My Hospital Appt

Pollyf · #1 July 20th, 2005, 04:32 AM

I had my follow up appt today with the consultant, following on from my blood tests and scan. I had thought that when i went today i was going to be given Clomid, even though i had an idea i ov. Well i went in and dh came with me, the consultant told us there is absolutley nothing wrong with us, my ovaries, womb and tubes are all fine, i ovulate regularly and dh's test was fine, i mentioned his motility and the consultant basically said there was nothing really wrong with it. Slightly lower. Due to the high number of people on waiting lists for fetility treatment on the National Health Service, they fertility hospital would not entertain me because we already have our daughter.

I just feel absolutely deflated, i know i should be happy that there seems to be nothing wrong with us, but after 3 years of ttc, i think i had a glimmer of hope when i thought they were going to be able to help us. The only other option is for us to go Private for assisted conception, the consultant also advised us to ask what the success rate would be if we decide to go ahead Privately, which i don't think at this moment we could possibly afford.

Dh has said to just have our holiday in Florida, to relax and enjoy our break and we'll think more about things when we get back, i think he's hoping as well that while wer'e away and feeling relaxed, things may take a good turn. I also have the feeling that the ob is going to visit me tomorrow, just to give me a good kick when i'm down,

DH is going to carry on with his vitamins and we will see what happens, Speak to you all later.

Pauline,

Glad to hear that everything checks out okay. Also concerned that the fertility center isn't willing to help. That's ashame. Your dh is right...take your vacation and relax. I have a feeling you will be bringing home more than you leave with!!! That is good that dh is going to continue taking his vitamins. Keep me updated on everything!!!

Lotsa luck, love and babydust!!!

I'm sorry that you're feeling down. It's good news that everything seems to be in working order, but it's too bad they didn't put you on chlomid. I hope that you take back a little stow away with you when you return from Florida. It's a great, fun place, and I'll bet that you'll be on a natural chlomid high when you're there, lol.

Take care,

Tracy

I was actually thinking about buying clomid on the internet, what do you think, do you think i am just being a bit crazy just now and wait to see what happens.

Pauline.

p.s. how are you tracy, how's things going with you.

Hmm, I've read some people on other boards warning about using chlomid while not being monitored by a health care professional. I don't know much about it, but apparently it can be dangerous. Having said that, I can't possibly know how you're feeling, and if the risk would be worth it. I just wish that it would happen for you, now! lol

Everything's going okay for me. I just finished a week's vacation from work, so wasn't on the computer much (only while I'm working, he he!). I have no idea if I've o'd as my temps are all over the place, so I'm not holding out much hope for this cycle, even though we've been bd'ing more than usual.

I'm on my lunch break now, so if you're around, we can chat it up, lol.
