Hi all thanks for the welcome. Took a few days out to try and cheer up, sort of worked. Now only cry a couple of times a day, rather than a couple of times an hour.
@mireflores81 sadly not. I live in Essex, and as others may have mentioned, in an unexplained situation, they will not pay for any treatment until we have been trying for three years. If we absolutely stretch how long we have been trying it will be two years in March, so I would be nearly 39 by the time we are entitled to anything. In principle we could just keep trying until then, but we know that if it ends with IVF the success rate goes down, so we don't really want to leave it that long. I'm also hoping that going down the private route might throw up an issue the NHS don't test for (wishful thinking I am sure).
On the HSG, we were referred for that by the NHS gynaecologist that our GP referred us to. I thought it was one of those 'hospital things' not a GP referral thing.
@blueberry1 sorry to hear this is causing issues with your OH. Does he understand how you feel, but just feels differently?
I had a very odd period last month, spotting spread out over several days and then only dark brown bleed, not a proper period, so I was relieved things went back to normal this month (albeit two days earlier than I thought, because i don't think i calculated my cycle properly last month as the period was so odd). Currently on CD 8.
I would love a Christmas surprise but OH has come down ill this week, so we've only managed once and I think was just on five days out from ovulation so probably a bit too early, and I'm not sure that we'll manage it again.
That said, bar one month when he had to go away for work, we've done exactly what we should do in FW every month this year and it still hasn't bloody worked...
I have decided to see an osteopath about my back problems. I've previously seen a physio but nothing really helped. Very mixed views on whether this could help but probably more helpful than reflexology or buying a spell which obviously I have never done
