Can you not convince your dh to have another go? You always have a shot at blue and remember you have been following the boy diet and that is a big sway factor, so that still counts irrespective of the number of attempts. I conceived ds2 ( I was not swaying at the time) with one attempt in the fertile window about 2 days before o. I had a very blue lifestyle at the time, which I did not know at the time! Good luck x

jenny I am in the uk. Firstly you need to have 21 day blood tests. Although called this as others have said they need to be roughly 6/7 days after ov, 21 days is besed on a perfect 28 day cycle. This will tell if you are ovulating or not. You may need to go back for 2 of these over 2 months. Next port of call is clomid. In the uk they seem reluctant to hand it out, mainly because unlike in the USA or elsewhere, clomid alone will not have you monitored with scans etc to check for follicle growth or to ensure no OHHS. You should get clomid no bother from a gp but they will usually only give you 3 cycles on it. After then unfortunately you need to refer for further testing usually at an assisted fertility unit where they can do scans, take further blood tests and discuss where to go next. If its a blockage on your tubes etc it can be treated. The main hurdle you may face is sadly, like me, you have children already and depending where you live etc you will not qualify for free treatment to conceive or IVF. Obviously if you need to go down one of the more extreme ways to conceive be prepared to have to pay privately Fingers crossed it wont come to that but just so your aware theres only so far you can go with the NHS when you have children already. IVF in the UK costs between 5-7k depending on why its needed and for me, if I'm paying that, I'm going abroad for PGD to get the sex I want. You cannot specify which sex you want over here as its illegal grrr......

I'm hoping it will be something simple sorted so go back, see another GP and say you don't think you are ovulating and you have been tracking it for months. Blood tests should be first then clomid if you are found to be not ovulating. If you are I'm afraid it will be a sperm count for your DH and a scan for you to check for anything abnormal physically. Don't just let them fob you off. all the luck in the world xxx

Thank u so much for all your advice! !
It is so great to 'talk ' to people who have gone through the same situation.

It sounds like a long process, but it will be my only option.

I know what you mean about already having kids, the doctors original sympathetic face vanished when I said I already have two sons. Could almost read his thoughts in a little bubble about his head!
"Well she already has two children, it's not as big a deal"

Anyway thanks for your help
Good luck to everyone else testing fx fx fx

I am just still in shock I guess. I've had the worst 3 days in history as far as stress goes and I'm ovulating now and not when I was cool/relaxed during the weekend? Just doesn't make sense. My body is all sorts of confused. Yes I have been following the boy diet but it's still so nerve wrecking... Your story about 2 days from o and still having a boy helps though..I'm going to try jumping hubby in the AM

This is not accurate. Progesterone levels should be tested 7dpo (that is when they peak), which varies a lot! That will be 7 days before your AF if you do have 14 days luteal phase, but in the case you don't then it is just wrong.

I just had progesterone tested today and it is CD24 for me. Doctors will like to see progesterone levels >10 in a normal cycle and >15 in medicated cycles (which is my case). I will have the results tomorrow! FX I ovulated and the precribed medication is working!

I think you should find another doctor if you don't feel confortable with this one...

Waste of time at gp!

He had no idea what he was doing! Spent most of the time trying to get me to order a book called 'understanding fertily ' he sat browsing through Amazon for 10 minutes looking for it!!!- even after I had told him I already understand my fertily.

He then looked through a doctor's book admiring the layout, and found something about testing progesterone.

He said to come back one week before my next period is due to test progesterone levels. Does anybody know if this sounds correct?

So stressed out!

Just wanted to add, that since yesterday I am having light cramps, and a lot of pain in my lower back and hips. Just reminded me I had this extreme hip pain the day prior to implantation bleeding on my first pregnancy. It was so bad I was having problems walking and had to take ibuprofen (in my mind that cycle was ruined because I BD 5 days prior to ov). I don't know if it was a pregnancy related symptom, I never thought about it like that... until yesterday!

I don't have AF cramps until the day before, and it's still a week until my period is due! I am hoping this is a good sign...

Anyone had cramps/ back pain around 6-7 dpo and then got a BFP?

[jennypenny]

Thanks! I plan to go and see a different doctor just to clarify everything and get things all sorted in my head!

Thanks everyone x

Maggie84 i experience the exact same thing, which I also did with my first child before bfp. Definitely think it's a good sign! I am 9 dpo and have had two temp rises since ovulation..

[Burakoam]

I don't know about cramps with implantation but I had god awful cramps at 3 am. I woke up to rock 9 month old back to sleep and as I laid in bed I would have swore AF was coming for a good 20 minutes .

I did manage to convince hubby but not sure it did any good since he wouldn't move cause he was tired so the best I got was me on top and now I'm laying in bed struggling to keep any in. Also sneezed like a minute after flipping in my back... TTC struggles...
