New Cycle, New Plan.

Today is about day 9 in my cycle, I think, although it is actually hard to know where exactly to start counting days from with my cycles being the way they are.


My awful period has finally finished I THINK (never can tell with me as they seem to stop and start) sooo we can start....trying AGAIN.


We have had a long talk about it, hubby is keen for me to make another appointment with my gp as he thinks I am being fobbed off regarding the referral to the fertility specialist as one minute he was going to do it straight away and then the next he wants me to try for another couple of months before he is able to even make the referral at all, then it would be god knows how long before I get seen, and they wonder why women get stressed out when having fertility problems!!!!!!


We also talked about what we thought might be causing our problems, we talked about how long it took to conceive our 3 boys and what might have changed between having our youngest who will be 9 this year and now.


WARNING! As is my style this bit will be blunt and possibly too much information, but then again this blog is about trying to conceive so hard not too get a bit graphic I guess.


I was diagnosed with a prolapse back in about 2006 or7, my gynecologist who is one of the funniest, most blunt doctors I have ever met, was very encouraging and supportive about the idea of me having another baby when I last saw her during our attempt in 2008.
Because of my lovely prolapse I was and still have agonizing  periods where it literally feels like everything is going to fall out, this is actually pretty scary as well as painful.
Gynae fitted something called a ring pessary by my cervix to help support everything, she said she has patients that have used these during pregnancy with no trouble, but it never occurred to me that it might cause problems actually getting pregnant in the first place!


When I last saw my gp I mentioned I had this ring fitted only because I wanted him to change it for me as I am no longer under the gynae (I discharged myself after hubby broke my heart by changing his mind about the baby at the end of 2008)
The gp said that he did not want to change anything because he was about to make the referral to the fertility specialist and he should see me as I have been while we are having the fertility problem.


But we have now decided we are going to literally take matters into our own hands lol and remove the ring before we start this month's attempt and see what happens.
Hubby seems quite positive about it, I think it's the man thing, he feels he sees the problem and "Me man, me fix, ug!" So we will see.
I am going to carry on with using the ovulation tests, because my body seems to have no real pattern to ovulation and does it whenever it feels like.


Good to have a plan I guess!!!
