We are all jolly well going to smack the rat this month and grow a baby and we'll brook no argument. And probably eat some cake too.

Ooh yes, the tutorial!

Well I've been eating brazil nuts for a few weeks and having cinnamon on my porridge because I like it I read it was good for blood flow to the reproductive organs. Oh and I'm pretty sure I ovulated when I was away on my work thingy (and in fact I thought this month was a write off because I was away from days 10-15) but it must have been the SWI on the day I left that did it (TMI?) and fortunately I ov'd on day 10.

DH has been taking zinc and a multivitamin and both of us have cut down on booze, but who knows if any of this helped.

Who's next?

Oh and re sore boobs, I kept thinking of Imps' law! You were right - for me it was sore boobs = preggo!

Don't forget to hand over your notes Generic

By the way Whimsi AF is Aunt Flo

fantastic news Generic well done!!!!!

And Have hopefully a clear way forward now.

Hurray! Well done well done well done.

Now I'm too excited to do my work.

Well done. Well done.

LOL @ Biscuits being late to the garage because she was waiting for the BFP news!

Oh you guys!

(I can't even be cross with you for keeping us waiting )

Right I have to take the car to the garage now - I hope they understand why we're late

Scrambled how are you today?

Beedle sore boobs are an excellent sign - mine are still sore, which was why I was reasonably confident I was up the duff. And I also have a nice big spot on my chin!

Is it Sweetie who's next to test? Then Beedle?

sorry Congratulations

YAY!!!

Generic that is AMAZING news!!! I am so super super pleased for you!!!

Whoop whoop

And then some more for good measure

I am so happy for you Generic Conratulations lovely xx

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Too busy in the mornings at home to get on the computer so I've had to wait until I got to work. Anyway, I won't keep you all in suspenders... it was a BFP! Whoop whoop! I'm sooo pleased and excited! It was worth waiting until I was properly late as I got a nice, strong line, no squinting required.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been brooking for me - it's wonderful to be part of this group

Have I'm glad things are looking up for you and I hope it all goes smoothly from here on in. At least you have an explanation and plan of action and it's really great to have you back amongst the rat smackers.

Aargh I've got so much work to do, and all I can think of is generic PIAR.

Come on lady, out with it.

Good news from the appt faith. Hopefully you'll both relax into a good bit of baby making in the new year.

Now, who can tell me what AF stands for? I mean, I've worked out what it means, but what does it actually stand for?

That is really good news about your DH Have

Now where o where is our Generic?

Although I can totally unserstand feeling overwhelmed by it all. Aside from anything else you've been waiting for that appt for months - it's been a huge huge thing coming so I'm not surprised it was a lot to take in

At least though fixing one should hopefully fix the other too iyswim? At least it isn't something where fixing DH would decrease ttc chances so there's a nice bit of goal congruence going on with is good news indeed :)

Yes good to know it's treatable regardless. Got a bit overwhelmed in the appointment and just wanted to cry at the whole 'been ttc for 2 years' because there's no overnight magic solution. Ultimately though I just want DH to be better and to be diffed

that sounds really promising Have - it must be a relief to feel like you have a sort of plan of action - and in fact a back up plan and a back up back up plan?

Thanks solars I'm hungover staaarving :d

Yes bics vis they're antidepressants it's gradual withdrawal over a month. Then retest blood levels 6 weeks after that. So off meds by Christmas, blood tests then consultant review in February. It's chicken and egg really, he's had symptoms for a while but it's not clear if the meds caused the high prolactin or if it was there all along. They can treat if it's not the meds iykwim. So either stopping the meds will improve his hormone levels and we'll be sorted or it won't and he'll need medication for the hormones. There's a possibility the mri scan will find a noncancerous tumour causing the problem. That might require surgery, not as bad as it sounds. So regardless we have a plan and things should be resolved by spring.
Where is generic?!

That's great news have you'll be upduffed in no time :o

smegs definitely make a gp appointment. And take some multivits too, the last thing you need is anemia :)

So, Have, am I right in thinking that they need to withdraw your Dh's meds to get him balanced out hormonally again? Have they made a start on it already or have you got to have another appt?
