  • Got letter through today from doctors with instructions on how to book appointment at fertility specialist, Just done it online for 31st march:j our official last day of a year trying:cool:

    It says all the tests my doctors have supposed to have done before i attend but shes not arranged for any of them. dont know what to do now, Don't want to wait 5 weeks only to be told i need them all done first :cool: any advice?

    I would think you'd need then doing before. We did. I think it would be better to try to get the simple tests done before than potentially waste your appointment with the specialist with him just telling you to have some tests done.
  • I had a chat with one of the midwives where I work and confessed that we were trying for a little one. She said my age wasn't really a problem, she's just had a lady of 53 :eek: who gave birth (and didn't know she was pregnant :eek: ). She advised me to be as relaxed as possible, time after time she finds ladies who have been trying for ages, nothing happens, give up and then wham, are pregnant !! It was so reassuring talking to her, she's lovely and I would love to have her at my delivery if my ship ever arrives with a little beany onboard :D

    So ladies, we've all got to chill out, no stressing, plenty of BD'ing, lots of laughing and fingers crossed we'll have loads of BFP's :j:j

    day 32 in the ttc house (say it a geordie accent, makes me laugh!)

    :rotfl:love it
    I've been fine since, thanks for asking. How about you? We have BD twice but... (sorry if this is tmi) my belly button where they cut me really hurts is I go on top, and due to an accident last week where my lovely husband fell through the roof he can't stand for very long, and can't kneel or put any sort of pressure on his knee at all. Is proving quite difficult lol

    Hope you find a lovely new house. We moved fairly recently into a (nearly) lovely 4 bed family home. Now we just need some kids to fill it up :)

    aww that does sound like a challenge!! your poor hubby too! hmm you'll have to get right imaginative!! xx

    I'm good too thanks, just have to convince OH of that :)

    Your new home sounds lovely, you'll be able to have triplets! :T

    We saw a cute wee house today. its previous owner was a little old lady so the house is spotless but everything needs redecorated, new kitchen, new bathroom etc. The shell of the house is fab though, with nice big rooms, a dining kitchen, and nice established back garden with an old tree in the far corner. Also its near to a kiddies park, and a short walk (pushing a pram :whistle:) from a conservation part of town with lovely old buildings, pedestrianised part of town etc.


    BB hope everything goes ok for you xx

    GG I would show the letter to your GP and ask for the tests to be done before the appointment date.

    Oh, I really wanted to see this but the link doesn't seem to work?


    OMG!! I'm soooo excited...i've got EWCM today!! I've never had id before and wondered if I new when i had it, but it's definately it! Don't know why i'm so excited,but i just am :D

    Im on CD17 and my CBFM made me test, but is still on low. Is there a certain time i might OV now? Does EWCM always mean you will ov soon?

    I've been having sharp pains on my right side and a very very mild AF feeling as if im about to start though :o

    I'm keeping my fingures crossed that today has worked QQ :)

    OH was feeling a little left out so has now also started temping (not sure what he hopes to see but its making him feel included :rotfl:)

    Which tests are they talking about? Semen Analysis and blood tests? Your DH can do the blood tests, but female blood tests usually needs to be done at the beginning of the cycle (like CD3) and also 7DPO to check ov.

    You should check with your GP.

    I could paste the pic here, but I don't want everyone throwing up at work:D

    You can Google 'ovulation' in images, and it's the 5th one.

    If you are sure it's ewcm and not the remains of BD, then BD!:j
    EWCM before ov usually means imminent ov. EWCM after ov can be anything from pre-AF, pg as well as random surge in estrogen:o
