Hi temp buds
Just popping in before we go away tomorrow (off on a road trip to MrsMc land!) just in case we have no internet connection where we are off to - as you can see I am up late (packing up the car and doing slowly making my way through my to do list!) so will not be temping as don't think I am going to get my requisite 4 hours sleep In fact I am toying with the idea of no temping for the next 10 days while we are away - Af is due by Saturday and I am under no illusions - she will appear - I can feel her calling cards - sore (.)(.) and general feeling of dampness down there (nice - TMI!) I have resisted the urge to blow the dust off my year old First Response test and take it with me - I haven't needed it in a year- not going to cave in now!
Thank you everyone for kind messages of support re our appointment -Had our first consult with Fertility Gyny this afternoon. She was really nice - answered most of my questions before I had asked them - I think she was a little surprised with how much info I had/knew but was not critical which was nice. The plan is to do CD2/3 tests and a chlamydia (?) screening (annoying as will be away next week when hit CD2 so have to wait for June cycle) Then based on those we will go on to HSG and /or lap and dye (apparently if you test +ive for chlamydia they recommend going straight to lap and dye as ch can increase risk fo tube damage?)
She was almost in the camp of no "such thing as short/defect LP" ?? (nearly told her to log on MN!!) and she said most womens cycles fluctuate length at the pre-ove stage but not much at the post ov phase. Interestingly she did say that for those of us with short cycles the slightly earlier OV could be a prob as the uterus needs time to recover from the previous AF??
I went for the consult privately but she confirmed that she would take me over to her NHS practice and we would prob be eligible for one IVF cycle on NHS which was good news.
Anyway - enough of me me me!!
