Hey BB
Sending all sorts of soothing thoughts. Try not to trash the fertility monitor. I do agree that putting it on ebay would not be half as satisfying as stomping on it
If I were you I would make the doctors appointment and say you have been trying for longer than you have and that you have been tracking your ov.
... I know it is a white lie but at least they will start giving you some basic tests. There may well be a lot of people who think that advice is irresponsible but is just my persepctive.
It can take ages to get the ball rolling. My PCOS was picked up when I had surgery for ovarian tumour (benign) have had a couple of ops subsequently. Diagnosis is confirmed by all sorts of blood tests etc.
What I am trying to say is that with an obvious problem my GP still wanted tests and it is nearly 5 months until we got referred to the consultant for clomid. I am 38 (39) this year and have worked in the hospital I am being treated at for 15 years. So I asume we had the minimum wait !!
If you get pregnant whilst waiting for your appointment fantastic.... then you can cancel it.
Have you tried tracking BBT to help you define when and if you are ovulating.
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ I found this really helpful it give you free charting lessons via email...and I bought a special (8.99) BBT thermometer from
http://www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk/Day after ov temperature shifts up you can record your monitor results or ov sticks plus CM observations.
Might be useful to take charts to any consultation you might have in the future
I have been with Mr J since 2005 but have only been going all out for treatment since our wedding
Last point I have read a few books and really like Marylin Glenville. Diet and lifestyle plus recommended supplements for you and your partner. I found it helps. Hubbie has undergone willing detox and even given up his beer for a while and is full of vitamins
Good luck hon - hope this helps
