Are you reunited with DH now?

Yep, will be trying TTC the natural way for a change this month:p

I finally have my appointments straightened out. HSG 14th august. Return to FS 4th September, with a TV scan half hour before appointment. I should, if the tests are clear, get clomid at the appointment Maybe I will get that illusive BFP before Christmas....just *maybe*

You most definitely will:cool:

And the noriwotsit has done it's job and AF's finally gone :j

Yay!!!:j:j:j

I was 39 yesterday, so it's not looking good for a repeat.

Happy birthday!
:bdaycake:
39 is still a mere slip of a girl. Start worrying when you hit the 40s (me):cool:

chickpea a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! 39 isn't old (I'm 41 ) You'd be welcome at Thalassa any day - mates rates

DD (she's 8) has chicken pox at the moment, came on yesterday. I haven't had it, so we'll see!! We're due to go to London on Monday for some little sporting event that's on :j:j . Tickets for the dressage on Thursday but I thought we'd go up early to soak up the atmosphere. Staying with friends so very MSE! I hope she's well enough to enjoy it.

glad the meds have meant AF has stopped BZ

Happy (late) Birthday Chickpea!

Place looks lovely onestep.

QQ - good luck for au natural

BZ - Pleased AF has stopped

I'm just the same really. Feel really bloated and that AF is due any moment but i think that can be down to the tablets. Don't have any other symptons or feelings, sure it will be a BFN, i'm not getting my hopes up at all.

Thanks for birthday wishes and I hope you're wrong JuJu. I'm at similar stage, 10dpo still BFN for me...unless all 37 test strips are wrong..!!

Onestep - cottage looks delightful. I have 'liked' it. Although..it's a little close to home...!!

HI all, sorry not been about much, feeling a bit down about it all, just popping on to say i have my fingers crossed for you Juju, i will be looking out for your bfp, but my laptop is going in to be fixed this morning, as it keeps getting red hot (overuse ) so i may not be around much, depending on weather i can persuade my son that i can borrow his occasionally, so i will be looking in when i can, good luck xxx

TeamLowe

Welp, i think it's about time i joined here, if you'll have me!
by way of introduction...
I'm 26 (just), husband will be too soon, been married since April 11. been trying since our miscarriage at the beginning of July 11. I have PCOS, diagnosed around 3 years ago now. regular cycle through metformin (500mgx2 daily) from gynae until miscarriage went haywire after that, causing me great upset as my heart continues to ache for a baby. referred to gynae again and metformin dose increased to x3 daily.
i seem to be ovulating again for the past 2 cycles, albeit a week longer than they used to be. had a HyCoSy which showed tubes were fine. next gynae appointment in September, where i will get the results of blood tests and see if they want me on clomid.
No SA been done as they're just treating my PCOS i think but as he's done the job once before, hopefully he will again he has had two operations down there (undescended tess tickle and hernia) but both well before adolescence.

going to stick with the other thread too but this one will be nice to chat about the more complicated stuff plus some of our best ladies are here! x x

Hi everyone!

Despite giving my HPT collection a pep talk ('stop being so negative!') it's a big fat N for me this month and AF here on CD25 (I was on OI this last month with trigger shot on an early CD12). So that's 5k down the toilet.

I reckon I'll be calling CD1 tomorrow.

And my pg SIL is staying this weekend...

Meh.

"done the job" as in an SA or as in procreated?

sorry to hear that chickpea. I wish there was something magical I could say/do

AFM, I'm hanging on in my blissfully non-AF state (though I think the progesterone's making me tetchy) for the hsg. I'm fairly dreading it, but also been so frustrated by not being able to have it done that I'm kinda relieved too. Although I'm also kinda wary that something else may c0ck up to stop me having it done...like a breakthrough bleed or something. Hopefully that's just paranoia though Have now got my FS appt booked for 4th Sept too

Btw is there a difference between noriwotsit and provera? :huh:

TeamLowe - welcome to this thread. Sounds like metaformin is doing its job. Hope you get on ok at your next appointment.

Onestep - so sorry, sending a big virtual hug to you.

BZ - my one tip for hsg is to have a full bladder as it is easier for them to insert the catheter. I wasn't told this and so emptied bladder first and they did struggle with the catheter and keeping it in place and it was only a couple days later when I had a smaller catheter inserted for mock et at fertility clinic that she told me it is easier with full bladder.

AFM - drugs being delivered tomorrow and I am due to start sniffing next thursday to start my ivf.
