Hi I am mawinter. I'm 37 years old and living in Germany with my husband. DH and I have officially been trying to conceive since Sept 7th of this year, we had tried before, but never as serious as now, so if you want to total everything in we have been ttc on and off for 3 years.
The road has not been easy so far this time around, ovarian cyst, low estrogen, thin endometrial lining and it took 54 days for AF to finally arrive after coming off BC this time.
I have had one successful pregnancy, but that was far back when I was in my early 20's. Shortly after my daughter was born, I fell pregnant again, but miscarried short before Christmas.
It took up a lot of strength to try again and of course as you get older health issues arise. I had my appendix removed in late 2004, they botched the surgery and I got a prolapsed disc as well as some lovely scar tissue. It took them around 2 years to finally diagnose all issues and since then I suffer daily from pain. In 2006 I believe it was I had a cervical cone biopsy done as I had severe dysplasia.
When I finally throw in the towel and decide enough is enough, i want to have another baby already, I got met with my first obstacles (cyst, thin lining, no af, etc).
Due to all of my previous issues my doctor ordered blood work and found out my hormone levels were all over the place, I was also put on Mastodynon and Duphaston to help breakup my cyst and return AF. I was told once AF finally returned to come back for my next blood work between CD 3 & 7.
Af arrived on Halloween and we called this past Monday to have new blood work done and went in Tuesday morning. Today the doctor called with the results and informed me that while all the levels look to be in the normal range, apart from some possible problem with my thyroid I am not Ovulating and she wants to refer me to a Fertility Clinic to start Clomid or something similar, because she herself is not really a fan of such drugs and she does not even know if it will work due to my thin endometrial lining.
They are supposed to rerun the blood work for the thyroid and I should return to them next week for my referral to the Clinic.
The news is all still absorbing, I can say straight off i am gutted and just want to give up.
