TTC 10 Months Plus, Supporting Eachother & Staying Positive :) new thread!!

maybug they should be able to refer based on ur results and do dhs whilst u wait for appt. I'd push hard! what bloods is ur dh having? my dh has only done sa's and I'm hoping they will do more tests on him but no idea what so don't know what to ask about/demand!

Fingers crossed Laura. X

My'day 21' retest has shown even lower levels than last time so waiting to see what the gp says. Everything just takes so long. Dh having a blood test this week and 2nd sa next week so until those are results are in gp won't make the fertility referral. Driving me mad!

Congrats m33r x

Yay m33r - so so pleased for you! At last! Amazing news! xxx

Victoria - one of my pet hates are people who have a job, and don't do it!! So frustrating feels like leaving all your world in their hands and that they couldn't really give a crap :(

Well - since the +ve ov tests (2 days running then fading so def no fluke) I've had pains daily on my right side - can't figure if it's constipation or something else, and really sensitive nipples and hoo-ha (soz TMI!)...also I'd been having spots on my chin loads and they've all cleared up and had no others! I've now got to wait it out til at least Friday to do a test I'm practically driving myself to distraction! Do I feel different? Am I just symptom-spotting? ARGGGHHHHH!!!!

Congratulations m33r.
It really is great to have some good news on this thread and remind us all that it will eventually happen. Enjoy every minute. X

Congrats m33r, so pleased for you and your partner. It must be so surreal when you've waited for so long? Brilliant to have some great news on here!

I've been MIA for a bit but keep popping in to see how everyone is doing!Completely missed my ovulation this month I think (forgot to check the calendar!) and only managed to dtd on the day/day after so really pissed off with myself. We have out first fertility appt at the hospital in 3 weeks so will keep you posted.

Congrats m33r! Am really pleased for you! Gives me hope that it might actually happen for me one day! Hopefully sooner rather than later! Xxx

So happy for you m33r its nice to have some good news on here instead of the normal doom and gloom! Wishing you a very healthy 9 months, keep in touch yeah? Pop in see how we are all getting on!

sorry I've been mia girls.

m33r that is fantastic news! so so pleased for you.take each day as it comes. don't worry about darkness, a line is a line!

Vic I had an awful feeling this was going to happen again when u said still no appt the other day. I'd go in there in Monday and refuse to leave until I had the referral letter in my hand to post myself. then I'd hand deliver it to the clinic. but that's just me! I'm not surprised your blood is boiling. definitely complain at the highest level, smd definitely chase daily!

feeling deflated here even tho its a new month post hsg and only cd8. hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I pressed for tests after 15 months trying. I don't have as much time on my side though as I'm 34. They take bloods on various days to check you ovulate and they send your partner for a sperm analysis. If inconclusive they might send you for a pelvic and/or transvaginal ultrasound. Me and dh have also been tested for every std under the sun too! Nice to know we don't have any! Oh, I think they also test your iron levels and thyroid function at the start too.

Hey victoria no I haven't been to the GP yet, I'm currently changing doctors so will do when I register at the new surgery. What sort of things will they send us to have tests for? To be honest looking back, the last 18 months has gone very quickly, each month saying "we'll try for one more month!" But never actually seeing anyone about it, think it probably is time to now! Xx

Welcome to the group ELA88. Have you asked the doc for any tests yet? You're entitled to after 12 months x

I think our GP has applied for fertility treatment funding as we had a copy of a letter. But I thought the fertility consultant was meant to do that after you'd been referred. I'm wondering now if he applied and we failed the criteria as we're still under 2 years by 3 months. I pressed for early referral as we had a diagnosis but our local CCG states 2 years trying. I wish he would have told us if we failed and needed to wait a few more months. Then at least we'd know!

Enjoy your weekends girls. I'm up the in laws eating cake. At least MIL doesn't ask us about kids any more as we've told her the score now.

Omg! So excited for you m33r! Looks like your tubes got flushed after all! Self indulge away! I usually do! Lol.I hope this is it for you now! Keep us informed x x

Huge congratulations m33r, how exciting! Try not to stress about how dark your lines are, it really depends on so many factors (not least the type of test) that it is not an indication of anything being wrong.

Hey ladies! Thought I would finally join another room to say hi! I've only really been in temping buddies for the past few months! I'm 26, TTC#1 and just coming to the end of cycle 18. Do you ever sometime feel like all the 2ww's and fertile days just blur into one long emotional period of time?!
Congrats on your BFP m33r! Xxx

m33r how exciting congrats hun.

Try not to worry to much live in the moment you are pregnant

im only 10dpo and already trying to not get excited that I have mega tender boobs and loadsa spots on my face which I never have!!

Can't believe they've done it to you again Victoria! You need to put in a complaint with the patient care people. My brother who works for the nhs days that if you have genuine cause for complaint it's well worth doing because thereafter staff make loads of effort with you to prevent any further complaints.
And you definitely have a genuine cause!!

That's terrible victoria, but sadly not surprising. Agree with blueberry, I'd chase them up again next week to make sure this time the letter gets sent and maybe ask if they can bump you up the list to make up for their cock-up.

Vicky god doctors really are shit aren't they I cant believe they have done this to you again.

I guess you really cant trust them, id call them again on Monday if I was you just to make sure the message gets through.
