    ooh how do you do friends? Or do I need to pay for that? I like the overlay - is that part of the premium membership too?

    Remember PMA PMA PMA:D:D:D:D:D

    I second this. Keep the faith, ladies.

    25% of couples will conceive within 1 month of trying, (lucky b*stards)
    60% within 6 months
    75% within 9 months
    90% within 18 months

    So most stats reckon most couples take between 6-12 months..
    but if it aint happening after a year (or 6 months over age 35), both partners should see the doc to see if there are other things hampering your chances of conception and which may just need a simple remedy.

    I'm not sure about the friends thing - if you can do it on basic membership there should be a bit on the left hand side when you look at my chart that says "add as a friend" or something like that.

    The overlay I think is only for VIP members it is handy to see what your cycles have been like before I find and the average so you can see if you are above or under.

    I think the VIP is worth it - I paid for 90 days as they were doing an offer it needed renewing recently but the later I left it the less it cost to renew. In the end I got 180 days for something like $20 which isn't bad at all.

    i'm off work tomorrow so i'm wondering if it's worth getting a Dr's appointment to talk the problems through, but then i'm sure he'll just say come back when it's been a year.

    Lemon Tree - as someone who is dealing with teh docs I would strongly advise not to head there until you really have tried everything. I went as i wasn't getting positive ov OPK's but it is exhausting and you have to go into detail which can be quite upseting. :o

    Just had Doc phone me with results from second set of bloods and again my progesterone level is low. It should be 20 but is 17 (not sure what that means) anyway we've decided once results from OH swimmers come back we will make an appointment with doc to see what happens next. they mentioned investigations at the hospital which has put the fear of god into me.

    Anyway, we go on holiday 5th May so i'm hoping we can get in docs before we go then start any treatment or whatever once we get back all refreshed and relaxed.

    eek - xxx

    PMA isn't always so easy to find particularly when you just feel like hiding in a corner and crying.

    Low levels of progesterone may be associated with:
    • Decreased function of ovaries

    Dusty, please try not to worry. I know its hard but the first things you find on the internet are always the worse things it could be! Try not to worry about it until you know what you are dealing with. It might be nothing and even if it is then the Docs will fix you I'm sure x
