Hi ladies, hopefully some may find it helpful / interesting to follow us through the journey of ttc with medical help. Hope im not being to 'me me me' but i know i cant get enough of others stories. Anyways, here goes..
Today was our first appt at the infertility clinic, had no idea what to expect really and turned up with fresh shaven legs ( just in case!!) and a list of cycle dates for the past year. I had already had bloods done and hubby had been tested and all was ok for him. My bloods showed that I didnt ov that cycle.
So we met our dr who was a lovely lady and looked as though she had just left school ( maybe Im just feeling old!) she asked me loads of questions, have I had any pregnancies - yes, two children 11 and 7 and one early mc last year and all the usual health stuff, i wasnt weighed thank god. She then asked hubby all his stuff and we basically were told its not him ,its me, but we knew that anyway. Then she talked about my cycles, they are all over the place, ranging from 24 days to 31 through to the other extreme of 42. She said my blood results were not accurate enough so first step is to have those done again, its all really date specific, im to get them done between cd 2 and 4 of my next cycle, ( typical, just missed it for this one as on cd 6 now) . She then wants to scan me for ovary function, its a trans vaginal scan which they do from cd 12 right through until they see ovulation, could be interesting as I ovulate as late as cd 20 sometimes. I could have had the scans this cycle but there is no room, so have to be patient. Then we go back to get the results in april. So, basically we have one more cycle to go at it like rabbits
and then we get straight into the medical stuff next month.
We already decided that we will draw the line at too much intervention, I dont want to go through ivf as it is so stressfull and invasive that I know the effect on my kids wouldnt be good, hopefully we will get clomid and that will do the trick.
well, hope this has proved interesting to someone, anyone else going through similar stuff at the mo?
best of luck all you feb testers,
xx

) which feels old considering we started trying when I was 27.
surely they should do something now with it being nearly 2 years 
Have they even done any bloods? Maybe go see (another) different dr and demand bloods or something, I was in tears and begging for my dr to do some bloods or something and she did in the end....think she was just wanting me out of her office so did it to shut me up 
when she came out of the reception area DH actually said ''blo*dy nora she looks a dragon''.....his face when she called my name
