I am ok thanks Mrs although I have a horrible cold and feel a bit sick but that might be in my head. Still worried about things going wrong but thrilled to be pregnant again.

No progesterone although I had intended to try some if I continued to be unsuccessful. All I took this month was folic acid and evening primrose oil, plus I used IC OPKs. Thank you.

Mrsunsure, a faint line sounds exciting, think i would have to get it out the bin and have another look. Have u got a FRER for tomor? x

Did AF show Mrs?x

Good luck for Tuesday mrs, even if it is a BFN, it's positive insofar as the LP is longer and spotting free. Really hope you get good answers on Tuesday. x

I'm with you

not long to wait now Mrs, fingers crossed you get some answers.

Hope you're ok Orianna x

Mrsunsure, sorry to hear you're feeling so down but don't give up now as you are getting so close. You may still have conceived this month, but even if you havent, now that your luteal phase and cycle in general are better you have more chance each month anyway. You may also get your progesterone on tues. Has your DH done a SA yet?

I know how hard it is, I also have days where I just want to lock myself away and cry, but I really do find it helps to keep busy and plan things that I won't be able to do when I do have a baby. So you should go tonight and have some fun (and dont take what they say too seriously.) x

Its surprising that they haven't asked your DH for a SA as this usually seems to be one of the first things they check, there is no consistency with the NHS! Have your blood test results showed low progesterone? As you have conceived before they may not ask you to have a HSG, I'm not sure, but I would definitely want to get the SA done as if there was also an issue with your DH then progesterone alone may not help. Try to stay positive, I think you will feel better after tues when you know whats going on and have a more definite 'plan of action.' x

My GP said she couldn't send off the referral unless we'd both had all the tests that's why I have to go and have a chlamydia swab next Thursday

Try not to worry mrsunsure whatever happens you will have solid information and be able to act appropriately xx

Oriana, our GP said the same. I also had to have the chlamydia swab, it was fine and I could do it myself so no embarrassing lying there with everything on show x

Hi Mrsunsure, after reading this I just wanted to wish you luck for Tuesday.

I think the way you're feeling is completely ok and understandable. It is so tough, and I'm glad that we're all here to support each other. I completely agree with thinking that we did things the 'right way' and can't help but wonder why are other people who have no stability in their life don't seem to have trouble bringing a child in to the world!

I agree with sunshine that it would be beneficial to get DH to do a SA too.

Maybe start with the progesterone, and if no luck with that try clomid, but it may be worth doing a bit of research on clomid before your appt just incase you are given the choice. Do you know what your progesterone levels were? Try to remember that a hormone issue is one of the easiest things to fix, and if there was something more serious then most things can be helped.

But you never know, AF still isn't here so it could be your month x

Mrs you will achieve nothing by stressing out either way, Tuesday is ever so close and I think you will get the help you need. Sorry you're having such a down day, tomorrow is another day though and it's another day closer to answers x
