Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

Oh meep I'm so sorry :-( gosh there is some difficult stuff going on for us all at the moment isn't there. I'm crossing my fingers so hard that we get some good news soon.

Angel I also think it helped me pretty quickly! Out of interest what made her so sure you're not ovulating...?

Clara good luck with the appt, hope it goes well.

Cats I told her results of day 21 bloods (20.6) & she said straight up that I hadn't oved, even if it wasn't done on exactly the right day - NHS says above 30 confirms ov, but she said progestetone would need to be above 60 to be able to sustain pg ( I've heard from someone undergoing ifv that her clinic looks for progesterone above 60). So that along with rather light AF & no +ve opks. Interestingly she didn't recommend temping. Also, I was on mini-pill (due to migraines) & apparently it's quite common for the body to have difficulty producing progestetone on its own after using it. I'd been concerned for a while that I'm not oving, but when I rang for my results, GP surgery said they were "fine" :mad:

Oooh interesting! Did you just ask docs to tell you your actual figures then? I might do that too as I've just taken their word for it.....!!

In my case it wouldn't be an ov issue but could of course be something else.

Yeah I tend to ask for all the levels, thank goodness I did ask too!

Well I'm back from the hospital I have PCOS

Doctor said before scan that she was certain that my non existent periods were due to post pill amenorrhea and was a good sign that bloods showed I ovulated in May (progesterone 26.2?) and could be a sign of regulatity coming back. Said she would give me a scan since I'd taken the time to go to appointment!

Then I had the scan... Small clusters measuring upto 7mm in both overies. Gave me the option to start Clomid.

It's so much to take it. I didn't even really know what u was going for now I have PCOS I took the note for Clomid and she said I could decide in my own time if I wanted to start it.

So glad hubby was there! Burst into tears when we came out and haven't stopped since. Was just the shock I think

Oh my gosh Clara I'm so sorry!! BUT at least this is a diagnosis and something they can give you to help it - hopefully now if you do take that route things will get so much better for you!

You must be feeling all over the place right now though so I'm sending tons of love to you and OH xx

Thanks so much cats. Yes my head is not with it at all

I was very much hoping for AF or BFP next week but now I'm unsure if I will get either.

I've to start Clomid on day CD2 so if I decide to go with it I'll need to get myself to docs and get prescription in case AF does arrive soon.

I can see this weekend being spent on google trying to get my head around all of it xx

I'm sorry Clara it must be so hard to get your head around, but as cats said, at least it's a diagnosis. Fx that from here on in things start looking up for you xxx

Ladies I'm so sorry to hear that a few of you have received bad news regarding your fertility. Sending you huge hugs and strength to get through this tough time for you. xx

I think as I've already got my BFP, that it would be a better idea if someone were able to take over the daily lists, as I don't want to rub salt into the wound, or let you down on days I can't manage to get on here. If there are any volunteers, I'd be really grateful, as I don't want to leave you completely in the lurch. Unfortunately without me editing it each time, there is no way to alter the first page with the users etc, as it has been posted under my username - I guess the only way around that would be to quote and edit it as each BFP comes up and have it running through the thread instead of updated on the first page. Alternatively someone could set up a new thread, though as this one isn't that old, people may feel that they want to stick to this for fear of losing recent stories and advice as it's easier to scroll back. This is such a supportive thread, and many issues have been covered in such a short period of time, it would be a shame for new people not to be able to read about the support and kindness that has been shown on here.

I will post the list tonight, so that it is still easy to find the most recent numbers, especially for those who are close to testing, or about to move into the baby dancing zone etc.

Thank you to everyone who has been a support to me in my personal journey on here, and for everyone on here for making it such a lovely thread to belong to.

Much love and baby dust to you all,

sexymouse xx
