Being sent for blood test advice please!

Will do, thankyou

Congratulations, Pumpkin!!

Hi Mrs C, we stopped all opk's etc this month and decided we will simply let Mother Nature do as she pleases. I have started taking B Complex vitamins as someone on here suggested it may improve my AMH levels and (as my GP says) won't do me any harm. He did say I could have my levels checked again to see if they come up with the vitamins but, equally said getting pregnant would show an improvement.

Going by my previous cycles I'm around 7dpo so firmly in my tww and just awaiting the arrival of af!!

Congratulations Pumkin! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

I hope you two are ok as well Pumkin and Remember Has anything happened with you?

Aw I'm so sorry Angel From what I've read, lots of ladies do seem to need a few rounds. That doesn't help though, especially when you've got to find the money for it! It seems even worse that we have to go through the emotional amd physical symptoms and then not conceive. I feel for you! What is your plan now? I personally would try to reduce your BMI in the meantime, as then you'll be ready whatever you decide, whether you save to pay for another round or reduce it enough to get it through the NHS. Of course it depends whether, like you say, you'd be prepared to go through it again. I know what you mean about pg women being around, I'm constantly dealing with my brother in laws wife who is 6 months pg with twins and doesn't even seem that bothered about it! She knows too that I'd do anything to be in her position. I'm trying to move on though and be positive. Things are going well with reducing my BMI, I have a stone to go til I'm at 30, and consultant has promised to prescribe Clomid when I go back in 6 weeks time, as long as weight is off. I know it will be though, as I've lost 2st 3.5lbs so far, Wanting a baby has made me the most determined I've ever been! I know Clomid isn't the be all and end all to getting pg, and ov'ING doesnt guarantee pregnancybut I need to give it a go

Hi MrsC hope things are going well for you. After feeling very hormonal and reduced to a blubbering wreck at work i got my AF. Gutted!
Can't afford another month of Clomid yet and as result just feeling totally deflated and fed up with the whole farce. Sorry for sounding so negative I know I have only had one round of Clomid and people keep telling me to keep trying but to be honest I think I've had enough. To top it all off a girl at work is now pregnant and I am having to listen to a constant conversation about prams, labour and maternity clothes!

Thanks for listening, any positivity greatly received please

Hi Angel Have been off here for a while and just catching up with everything, Have you had the results back yet?

I think now it's down to Mother Nature and a big dose of miracles as nothing, so far, has been found that can replace egg reserves.

I do have some good friends praying for me to get my miracle!!

Good news pumpkin. My appointment was today and the news for me was not good news - AMH levels very low indicates poor egg reserves and quality and that I'm unlikely to conceive naturally. My age is a negative factor so I think we may have to give up trying.

Angel Yeah that's what the hosp told me too about Clomid being less effective when BMI is higher. I suppose this makes sense but it's taken a while to accept as there are so many really big ladies who get pg. Guess they're just lucky. I know losing weight is better in the long run so any future pg will be easier and healthier. Good luck in the 2ww, hope it's good news for you! Same for Pumkin, will keep an eye out for an update on your next test

Thanks rememberallball

That's cleared up a lot for me!

Stace, d21bloods are actually 7day pre af bloods because they're not looking at FSH/LH levels which are done d2-4 but looking at progesterone levels which rise when you have ovulated.

Good luck and I hope the results are positive for you xx

Thank you and good luck!

Hi Stace day 21 bloods showed that I wasn't ovulating. Just completed first round of Clomid and now 2-3 wk wait!
Good luck with your bloods!

Ok thanks for the response angeldelight123

What were your results if you dont mind me asking! Is everything ok for you to keep ttc or will you need extra assistance?

Hi Stace I think day 21 is a pretty standard blood test regardless of cycle. Mine have been all over the place and they still did mine day 21. Good luck with yours!

Hey ladies, as your talking about ov bloods thought id ask a question!

I have my ov bloods booked in for this Wednesday 14th , gp asked for me to come in 21 days after my period.. which would be on Wednesday. This is to see if im ovulation, thing is my apps (Ovia and Pink pad) show that i am either oving from 9th-14th or 6th-12th.. should my ov bloods not be done at my peak?!

Hope that makes sense

Hey Pumpkins just a thought I had this morning, perhaps you ovulated earlier this month. According to the nurse I saw she said Clomid can shorten or lengthen your cycles. Good luck
