Hi Staple, waiting times are so frustrating! We have had some tests already: all my bloods came back fine but I already know I have endo and DH has low morphology.

Was that an internal scan ellesbelles? My last one was excruciatingly painful due to my endo. I might take some ibuprofen first if that's a possibility.

Good luck everybody x

Hi Staple,
We started ttc in July 2014, then first saw the doctor in March 2015. We then got referred in October so after 15 months, then had our appt with consultant end of December. However, we actually paid to see the consultant privately as it was a 6 month waiting list to see them on NHS! Best money we spent, as it means we are already ahead - whereas we would have only just seen her last week had we waited! £400 mind so I know it is a lot of money - however, we have saved that money back up again since December!
For the lap and dye, she told us 18 weeks - however, I emailed her secretary the other day as it's been 18 weeks pretty much and she said I am on the list for beg of June - so 23 weeks wait in total. (Although still haven't had confirmation through post so might email her again!)
Really, we are only coming up to 2 years now (although we are on cycle 23) which I appreciate is still early days. Just I know everyone here will know the feeling that it feels like forever when it's happening to you!
I never mind you asking anything believe me!!!! I have been so grateful for the support from this thread!!
Totally know the feeling about it being a waiting game. Hang in there
XXXXXXXX

Hi Janey,
Oh yes, it was my good friend Dildocam :shocked:
Have had a couple of those now, squirm!!!!!
Def worth having some pain relief before - and making sure you obsessively go to the loo.
I went to the loo about 10 minutes before the appt, but she was over running by 20 mins so had a little water - and by time got in, chatted through the details and she got "in there"...owwwww!

Happy bank holiday y'all xxx

Hi Ladies. Hope you are all well today?

I've been sneaking around for a few weeks but am feeling confident enough to come clean and actually say that I am now 13 weeks pregnant with bubs number two. As some of you may remember I lost my very beautiful son in October last year at 20 weeks after trying to get pregnant for 3 1/2 years, so we were shocked to find out that I am pregnant again so quickly, a gift from Ben I'm sure.

We had a scan on Friday and all good so far. There is still a long way to go, and next week I start treatment so that hopefully we don't lose this one in the same way too, but we feel so lucky and privileged to just have this chance again.

I will tentatively leave for now (although will be sneaking back to see how all you lovelies are doing) and wish you all the very best in getting your chance to become lovely Mums

Just popping in to say hi. Sad to see some familiar names on here - I graduated 3 years ago & have a 2.5 year old.

Just wanted to wish everyone a successful outcome from their journey. It was amazing support for me. X

Congratulations Tam!! So pleased for you xx

Not a great deal to report, on the reduced dosage of buserelin now that I'm on HRT and back end of next week for another scan. It's amazing how normal this all seems now, the scans don't bother me at all anymore, think I'm just used to them!

How are you doing star? X

star02

chocoholic_chick - ok thank you - it appears the treatment has worked - I will know more in a couple of weeks when go for a viability scan! I can't quite believe we would be that lucky so waiting for scan to be sure!


Good luck with your treatment - I know what you mean re internal scans - just seems like a normal activity now! oh and when in waiting room and nurses all know your name when say Hi walking past! xxx

Hi ladies, hope you are all doing ok?

Tam and Star, massive congratulations :j:j:j So pleased for you both, and wishing you a healthy 9 months xx

Choc, hope everything is going ok with your treatment xx

We (finally!!) had our consultation with the hospital yesterday, and once I have had some up to date blood tests, we have our referral for 2 NHS funded IVF cycles! I'm sooo relieved, as we had been told that funding will be cut by our CCG at some point, but this won't be any time soon, so we have our 2 goes should we need them. We're still trying to not need them if we can.....:D:o

Hugs to anyone out there who needs one xxx
