Congratulations Emma!!!!
Sorry to hear that part mouse. Fingers crossed the higher dose helps.
Hubby works away and I was hoping he'd be home by now but he's late home. Sigh. Another month been and gone.0 -
Bh are expecting dh back soon ish? If so I hope you can bd.
Pretty low after injecting for a month with no follies, I'm hoping next week brings better news.0 -
Did they say that increasing the dose is the only option PM, can't they, like, massively up it to see if it works? Or maybe another drug?
FP, thinking of you *hugs*0 -
Pickle I've asked about another drug but was told there all pretty much the same so no I can't change. I will be pretty close to the max dose the clinic offers anyway and due to my pcos I'm at a greater risk of ohss.its my first of 6 iui cycles so this is the only course of action for now. I'm already dreading it not working again and having to go right back to the beginning.0

Thanks lovely ladies - all the hugs, wishes and chocolate were very much appreciated.
Another BFN yesterday, I knew it would be anyway, and finally, this morning AF has actually turned up (17dp5dt). Spoke to the clinic and we've got a review appointment with the consultant on 11th June. Not sure what to do next - whether to use the frostie first or start another fresh cycle. I'm kind of inclined to give another fresh cycle a go first, it sounds silly but in the back of your mind, with a frostie there's still a plan B, so to speak.
We've also got an appointment with the counsellor next Wednesday, we thought we'd try it as it's included - although I'm not sure about it really, I'm open to the idea of counselling, I just don't know what to start talking about!
pink - great news about getting sniffy drugs! Although I hope you end up not needing themxx
benhope - hello :hello: hope your stay here is short xx
emma - congratulations! Hope the next nine months is happy and uneventfulxx

Hugs to all xx0 -
Can I apologise again for the other day, and please stay on here.
I really need the support of other people right now with everything that is going on and with it all being stuff I can't really discuss with people in real life.
Had my appointment, and the hysteroscopy. Was fine. They have found no obvious problems, only one fibroid which they said wasn't a problem. Now just have to wait until next appointment with the consultant which isn't until July with the final test results from OH.Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.0 -
Gts I hope the time comes round quick for your appt.
Vesper it sounds life you've got a lot going on besides ttc so feel free to vent when you need to we're all here to support each other.0
