Hi, well, we weren't getting anywhere fast with GPs, being told that we should do OPKs for 3 months before coming back...because its 12 months before you can seek help ( even tho two consecutive months of bloods said no ovulation ) so we went privately and need to do some scans to find out what's going on.

I need to join too ladies. I am TTC#2, and this is the sixth month but I have also discovered that I don't ovulate. Not sure why yet and didn't have this issue pre DC1. It's starting to grate when people ask me when we are having number 2.

Fingers crossed: I have had a years worth of Clomid which didn't do much, it made me ovulate earlier (Day 14 whereas I'm always day 17/18) but that was it. I shouldn't have even had it for a year but my consultant said it wouldn't do any harm and he didn't know what else to do!

I've had two laparoscopies, a HSG, a hysteroscopy and a couple of scans but everything was fine. They found some extremely mild endo during the lap but hardly enough to make any difference. It's so hard because I am constantly told that nothing is wrong but I feel like screaming that something but be wrong otherwise I would be pregnant!!

I would have IVF tomorrow but my DH isn't up for it at all, he has two children aged 16 and 20 from his previous marriage so isn't as devastated by this as I am.

Hopefully you will get your laparoscopy and that will show something fixable, for some reason I always hope that they find something they can fix rather than find nothing at all and you still have no answers.

Dildoos do they have any other plans for you other than just take Asprin?

My age gap is getting bigger than I ever wanted but I don't care anymore I just want another one!

It's so nice to chat to other people about it Smile

Next step with me will more than likely be a laparoscopy and also changing to go private.

Boredoftrying (great username btw) welcome, are you receiving any treatment? It must be very frustrating to be unexplained.

Oh gosh that was a long post...sorry. Oh and just for vanity reasons can I point out that from my stats it should say that I am 28 not 29!!! Yes I'm vain.

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 16/06/2013 15:11

It's so depressing though, especially when every month that goes by I worry about the gap getting bigger and bigger between my ds and any other dc we are likely to get. At this stage I'm starting to worry that there will never be any more dc for us and that just kills me.

Have you been diagnosed with anything? Had you trouble ttc your first?
My ds was a total surprise in my last year of uni Blush but I thank my lucky stars every day that I had that surprise.

I have been diagnosed with pcos. My biggest problem being that I don't ovulate. At Christmas I finally got into the gynae clinic (on public systems in Ireland) I was put on clomid which resulted in two chemical pregnancies, I was devastated. I was then put on femara which was supposed to make me ovulate but not thin out my lining like the clomid. It was a disaster and has not worked at all.

So right now I am waiting for my AF to arrive sometime next week and I don't really know what to do. My next appointment is in August but I am thinking of going private.

Have you had your bloods done yet?
