing:D

My doctor said I'll ov on CD14, but looks like it is probably tomorrow or the day after:shocked:

Hi Crickett. Just thought I'd add, I've been doing Alizonne, which I thoroughly recommend for fast weight loss. I've now got to a BMI of 25.7 - I had been obese for years. It's very expensive, but am doing it so I can have another baby.

Umm.... dare I ask how much it is? Still debating trying for no 2 but my BMI is too high for IVF again. I'm 41 so don't have lots of time to lose weight; last time it took 15 months to lose 3 stone.

Brilliant quaver - have a good weekend, wont you!

Trigger shot done last night (I think I must have had an easy one - some people complain about it being a bit one, but mine was .5ml and a nice fine needle) and EC tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out if I want lively or mellow music playing in my ears throughout. And I'm crapping it.
