Hi,

Stacey and Jane - thinking of you with your anniversaries at the mo - Jane, that is v about the florists charging extra - some people have no soul...

Also Stacey, you are so strong willed not to test, I would have pee'd on about 7 sticks by now

Lucy - have you done yours yet?

Hi to Jabberwocky - funny you should mention grapefruit juice - DP picked some up from Tesco this morning and he didn't notice that the seal was already broken and some had been taken out so there was £1.62 down the drain that someone would do that i.e open it then put it back on the shelf...

luco any news honey? fingers crossed x x x

Hi, everone! I'd like to join the lucky thread. Dh and I will officially start ttc this month. I've stocked up on grapefruit juice already

majormoo · 04/02/2006 14:54

Stacey-sorry you are feeling down about your nan. Although anniversaries bring sadness, I think it is also nice that it makes you stop and think about the person you loved and why you loved them. Jane that is shocking that they ripped you off with the cost of funeral flowers.

Stacey it does sound very positive anyway,that your AF is so late. You are very good holding off testing so far! Good luck

And good luck to Lucy too.

Trace I hope you get referred soon-it seems so unfair that it seems to depend on where you live, as to have quickly you are seen.

As for me, I am feeling shattered and quite down really this weekend. Had to go and register at new GP yesterday (we are moving GP after the vaccine blunders with DD) and mentioned I was newly pregnant to the receptionist. She told me there is a long wait to see a midwife so I had to explain my situation i.e. may need a CVS and need to get appointment sorted out at Kings. It isn't very nice having to talk about your termination in front of everyone in the clinic, but at least the receptionist was sympathetic and booked me an appointment with GP for Monday.

I think I will risk joining the antenatal thread for October soon-it is hardly going to change the outcome if I post on there. Hopefully I will have lots of companions from here as well!!

stacey, anniversaries can be so hard. Its 14 years since my mum died tomorrow and it still upsets me. I hate valentines day now as that is when her funeral was and the money grabbing florists charged more for all the funeral flowers.

jane313 · 04/02/2006 08:49

yes its a real lottery. I was refered after one blood test showed soemthing wrong and before second one confirmed it. Then I found out the letter to the hospital had never arrived. They faxed it but it was a 4-5 moths wait so am going private at the same place. I thought I was just be prescribed clomid so it wouldn't be too pricey then consultant ordered tons of expensive tests!

trace2 · 03/02/2006 21:10

well my normal gp wouldnt even do blood test, they said i was to old, am 40 in april, but i saw a locum and he did tests, but when i phoned back he said i had to wait to be refered

Jen1209 · 03/02/2006 21:08

Thats odd, wouldn't have thought that would be a problem. I was referred before any bloods at all?! I would query it with your gp if I were you...

trace2 · 03/02/2006 21:01

have done but hes says i have to wait untill they get both results back ,befor he can refer me, am in yorkshire

Jen1209 · 03/02/2006 20:41

Stacey - sorry to hear you are a bit mixed up at the moment. It's really hard losing a grandparent. My gran is on borrowed time at the moment and when she goes (which I hope won't be for ages) we are all going to be heartbroken. Loads of hugs to you and fingers crossed!

Trace2. My GP suggested that I had my bloods done whilst I was being referred as it is a 17 week wait here (North Essex) so I would advise you ask for them now so the Consultant has something to work on when you see them... I had 2 lots of day 3 and day 21 done - hope this helps and good luck with your GP & referral

trace2 · 03/02/2006 19:58

hi ive posted a few times on here,and am on feb thread, but you ladys seen to know a lot about blood tests,
gp sent me for day 19 blood test and then he wants day3, which i think will be next week, and then repeat once more, and then he said he would refer me, as i am 40 in april, but i would really had liked to been refered while waiting for bloods

staceym11 · 03/02/2006 19:18

oh lucy il keep my fingers crossed for you!

well still not even one sign of anything, except that im starving in the middle of the night, which i was with dd, but im trying to ignor it in case af is just round the corner!!

bit down atm, just realised its a year next monday since my nan died and i cant believe its been so long, i havnt even thought about it for months and now my emotions are all over the place. oh well....she was old and was living on borrowed time anyway but it still hurts, especially with me all wrapped up in my wedding and the possibility of a new bump....oh i dont know mixed emotions really!

Jen1209 · 03/02/2006 17:05

Hi, am on CD19 of what used to be 30day cycle so expecting af next Sat - Monday if my system is now back to normal...

Fingers crossed (and hello to Lucy) for Stacey and Lucy - lets have some more luck on here!

lucy5 · 03/02/2006 08:56

I've come to say hello on the lucky thread! I have a sneaky feeling i might be preggers. I wasnt planning it but now am deperate for it to be true. If it's not i'm going to start ttc. I cant remember when my last period was, which isnt very helpful but I think im late and feel a little bit strange. I hope i'm not talking myself into it.

Piffle · 03/02/2006 08:49

I'm tucked away on my 2 week wait for af...
dull dull dull.
I'm on cd20, cycle is usually 27-31 days in length.

staceym11 · 02/02/2006 21:21

Jen1209 · 02/02/2006 18:31

Jane - lol take it that is spanish for BFP! If I were you I would do what I did (?!) and refuse the next day 21 if you consultant suggests it as it is only prolonging the whole thing and costing you money. Sorry if that sounds a bit bolshy I am known for it...

Had a cuddle with a 3 week old baby today - she was beautiful but it all made me a bit weepy. Fingers crossed soon be all of us!

Right, off to threaten my bunny rabbit with the stew pot if he continues to tip his litter tray over -

jane313 · 02/02/2006 18:11

thats interesting about the hsg jen. I hope I don't have to have one as its £250 ish! I did speak briefly to the another consultant and he thought I would still have to have it.

I had 2 21 day tests and the private consultant wanted to do it again. I tried to do it for free through the gp but she couldn't see why, so if he wants it again I shall have to pay.

2 friends had been on clomid. One got no bad side effects and one just got headaches

Have a lovely holiday. Although you could get a spanish pregnancy test and get a "si, embarazado"

Jen1209 · 02/02/2006 11:09

P.S any news Fairydust? Hope things ok...

Jen1209 · 02/02/2006 11:08

Hi Jane, the Dr wanted to do another Day 21 test but I got a bit bolshy and said that I had already had 2 done which showed I wasn't ovulating so could I please just have the Clomid!

Good luck with the hsg and the other tests, my Dr wanted to do an HSG but I then got pg so she said it wasn't neccessary? Am currently surfing and scaring myself by reading up on the Clomid - some of the side effects look pretty scary!

AF due 11th Feb and we are going to be on hol in Spain (why, why does AF always show up whenever I book a holiday?) so will have to start the 1st course over there as am not waiting til March...

Hope everyone else ok, J x

jane313 · 01/02/2006 11:04

jen. I had something similar to you. I had 2 21 day blood tests in a row which showed I wasn't ovulating (although the consultant said the levels showed there was some ovulatory activity, whatever that means!). I thought I would be put on clomid but he wanted to do an ultrasound and an hsg to see if there were scars in the utereus from my c section first. Then I got pregnant then miscarried. So am back to see consultant in 2 weeks time to see if I still need to do expensive tests! No af yet anyway. Good luck with the clomid (my friend had twins from that- yikes!)
