'Is Foundation Feminist?' Who gives a shiny shit? On this 'ere March bus we want career-destroying babies!

Yes, the ultrasound. I also had an external full bladder one then went for a wee and came back for internal one. They were looking for cysts on ovaries, fibroids, uterus (and whether or not it has a tilt!). I even got told that she could see a corpus luteum from ov (i went on cd21) and said that I had a slight tilt in my cervix that could be straightened to allow sperm better entry by having a slightly full bladder!

Purdey I find 2 children no ore work than 1. I agree they entertain eachother more.

ThePug wow lots of driving. Hope you had a lovely time. Like your high temp! Much more hopeful looking than my shitty chart.

wotsits so pleased for your friend!

Sparkly I'm ok thanks. Just been trying to get my head back down at work after being very distracted recently and spending more time concentrating on DP in the evenings as have been neglecting him too.

Sparkly, when are you expecting a positive opk? Mines negative today but line getting stronger so hopefully tomorrow

eskimo good luck for the scan, sorry I can't offer any advice but hopefully some others can!

oyster I just have my usual pre AF symptoms of sore boobs and feeling a bit emotional so I think she's on her way
I'm glad you're feeling hopeful, fingers crossed it's a BFP, we need the next round of them here!

Eskimo, my scan was about 10/15 minutes. External with a full bladder then I popped for a wee and she did an internal. It was fine, much better than a smear. The probe thing hardly goes inside. It was checking my tubes and ovaries, don't know if yours is the same thing though.

Pug, wow 8 countries! Love your chart, what a huge dip (implantation) although a bit early and a fantastic rise, ooh that could also be implantation according to Dr.Purdey fx for you.

That's interesting Juney. Maybe they give the results out in numbers here. I'm sure I can get more info from them though

Hi Eskimo. I had a TV ultrasound in November and they didn't tell me what they were looking for. Lasted about 10 minutes and all I hard back from the GP was that everything was normal. Good luck!

Hope someone can help Eskimo.

Why do you say that Woolly?

I do have a bit of hope this month which is going to make it a lot worse in the likely event that it's for nothing.

Hi all,

Apologies in advance for the 'me' post, but I've just got in from doing Parents' Evening at my school, haven't had chance to read back through the thread yet, but I've got a letter through from th'ospital and I have a date for my ultrasound. It's a pelvis transvag one and it's next Wednesday morning.

Before I do a whole lot of Googling to find out about the ins and outs of this, can anyone tell me what will be involved? Are they looking for cysts and stuff? What else, if anything, are they looking for?

Am off to get my dinner and then I'll read back and catch-up, so sorry again if I've missed any big news!

spinning hope you get some clarity tomorrow on the results - sounds mind boggling!
oyster and pug I'm in a similar place to you, about 11 dpo today but not feeling very positive about a BFP this month

I've only had one cycle off the pill so far and that was 33 days (AF came on day 34). CD34 would be a week today, so I guess if nothing has shown up by then I might.

I'm only one day ahead pug, 10DPO. I didn't ovulate until CD17 and my cycles are 28 days so I guess I have a pretty short LP.
I'm poas tomorrow regardless.
When is AF due for you?

Hmm the sperm bank offered a numerical value for motility so it's not beyond the realms of possibility?

thepug interesting dip yesterday!

I am 9DPO. Here's my chart. Had my highest temp yet today, but it was taken about 30mins early than my normal time (I was properly deeply asleep though). Yesterday's was about 45mins earlier than normal time. The two big dips a few days after Ov are I think invalid as I hadn't just woken up and one day I had spoken to OH.

How am I looking?

I'm home and absolutely exhausted (symptom, obv). We drove through 8 counties today!

Spinning Annoying that the clinic didn't give you the results properly but great news that the tests have been done. More knowledge, more power. Hope the results tomorrow give you the full picture

Dizzy Maybe your precious little egg is popping out now and rollin' on down. Wouldn't hurt to get some more spermies in place to meet it.

Purdey I have no idea whether two kids would be double the work, or whether they would entertain each other (once past the first few months) therefore making life easier.

Oyster What DPO are you? We were dtd'ing at around the same time I remember but I think you might be a few days ahead of me.

Autumn Fingers crossed for you, hope your partner is being supportive and helping you cope with the uncertainty

Sparkly Excellent job on sucking it all up last night, you're a pro!

Spinning we haven't told anyone this time either. My mum was so supportive last time but my granddad hasn't been so well this past year so I didn't think it fair to offload on her, though she does know we would like another and has this woo thing saying I will have 3!!! She is currently in Canada visiting her family. Last time quite a few family members knew and it just felt like the pressure was on so this time we have kept it to ourselves. My sil had problems conceiving her two even before we started trying but like you say nobody talks about these things

Ah thanks Sammy for finding out your results. Hopefully I'll have the correct answers tomorrow and I'll be back here with those

I think fertility problems are a bit like mc in that it's not really discussed irl, I really think it's quite common to have problems ttc and it's sad women don't talk about it more. No-one irl knows we're ttc so being here is so important to me. I've learned so much from being on these threads and I have lots of new friends

spinning sorry they're confusing you with all the sperm info. Hoping they can give you the proper results tomorrow and someone on here can help.

purds if AF is going to show up, hope it does soon so you at least know what's going on.

Got a good report from my IBD consult, just to call them if I get pregnant to adjust meds. Be nice if I have to make that call soon.

Hi everyone!! So much to catch up on as I couldn't get on here all day due to mumsnet eating all my 3G allowance!

Autumn - what a roller coaster, keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you!!

Purdey - what is with that hight temp with a bfn at this last stage?! I hope you find out one way or another tomorrow.

Spinning - I just dug out dhs results and I'm with the others on the confusion of how you could get a numerical figure for motility. The guidelines say 'normal' is greater than 32% progressive mobile. Morphology needs to be greater than 4%.

Need to read back to catch up.... Will reply to others shortly!

Found out today that a chap at work is also having investigations - seems like conception issues are more common than I thought! X

Purdey, this waiting for af is just the worst head f*ck!! I hate it! I'm with you on those endless awful kids programmes. I hated them. See if you can pick up some Disney ones in the charity shops, they're halfway bearable!

You would think the bloody fertility clinic could give me proper results in % rather than numbers wouldn't you!! I didn't realise until I googled that the number means nothing oh well, have to wait until tomorrow for them to call me now.

Hope they get back to you soon spinning nothing worse than waiting.
No smiley on opk this afternoon so will try again in the evening because I still have loads of ewcm and strong pains in my right side, which is a first for me

Thanks oyster, Lucie is advising me on the April bus. They should have given me the motility count in percentages, for how many are living etc. I've left another message with them to call me!
