Ridgeway- that certainly sounds like implantation bleeding. I think it might be too early to test? Good luck though, it sounds very promising.

Kurama- I'm pleased your IUI went well. How are you feeling now? Has the pain stopped?

Nothing to report at my end. I'm on CD18 but I'm not holding my breath as we didn't manage to DTD at the right time. I'm trying to persuade DH to go & get Viagra from his GP. Alas, I'm not having a lot of luck :(

I ring up again just trying to get a general app and they do a phone call consultation. To which the dr refused to give me any info on the phone! I ring the consultant and shes on hol till next week and the other receptionist wont give me any info saying is data protection! I can access my bank online I should be able to access my results online too!! What if I have another cist?? What if there is a problem and we have already dtd? Why do they put couples througj this there is no guidance or support being on fertility treatment Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad Angry Sad

ridgeway can't you see another dr as an emergency?

sharond101 · 07/08/2014 12:15

YOu should say it's an emergency as there is a chance you might be pregnant. They have an obligation to see you within 48hrs.

StoneBaby · 07/08/2014 14:10

They can't tell you they have something important to advise you off and then let you wait 2 weeks! Can another GP see you? Is there a walk in session? Can you camp in the waiting room? Or go to the Directorate and complain?

sharond101 · 07/08/2014 15:31

Ask to speak to the practice manager - they have power!

ridgway28 · 07/08/2014 16:35

Sharon just got of the phone after seeing ur post! asked to speak to the practice manager and the reception asked for my name! she then said there is nothing the manager can do! they cant changr the book system to fit me I will just have to wait like everyone else does! she was quite rude and refused to put me through saying she doesnt have time to deal with petty calls when im not serioulsy ill Angry

sharond101 · 07/08/2014 16:58

That is shocking ridgeway. What scan results is it? I guess if they are not too concerned about u waiting for the results it cannot b something really serious or that would interfere with a pregnancy if you told them you were receiving treatment.

StoneBaby · 07/08/2014 17:42

Find an email address and email the practice manager. Complain about the way the receptionist spoke to you and ask if at least you can see your gp to know why they want to see you!

kurama how are you today?

kurama · 07/08/2014 23:05

Ridgway no point asking for bloods as I only had them done week and half ago. I'm still spotting and had badish cramping that lasted just over an hour. But I think I'm gonna start testing on wed. I'm hoping it could be ib as doc said she thinks I ovd last wed/ thurs.....

ridgway28 · 08/08/2014 08:12

karma will doGrin
Sharon it was cd10 scan on my ovaries the women said I have 11 18/25 folicals on my left and 5 on my right and both had smaller ones said they were good and healthy!! which is why im so worriedSad I already new I was ovulating as I have them early so we have already done the deedSad

ridgway28 · 08/08/2014 09:22

Well that was a waste on the nhs time. Finally get an appointment with the gp to be told to refrain from having sex as there are so many folicals! I said its too late for that now! And defo yoo late to be told that in 2 weeks time. I ovulate before the scan! To which she said oh that must havr been painful you havr a 44mm cist too!! GgrrAngry Angry Angry Angry

kurama · 08/08/2014 10:19

well that sucks ridgway. im waiting on call from doc this morn as its gone from spotting to light flow. just like 2 weeks ago. Angry I hate my bodyAngry Angry Angry

ridgway28 · 08/08/2014 11:03

I having a break next month if its not worked this month I can deal with itAngry Angry when I have my 21 day blood test if I asked the nurse to do hgc test do u think sge will or do they need premission of the dr? or is it too early to test for hgc in blood on day 21?? Wink

LondonSuperTrooper · 08/08/2014 12:36

OMG what is happening with Ridgeway & Kurama?!

Ridgeway, is there a treatment for the cyst?

Kurama, I'm not sure what to say but good luck!

Hi to everyone else.

sharond101 · 08/08/2014 13:26

Oh ridgeway I cannot believe they let you go ahead with 16 follicles that is nonsense?!!! My clinic abandon at 4!

sharond101 · 08/08/2014 13:31

Why didn't the person scanning you not know how to advise you? I would complain about this big time ridgeway, its clinical negligence!

LAM1 · 08/08/2014 13:56

On a day off and just caught up with all the messages, am trying to keep away as am not sure it helps my mood - well it does but I need to focus of other stuff.

Ridgeway, you docs are shocking. Can't believe how many hoops you had to jump through to get an appointment. Which really they should have made for you straight away. Docs can be so infuriating!!

My day 28 bloods were as low as my day 21, so start round 2 tomorrow....Can't see it working as round 1 had no effect. But they want round 2 at the same dose before they up it...
