Came home ill from work and will stay off tomorrow -too fed up to deal with my own problems and hyperactive teenagers, i know i'm naughty.

Came home and done all ironing, dishes, evening meal and even mopped kitchen floor and i think that finally Af is amost here properly! How funny that amongst all the misery i actually have something small to look forward to - using me CBFM for cycle 2 and another chart to set up on FF!

OOh while i was typing this the post arrived and my next lot of B6 arrived. I have also ordered loads of folic acid as OH is going on it this month - come on super swimmers!

OMG FF has changed it back now i have full flow so did i OV on day 15 or 17? How dare it mess with my head!!!
Going the docs 5.30 tonight to ask about spotting/B6/progesterone levels - he probably won't want to know at the end of a busy day. Going to say i'm nearly 36, no kids, 1 early MC, got the CBFM, temp, have been on holiday and tried the relaxed approach and i get 5/4 days spotting before AF around 10/11 Dpo. As soon as i get the spotting i know it's over, how unfair is that!

What i want is CD21 blood test at the very minimum, a U/S and thyroid check would also be appreciated. This would keep me away from the surgery for a month or two.

Have i missed out anyting?

Aww, sorry that the arrived hun.

Sounds like you've got your doc's appointment well covered -- I can't think of anything you're missing ... just go in and demand the tests that you want I say!

Yaya xxx

Hope ur doc is better than mine and gives u some answers - there are too many docs that just fob people off these days with stupid answers - think they just don't know what they're talking about!

Stand your ground, good luck, keep us posted, sorry got u xx

CD1
Back from docs (forgot to ask about upping the VitB6 so just going to anyway). Firstly as soon as i opened my mouth i started blubbing (OH was with me and he said it is because i bottle it all up until i have to talk about things).Told doc about spotting and he didn't think it was a problem and i could see he was wondering why i was there. I told him that by 9/10DPO it's all over for another month because spotting tells me so. I said it could be low progesterone and he said they they used to give it to women but he didn't want to but i said i didn't want medication unless there was something wrong. I explained about MC and then he was going on about the fact that i got pg so quickly is very positive (arrgghhh - if it had lasted yes!) I told him about all the stuff i use (not my kinky toys). I said i had read that early MC can be due to low Progesterone.Threw the old i'm nearly 36 and this will be our first and didn't know what else to do.
Then i was about to give up and he started explaining about the CD21 test! So i'm having that (actually on CD22 but that should be 7DPO hopefully!). I don't quite know how we got there in the end - just remembered that while i was blubbing again OH was very good and said we didn't want to keep on TTC and find out further down the line that there was something wrong and something could be done about it! He might have said other things but i was blubbing -it could have been him that prompted doc to help!
Anyway I'm going on. Wwish i could have recorded it for you all!

Oh I'm so glad you've got the CD21 Tst hun!! Doctor's can be very patronising...I should know...my doc is my DH's best friend and I could strangle him sometimes!!!!

Can't wait to hear the results of the test and see what comes of it!!

Take care hun!!

He's a GP. At one point he was telling me how when the baby implants the new placenta takes over the hormone production - I was saying but mine won't implant as it's breaking down so early (well that's what i thought was happening). He said he was always explaining this to his wife who is a midwife.
OMG was trying hard not to think i know better than him
