Mel and Lily so sorry to hear that you are having such tough times
. I know how demoralising and devastating it is to be on such a long journey, I'm sure you'll remember me saying that it took us 3 1/2 years to get our first BFP. Looking back now, we didn't get enough help. Yes we had great medical help from our GP and a fantastic consultant. But we both needed to talk to someone about the fact we felt that our lives were on hold and that all our friends were leaving us behind. I will never ever forget the despair that I felt (and still do feel sometimes). Please remember that however tough it is, and I know it is, people really do understand. ((((hugs)))
lily I can't remember, are you being monitored each month for the Clomid? Good luck with it, sometimes it takes a few months to kick in (I got BFP on month 6)
mel well worth getting some tests lined up at the doctors. I'm sure your friendly (FX) GP will be willing to test you for your Day 21 progesterone level - remember that this test needs to be done 7DPO so hang out for the right date for you if you know your cycle. Anything above 30 means you're definitely ovulating though I've been told a higher figure is better ( I finally got to 50 on Clomid after being 1 naturally!). The next tests would be DH swimmers, (easy he just gets given a jar and has to keep it warm for 30 mins until it's handed over at the surgery!). If those tests come back ok then you might have to be prepared for the medics to suggest that you need to give it some more time. Have experience of the next level of tests which are far more invasive but will save that unless you need to go there.
Hadrian repeat, symptoms come and go! I've not had many at all, had far more with my MMC. Trying not to stress, it's not easy is it??
Early scan (t'other thread) sounds like a good idea. Pay. You will be seen more quickly and won't have to sit in a waiting room with preggers chavs. Or walk past them smoking outside the hospital. Bitter, moi??
Bump how're you going?? Have you seen GP yet?
Olis how are you, still so impressed by your weight loss regime!!
to Collie (wow where did those 3 months go??

Chloe huge hugs to you if you're reading/lurking.
