Thanks everyone, you've all made me feel so much better. I was feeling really guilty for secretly being glad dh had decided not to take them but now i've read some of your posts I realise that what I had thought was true - that lots of people chose not to take them and it's okay.
It's probably ...

Ah thanks you guys. I feel a bit better now - and have locked the frying pan away!! I also feel a bit guilty because I'm sure he's hurting too and they don't show it like us. Anyway, he's told me it's all okay because he's not going to take the malaria tablets (and had decided this today anyway ...

Hi Tessa,
I just wanted to say that although chlomid didn't work for me, it worked for my sister and she now has 3 beautiful girls!! the second two were normal conceptions too! However, the chlomid didn't work whilst she was on it but a month or so after she came off it and apparenty that's quite ...

I cannot believe what today has brought. Every day there seems to be another hurdle to cross, another setback. My husband is in the Army and is being sent abroad next week (only for 5 days) and has to take malaria tablets. I have just been told by my clinic that we will have to wait THREE CLEAR ...

Hi Clare
Thanks for taking the time to post a really interesting piece. I have "unexplained infertility" and am adamant that not enough is being done to find a reason. I feel like unless you come into one of their obvious categories they all too quickly just put it down as "unexplained". Like you ...

Thanks everyone, I knew I could count on you all! i am feeling much better about it and thanks Little P for the invite to the May thread, i'm sure I will take you up on it. i am glad I'm not the only one who found being told IVF was th next step hard - even though I was expecting it! I felt a bit ...

Hi guys, sorry haven't posted for a while but I had my consultation to see what happens next on Tuesday and have felt a bit of a misog and sorry for myself! :cry: :cry:
The appointment went fine and they recommended IVF (which we were expecting) which will start in May. I have felt really down ...

Hi Guys, interesting thread- for all you brave bunnies!! Did any of you see the last Precious Babies - that was about a woman who went abroad for it. She had to do it all over the phone and didn't even know if she had taken the drugs properly but hey ho - it worked!! lucky her! I have my appointment ...

Hi all, wondered if I could join this thread too. I have my consulation (for my first IVF i think) on 12th April. It's all very confusing so i'd be grateful for some support! not sure when I will start - i think end of april.

Thanks and best of luck to everyone xx

me 30, dh 33
3 unsuccessful IUI's ...

Hi all, wonder if you can help me. I am hopefully going to be starting IVF in May. Not wishing to be too pessimistic(!) but if it doesn't work, is it true that you have to wait about 5 months before you can have another try?
Not sure where I heard this but it's bugging me now so if anyone can help i ...

HI Staci, I read your message and it made me really sad becuase I know exactly how you feel. My sister in law and my best friend are both pregnant - i found out about my sister in law the day we found out our first IUI had failed and my best mate the day after! My other best friend fell a week later ...

Hi Smiler and welcome to the site! you will find so much information here and everyone is so lovely. I have found it fantastic and just wish i'd found it sooner!
I watched the programme also but it wasn't as relevant to me as the first one (about IVF) as that's what we're about to start. Saying that ...

Thanks for your advice. I must admit I was so sure IUI would work that perhaps I am a bit blinded by that. I know they are the experts but I always felt they did it too late.
Thanks for your help - certainly some food for thought.
Please don't be put off about posting your messages, i'm sure ...

oh bless you! that's really cheered me up and yes a piccie would be lovely! i have just been looking at puppies and I just want them all!! mind you, dh is only just coming round to one so perhaps I better tread carefully!! you are right about the fitness though- I joined a gym yesterday but whether ...

Thanks Lumi I think you are right about whatever makes you happy. Mind you , I also know what you mean about having a puppy and a baby - still, if it turns out that I get the puppy and then find i'm pregnant - that would be one sod's law I could live with!!!!!!!!!!!!!
