@Yutes could they give you any inclination or idea? Did you get any next steps like a phone call with a dr? Sorry it wasn't the outcome you were after!

Sent my AMH bloods off and patiently awaiting my results 😬

AF due 24th for me so few days to go before it's here.

No further ahead with our plan as NHS discharged us before giving us our follow up apt so been on the phone to them to and fro for the last 2 days and finally got an apt but not till the 9th of March. Just feel like everything is on a go slow and having a right down day ☹️

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker indeed it is! I won't give you the old cliches as I'm sure you know them already. Just that we're here x
@Hayley19835 yay to moving forward. I should be getting mine checked at my feb appointment. How you feeling symptom wise? 24ths not too far away now...I know it's on a go slow but you are moving forward. My feb appointment was given in December and I was gutted it was so far away but now jans nearly over so it will come round before you know it! X

@notyetamumbuttrying I did mine through an online company did my finger prick test at home and sent the blood to them all for £79 so pretty simple.
Zero symptoms at present so could go either way really 🤷‍♀️
Been waiting since November so feels like it's been an age! Every month that goes by I feel like I'm wasting more time. But as you say January is nearly over 🎉🎉 x

@Hayley19835 please do let us know how you get on with the test, I was thinking of doing that and the male sperm tests this way, I'm not sure what others are available but it seems a good start without having to go to a clinic at this time and a bit more reasonable too 😊

@Marvellouslymadmum I will do. They do all the fertility bloods for us ladies and some tests for men xx

@Hayley19835 oh that's really good to know! I'll definitely look into those then, were you able to look at reviews of them or anything? Xx

@Marvellouslymadmum yea all on the website I'll post the link for you. @Narwhal88 posted the link back on the thread somewhere aswell xx

@Hannah154 oh brilliant thank you! I didn't realise it had been posted earlier

@Hayley19835 I know what you mean about it feeling like you're just wasting time! Feels doubly bad for me at the moment as I turn 35 in March, really wanted egg collection done before then but then when I got the date through for the 22nd feb I was devastated cos I knew I'd have my bday first. Ah well!
Hope you get a nice surprise next week!

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker I also get mild cramping around day 20 onwards until af appears, but with the addition of spotting too! Although the acupuncture has definitely helped with the spotting and I barely got any last month! I think it’s balanced my hormones a bit! Still getting the cramping though! 😕

@Hannah154 I’ve ordered my FSH test from Medichecks this week! 😊 it looks fairly straightforward! Af due 27/28th!

Hi everyone 🙂 hope it's ok to join. I'm on month 13 and cycle 15 of ttc #1. Have suspected endometriosis too

Only that I’ve to wait til CD42 and if no period, then induce one and continue with letrozole. It’s fine. It’s only my first month. I was naively thinking that it would work first time round.

Hi everyone

Hope it's ok to join. We have been trying for no3 for around a year. I had 3 miscarriages in the last year. I have a referral to recurrent miscarriage clinic.

Sore boobs ✔
Bloated ✔
Cramps ✔
Spotting ✔
Migraine ✔

Af appears to be on her way. Again 😠

God this shit is exhausting!!!

@Dogmum13 hi, welcome! Have you been given any treatment plans or is it continue trying naturally?
@Yutes oh I see. Well good you have a plan in place then, good luck!
@krj2688 yes, please join! Sorry to hear about the miscarriages that must've been hard! I'm glad you've got a referral now. 
@RobinRose sorry the witch appears to be on her way! When are you due on?

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm 28 so had to wait a year before my gp would even consider doing anything unfortunately. Going next week for day 21 bloods and awaiting SA for my partner

Can anyone recommend any good vitamins that are easy to swallow or tell me which are the most important ones to take if I was to buy them separately?

@notyetamumbuttrying Tomorrow! So I guess the🧙‍♀️ could come anytime between now and Sunday? I plan on eating my weight in chocolate over the weekend! Going to treat myself to some new lingerie too 😁

@Dogmum13 hello 👋! Do you take anything at the moment?

@Dogmum13 they think I might have endometriosis too, got another internal ultrasound 13th Feb, awaiting hysocosy and camera to assess what's going on, possibly have pcos as well and OH has reduced sperm count. I take Holland and barratt her conception as has iron, folic acid, and full complement of vitamins (including vitamins d) but is a bit big and on occasion crumbles if you're not careful when you take it out if blister pack but it means I only have to take one a day instead of like 3.

I had my AMH done at clinic but not got a follow up appt yet and no date for my investigations as the stopped for 6 months last year with covid so can't predict when it will be. Think I'll be better of not knowing until see consultant again as if its low and I can't move forward I think I'll find it so much harder to keep positive as not been my usual happy self completely for so long since this HTC journey started 😔
