Hi all

Still no af so it looks as though I will be more of a MayCB than April......its because I have low progesterone. I tend to go 2 cycles no probs and then 3rd drags on forever, problem is that was the last cycle so I thought I'd be this time around...........you never can tell. I have decided ...

Hi All

It looks as if I may be very behind you all...............af is late so this delays my downregging date until late April. I've got the back ache but I dont know if this is cos I'm stressed at work (coursework deadline for 6 groups this week!) or af. Oh well, at least the kids who are late ...

Good luck for tomorrow. We were both nervous about our appointment last week. We had a list of questions that helped us ensure that we got all the info we needed. The whole thing took 2 hours but it is good to talk through everything, after all its a major thing. I did feel that DP was left out a ...

Hi All

Gem - Billy Bragg was quite good actually. He did not do to much politics so that was OK. He does tell a good story, the best one being about Norwegian Heavy Metal club............we are thinking of holidaying in Norway this year so might go there! Feeling fat - a pound is nothing - we all ...

Glad I'm in the right place and delighted that others are on same time scales as us.

Traci, as a teacher sore throats and colds are common place - the best remedy I have found is Strepsils extra strong and that new Lemsip that you put straight on your tongue. Mind you since I've been on these Dr ...

Hi Carol

We are in the same situation but we have our pre-treatment info session tomorrow after waiting for a short time. Like you we were scared stiff at first about what would happen. This site has been very reassuring and I certainly know a lot more about what to expect through reading the ...

Hi Nicola

I have low progesterone levels which means that I dont always ovulate apparently and DP has poor morphology which at last count was 5%. He has good motility and count but they are mishapped! So between the two of us, chances of conception naturally are not good.

We do generally eat a ...

I did ask my DP as promised................the answer was no as expected however, with our funding now approved and our pre-treatment information appointment next week he might change his mind but I doubt it.

Sorry :(

Love

I know the feeling......................but getting my DP to talk to me about it at times is difficult. He has read some of the topics on the male discussion board on Fertility Friends as I have copied them to him but he would not log on for himself. I'll have a word with him and see if he will chat ...

:( so sorry that your last hopes have faded. Don't think that you have let anyone down. Look on it as a step forward - it was a positive and now you and the CRM can look at how you can go on from here and make the next attempt give you the perfect outcome.

Take care of yourself and DH.

Love ...

Jackie

I am so disappointed for you :( . Try to stay positive - it is a sort of step forward from where you were before although I am sure that is not a huge consellation at this time.

You never know we might end up cycling together next time around.

Take care and enjoy Valentines with your DH ...
