Really hope the tests find a solution for you Dizzy and your BFP is at hand :) In the meantime I hope you are enjoying your new house and wedding planning and have a great holiday!

DizzyN - how are you getting on? i think you were right to take the appointment.But maybe let them know it was earlier than needed? I know she wouldnt, she wasnt trying and still on the pill, but it took years to fall with her DD as she has PCOS, She was worried having 2 under 2 and i think she put too much stress on herself and sadly lost the baby at the weekend the scan showed that the baby was already gone. Glad youre getting on well in the house!!

Boris i hope youre enjoying your holiday

Magpie - im trying to get my DD out of night time nappies again, shes been out them a few times then something happens and she goes back this time was the pox, but im just leaving her until shes ready

Rainy - hope the appt goes well hun, ttc mucked up my cycles!! but glad yours are back to normal

xx

Dizzy i know how you feel about loosing hope!!, hopefully one day it will happen

I got on ok at my appointment, I'm having a HyCosy next cycle, she wants to rule out a a blocked tube and iv been given more clomid and to go back in 6 months time to get the ball rolling for ivf!!

Rainy Good luck with the HyCoSy next cycle. It is so hard to stay motivated so I really hope your appointment did help.

DizzyN Sorry about the babybomb, family ones are so hard (well, I've found). Great news though about the house move going well and hopefully all will work out fine with the timing of the blood tests. How long are you off to Spain for? Sounds like it should be a lovely holiday.

Boris Hope you're enjoying your holidays - a week of camping sounds lovely (though I hope you had a comfy bed!)

Magpie The wedding organising has been such a nightmare - it definitely was a laugh or else you'll cry situation. However at the end of the week we had a bit of a breakthrough, and after seven months of head-wrecking bureaucracy we've actually been given the green light My embassy had to get involved so who knows what got said but it seems to have worked! I hope all is well with you?

Kellz Really sorry to read about your friend, what a terrible time for her. Good luck with the potty training - hopefully it will all be sorted before your new arrival.

No news from me, just an embarrassing story when I was at the doctor's last week and there was crossed wires and translation issues and I ended up taking off my knickers for no apparent reason At least we both laughed!

genghis thank you. day time was easy but shes not willing for night yet. will get there when she was ready.

Lol ooops glad you both laughed!

just had my scan so due date has moved closer!

hope youre all well xxx

Rainy good luck for the HyCoSy not fun but good to do.

Gengis I think these days if I meet anyone medical I automaticallly take my pants off too. It's reflex after infertility tests.

Rainy a 28 day cycle is definitely something to celebrate! All the best for the procedure, is that the one where some women are a bit more fertile afterwards as a side effect?

DizzyN I hope you managed to get the timing of your blood tests figured out and that you're having a great holiday! Sorry about the baby bomb, there never seems to be any justice to them.

Genghis does that mean you've set a date for the wedding? Very exciting times for you! I'm laughing quite a bit at your underwear mix up. How's things otherwise?

Magpie yeah my consultant said that some ladies end up pregnant a couple of months afterwards, fx. how are you?

Boris thanks, il make sure i book the day off work, don't think id want to go to work on that day, how is things with you?

Kelz glad scan went ok nice to see you on here xx

Rainy Thank you - hope the procedure goes well!!

Hope everyone else is ok

xx

Rainy - definitely a duvet day needed after the HyCoSy - it's not plesant although mine wasn't painful it was uncomfortable and undignified. Worth doing though to find out more.

All good with me - 24 weeks now - scary but if I have the baby this early they will fight to keep it alive and it has a chance.....

Boris - times flying!! glad all is well xx

Boris V day! That's a great milestone, hope it's all going well.

Rainy that sounds positive, fx for you! I'm okay thanks, I have a cold but well otherwise (and DH always suffers a lot more than me when I'm ill, I'm one of those rare women who gets man flu).

Well, good news. AF came early on Tuesday which means my blood test was well timed in the end. If I hadn't pushed and had the test early though I would have had the test on the same day as AF!! So this means I could potentially have my cd3 bloods tomorrow if GP's have a free appointment! Will call them in the morning.

Yes the babybomb sucks, although I've gotten over it already. I did get my nose rubbed in it again though when my old boss announced on FB that his DP is expecting now too.......according to him they didn't want any children. Ugh.

How does the hycosy differ to hsg? I thought hsg checks for blocked tubes? I've been trying to book my hsg appointment but they never pick up the phone and haven't returned my calls yet. I hope I can get it booked before going to Spain on Monday.

genghis great news about getting your wedding authorised! We've decided to put ours off until 2018 now. Getting our garden landscaped next year is more important! Lol.

Gonna try the hospital again now, wish me luck!

DizzyN Was lucky you booked your blood tests early and i hope they have a free appt for tomorrow!!!

Sorry about feeling low for the babybomb! however an announcement after you know they dont want a baby really sucks!!

Hope you get your appt booked before you go away, enjoy your holiday!

Do you have a date in 2018 in mind for your wedding?

xxx

Not yet kellz. We'll probably see how next year goes money wise and then figure things out.

Managed to get through to the clinic yesterday, I can expect to receive a letter from the X-ray dept soon with details of the hsg appt so I don't know the date yet.

I've got too much to do today in preparation for the holiday so I'm going to leave cd3 bloods for next cycle. I'll book it in advance once I know when Af is due rather than chancing a last minute appointment.

Hope you're all well!

DizzyN HSG is done by X-ray / radiation and HyCoSy by ultrasound. Both involve pumping dye through you to check tubes.

I'm glad your blood tests and other tests are proceeding....

Have a great holiday!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the silence - we've had visitors over and I have also been manically organising our wedding for this week (it's a quiet affair but still a bit more organising than I'd like).

DizzyN Great news about your blood tests and finally getting through to the hospital. Hopefully you won't have too long to wait for your appointment. Ha about the garden taking precedence - I like your thinking! Enjoy your holidays!

Boris that's great news about making 24 weeks! And I was glad to read I'm not the only knicker dropper around here :)

Rainy Good luck with the HyCoSy - it seems like my experience was very much like Boris' - not painful just rather undignified.

Magpie I hope you're on the mend? All is well with me but feeling really awful in the mornings, which was fun to try and hide from our visitors!

Kellz Glad the scan went well! Did your date change by much?

DizzyM Hope you're keeping well!

hope you're all doing well. Just been really busy here so not had the time to read/post.

Dizzy glad the bloods are out of the way. Hope you get your appointment through quickly. Enjoy your holiday.

Rainy hope the HyCosy goes well.

Magpie hope you're feeling well now. Colds are no fun at all!

Boris 24 weeks?? The time seems to be flying. So pleased all is going well for you.

Kellz I'm glad your scan went well. Nice to see you on here again.

Ghengis you're getting married this week?! How exciting, eek. Every dr or hospital appointment I take it to be an invitation to drop my knickers! Even did it for a externalscan

No news here. AF is due on Thursday/Friday and will definitely be coming as we've been crap at dtd again. Think DH is sticking his head in the sand about it all and we've not spoken again about going for IVF but I'm actually getting a bit fed up with it all and so close to giving up

Thanks everyone, so i had a 28 day cycle last month and this month is 21, does not make sense, anyway that means i have been able to book my Hycosy and having it done next Wed,

That is strange Rainy but at least you have been able to book the HyCoSy. Are you still on clomid? Just wondering if that has affected your cycle length (not that I have a clue :))

Lovely to hear from you DizzyM Yes, the big day is on Thursday - eek indeed! Sorry to read that you're feeling fed up with it all. It's all just so crap. Sounds like you need to have another proper chat though I know it's easy for me to write that - I just don't want you to give up, especially after you'd started the ball rolling with the IVF xx

Rainy was your test today or next wednesday? Hope it went ok if today.

Genghis congratulations on the wedding! So exciting! I hope the day went wonderfully and you weren't feeling too rough. Tell us all about it!

Rainy hope the hycosy went well/goes well! It's such a pain when cycles are all over the place. Hopefully you'll have answers soon.

DizzyM I hope AF stayed away anyway? Maybe time for a chat with your DH about what the plan is? It must be stressful for both of you and I bet he's thinking/worrying about it too.

DizzyN did you get your blood tests done before your holiday? Hope you're having a lovely time!

I've had a rough couple of days, been told that I have to go for a fetal heart scan next week as having the GD start so early means there's a risk of heart defects. That was a bit of a shock so 20 week scan on Monday and heart scan on Thursday (it's at the big hospital in the city rather than my local one where my scans usually are). Apparently pregnancy is going to be about as straight forward for me at TTC was, I get very jealous of people (like my best friend) who conceive easily and have a straight forward time after that.
Sorry for the depressing post!

Ghengis i have not been on clomid for a couple of months , so not sure if its upset my cycles, hope you are ok?

Boris my test is on Wednesday, will be glad to get it over and done with. how are you getting on?

Magpie thank you, sorry to hear you are going through a rough time, sending you positive vibes xx

Hey, just wondering if there is room for one more one this bus! I was on the bumsnet buses for what seems like a lifetime ago, have since lost my log in and can't remember the email I used.

Still TTC think its going on for cycle 18/19 (maybe more!!) I was frogbubbles xx

Frogbubbles I remember you :) welcome back :)
