Trying for 2 years and no luck

Hi,

I’m new to all this and find it difficult talking to people about my problems. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for the past 2 years, we’re but in our earlier 30s and have no health issues - in fact we’ve both me fitness fanatics our whole lives.

We’ve had all the tests done except the scan where they check to see if my tubes are blocked. I waited 9 months for the appointment which then got cancelled in March due to corona. Being in lockdown is making Is making all my feelings towards this situation really difficult to deal with.

I’ve never felt such sadness in my life, I sound dramatic when I say this but I’m at the point where literally my soul hurts with all this baby stuff. I can’t talk to my husband as he doesn’t deal with it very well and it sends him into a downward spiral so I keep everything to myself and put on a happy face.

Has anyone gone through anything similar?

Hi, my situation isn't completely similar but I just wanted to pop on here to let you know that you're not alone because I know how absolutely awful trying for a baby is when it's not working.. we've been trying for 2 years now. We had a miscarriage a year ago which was awful and so sad to have not conceived again yet...

I was told by various doctors that we were both fine etc, just to 'keep trying' and to stay healthy and it'd happen. Basically fobbed off for ages! Upon further investigation and with the help from a really great doctor and nurse, I was diagnosed with PCOS so I at least felt like there was a reason for me not being able to have a baby's but it still hurts just as much.

I just want to let you know that I understand what an absolute terrible time you're having and I really wish us both the best of luck, hopefully we'll get our babes soon ❤️xxx
