Thanks peanut what guidelines should I be quoting?! I was just going to go along, probably end up crying and hope for the best!

thunder is your friend taking any kind of supplements at all? A friend of a friend wasn't having a period for ages and her fc recommended flaxseed oil. After a few months she started getting her periods regularly again. Maybe she could try that? For the past few cycles I've just started taking epo up until ovulation and then flaxseed oil from ovulation until my period to try and regulate my cycle a bit.

Hi everyone,

Can I ask a question on behalf of a lovely MN friend? She's been ttc for well over a year now but is under 30 so I'm asking on her behalf.

Basically her cycles have recently gone dooollally. Just totally unpredictable so now she's on day 50something and before had a really short one.

She saw the doc who took bloods and they all came back ok. She's been told she can go for a scan but the appointment will take months, and has received no other information or advice.

Ive mentioned the acupuncture for regulating cycles but does anyone have any other advice about things she should try or fight for at this stage?

Thank you wise berries x

Aaaaah here you all are! Overslept due to boozy overindulgence and missed the shuttle, had to run after it waving my sausages! Can I wiggle onto a squishy bit of the sofa, my head hurts..

Right, are we updating? TTC since May 12, instadiffed but then MC in Aug, since then cycle between 1wk and 3 months. Awaiting probable PCOS diagnosis from incompetent GP/consultant combo. CD13ish today, doing a boodle and waving legs in the air to retain swimmers as I type..

bajas excellent to hear your dad's on the mend!

yorkie good luck at the docs! Make sure you quote lots of guidelines at them, beat them at their own game Smile

Bunny CD29...have you pimped?

Frogcatcher · 22/04/2013 11:46

bunny did you find reflexology really helped then? How did you find a practitioner? I had a quick google but no idea how to tell a good one from bad!

Bunnygirlie · 22/04/2013 08:21

Morning all! Glad you made it! Grin

I have been TTC since June 12 (ugh so cycle 11 here), will be first for me and hubby, just having basic blood tests at docs, day 1 results fine, need to ring for day20 results and hubby should get jizz test results back this week!

CD29 here, by missing my reflexology appointment I think I may have messed up my regular cycles!

Ooh, shiny new thread - make space on the sofa of pity for me! I've been ttc since Dec 2011, lots of tests last month and back to the fc in May to see what happens next. 2DPO here, so most of the 2ww ahead. Expect much wailing and POAS action ;)

yorkiebilb · 22/04/2013 07:55

Morning berries!

Cycle 9 for me. Had mmc in December. Off to the docs this afternoon to try and persuade them to do some blood tests.

Thundercatsarego · 22/04/2013 07:46

Morning everyone!

Nice ümlaut, bunny!

Me- I am on around cycle 11. Had mc last year and since developed hypothyroidism, so am now a regular drug user and frequently found being drained of blood.

Bajas · 22/04/2013 07:43

Morning all. Cycle 9 I think. 3dpo (1st time I know- yay for temping) but no chance I'm pg this time as didn't dtd in the right time.

Good news- dad getting out of hosp today! This means we have a 5 hour drive to get him and mum home (was in my db's when sick) and then another 3 hours to get us home so we'll be exhausted but happy at work tomorrow!

Frogcatcher · 22/04/2013 07:32

Oh & it's shag fortnight for me (a week just don't cover it when you're cycles range from 25 to 34 days baby) Grin

Frogcatcher · 22/04/2013 07:29

Morning berries! Cycle 6 but varying cycles & yet to pinpoint O. Off to docs if nothing happens this cycle due to advanced years (36) & the horror stories of all the waiting & useless GPs. Angry

barkingtreefrog · 22/04/2013 07:12

Found you all!!!
Cycle 17 here, HSG next month, internal scan and next fc appointment to follow up in July. Short luteal phase so trying vitamin b6 this cycle as won't get sweeties clomid until July and I'm not good at waiting Grin .

happylass · 21/04/2013 23:19

. Thanks Bunny

Cycle 9 for me. AF due May 9th. Off to the GP for my referral if his one doesn't come up trumps. Getting married August 2014 so need to get upduffed soon to avoid walking down the aisle looking like a beached whale!

Tallyra · 21/04/2013 23:18

#Bounces in on the sausage shuttle and bounds hopefully onto the pouffe of possibility, falls off and ends up just about nearly on the sofa of pity...

I've been ttc since 2009 or is it 2010? I forget now. 3 mmc, including hospital trips for re-hydration each time. Waiting for appt with gynae at hospital to see if there is any reason for mmc before we're 'allowed' to try again. Appointment is not til June Sad

BoodIeBee · 21/04/2013 23:13

Pouffe of Possibility . Can I sit on it, pleeeeeeeease?

As a refresher, I am cycle 21/22 of TTC (so long I can't even remember). Have recently seen FC and I am booking an HSG for next month and getting more bloods to check progesterone and prolactin this month. Due to see FC again in early July.

Bunnygirlie · 21/04/2013 22:57

No need for a list but how about everyones first post is a refresher on where we all are in this sometimes hideous TTC journey?!?
