Anyone using Persona to Conceive this month ?

Thanks, let us know how you get on with your blood tests etc.

I'm pleased that he was positive for you. Helps you to stay positive too. I'm sure it will happen for you.

Not feeling too bad, he went through everything and what next stages would be, even mentioned IVF even though that would be a long way off. However he still seemed positive that i would end up pregnant.

Hopefully that will do the trick for you. Just going to be frustrating to wait i would imagine.

How do you feel about it?

Hi Jag

we just had a chat, gave some information on what will happen next. Going to give me clomid to start with just need to wait for next AF in about 6 ish weeks.

Thanks Jag. Will do, appointment is 3.30 so will prob be back on line at 6 ish.

Hi ladies

Natty just wanted to say Good Luck for tomorrow. Let us know how you get on.

3Cats I'm glad that your DH is coming round a little hopefully it will continue. I hope your dinner went well yesterday.

Hi 3cats, really hope your appointment goes well, does show how much you want another one when you are willing to go through all this.

My appointment is the first fertility clinic one so i should imagine it is just a chart and maybe a scan to see why i do not ovulate and then probably on to clomid or maybe a lap depending on what is found on a scan if i have one.

Sound like you are going to be stressing all day, but i hope you enjoy the evening. x

Hi Jag, Glad your appt went OK. Sorry to hear you have to wait so long for results and appts though. Fingers crossed that you won't need it anyway !

Natty, What is you appt for on Monday? Will you be getting any results or just a followup?

Good luck anyway.

My appt on Tuesday is to discuss the findings of the laparoscopy and to discuss treatment if any needed.

DH is sounding a bit more positive about it. I'm really hoping that the fact that I may have to have 3 ops in order to have another baby convinces him that I am totally committed.
Having spoken to the Gyny's secretary, she said that I probably wouldn't be able to have a vaginal birth and may need to have a repair job done before conceiving. They can put a mesh in to hold everything in place.

Dh said "you haven't talked about number 4 very much lately". I told him that after Tuesday he wouldn't hear the end of it, all being well.

Well I'm having my neighbours around for dinner tonight and I'm very stressed. They are in their 50s and have never had children. Their house is so neat and tidy and clean. I need to blitz the house and cook before 5pm.
I had better get started.

It takes ages doesn't it. I was refered back in April and took this long to get an appointment, hopefully follow ups won't be as long. I think the outpatients clinic is only run on a Monday afternoon and covers a wide area.

Not really thinking about my appointment, as i don't really know what to expect i can't get worried, am going to drink lots of water so they might be able to do an external scan if needed, if not i will just have to have a wee and grin and bare it.

Phoned to book app to take in DH sperm sample. Couldn't get an appointment till 15th September! so it looks like it will be closer to end of Sept or Oct before we get results.

Are you feeling ok about Monday Natty?

Quite right it could happen before then anyway. Septembers not that far away summer seems to fly by.

I've got to make an appointment for the beginning of Sept when all of the results should be back. Got to phone tomorrow to sort out DH app to take in sperm sample.

It is good that things are moving but i keep hoping that i will get a miracle & find myself pg before the tests start. (It happened to a friend of mine last year) You never know.

J

Glad it went okay Jag, at least you are getting somewhere now, do you have another appointment or are they going to contact you.

Will let you know how i get on, good luck for 1st Aug cats

Hi Ladies

I know what you mean about this heat. We have a fan in the bedroom too would be lost without it, but i dread the electric bill as its on all of the time.

Well got on ok prob won't be much help to you Natty as you are ahead of me in the investigations. She did my weight & height. Then just asked some questions ie had i been pg before, how often do we bd, how much do we smoke/drink. (DH thought he would be funny & say that he had never been pg, but she thought he meant that DD wasn't his so quickly had to put her right. She has just given me cd 2-4 & cd 20 blood tests & one to check Rubella. DH has got to do semen test. Also got to fill in chart with my AFs & mark as spotting, normal or heavy with clots. She has got to get in touch with my Breast Care consultant to check on receptor status of my cancer i know it was non oestrogen (sp?) receptive but wasn't sure about the progesterone.
She didn't mention anything about internal. She gave us a booklet with the series of investigations that take place so i suppose it will just be one step at a time.

Good Luck for Mon Natty & let us know how you get on.

Good Luck for Wed 3cats let us know too.

Thanks 3cats.

I have a fan in the bedroom, makes a big difference as long as you get use to the noise.

Jag - All the best for your appointment today.
We'll be thinking of you.

Good luck to Natty too for Monday.

It's too hot for me to sleep and I have growing pains in my legs. I seem to be getting this alot lately, it must be the heat.
I've tried the usual massage and lavender oil but it's just not going. So I've resorted to getting up and coming on here at some silly hour.

Dh glossed a lounge door earlier on so it smells downstairs now. Still it's cooler than upstairs. I might have to buy a fan tomorrow. DH refused to get one today but I can't cope with another night like this.

Best of luck and keep me updated.

3cats.

Thanks 3catstoo, am sure the 1st Aug will come around quickly, take i easy in the meantime. x

Hi all,

CD10 for me. Still bleeding though. I was told that the laparoscopy and hysteroscopy would make me bleed for 10 days and feel period pain. It's been a week now and things are slowing down a bit. I did have AF anyway when op was done so all over in one go at least.
Have to see the Gyny on 1st Aug to discuss further. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will go quickly as I am desperate to find out what my options are.
Dh is not really discussing at the moment. I won't push until I ve been and know where I stand health wise.

Good luck with your appts, do let us know how you get on. Will be thinking of you.

A friend of mine still had an internal when she had AF. I don't think it matters too much. I think when you've got an appointment booked it's difficult to know exactly when AF will come so they must be used to it. Hope it doesn't get in the way for you though.

Best wishes
3cats.

Thanks for that, sounds like you are ovulating so maybe it's just stress, like you say nice to know one way or another.

Best of luck for next week i hope it give you the answers you want, don't forget to post and let me know how it goes.

thanks again.

Hi Natty

Yes same as you starting to feel a bit nervous & not looking forward to being messed with.
In my info it said that you would have an internal unless on your period. Hopefully yours stays away.

I don't mind telling you why i'm going for my app.
5 years ago i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had to have chemotherapy so its possible that i won't be able to have another baby. I have carried on having reg AFs and also get the egg signs most months on cd13. So i take this as a good sign. I was given the go ahead to start ttc in Sept 04. I was happy to just leave it nature, but now its been quite a long time i feel like i just need to know one way or the other.
If its meant to be it will happen.

I think i'm going to be on cd17 on app day so i wonder if an internal will make any diff if i have ov on cd13? I suppose i will soon find out.

How are you doing 3Cats?

Hi Jag

How you feeling? I am starting to get a bit nervous now. You?

Have a horrible feeling my period will arrive whist i am at the appointment or just before. Does it say anything about this your information?

can i ask why you have the appoinment? You have prob said before but i have a memory like a seive somedays. i am going at Gp thinks i do not ovulate which i agree with and have been trying a year now.

Don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

Hi Leawheel yes let us know how you get on. I'm dreading it now its getting closer. Good Luck.
