    Maybe go back to the beginning and make sure you are trying the right steps to pinpoint ovulation, taking temp and charting it is one of the first key stages.

    I also looked at duo fertility but it wouldn't really help with my issues x

    Do you mean takes her temp regular? Do not think so!!

    Although £500 is expensive i still like the fact you get a full refund if nothing happens!!
    I think there were some criteria to get the full refund, but if you could get it, then may be worth it. If it was only the timing problem, then it may work:cool:

    Just spoke to my new clinic for my AMH test results, it has come back at 15.85 which they said was on the low side but not super lower just slightly below normal. I can handle being just a bit below normal at least its not as bad as I thought. My Grandad and Mum both have to have more drugs than a normal person as it takes a lot to work on them perhaps its the same on me and thats why I need the max stim drugs. Swab was all clear too.

    Next step Drs next week to see if I can squeeze some tests out of the NHS.

    They said to me it was just below normal.

    Thanks Toni I have been googling too and found various bits of info. So basically I am on the cusp just above low fertility.

    Had a weird thought in the night, suffering insomnia so instead of counting dots on ceiling I thought about previous Ivf's, My last Ivf the Retrieval left me virtually unable to walk, I suffered alot of pain and discomfort, I literally was walking bandy legged as it hurt so much, By day 5 when they put embryos back I was still in alot of pain but not as bad, I did inform my consultant and she said often it's the case type answer.

    Am I right in thinking if i was in alot of pain my body would be fighting that, and then throwing 2 embryos in the mix would be madness?

    I think I'm trying to justify it all so I have more hope for the 2ww x

    Morning ladies, hope everyone is doing ok, I know someone has an appt today? Need to read back and remember who xx
