So sorry Nic that you didn't make it to test day and its a BFN. At least you have some money behind you and you can have another go. I know how you must be feeling, be good to yourself and OH.

Toni, enjoy the detox pads let me know what you think.

Runner, hope you are OK. I know you had reflexology through your ICSI treatment did you find it helped and did you have it when you were stimming too?

hi, i had about 3 treatments up unil the et, my therapist would not do it after the et as she dosent feel its a good idea in very early pregnancy, i found it so relaxing i'm sure it helped, good luck with your treatment

So sorry Nichart.

CD 2 for me as well. AF showed just before I went to bed last night. My last 2 cycles have been 26 days. Sounds a bit too short to me.

Now we are waiting for an appt at the FS to sign all the forms and ask us welfare questions in order for us to start the IUI - who knows - they might have found OH SA results by that point too. The doc said it would most likely be after Easter as Easter and Christmas are congested times.

Hi Ladies,

CCM so sorry AF turned up, how many goes at IUI do you get? keeping my fingers crossed it worked for you first time x x

Chickpea ((hugs)) glad your feeling less gloomy x x

LW & Runner I hope things start happening for you soon glad to hear you have good support around you x x

Thanks for the hugs ladies, I am all cried out and feeling positive today my self referal form has arrived today from Care Nottingham and cheered me up (I sent off for this just incase must have known I would need it) I have got a good feeling just from the forms, the sun is shining and OH wants to go out to look at changing his car to a cheaper one thats also cheaper to run to free up money for treatment, things are looking up already, we still have to go for a blood test Fri though

Hope everyone else is well x x

I want to say 4 but I don't know where I got that number from as I don't remember much the doc said. To be honest the appt was so stressful - we were switched rooms while they looked on various computers and files for missing results that I really can't remember much apart from just wanting to cry. Next time I will take notes :T

It is a lovely day and one to be positive. Ov time will be here in no time at all and I already started on my grapefruit this morning. AND I just got in touch with a reflexologist. Chickpea - your glowing reference persuaded me :T

Onward and upwards. (Until Ov time and then its inwards and outwards:p)

I've done 3 IUIs, and the doctor suggested doing another one without medication, but I'm not going for it. 4 huh? I wonder if I shoud've done another one:think: Especially since the 1st one was done with below the minimum sperm count.

I have a CD14 scan tomorrow, and I have to decide by then, but I think I'll just go au naturale this cycle and hope for IVF next cycle if I'm here, if not, the cycle after next.

DH's count has improved so au naturale may work (as if!):o

The specialist fertility nurse that I was seeing on the NHS has just left to go to Care Nottingham - she was great so if thats any indication of the quality of the staff there then you'll be in good hands!

So do you have the scan anyway even if you don't do IUI? (Sorry may sound like a stupid question). Also I think I am looking forward to the scans as at the moment I can't pinpoint when I Ov (if at all the last couple of months)

Nic, is that a hcg blood test? The times i've had BFN's with AF before test day I haven't gone for mine, just rang them and told them the result, I found it too stressful otherwise. But then again I am a terrible needle phobic so that may have influenced my decision!

Yes, just to check if/when I'll ov so I can time BD (DH can only BD once a week...). I think he wants to talk about what to do next as well.

I've had a chat with DH again today, and we are both agreed on going ahead with ICSI asap:o
