So - after 2, maybe 3 mc's and my locum gp saying that they would do nothing till I had a definite 3rd mc, I went to see my usual gp last week. I just asked if there was anything I should be doing and he said "no, we need to be checking you out".

So DH does his sperm test in the morning. I have to say reading all the instructions quite amused me, and I have visions of me being stopped speeding on my way to the hospital trying to get it there in time; I wonder how "sorry, officer, I am just carrying my DH's sperm in my hoodie to keep it warm on the way to the hospital, now let me go, I'm on a tight schedule" would go down......!

He isn't so thrilled about doing it, but hopefully that will be it. To quote the doc "it's probably her fault, so let's just rule you out".

I am so nervous about it. Tomorrow I'm off to buy me a thermometer to work out when I'm ovulating....yup, I have become THAT woman!!

That's great news holls that they're finally taking notice. Please be sure to stick around and let us know how you're getting on. xx

Thanks; will do. I tend to drop in and then have massive crises when it all goes tits up and then I drop out again. Think I'll hang around this time; mumsnet is much more understanding than my DH....!!!! xX

I know what you mean as exiting as ttc is. It does get you down sometimes. A.F was 2 days late, she was due to visit 1st August and came on 3rd. However I started getting my hopes up and I done a test which said negative but there was still the hope in the back of my mind. I think all women ttc will relate to that. I know this sounds awful and but I had to stop coming on here during A.F well to the conceptions threads at least as I was getting jealous and feeling inferior to everyone who was getting their B.F.P.. xxx

I'm so the same. I am terrible as well when friends get pg; I have to distance myself from them, just till the baby arrives, then I am fine again... I get excited every time my boobs hurt or I feel a bit sick. I must be spending a fortune on pregnancy tests... xxx
