@notyetamumbuttrying I’m doing ok actually! I met up with a friend who’s been through ivf yesterday and she made me feel much more positive about everything! 😊
I think it’s unlikely we’ll start on this cycle so I’m focusing on next cycle instead and looking forward to it! Although our blood screening will be out of date by next cycle so will have to arrange to get that done again before we start!

@crazycatlady1981 ah that's nice 😊
You never know though! When do you get to find?

@notyetamumbuttrying @Marvellouslymadmum I'm still going to wait for nhs appointment next month but have booed with raj rai for next month too as feel time is running out and have lost faith with nhs.

just got bloods back.

LH 4.4
FSH 5.4
OESTRADIOL/ eastrogen 126
PROGESTERONE 48

never had oestrogen before does anyone know if that is a good level?

@got2be I think that's normal, I know mine was 135 and I wasn't told it was abnormal although most of my readings were on the cusp!

@got2be not had that one tested before but all others look normal to me! You need to get amh next for your egg reserves and afc to count your follicles.

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying @Motherofkittens28 @crazycatlady1981

Final scan done this morn and all ready for Monday! 16 over 10mm but have 5 sat at 9mm which I'm hoping will join the collectible crew over the weekend. This is my chart

@got2be they look good! 👍🏻 Was it day 3 ones?
Just looked back at my results for day 3 and my oestrodial was 147 and it says that it should be between 45-854.

@notyetamumbuttrying no idea when we’ll hear anything! Waiting for Bath to get back to the satellite clinic fertility nurse to say that they have space for me! I think if we end up doing another cycle or FET, I will try arrange it through Bath directly! Having the satellite clinic as middle man has definitely set us back by a few cycles!! 🙄

@Crazydoglady123 ooh that’s brilliant! What’s the difference between red dots and blue dots on your chart?

@crazycatlady1981 blue is right ovary and orange is left ovary

@MIW01 @Marvellouslymadmum oh how weird, that’s a very small world indeed! I’m from not too far away and I’m between central London and Sidcup so I’m guessing they sent me to Sidcup because it’s a bit nearer?

The person from the hospital called my husband’s phone again today! Passed it to me and she confirmed the appointment again and how “the doctor wants to see you personally”. I’m wondering if the GP getting my results wrong is more serious to them than I realised.

I’m worried they’ll have a policy to be trying for three years so I will make sure to tell them we haven’t been using contraception longer than we’ve been trying.

@Motherofkittens28 @notyetamumbuttrying @crazycatlady1981 thanks just thought id ask as not done it b4.
yes they were day 3, having amh an fc count next week. had fc b4 but was a year ago was all good then so fingers crossed.

@Crazydoglady123 results look amazing!!

@got2be I think @Marvellouslymadmum had the ranges for Oestrogen.

@Aimzie my OH has been on Proxeed for about 2 months now and was on wellman before

@Crazydoglady123 they look like great sizes, a whole load above 16 which is the best place for them to be at this stage (or so my clinic told me). Keeping everything crossed for a really good number of mature eggs for you! You must be so pleased, I'm so glad you are getting such good results!

@Crazydoglady123 I bet they will! Great numbers hun 😀
@crazycatlady1981 remind me why that happened again? The satellite clinic.
@thislittlebird have you checked the CCG?
@got2be you're on a roll then!!

@notyetamumbuttrying I did a while back but I forgot what it said. We’re in the same one (lewisham and greenwich?), did they mention this to you?

@thislittlebird of course! Was thinking it was different because of sidcup for some reason. Yeah it's two years for unexplained but I think if you have an issue it's sooner.

@notyetamumbuttrying I think it’s called SE London CCG so it encompasses Bromley, bexley etc and so on so I suppose you can be referred to any hospital with an AC unit in that area. I don’t mind either way, Sidcup was fine when I had breast lump removal surgery there ten years ago. They were more than fine, they were really good.

I just checked the guidance (screenshot attached) so we should be good. We have double explained 🤪

@thislittlebird bloody hell 3 years! That so long! You're defo fine then. So pleased you're assigned somewhere and have an appointment imminently. Hope you can relax a bit now. I instantly relaxed once I got my appointment date through.

I've been doing some reading and it says that there's increasing rates of course taking 3+ years to conceive naturally with no known issues! I think the environment is just screwing us all over

@MIW01 how coincidental! I was born in west hill hospital dartford (not there anymore) just down the road!

Great news that it's only a 2 month wait for a lap! I'm dreading them telling me it's even longer than the gynaecology referal 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Aimzie my oh is on wellman conception, ubiquinol, vit b complex, c, d, e, magnesium, omega 3 and maca root. He was taking extra zinc but was told the max dose was in the wellman and not to take extra as it's bad for you. He also eats tangerines and drinks pomegranate juice too.

@got2be im going to see what happens with my gp chat Tuesday and go from there. Your Lh and fsh look good, my Lh is doyble my fsh which is not right! It says on mine that day 3 should be 114-332

@Crazydoglady123 woohoo all steam ahead for Monday for you then!! Hopefully you'll get lots of eggies!

@crazycatlady1981 it says on my results the oestrogen should be 114-332 on day 3 🤔

@thislittlebird I would think it's probably just so they can reassure you that everything is going to be done right now as you've complained

@Marvellouslymadmum think I'm talking to you on two different threads lol. fingers crossed your gp is more helpful than mines! thanks about lh/fsh and es.. sometimes i wish it would pick something up then at least i could find out why etc is taking forever im not sure and someone else will have more information then me but i think a higher lh could indicate pcos and read a lot of success stories about metformin.

@Crazydoglady123 wahoo. Monday finally! Took me a minute to get my head around the chart. 🤣
@notyetamumbuttrying lots of drugs there! Seems really real looking at that.
@thislittlebird 'see you personally' as opposed to what? You send a lookalike? 🤣 I suspect it's because you complained and that have to look to be taking it seriously. Not that there's something wrong.
@crazycatlady1981 I'm glad meeting your friend helped. Next cycle isn't too far away either. It'll go fast.

@got2be probably! I get confused which ones I've spoken to people on 😂 I thought that with pcos but the doc wasn't interested at all!
