munx that rat MUST be smacked for sure, can you even sit down??
sweetie thanks for the squeeze, must needed. I agree with the others, you should get the ball rolling because it takes months and you want to start the tests as soon as possible as they can take some time too. Not that any of the 6 month crowd will still be here in 6 months innit?
generic so pleased you are feeling upbeat and positive, you are a real inspiration to me, in fact you all are and have seen me through so many highs and lows, I don;t know what I do without you all, sniff.
I did ask the consultant about clomid if you are already ovulating, he said he would proceed with caution as it can thin the lining and dry up fertile mucus. That is why he wants to track a cycle and see exactly what is going on with the lining and progesterone (is it dropping off a cliff to0 quickly etc) Apparently it can be helpful with PCOS even if you are ovulating as its makes you produce more oestrogen and FSH and fires up the ovaries to produce better quality eggs which in turn produce more progesterone. I think that is how it works. I think it is also used a first line infertility cure all because its cheap and easy to use. My undestanding is that if its going to work its likely to in the frist 3 months. They will need DH to do a sperm test though which he will HATE!!
maybe that sounds like a lush weekend. We have DH's uncle and kids descending on us, they are nice though so should be fun. It took them 10 yrs to have DD1 and some fertility treatment and then had DS1 7 yrs later, she was 47 and though she was going the menopuase (!!!!) so I am definitely going to speak to them about it this weekend if the moment feels right!
I also spend way too much time on here when I should be working instead. I like the post MC board as its very supportive but now most people on there are preggers again or had later mcs than me so I feel sometimes like a bit of a fraud. I also dipped my toe into the TTC 10 months plus thread but as someone on there pointed out, egg and sperm are meeting some of time so don;t really feel like its going to be home. So I feel a bit out of place as I sit somewhere between sub fertile and Mcs!! The end result is the same though, no fecking baby and a lot of mentalling! I also like the BESH style but its way too fierce for me on there, no where near as supportive as this thread and it really brought it home to me when one of the posters had a MC and was a bit upset and she was told to stop being bitter by a few posters. She was also defended but did think, that would NEVER happen on the rat smacketers thread :)
