Sorry af got you, I know how you feel, I thought July was a great month for us, diet, exercise and timing of attempt but it never happened. My diet has been off the scale this week, though I have kept up with the exercise. I cannot decide if am kindof reacting against the diet as am annoyed that I have not got pregnant or if dime preconscious why, I think the diet is playing a part? I need pull the diet back as I will probably ovulate in about 5-7 days time. I also am wondering of the maternal condition at a certain point can effect gender choice at a later stage, so if I swayed hard before, it may not matter as much now. As I write it sounds silly. Off to try and sneak a coffee, my mum is here, I don't drink coffee at all but am doing it for my sway. I have stopped tea, which she is suspicious off already, because I live tea. If she catches me drinking coffee I don't know how I could explain that!
Are you getting another blood draw at day 21? I am because I want more evidence when I go for my infertility appointmrnt. My husband has to submit a sample as well, he is not happy but we are laughing about it! Xx

This month I decided - there's no way I am going to get in a state again lol

And yes with the roots, it's murder isn't it !

Hi Chick,

This is cycle 2 since my ectopic in May.
Having all you lovely ladies here at GD helps with the positivity too, so lovely that we all know what each other is going through and can support.

Your husband is not the only one.
We did the semen analysis last yearn and my other half was really not happy - I think he thought I was questioning his manhood or something.
When in reality it's just the hoops we have to jump through for NHS

Haha I know what you mean! I was like "at the end of the day we have two healthy sons, you will be fine! "

I would literally do any test required if necessary, men are wimps haha!
He is scheduling it for next week and has bought wellman conception pills to take his week lol! Obviously hoping to get the little guys bulked up a bit.

I have to get another blood test to look at all my other levels as my progesterone levels were fine. Which is surprising as I had 3 days of light spotting again before AF properly started today x

hahahah that is too funny about him trying to bulk them up
As soon as his test results come back saying he has excellent sperm, you will have to frame the results for him ;)

Have you had your clotting tests done by any chance ?
I had a letter this morning about being bordering deficient for Antithrombin III, which can lead to more miscarriages.

My GP did all the normal tests like you're having, but as an after thought got me in for the clotting profiles.
Might be worth mentioning.

Yeah he will be making it our Christmas card picture if it has impressive results lol!!.

I will mention that when I get my blood test done, they may as well do checks for that too using the same blood sample. I kind of thought they would check all my Levels last time but they seem to just check for whatever the gp has requested, in that case progesterone.

One thing I have learnt in all this, is that 'the squeaky wheel gets the oil' is totally the right saying lol
I had to call my GP and say "So...I've had MC, and problems concieving, all these tests say 'Normal' what else could it be"
So as an after thought he put in the clotting tests.

Same with when we were waiting to get referred for IVF appointment, it was taking ages.
So in the end I rang my GP every other day, even ended up faxing my own letter from the GP to the hospital, and then getting an appointment early.
Now if that attitude does not sway blue, then i don't know what does lol
Ooops

10 DPO today and I have resisted the temptation to test early for once, I even bought a 3 pack of FRER yesterday. The trigger shot should be out of my system by now so I think I will test tomorrow. My reasoning is if I show a faint line on Tuesday then I would test again Wednesday morning to see if it got darker to confirm that it was not just the trigger. And if it did get darker then I would get blood work Wednesday and then again Friday for Blood HCG results, that way we aren't left hanging over a weekend. Fingers crossed I get to see something on the test tomorrow, I would love to add a BFP to this 2WW thread.

When I had my recurrent miscarriage blood panel done a few months ago they took 6 different vials of blood, I guess different tests require their on vial of blood to do there testing. I wasn't expecting them to take so much. :)
