Thought I would start my own diary to help keep a track and keep myself motivated when things seem to be hopeless and also for others to check out incase they are in a similar situation and want to know about my experiences, here's my story so far.......

I came off the pill in Oct 2006 and started charting, opks etc in Dec 2007 and as of yet no BFP. Also in Dec 2007 I started spotting a week before my AF (this has never happened to me before now), this has continued and spotting arrives anywhere between 7-9 before my AF. I made my GP do my day21 progesterone level bloods a couple of months ago and results were 52 (anything over 30 mean you ovulate apparently). For the last 3months I have been taking Agnus Castus to see if that helps with the spotting and as of yet it hasn't. No drs seem concerned about this spotting even though I am and just want it to stop. Also started taking EPO last month to try and increase cervical mucus and that didn't seem to work.

Me and boyf went to our first Infertility appt yesterday, and we are still undecided if it was a good experience or not.  The dr we saw was rubbish, didn't seem to know what she was talking about (she didn't even think it was a infertility appt, just a gyno appt til I put her straight). Anyway the course of action that has been decided is this: Me go for CD2 and CD21 blood test this month, go to GP's to have swabs to check for infection, when those come back clear ring and go have a HSG done, Boyf booked in for Semen Sample Analysis on 4/8/08 (cant believe how long wait) then we go back for a ultrasound and appt with dr to get results all on same day.  Here is where I get v.annoyed, the earliest appt they have got to get all results from dr is.....22/12/08 (over 6mnths time, cant believe it!!!) So we will have had all test done by early August and will have to wait a further 4 months to get results, it just seems so wrong.  I have been told I can ring up to see if they have any cancellations.  Which I will be doing, every week, from when we have had all the tests done.  And hopefully we will get in before December.

AF arrived today, so I will be going in tomorrow for my CD2 bloodtests, so the ball will be officially rolling (just very slowly by the looks of it!).

If anyone wants to watch my journey please feel free to do so, and ask me any questions if you want.

I am hoping this will be a very short journey, fingers crossed!!
