Hiya!

You'll probably get Mr Haloob, he's not bad. Esp if you have fertility issues. One of his team a woman called Seema (sp?) is very good. She seems very up to date on what is going on with treatments.
I live near Stanford le Hope btw.

Hi ladies,

I am from Essex too. I live near Chelmsford and Braintree.
I had my ultrasound at Springfield Hospital... I was really lucky because my parents paid for me to have it done so I didn't have to wait long. I have not had much success with my GP or the other doctors at my local surgery... they don't seem to want to know, but now I am pursuing the 'alternative' route as I would rather try that before resorting to synthetic drugs.

Take care,

Vicky-Louise

I tried the homeopathy route about 8 yrs ago. Didn't do much for me. The natural path just seemed endlessly expensive at the time. I did the drugs route and now have a son, and being on metformin (since jan 05) i'm actually losing weight! Only 12kg to go before my gp is happy (ish) with my weight.

Wow that's great. I am losing weight too... got about another 35 pounds to go. I am trying some herbs and low-carb/low-fat diet, as much exercise as I can manage (as I have M.E.) and just generally reading up on what I can do/take to help... I am not ttc so I guess if I was and was having no success I would look into the 'orthodox' medical route.
