Sorry for af queen, and the wasted test! I never use a digi unless to confirm, ( too much experience of wasting money)
Adsum was very funny, selfish Middleton!! Hope bleeding stops soon as mentally you feel much better when the physical bit is over < hugs>

twinklestar2 · 20/02/2013 13:20

I never POAS! Sorry girls. Im only on cd29 so still time for her to show.

twinklestar2 · 20/02/2013 13:22

And pink when I wipe so I'm guessing she'll be here soon. Just in time for the fertility clinic. It's like reverse irony hey?

twinklestar2 · 20/02/2013 13:35

Nothing to say apart from if you're Christian and want to know what hell is like, I'm living it :(

Alexandra6 · 20/02/2013 14:00

Oh winkle I'm sorry, really hope it's implantation bleeding but as someone who spots randomly all the time, I know it's hard getting hopes up. It could be though.

Your last post made me want to cry a bit...it's emotional this ttc business!

Alexandra6 · 20/02/2013 14:01

Ps good luck the appointment

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 20/02/2013 14:25

twinkle I'm really sorry. I had high hopes for this cycle. Take lots of fissures into the fertility app. Hope it goes well. [big hug]

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 20/02/2013 14:32

Fissures = tissues (bloody bloody iPhone) sorry twinkle

Thingymajigs · 20/02/2013 14:38

I am so so sorry winkle. Thanks Sad
I hope you can get some reassurance at the fertility clinic.
Gutted as well for queen. It must be upsetting to be late and have your hopes up.

QueenofClean · 20/02/2013 14:52

Hmm Sorry Twinkle.

I used up all my cheapies only had CB left! Grrr.

DH won't know what's hit him when this period has finishedGrinWink

resipsa · 20/02/2013 15:06

winkle - sorry for you. Hope you get some answers/feel better after your appt. Let us know.

weechops · 20/02/2013 15:22

queen sorry af showed and winkle big hugs for you too, so so sorry. xx

twinklestar2 · 20/02/2013 16:13

Thx girls. Ttc is so mad that one hour you're down in the dumps and the next you're happy and smiling! The appt went really really well. The consultant was lovely. He said its likely to be taking a long time because of hubs morphology so he's told my hub to stop his occasional smoking and cut out drinking completely for 3 months and then get another SA done.

I'm booked in to have my tubes flushed in 2 weeks. So it was actually a good thing that today was cd1 as you have to book that in on the first day of your cycle.

He said if hub implants those lifestyle changes and still nothing we have to go straight for IVF which I'm ok with because at least then I know we have tried everything.

He talked through my test results and said everything with me is fine. I'm ovulating every month and I have a good egg reserve.

He said his most successful patients are the ones in our position - where the woman is young and the man has problems with his sperm.

So I'm feeling much more positive! Sorry for being over dramatic earlier Blush

Alexandra6 · 20/02/2013 16:22

Ah great news winkle all sounds really positive and a good plan of action.

The only bit I don't like was his bit about the most successful patients but that's purely because my DH's SA result was fine and I'm the one with the problem! [ wink]

How was your DH about cutting out drinking? I only ask because now I'm on clomid, was thinking DH should be as healthy as poss even though he doesn't have issues, but I've noticed he's not cut back on drinking at all lately so not sure whether to nag talk to him about it?

RedRobin1 · 20/02/2013 17:11

Thats fab news winkle do you think DH will agree on the alcohol front? We haven't cut it out completely yet, and DH probably has 4-6 units a month which doesn't seem a lot, but perhaps in terms of the morpho numbers every little will help. I think seeing a consultant def helps as they give you much positivity and hope.

Only thing I'd like to say is with the Hycosy / HSG (tube flushing procedure) its best to book it in between CD1-CD10, so for example if you OV on CD14, so you can still make use of that cycle. If you have it done on or after CD14, you might miss OV that month and would have to wait it out till next month.

I had mine done on CD9, spotted for 3 days after, so no dtd till CD13. I OV on CD16-17 so was okay to dtd that month. Hope that helps.

twinklestar2 · 20/02/2013 17:55

He had agreed on the no alco - I've said I'll do it with him too.

I've already booked the tube flushing as we were in the hospital so we thought might as well do it while were there. Booked in for cd14 - they said it had to be done before cd15. Maybe cause I have a 30ish day cycle? Consultant said try like mad afterwards.

I'm hoping with the tube flushing and hub cutting back on alco - which he's been doing since the beginning of the year anyway - we won't be waiting too much longer.

SunshineOutdoors · 20/02/2013 18:16

Oh winkle, this cycle sounds very positive then Smile

twinklestar2 · 20/02/2013 19:19

Thanks girls you are all wonderful. I can't wait till the day I can tell you all that I'm pregnant.
