ok so here are the results so far:
FSH 6.5 [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif, Gill Sans]Under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate.[/FONT]
LH 3.2[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif, Gill Sans] A normal LH level is similar to FSH. An LH that is higher than FSH is one indication of PCOS.[/FONT]
Prolactin 287 [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif, Gill Sans]< 24 ng/ml[/FONT] is normal. What units were they?

Not dealing with the thought of the upcoming HSG very well

Mine was completely painless, like a smear test. But I know some has horrible time:(
Good luck, and why not ask how it was on the spot? They sometimes tell you there and then if you ask:)

Hi all,

I just saw this on the BBC website. There may be nothing in it, but then again you never know. I suppose the worst case scenario is that you'll have nice healthy gums!

"Women who want the best chance of having a baby should make sure they floss their teeth regularly, say doctors...."

Just to update you all, everything is still fine with my wife's pregnancy. We're now around 16 weeks!

Good luck Runner with the 2ww. We've got our fingers crossed for you and everyone else on here.

Thanks Espil - I already have gum disease (I blame my Mum as she has terrible gums) but I do floss and have regular check-ups and though my teeth are good and straight my gums are not good. Just another factor to stop me getting pregnant.!

Glad wifey is doing well may it long continue.

thanks epsil, glad to hear your wife is doing well

The Gambling Commission has granted a licence to charity To Hatch, tickets for the controversial game will be sold online at £20 each and a winner selected every month.
The lottery begins on July 30 and those entering could win £25,000 worth of tailor-made fertility treatments at one of the country's top clinics.

I never win anything, so I won't be entering:o

QQ - I read about it yesterday when I saw it was on The Sun's front cover. I might give it a go for a few months.

I don't really know anything about this lottery, but so you know, to hatch are on twitter, she chats a lot with the ttcers there. @To_Hatch is her name. Zita West is there too, @Zita_West.

Been to the clinic today and have decided to have the Natural Killer Cells test done at the Lister Hospital in London in a couple of weeks. Anybody got an idea of how much this will cost? He thinks around £800!!! Hope I win the EuroMillions tonight!

One of my best friends had her baby today, I am so pleased for her but did shed a small tear for myself especially as I found out just after I came out of the clinic. I am the last one now out of my close friends, hopefully it will be my turn next.

good luck with the test, i have no idea how much it will cost, but they do like to take plenty off us, but hopefully it will be worthwhile xx

Good evening!

So I was back at the fertility clinic today - got my injections ready for CD2. Quite a complicated list of things to do - but nothing for a while because it's only CD11 just now!

Anyway - have a lovely weekend one and all. Still on the healthy eating...lost 2 pounds 9 in the meantime - but craving chocolate like crazy..!
