Good news for me. My male and female hormones are all in normal ranges :D my growth hormone was elevated though so they are sending me back to do it again fasting this time. I grew from 173cm to 174.5cm in just over a year and my feet went up two sizes so not sure what my body is doing. Hopefully we are on track to get answers now. I have my transvaginal scan on Tues. if that is all clear then it will be hubby's turn to get a SA done. My doctor doesn't see a reason why I can't get preg but is waiting for the scan to be sure. 14 cycles is a long wait but maybe i've just been unlucky. Hubby never had trouble getting me preg in the past so I doubt there is an issue with his sperm.

I'm trying to be calm this cycle. I started beginners yoga and meditation. Lol i've never done either so it feels weird but the gp really drove home the fact that stress is not good for conception so i'm doing my best :) I also started netball so I can have fun and lose some more weight :)

@lissa I would say the discomfort is more than an IUD insertion. But it is bearable and it does not last that long. Women are so strong! Even people with a low pain tolerance can handle some strong cramping for 60 seconds.
@Kelly Lol I’m right there with you. I have cried three times today over little things. I hope that’s a good sign for us. Any other symptoms??
@bug I’m glad to hear you have some answers and somewhat of a direction to head. Hopefully good things will come in the near future!
@matarik I’m glad your appointment went well. Try hard to let the stress go (I’m not following my own advice lol). I hope you are successful this cycle!!

@Momma around 5:30, I had one incredibly sharp pain near my right hip. It was so strong, I doubled over for a second. Have you had any more symptoms?

Sore throat still slightly there. Some sharp pains in my left side (like ovulation pain) that lasted about 3 minutes. Acne really bad again since mid day. CM changes like every other hour. And my milk glands are hard and swollen.

@Matarikigreen the SA is very important there are men who don' t won' t to do it...I don't know why...mine didn't have a problem with that and I'm glad he did it because we found out that there was something wrong. for you...all things will sort out

@bug I know the feeling...we went through this when we found out that his varicocele surgery had side effects after and we didn' T know where to start...and he was very sad...our friends are all preg. From the first month TTC...men aren' T so strong as women. You have to be there for him and stay positive every day and don't show him you are worried. Also people around him has to stay positive...my mother in law said me once,, you will have children when God wants you to have" and she didn' T believe there is a problem with her son... despite the fact she was with him when he had surgery..we didn't know each other then..they didn't ask the doctor if there will be problems later, her attitude made him feel worse.

@Momma this morning 36.9 so I think O day was on CD 17 , I'm now 2 dpo I suppose

Hubby will do it :) We just didn't think there was a need to given our previous history but better to be sure since it has been 14 cycles. The longest it took us in the past was 7 cycles. Thanks guys. I'm definitely trying not to stress. Post ovulation is when I really struggle urgh. BD tonight and then a break tomorrow unless the opk is positive. It was neg today.

So got to BD last night, I'm using CTP, Ovia, Fertility Friend and Premom to chart, Ovia and Premom have me O'ing on Wednesday and CTP & FF are for Thursday, for some reason Ovia wants to change my ovulation day to today which is absolutely NOT correct, I don't get their algorithm at all! 2 more nights of BD'ing before hubby goes back to work so hopefully we get lucky,.
Good luck to everyone coming up to O or testing day!

@Beck i don't use that metod anymore O day is not the same every cycle only 1day of AF . Even the doctor said not to count on that. BBT and Opk both.
