Struggling to conceive

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

Me too! 15 months ttc. Went to the GP on tuesday. They cant refer me to a fertility clinic because even though I've had 2 unsuccessful pregnancies, one of which I'm going through right now they count that as I conceived therefore it hasn't been 12 months of no success. The female body can be so so cruel!

Oops hahaha! I meant Oh not other half LOL

@MrsTK1 Oh my apologies! It's just that they use the acronym in other forums, ED means egg donation. I totally understand how you must be so confused right now. I felt totally lost when I went through IVF. But these forums really helped me a lot. In my case I chose gender selection since my hubby wanted a baby boy. So we went to Cyprus. I'll just post the link here since it is kinda hard for me to retrace all the steps. Just contact them too - you can chat or email, they are really very helpful - this is where I went:www.dunyaivf.com/en/egg-donation

@alekniemi783 thank you so much and massive congratulations for your little boy! Are you able explain what ED is and what steps you have to go through from when you are first referred? X

alekniemi783 · 18/07/2019 07:11

Hello ladies, I have been through what you have. That was a year ago - wow time flies! I ended up with ED and now I have a cute baby boy. Let me know if you need help - whatever happens remember everything will be just fine :)

@MrsTK1 yeah I know, I know some people have an issue with being referred but I was quite lucky as they never batted an eyelid really! Thanks x

I guess fertility clinic is the best thing as they will be able to come up with options. Please do let me know how you get on once you've been.

Agreed on social media! It seems that you just cant get away from it. I got married last year so everyone just keeps asking and its infuriating. Haven't told anyone close really yet but might have to to stop them from reminding me constantly.

Good luck at the clinic x

I don't know what they plan on talking about really, my blood tests showed low progesterone but the doctor is leaving that to the fertility clinic to deal with! I'll let you know how I get on!!

Totally agree that EVERYONE seems to be pregnant , I've had to deactivate Facebook and Instagram sometimes because of it! Family wise there has been 4 pregnancies in the last year so no escaping it !! Looking forward to what's next though !

OMG thank God it isnt just me on here at this point! Same here with the tests, all seems fine although i am just waiting for my last blood test result and then its back to the doctor to be referred.

Do you know the process @twopinkies or do you find out Monday? Good luck with it and let me know how it goes.

Same here with everyone and their dog being pregnant. I also keep getting people making comments about me. My brother has had his second child this year and when i posted a pic of me holding him, a friend commented about how good i looked with a baby! Normally that wouldnt have any effect but because of what is happening it makes me want to cry!

bunhead34 · 17/07/2019 09:56

Same here,TTC for 12 months.
We've both had tests and results all fine apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️
Now waiting for referral to the fertility clinic.

Fed up of it TBH! Seems like EVERYONE is pregnant!!

twopinkies · 17/07/2019 09:17

Me!

TTC no1 and have my first appointment at the fertility clinic on Monday! Would be great to share with others going through the same thing !
