Don't mess with the Bumsnetters they have Angry Pubes!

Sorry to hear of your confusion (and pain) Rainy :( hope things improve soon!

Don't worry chops am fully aware that GP would send me away with a flea in my ear! Thanks for the advice (and also Sparkly). Money wise would be a pinch but depending on cost could be possible. Have emailed local private hospital and Spire to see if they offer fertility appts :)

Hi everyone, so oh has major tummy ache and I am wondering if that is why I felt sick and dizzy over the weekend, spotting has ramped up a gear now and I constantly feel that my insides are following out, I have a pain in my hip since Friday and ovia sees that being a sign of pregnancy , everything is raising my hopes and then dashing them ,

night I doubt any GP would listen to you until you'd been trying a lot longer but you could probably see a private consultant. Do you have a bupa or spire hospital where you live? Do you have a spare couple of 100£?

Night it actually doesn't shock me anymore the amount of times I've experienced a bad bedside manner! I just think - why be in that job if you are going to treat people that way?! So re fertility- do you have private clinics near you? I would just google for private hospitals nearby and see which ones offer fertility then have a read on their website through consultants and decide. I think you can prob expect to be around £150 for the consultation but it may be totally worth it if you can afford to.

Thanks Sparkly :) do you know how to find a fertility specialist? Don't know where to start!

Shocked by nomio's doc, not acceptable!

Woolly so sorry AF properly showed up lovely! Next cycle next cycle next cycle! New hope!

Purdita hope work is a nice break today! I look forward to your stories!

Dizzynorth that would be a late OV though right? Sorry if you have already said but do you use OPKs? Huge temp dip would indicate OV today.Have a nice day with your friend.. Hoping for no surprise preggo announcements from her!!

Night cd9 is rather early to OV lovely.i think there may be a blood test to check quality of eggs if that's what you are concerned with.. Dr Purdie will know. I think it's a good idea to check that out. And not with a gp!

Froggy hope you are feeling a bit better this am!

Melon Urgh that sounds rotten!! Get well sooon!

Lucie if you are out there! Everything is crossed for you. Hope you had a safe journey home!

Sammy sorry for bumps! We had a separate fertility wait which I thought was really quite nice of the NHS! Good luck good luck! This is a good day for you! Oh you are out!- enjoy lunch!

Spinners no Poldark?! Wow!!

Tessie happy birthday to your nan! Enjoy today! My app will be 1pm, I may have one this week though I'm gonna see what happens. Trying to block it all out!! Hope you are feeling ok lovely

Pug so glad to hear you are ok and through it. Hope they are taking good care of you and update you soon.

Nomio glad you went to doc.. Although why does she keep doing this?! So frustrating for you! I hope you put her straight! (In the face, with a fist...!) Hopefully has been a little infection then and not what you were thinking. So you feel a bit easier today?

Will catch up with and update you all later - just off to find a pub for lunch with dh. Xx

Oh pug that's so horrible. How hard would it be to have two separate rooms/waiting areas for these things?
Hope you're doing okay, Xx

Thanks Purdie :) is it worth Temping a couple more months or just going to specialist straight away?

brings over a footspa for purdie and some

tessie enjoy the rest of your holiday!

night as nomio says it might be worth seeing a fertility specialist about it, I imagine it's not that uncommon and hopefully perfectly treatable.

Glad you're okay pug, hope they're round to give you an update soon

nomio her bedside manner sounds appalling, honestly, talk about what not to say to someone TTCing! You ok? Glad you're feeling better today and hope whatever it was is on its way out

If I could afford Clark's shoes I wouldn't have to go cap in hand to the benefits agency for clothes vouchers

night, I didn't want to alarm you but yes, it can be injurious to ttc when you ov very early. Eggs just aren't mature enough. Clomid would maybe help.

Sammy, they put old people like me on Clomid just to shut us up.

Anything under 11 days Boris!

Thanks nomio, do you know how I find a specialist and how much it costs on average?

Pug, how are you feeling? You seem to be amazingly brave, but please know that if you do need to cry or rant, we are here for you.

Night, I would go speak to a specialist if you can. It is probably not worth asking your GP about it, as they don't generally know much regarding fertility, and are often not allowed to prescribe the drugs. FX it can be fixed quickly and easily.

Tessie, hope you have a lovely time.

Frog, are you feeling a bit brighter today? I hope so. I normally feel crappy the first day, then on the second I start thinking about the next cycle.

I have been to see the Dr this morning. She doesn't seem to think it is OHSS, but suspects an infection. I had to do a urine sample & am about to go for blood tests, then she wants to see me again on Thurs. She really pissed me off as she referred to me as being pregnant twice! Erm, no!

So far today I feel a bit better, so whatever it was hopefully it is going.

pug Thinking of you hope they are looking after you.
sammy sorry about the bumps. Focus on the end game - this is to get you your own bump.
night interesting. What do they define as a short FP? I ovulate on day 10 which seems far to early.

Oh no, how inconsiderate of your DH Spinning! At least you can catch up later...I am also heard a spoiler for last night's episode so trying to stick fingers in my ears!!!

Haha!! Not to worry DizzyMerry!

Oh for goodness sake! I meant happy birthday to your nan tessie should read before I post

Thanks Merry am going to do more research later!

You put it so eloquently Woolly.

Night is it something that can be 'fixed'? Supplements? I really hope you get to the bottom of this to put your mind at rest.

Tessie happy birthday to your man. Hope you all have a lovely day.

Tessie, I missed Poldark! Dh came home just before it started and I'd rather watch it on my own. I saw a spoiler in the paper today so I quickly shut that down. Looking forward to catching up later

Hugs pug!

Feeling fine, just having a cup of tea. Doctor hasn't been in yet so not been told much but assume all went well.

Sammy - as I was wheeled down to theatre I was taken past a massively pregnant lady and her husband, was the only point I nearly cried. Hope you are seen soon.

Just found a research paper that states very clearly that a short follicular phase affects fertility and miscarriage. They found that for normal to late ovulators the chance of a pregnancy being viable was 84%, for early ovulators it's 21% :(

Oh sammy some of those bumps may have long TTC journeys behind them, and you're there to get closer to getting your very own bump - stay strong lovely x

pug! How was it? Hope you're okay and not feeling too out of it

Thinking of you Pug How did it go?
