All that she wants is A baby! The Berries searching for the 'sign' but never symptom spotting (honest), possibly using a vagina jack and trying to get a FUFC before boarding the IVF train (thread 18)

[Bunnygirlie]

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 12+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Exactly what I was thinking Parsley. I've had enough of being told that spotting 'isn't a problem' that there's 'no such thing' as a luteal phase defect, that I got pg on clomid so there's 'no reason it won't happen again' and that the mc was 'just bad luck'. It sounds like she'd actually listen and give direction instead of dismissing my numerous concerns as irrelevant. I'll order the questionnaire and fill it in post fc visit on Wednesday!

You're welcome parsley you've actually inspired me to get back in touch with her at some point soon.

How's everyone doing? Feel so out of the loop at the moment. And I am dreading my hsg tomorrow afternoon...

Just remember feather, knowledge is power . Without it you can't plan your next steps.

I've finally had a temp drop after 6? 7? days of spotting. Still not had a 'normal' flow although it started the same day as my temp drop last cycle. I'm nervously counting down to the fc appointment on Weds. not so cocky about knowledge being power when it's about me Thanks for the rainbow lady info. Science can f off. I'm ready for some woo now .

Your HSG will be fine, Feather...a little humiliating but, believe me, it'll be over before you know it and you can get out of there!

Barking sorry to barge in again but I had a thought in the middle of the night. Can you also ask your clinic about your dose of clomid? I understood its usual to O within 6 days after the last tablet but I'm not sure its giving you such a strong O pattern at the current dose

I think it's more the result than the procedure that feather isn't looking forward to boodle not that I'm stalking you feather

x post merk. Definitely going to ask about the clomid, but not sure whether they'll give me any more while waiting for IVF, and whether they would allow me to up the dose given it 'worked once.' Worth asking though, thanks for thinking of me and suggesting it .

Oh, sorry Feather; that's me being dozy! Hopefully they'll talk you through what they're seeing on the screen, even though it's not 'official'.

I'd imagine there is some theraputic value in just writing down everything to do with ttc via the questionnaire, and as you say parsley feeling as though someone is listening to you, and your unique experience, and giving you support and advice based on that, rather than being reduced to set of impersonal clinical protocols and prescriptive steps.

feather I really hope the hsg goes ok.

beaky how did you get on with your hsg? Hope it was ok!

Ooh good luck Feather! I'm sure it will go well and put another piece of the puzzle in place.

Off to see the GP re bloods tomorrow..... Eeek!

How is everyone else?

Hi everyone, thanks for all the 'keep your chin up' comments at the weekend, I needed it!

Parsley I too have been checking out Lucy after you mentioned her here. I really like her approach. Very tempted to get myself a plan too. She'll be kept busy with us Berries! And feather, great recommendation for the Clomid mp3. I'm traveling with work this week and I've listened to this twice already in my hotel - it's amazingly therapeutic. Totally appreciated right now.

How many cycles did you get with Clomid before barking? Surely it wouldn't hurt to give it another go whilst waiting for IVF, assuming there is enough time between finishing say, a cycle of clomid or 3, and starting the IVF meds... Do report back on that, I'm really interested on their stance as I'm going to try for something similar (although with Gonal-f injections whilst on the waiting list).

Good luck with the hsg feather.

Feather, best of luck for tomorrow, fx everything is grand.

My HSG was fine, right tube was clear but at first nothing was coming out of the left, so they tried again and it got through. They went through the erm, pictures(?) with me afterwards and now I just need to wait for my FC follow up next week. Thanks for asking Tiger

Barking you must be so frustrated. Hope the FC appointment helps on Wednesday.

Hope everyone else is ok for a Monday!

X post RP and Otters, good luck for tomorrow RP and glad you are feeling a little better Otters.

otters 6 cycles of totally unmonitored clomid. The difficult thing would be if they say it's more clomid or IVF referral but not both. Especially as the clock is ticking for egg sharing. I'm going to stop second guessing and wait until Wednesday......

beaky glad all was ok with the hsg .

rp hope all is well tomorrow
feather I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and checking in even if I can't post - when is it? Be sure to give us an update as we'll be here waiting .

All the best for tomorrow feather. Glad yours went ok today beaky.
I am also checking out Lucy the rainbow lady and definitely thinking about giving it a go.
4dpo here and nothing to report.
Was Boodle stripping again at the weekend? I heard rumours so thought I'd stay away so as not to encourage her. Is it egg collection tomorrow then?
Hope married life is treating you we'll barking!

Well not we'll. I have a new iPhone today!!! Oooooo

Good luck for EC tomorrow Boodle, keeping everything crossed for a decent haul. Bet you were pleased not to have any injections today.

Good luck with ec today boodle!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Will report back when done. It's at 3pm.

Ooh, beaky sounds like the managed to clear your other tube! That's great news. Remember: now three months of 'extra fertility'

Good luck today boodle and feather!

beaky as feather says, you might get lucky. I got my BFP 3 months after my hycosy...

Good luck boodle!

Hello funky your holiday must be soon then? not at all jealous!

Morning everyone else

Popping in to say good luck/all the best/break a leg to boodle and feather

Good luck for EC Boodle, fx for you and of course Feather, I hope it's a good day all round.

Thanks everyone, fx for the extra fertile period, something has to help

How's everyone else doing?

Good luck Boodle/Feather

Ooh, it's all go in here! Feather, good luck with the hsg today. Boodle, hope egg collection goes well and you get a decent haul. Barking, not long till FC appointment, I hope it gives you some answers. Beaky, glad your hsg went well... And fingers crossed for your increased fertility!!

So... All signs would suggest I ovulated on Saturday! Ewcm, opk, temps. 19 days after my erpc. Fertility friend gave me definite cross hairs (not even dotted ones like last time!). I really hope I did. Hopefully I'm now back in the game, 3dpo.
