    Ohhh before i abandon net for another week! I wanted to say Nic on my scan my consultant said i will get a brown bleed , nothing to worry about just a minor old blood, he could see a piece of placenta seperate from babies, he said it's less than 5% so he has no concerns at all about it, he said if it was 25% then he would be concerned x

    Much luck and love to al, Runner so much luck for ur FET, my embryos were 2 years old when they were put in!!!

    I'm still on double progesterone shots and 4 oestrogen pills dailyu, the shots have left me so bruised that i can't sit down without discomfort xx only 40 odd to go lol! xx

    :j Hi peeps really feel the need to add myself to this thread so I'll introduce myself......
    I'm 28 and have been TTC since end of may last year. My fiance is 35 and has a 3 year old daughter (who is just gorgeous).
    When I was 16 my first ever bf was, unbeknown to me, sleeping around behind my back. When I had just turned 17 I started having bad symptoms which were not diagnosed for 18 months.....it was chlamydia :eek:. Due to the length of time until diagnosis I was told by my GP that my tubes would be hideously scarred and conception would be nigh on impossible. I was young and didn't really care all that much as children weren't on my to do list. Then I met my man and it all changed. I started on the path of discovery in february last year, mainly because I was having pain issues, and so far have had 2 uss, a laporascopic procedure to remove adhesions caused by the disease and a dye test to see if my tubes were patent.
    :j My tubes were patent but have since had to endure many blood tests and more uss as my MC is all over the place and I have no idea if I'm ov'ing. My GP is really dragging his heels on this and I'm getting myself upset every time someone announces a pregnancy (my 2 best friends have recently announced their pregnancies). Any idea on how to get dr to pick his feet up?

    Congratulations Toniq! Lovely news, that gives me hope:)

    Sasha - hello :) I'd personally make an appointment with another doctor and ask if things can be moved on any faster. Its funny sometimes how speedy one doctor can be compared to another. I know how you feel about the friends having babies issue, I've just found out my best friend is pregnant and although it's lovely news for her, I'm struggling to actually feel happy about it. Everyone on here is really supportive though as they know what you are going through.

    Double congrats Toniq - I had a feeling it'd be twins, how exciting! I hope all goes well for the rest of your pregnancy.

    Acupuncture is pricey, but what the hell, I always figure it's worth a shot. I believe it does improve success rates. Whether that's due to the placebo effect or some other anomaly who knows, but I'll take placebo effect. I pay £35 per hour for that and the reflexology.

    Maybe I'll ask to get FSH tested again - can't hurt to ask.

    Still no sign of my egg. I'm taking a night off DTD anyway...blasted cystitis!

    Congrats to Toniq on twins, thats great news and gives me some hope that one day it may be my turn! I think my last question got lost in the midst of all your posts, is it worth trying soy tablets if I ovulate? Also has anyone noticed after clomid that ovulation pains are a lot worse? Not sure if its just me but my 'symptoms' every month are intensified

    Sorry for all the questions, Im still finding my feet in this ttc business!

    Toni, I'm so happy for you - thats wonderful news - so glad you have heartbeats as well. WOW, WOW, WOW XX

    Cake4brains, I dont know the answer for you, but I would be careful about taking things without medical help - I have done this and have at times made things worse not better. If you are ovulating ok, you may alter your cycle. Its a long time since I took clomid. I am sure you will get some other responces soon. Good luck with it all!
