have they said how long it will take to get your appointment through? like you say it is positive that they are dealing with it for you - i am sure you will get your really soon.
did they do a scan etc?

Hiya

Let me know how your appointment goes today.

It could be anywhere in the next 12 weeks, waiting for a phone call from the hospital with a date....hopefully it will be sooner rather than later a i want it out the way

I have had a scan a few months ago to check ovaries for PCOS, they didnt see anything so hopefully they wont find that, just could be endometrosis which doesnt show up on a scan and they are checking if my tubes are blocked too, glad that they are doing it now but just a bit worried in case they find something worse than i think it is.

Fingers crossed if they do find endo its a mild level of it and they will try and burn the cells off there and then which can help you get a BFP, they will grow back but should help for a few months in getting a BFP.....pregnancy is the only cure for it appartently

My cycle is going okay thanks, just trying to stay positive... if we dont get PG soon i will have to get checked out - i think its about 1 yr of no BFP and then they recommend you go to GP. so we have 3 months left to go.....

So hun, what makes them think u might have Endometriosis?? what symtpoms have u been getting??

hope ur ok

Hey Nicola

Glad everything is going ok for you think month, so hoping you get a BFP, anyone i talk to that gets a BFP gives me lots more hope!!
Yer maybe you should go soon as they take long to do anything so it might be worth you going and telling them you've been ttc a year already, at least then they might do the smaller checks like if you are def ovulating and check his spermies, that way you know those things are ok

I have a lot of pain during and after sex, its been really bad the past few months and when i was on the pill they had to change it a lot because i was bleeding through the month on some and stuff so they starting looking into everything....now they have done scans and cant see cysists on my ovaries or womb they think it might be endo which you have to have a camera put in you to see, so thats next, then they will check my tubes arent blocked at the same time....so hopefully if i do have it they will help remove some cells (endo) and should be easier for me to get a BFP o they will tell me i have bigger problems to worry about....but i'm hoping its the first and not the second thing

fingers crossed then hun. I don't know anything about endo but hopefully if that is what it is then it will be easily rectified and your BFP will be just round the corner.
will let you know about my apt - am armed with questions!!!!

Its funny you should say that cos my OH has been saying the same thing - telling me to go docs anyway and tell them we have been TTC for a year so it gets the ball rolling... i guess im just in "denial" at the moment, scared of going in case they tell me there is something wrong - but i know you are right, the sooner a diagnosis is made, the sooner something can be done to rectify the problem... just need to take some Brave Pills

I hope IF there is anything wrong hun, that it is just a mild case of Endo (and nothing nasty) and if u do have a Lap done, it will increase your chances of a BFP by miles and miles xxx

Yep thanks chick....me too!!! I'll probably be excited to have it done in the end if its gonna help me get a BFP!!

I would def make an apointment, most people make the appointment and then find out they get a BFP as its just the worry if the appointment out the window
Normally its a good thing as you could be worrying about it deep down and some reassurance that everything is fine would be good, or if its hubby they can advise certain vitamins and foods that will help but they take 3 months to start producing new spermies so it would be better to go sooner rather than later....could be anything and something so small but the doctor will be able to help maybe

Have you read 'Zita west guide to getting pregnant' i'm reading it now and its so interesting and so much stuff in there i didnt have a clue about

xx

nicola647

Ah thanks for the advice hun. but really i do need those brave pills to get me to see doc!

I have read an article in a magazine once that was all about Zita West and her work,

it mentioned how some women (and men) are not aware of certain things that can affect TTC...

it said that taking pain killers around ovulation time can Adversely affect ovulation. and that during your period if you use Tampons that can actually dry the vagina causing lack of CM during OV. (TMI i know)

It also said not just women but men should take folic acid which helps their spermies.... (something my OH is not willing to do) lol

Where did u buy the book? could i get it on ebay? xx

bird24

Yep all things like that and loads more....its very good.... i brought mine from ebay for £10 including postage...

Theres a detox plan in there too which i'm gonna try in a couple of weeks and lots of nutrition info that i didnt know

hey you might not even need it if you get a BFP this cycle

I will have a look on ebay and see if i can find her book, sounds really interesting! hows ur not smoking going hun? xx
