Do you think they will be happy to pay for your fertility treatment..

once they hold the budget?

I know mine won't. ZERO confidence.

Forget about big things like IVF. There will be a real problem even getting them to do referrals or doing tests. It is a £££ oriented practice - totally different from my previous GP practice, which was made up of lovely people who cared about patients.   I have to find a better practice.

Tick tock TICK TOCK...

Can you hear it? I can.

In case you are wondering whether I am becoming schizophrenic, NO, I am not.  I am merely hearing my own biological clock, TICKing away.  This year, will be my last logical chance, and here I am facing multiple problems:

  1. overweight - still not successful. My improvement is NO weight gain (yet) this winter. The past few winters added an average of 5 kg per season
  2. Where is my regular period?????
  3. Am I ovulating? AT all?
  4. PCOS - is still by "best friend"
I have not been not keen on "drastic" moves, preferring to lose weight and conceive naturally. However, after a few years of trying, that is clearly not happening. 

Time to wake up, and face the truth. And take action quick. It is time to negotiate and sharpen the elbows when it comes to dealing with my current GP.  Sigh.... the sad news is if I don't do things quick, i will soon have not only my age against me, but  the healthcare system. If my current GP has to pay for my fertility treatment, I can jolly well forget about it.

how did they do it - the stamina in baby dancing

Those women surprised me. And those men impressed him. How did they do it?  Sustained periods of baby dancing (weird term). I am very happy for Posh & David Beckham.  I read from the ever entertaining daily mail that David had to stick to a schedule that Victoria Beckham ordered . They have to stick strictly to it. Do it every few hours when she is fertile. OMG!!! I know that he is fit & healthy, but that is still many times a day! Hmmmm... her period is hopefully some sort of clockwork.Otherwise, there will be a longer to try for many days!

The papers had lots of comments about what she could have done to choose the sex of the baby.
Why is it their bussiness - I don't know. Anyway, here is what they think she should have done to get a girl.

These journos have no ideas how precious a baby is for people with pcos. I wish they would have spent that energy to find out how we pcos women can follow a similar step?
