Struggling to conceive

Mrskkennedy · 17/07/2019 08:39

Is anyone else out there struggling to get pregnant for more than 12 months and undergoing tests etc? I am 30, never been pregnant before, and currently going through this. I thought it would be good to have a thread for others in the same boat so that we can support each other with the tests and what possibly comes next with a fertility clinic. Xx

So sorry all - I don't know whether my phone, my WiFi or this website is playing up - it kept saying "post failed - retry?"

Sorry again!

Hey all.

I'm in the same boat as yourselves - TTC 21 months. I'm 37 so I'm starting to panic!
I'm on the waiting list for fertility clinic - should be called in Oct (6month NHS waiting list in N.Ireland 🙄)

I've had a transvaginal exam - possible tin lining of uterus
21day bloods - low progesterone
Repeat 21 day bloods this Wednesday
All fine from DF's SA

And YES, I'm also sick of everyone around me pregnant!!!

I'm also on a thread in infertility called "TTC for 1year +" and I think I recognise some of you

@bunhead34 - I defo recognise u lol x

alekniemi783 · 05/08/2019 06:51

Thank you @VenusStarr - I'm sorry to hear about your MMC. I hope things will do well soon. How are the other ladies doing?

twopinkies · 22/07/2019 18:45

@MrsTK1 yeah I do, I think it's easier knowing that it's treatable! I've been scaring myself on google about the hsg test but I'm sure I'll be fine- I'll defo keep you all updated !

bobbypinseverywhere · 22/07/2019 18:22

Can I join? TTC number 1 and feeling so frustrated. Aaaaall of my friends have babies and I feel well and truly sidelined out the ‘mums club’. Worse thzing is now some are already pregnant with no2 😩

MrsTK1 · 22/07/2019 18:12

Hey! That sounds really positive!!! You must feel a sense of relief and hope again now that it wont be long :)

Keep us updated with what happens next and the turnaround time for things x

twopinkies · 22/07/2019 17:46

Hey everyone , hope you're all ok! Had my appointment today so I thought I'd give you all an update!

So they weighed us and took out blood pressure, asked us normal questions about cycle, habits etc, then went onto the results of the initial tests the doctor done. OH is absolutely fine, normal in all areas! Based on the info I gave her, and my high hormone levels , we done a scan which showed I have PCOS (strangely relieved to know what the issue may be)!

They have referred me for further blood tests and tests to make sure my tubes are open so just a waiting game now!

Naibear89 · 19/07/2019 19:19

Yup has to be a whole 12 months of no success at all!! Surely 2 un-sticky babies isnt 'success'. The worst bit is .. that I've not even bled yet. I explained to the gp that I had a faint positive and since then all negatives and she just said it's an unsuccessful pregnancy. They cant do any bloods until I've had this bleed because they need to do them 7 days before my next period. The whole thing is just so frustrating and extremely uncomfortable 😣😣

MrsTK1 · 19/07/2019 18:03

@Naibear89 I'm so sorry to hear that. That doesn't seem fair!?! Have they said it will have to be a whole 12 months? I would go back if I were you.

@VenusStarr I'm pleased to hear things are progressing for you. Sounds promising although scary that it can take such a long time to even get an appointment. I get a lot pain throughout the month so I think there is something wrong with me stopping us conceiving so I hope they do the ultrasound etc on me.

I guess it's just a waiting game and we need to stay positive. It is difficult though when it's the only thing you want :(

VenusStarr · 19/07/2019 08:19

Congratulations on your little boy @alekniemi783 💙

VenusStarr · 19/07/2019 08:15

@Naibear89 I'm sorry for your losses. I'd beep pushing to be referred. I had a mmc in April but the fertility clinic are still seeing me / investigating because I've been ttc for 18 months and although I concieved, haven't yet had a live birth. Check your local ccg guidelines x

Sorry everyone else is in a similar position @MrsTK1 @twopinkies @bunhead34 @Mrskkennedy. I had my first appointment in May (was about a 4 month wait) and been sent for an ultrasound, an hsg (dye in tubes test) and got a hysteroscopy in August (camera in uterus and possible removal if fibroids). Then back to see the consultant in September.

We're having a last ditch attempt at conceiving by doing smep this cycle, plus I'm temping and seeing a reflexologist in a couple of weeks.
