S'alright, Barking! I just hope that we both get sorted out at our appointments! My ideal appointment will go like this:
"Oh yes, your thyroid is not working properly. Your doctor is a grade A pillock for not fixing this 6 months ago. Go back to her and tell her to get it sorted or I'll come down there and kick her up the backside myself. Whilst you're here, take this clomid and progesterone and combine for instant BFP."
Likely to happen?!

Merk It might have been me waiting impatiently for DP's SA results as we couldn't get our referral done until both results were in and we were told we had to wait for a joint appointment to discuss both our results only they then called DP and told him over the phone that his results were 'normal' a week before our appointment, leaving me stressed and assuming it was me, as well as 
that I could have picked up my results two weeks previously if I hadn't done as I was told and waited for a joint appointment.
There are plenty of women saying that clomid is just given as a fob off, but also a significant number saying it lengthened their LP, or brought O forward in their cycle (so same overall outcome).
This is the article I want to learn from before my FC appointment!

Still no AF. Bizarrely lots of CM but no more spotting since Saturday. I get the odd lower belly twinge, feel bloated a lot of the time & I think I've got v sensitive to smells but that's only cos I know it's a pg symptom. 
I'll be pimping again later this week.
Will try harder with temping but I get up so stupidly early (5.45 alarm) when I work in another office a couple of days a week that I have no desire to wake up at that time every day! and DP would not be a happy camper

Interesting articles barking and boodle. It looks like I'm being checked for all that at the moment, and they won't hand over the Clomid do anything else until the results are in. I've decided that it is my uterine lining that is the problem .
Frog I can't get my head around that chart at all. I'd do what barking says and write this cycle off and try again next month. I'm going to start temping again I think, so we can all post our indecipherable charts together

morning girls. I'm the for my usual breakfast check before I walk the dog.
Practically everyone I know knows we are ttc, and sometimes we get sympathetic questions and advice from ones that also had problems. We pretty much had to tell them because of me being in hospital each time before. I even told the girls in the office at work because I knew I'd be ill when last pg kicked in. they don't help much tho.
I'm about to go visit my boss who had her baby that was supposed to arrive a week before mine last time. I expect tears. 
See you later!
