i think everyone is still asleep lol, except for us, so far!! i think we will need a new thread soon, this one is super long!!

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:27

Sweetheart i have been there back in March still waiting for the dye test to see if blocked due to endo and still waiting to have a laperoscapy (spelling?) was told 4 mth wait then told i was bumped of the list cause some dr was going overseas. Ausie health system for ya gave up still owe them money but they can stick it where the sun dont shine for all i care. Hence the reason i am seeing a natrapath in the mean time if my name is called i will be there in a flash.
Its feels good to know that there is light around the corner though doesnt it hope you dont have to wait long. Dh never did his test so really keep on your man to do his. Dh is taking zinc just in case. Angus Cactus would really help with oving so maybe take that until you get your appointment.

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:32

Think i might actually go to bed tonight b4 11.
Hope you all have a great day and evening and noone (including me) have a visit from that B#&ch AF. Good luck Sallie hope it doesnt hurt too much, just keep reminding yourself that it will help you conceive.

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:34

I meant Shely sorry Iam really tired suprised i can remember my own name!!!

hester · 20/10/2004 13:35

I've started to keep a pad with me when I read this thread, so I can note down things I need to reply to - otherwise I can't remember, it's just soooo long!! (Admit it, ladies; we are the most rockin thread on Mumsnet right now.)

Shely - I have the exact same problem. It has worried me a fair bit over the years, because theory no fertile CM = no baby. BUT the fact that you are getting wet may well be good enough; I do the same and have read that fertile CM can also be thin and watery, and isn't always the classic eggwhite stuff. ALSO I have a number of friends who swear they never had eggwhite either and who got pg perfectly quickly and easily. If it takes you ages to get pg you could talk to your doctor about the possibility of IUI (intracervical wouldn't be good enough) but until you reach that point you could try the robitussin, grapefruit juice, starflower oil and drinking loads of water - all these are supposed to improve your CM. I try all these in theory, but often forget (cough syrup four times a day? I'm not nearly that organised).

Jeddah - hope you have a great break. I think your husband's got a really good point. When I used to work in infertility clinics there used to be a lot of talk about people who got so hung up on getting pg that they would try to pinpoint ov and only BD then, the result being that they were not giving themselves nearly as many 'chances' as if they were just having happy carefree sex throughout the month. On the ohter hand, many of us don't have the energy or opportunity for sex every 48 hours, and it would be daft to be pushing ourselves into it at times of the month when it is almost guaranteed not to succeed. I think there's a happy medium which is to try to have sex every 48 hours during the week when you are most fertile.

Moschops - hi and welcome

Tania - so sorry to hear that the witch af is on her way to you . Much love and chocolate to you.xx

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:36

Good night girls
blows a big kiss waving bye bye*

SHELY · 20/10/2004 13:36

thanks for the reply. that's awful to make you wait so long. totally sucks! well, i hope when you do have your tests, everything comes out a-ok, and if not, i hope that flushing you out, with the dye, can rid you of any problems, not allowing you to conceive then it's totally worth the little pain ya know. the end result, will be sooo much better, that's whats holding me together!! hugs out to you!! i wish you only the best!! i'll let you know how it goes!!

runtus · 20/10/2004 13:37

Hi guys - sorry been a bit swamped at work today.....crap I know.

I feel a bit bad for slaggin off my GP now, cos he seems to be doing things quickly compared to some of your experiences. I don't see why you should have to wait 3 or 4 months for an appointment, thats just awful! Having said that, S/Heart we are in the same neck of the woods so maybe I shouldn't count my chickens too early.....

I can't wait for my dp to be handed a little pot to 'fill', I might just wet myself laughing!

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:40

Hester you are going to get a complex from me i always seem to be going to bed when you come in to chat. How rude of me

hester · 20/10/2004 13:40

Shely, yes I've had the hysterwhatsit. It's not that bad, honestly - uncomfortable and a faintly unpleasant feeling, but I am the world's biggest wimp and it was really nothing to complain about it. Perhaps about the same level of discomfort as having a filling (a normal one, not a root!) I was advised to take some painkillers before I went, and I think that helped.

I have heard that it can help you conceive right afterwards, though I don't know the evidence for this. I think the theory is that if you have any bits of debris hanging round your tubes it can help flush them out...

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

sweetheart · 20/10/2004 13:41

Thanks Tania.

They wanted to send me a letter about the scan appointment but seeing as I'm on cd28 now and af is just round the corner I held up a long queue while they gave me the details there and then - that way I can ring them and try and get an apt straight away when af arrives.

I do feel better but at the same time i really hope it doesn't drag on for another 3 months. I can't go back and see the Dr until I've had this scan done so it all depends on that at the moment.

I really hope the herbs have worked for you Tania - I have a good feeling about you!!!

SHELY · 20/10/2004 13:41

thanks hester! i will try what you said to do. glad to hear i am not the only one. i have heard such freakish things as putting, real eggs on to the tip of the penis to mimic that fertile mucus, which i think for sure, would be a huge turnoff to the hubby! not to mention, to me!! and what about salmonala?? i think i'll stick to the traditional. thanks for the heads up!!

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:43

Thanks S/heart i wish i had that good feeling just really confused after the BFN this morning...
Sounds like you wont have to wait long then until they get the ball rolling for you fingers crossed you dont have a long wait. nothing worse.

SHELY · 20/10/2004 13:45

hester- iam going to be bd-ing this guy to death, during my fertile time this month. i don't care if he's tired from work, or has a headache (lol), he's gonna make a deposit every day, whether he likes it or not. god, iam sooo bad. catch you all later after my hsg!!

Tania2 · 20/10/2004 13:45

Have to go to bed girls
Good night.

onamnbreakbut · 20/10/2004 13:46

Tested today and was a bfn, not surprised really as not due till Sunday and was a normal test.
Ive got really sore boobs now and very headachey, but generally that feeling of being so posotive i was preganant has just flown out of the window when i saw the result. Feel tearfull now which is unusual, pregancy hormones ? Or just really want another more than i thought

sweetheart · 20/10/2004 13:46

Runtus,

I'm glad your GP is better than mine!!!! I'm covered by Surrey so my appointment was as "Grimley Dark"!!!!!!

I guess yours would be at the hospital near the WB cinema. You should expect the same test though - it seems i'm not ovulating (well not properly anyway) aswell.

sweetheart · 20/10/2004 13:49

Oh god I've just had a really terrible thought!!!!! What if none of the testers this weekend get a BFP. What happens to this extra fertile thread then?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

onamnbreakbut · 20/10/2004 13:50

Sweetheart im a grimley dark patient too but i love it there

SHELY · 20/10/2004 13:55

hey onamnbreakbut, i was in your boat last week! all of the symptoms, hoping for the best, and a bfn! i was crushed to, so don't worry, you can test again in a few days, and if your not pg, you got other girls here, including me, in your boat, for yet another cycle! and trust me i know the dissapointment, it totally sucks. keep the faith it will happen!! later gators!!

onamnbreakbut · 20/10/2004 13:57

Ahhh thanx Shely, im just so posotive this month. Daft cow that i am cos i know we all are arnt we posotive we are pregant i mean

sweetheart · 20/10/2004 14:02

oamnbb,

we were trying to guess who you were yesterday - I've settled with cp3 - am i right, am i, am i, am i?????????

runtus · 20/10/2004 14:08

I am at the new hospital outside of town, so not sure if that is the one you mean? You know I have no idea where I live!

hester · 20/10/2004 14:09

Tania, I'm very thick-skinned and was blithely assuming you loved me to bits!

Sleep tight!

sweetheart · 20/10/2004 14:10

hee hee!!!! You do make me laugh!!!!!!

Not sure about the hospital thing - I'm not familiar with it. I definatly think you'll come under a different one to me though.
