Hello

I am new to this forum, have read the chats. wanted to join in.
we have been trying for 4 years to have a baby, i have PCOS, have just started my first cycle. very very nervous! dont know what to expect. i had a biopsy of the cervix and diathermy of my cervix, my consulatant thought i might have a narrow cervix and tried to dilate the cervix, it was very painful and in the end could nt do it. very upset about this. i am worried it will hold my treatment. was wondering if any one had experienced this before. pls pls advice . also has any one has any tips on diet whilst on the cycle.

thanks in advance

I have no advice but wanted to welcome you, this a great place, and hopefully your stay will be short and sweet, about the diet many girls swear by the high protein and lots of water diet.

Hi--welcome to the site! Sorry I don't have any advice for you except to add to what Ainara said. Eat lots of protein and stay hydrated. I also try to excersise. It helps reduce my stress.

Good luck to you-

Hi There

Thankyou for replying to me. So nice to be welcomed to the group. Thanks for the advice about the diet. Had heard that protein was good to have. Ill try to have as much as possible!! Feels like we have been waiting for ages to start.Thanks again. Due to go back to see consultant on the 31st july. Hope all goes well.

Baby dust to everyone.

Hey Rae and welcome to the board!!

I dont have any info on the cervix issue, but wanted to welcome you

I am guessing you are either Rae ( with the hotlips of course, or its your partner)

I cant wait to get to know you better.
