Morning all,
Super excited today, not even my rubbish job can keep me down!
On CD23 but couldn't resist doing a test last night as i've never had boob pain like i've got and have been nausious (sp?) for about a week...got a very very faint positive line! I thought it was my eyes and got hubby to take a look and he said yep theres something there! Trying not to get my hopes up just in case its wrong, and we're going to wait until sunday, which is when AF is due, to test again.

Fingers crossed for me and baby dust/glue for everyone else!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy :j :j :j Fingers crossed for you on Sunday!!!! And fingers crossed for the rest of us that we'll be following soon!!!

Ancasta - have you heard of the Cambridge diet?? I suffer from PCOS to and 18 months ago I was my biggest ever weight. I read about Cambridge and decided to give it a try - and lost 4 stone VERY quickly (in about 3 months) :j Better than that I've managed to keep the weight off. Before I lost the weight I'd be lucky to to have 2 periods a year - now they're almost normal

It's not for everyone and it's a tough diet mentally - 3 shakes a day with 3 litres of water and NOTHING else. But it works and might be worth you looking into perhaps?? Good luck tonight - thu is my WW night to but I haven't been going recently, going to start back next week as I'm still off work till Monday so I'm out of routine at the moment. It's bloody hard losing weight I'm still trying, it just seems like I lose some and then put it back on (maybe it's time for me to go back to Cambridge )

I cant get away with things like that, they have a terrible habit of making me throw up. I looked in to the lighter life thing but for what it was gonna cost i didnt think it was worth it for me ending up throwing up.

Thank you for thinking of me though, and good luck with your friend the reflexologist :beer:

I joined Tesco diets ion the beginning of the year and lost a 1.5 stone quickly. However, due to circumstances I stopped following it and now have got 1/2 stone back (holiday food...). But getting back to grips with it again!!!
It was good that I could change the meals in the menu if I didn't like ingredients, got shopping lists, etc. Thinking of joining again!

Cheers Shelly. This will be our 20th month, although we only went to the docs 2 months ago. I kind of thought I'd give it another 2-3 months and if nothing then I'll go back. I'm also horribly aware that age 35 is looming next year, and can't help the doom and gloom of that age being 'the beginning of the end' as far as most of the literature would have us believe . I know it's not as long as some, and I'm trying to get used to the idea that I could be in for the long haul - it'd just be useful to have some idea about what might happen next (if anything).

I'd definately go back and ask to be referred to a fertility specialist. He/she will be the one who gets further tests done.
If they send you for a tubal xray you can PM me if you want to and I'll explain the procedure and let you know things you might need to take with you for afterwards. The first time I had it done I was horribly under prepared

Best wishes

Is a tubal xray similar to a lap & dye? where they squirt the dye in to you and monitor it via xray/scan?

If it is, could you PM me the low down on it as i believe that its on the cards for me and i like to go in to these things with as much info as possible

Thanks

That's it! I couldn't think of the term "lap & dye" so called it a tubal xray
I'll do a PM now for you.

I had a Hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography
before they gave me a lap and dye - another option at this stage is a Hysterosalpingogram:

Oops, made a blunder.

I thought lap & dye was what I had. Apparently not, what I had was a Hysterosalpingogram.

Congratulations xredwebx! Brilliant news!

Thanks guys for the info on lap and dye and the hystero-whatsits investigations. I think I'll be patient for a couple of months more and will go back and ask to get referred. I'd really like to think that nature will take its course, but being patient is really hard! x
