After all that mix up last time-being reffered to the wrong hospital etc,we are still fighting and waiting for some progress,so many phonecalls,different info and responses etc-it's really pissing me off at the moment and I'm sorry(I don't normally swear but fed up)
So,we we're waiting for our app date to come,it came,we attended the app,it didn't exist as the gp had made a mistake then I was reassured we wouldnt wait too long for a new app as we'd waited long enough already and as I sit here now we still have no appointment. I've rang the app line,the hospital,spoke to numerous departments,the receptionist's at our local surgery and the gp,apparently now the hold up is the local primary care trust,they have to make the decision to allow the funding for ivf treatment,taking into consideration the length of time we've been ttc our ages etc,they are taking a long time to decide unfortunately and depending on the outcome and info being posted,faxed,e-mailed here,there and everywhere etc then we can find out a date for our first consultation that we should have had quite some time ago,then after that consultation(if it ever happens) we can be added to what I suspect is a very long nhs treatment waiting list. We are trying to save up some money as a back up plan.

Today has been an unsucessful day. We were reffered from a hospital where we have been under the infertility clinic for a number of years for ivf treatment,my local gp dealt with the refferal and made a mistake he gave us 3 option's of hospitals locally to receive ivf treatment,we picked one and made an app on line,we have been waiting and looking forward to our first consultation(which was this afternoon) the hospital had realised the g.p's mistake n cancelled the app without telling us,the hospital the g.p suggested doesnt do iui/ivf treatment,we now need reffering to the correct hospital and have to wait again now when we could have made the app months ago. We prepared everything today,I've been watching my weight to keep my bmi ok so we'd qualify,we took time off work,and spent an hr trying to wrk out why the hospital weren't expecting us. What a day! Over and out,clomidkid x x x

I thought this cycle just might have been 'the one', but af arrived yesterday. I miss that excited,special  kind of feeling that you sometimes get before af is due when u wonder if you may be pregnant and you know something that everyone around you doesn't know, I daydream all the time,it consumes me,seeing a bfp going through the excitement and emotions,imagining tears of joy,planning a special way to tell my wonderful fiance,imaging his face,knowing that this challenge and quest you've both been trying to manage has come to an end and you feel special and excited to have a secret and trying to believe it's real and your having a baby together. I feel depressed today and I can't bring myself out of it. We'd accepted a dinner invitation tonight and I feel so much like cancelling but I can't because we dont see his sister and husband that often and I love our niece but it's so hard talking about her over dinner and even though I know I'm not I feel like a failure. The clomid makes my emotional state worse and it's round 8 starting tomorrow!
I have thought many times about changing my job in child care but I love it and have never done anything else,but I see pregnant mums all the time.
Sorry to sound down :[!!!!! clomidkid x x x

This is the story so far I won't bore you with dates
We have been ttc for 5 years
We didn't look into fertility until after 3 years of ttc
Blood tests results proved I was ovulating some cycles and not others-even though my periods are regular and I always have a menstrual bleed
My pro-lactin blood tests level was too high
Not sure about other levels-need to have them checked again-my gp did question a lpd
My fiance's sa was fine-only been checked once though
I had a laproscopy invetigation-to check for visible probs-cysts/fibroid's/endometriosis
Results from laproscopy were fine
We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility
I was put on 50mg of clomid on day 2-6 for 6 cycles
A transvaginal scan showed 2 follicles and blood tests for that same cycle showed I'd ovulated
No pregnancy occured,I've never had a positive tests through all years of ttc
I had a 4 mth break from taking clomid
Had an ultra sound scan-results showed no probs
Started taking it again last mth-7th cycle on clomid now
Not had transvaginal scan this mth-they couldnt fit us in!
Should be able to have one nxt cycle-we'd like to know whether it's working or not
App in infertility clinic in dec-cause of numbers of years ttc-referral made for ivf treatment
App on 7th April 2008 (nxt monday) first consultation at hospital to discuss hopefully iui/ivf treatment options
