Star - that is good news, I'm keeping everything crossed for you xx


PM - Hugs to you and well done for complaining. I think the way you've been (and are being) treated is just terrible. Fingers crossed the complaint does some good xx


Vodka - huge hugs to you, the waiting is just awful, we'll all be positive for you though so please don't worry. xx


pickle - don't worry about ranting, this is just the right place for it! xx


Hugs to you Isla - me and DH had lots of *those* talks, I kept reminding myself it was the drugs talking and not me. xx


love - that's good about your follies. Hopefully there'll be some good eggs in there. I only had 5 eggs from 11 follies but as all the lovely ladies on here kept telling me, it's quality not quantity xx

Afternoon everyone, just flying on to say I have my progesterone day 21 bloods.....May last year was 12.....this time 126. So clomid is making me ovulate. Thats good news but still not had a sniff of a TLP

Part_Mouse

Little me thats great news its making you ov, its horrid though when you know it works but still no bfp.

Frozen thanks, I hope things finally move along for me, have to say im sick of complaining.

littleme82

Thanks Part.

I have just been trawling the internet to find out what progesterone levels should be and nothing answers my questions.

Can anyone send me a link to find this answer?

Part_Mouse

LM i was told anything above 50 shows ov.

isla_red

Thanks again tea and thank you fp!

Great news love and lm :T

In an effort to be more generally positive and show OH that I am not being entirely negative, I trotted to Holland & Barrett and bought us some of the His n hers pregnacare vitamin packs. I'm hoping it will help as I'm a bit bamboozled by what I should and shouldn't be doing. I've taken folic acid by itself previously but as OH's swimmers could do with a kick start I figured getting the joint pack was the most subtle way of suggesting them.

The things we do eh?!
