TTC for 10 months should we worry

We have been ttc for 3 and a half years. Every single test comes back absolutely fine / normal and yet no pregnancy in all that time. We had tests after 6 months privately as I didn’t want to wait 12 months . A lot we have repeated as well as it’s just been so weird that things keep coming back as normal yet we can’t get pregnant

Hello @OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar sorry for the delayed response - yes it was the same cycle as I had my hycosy! I hope all is well with you xx

Yeah I think having a plan in place and something to work towards makes the days feel a bit easier.

We have been to a fertility clinic, have done lots of the initial stuff and looking to start ICSI in the new year, but I’m so impatient lol.

Just fearful so find myself scrolling looking for hope, about to enter the dreaded two week wait 😭

I’m hoping things happen quickly for you!!! Xxxx

Thank you for your reply 🩵 and although I’m sorry you’re still on this journey, really positive that you’ve got the ball rolling with fertility clinic!
We have a mixed picture, hubby has a low count and I’ve got borderline pcos so we’re looking at starting ICSI in the new year! Feel once that starts can feel like we’re actually taking some action as opposed to just waiting… endlessly… which is what it feels like now!
I too turned 30 this year and so I try to focus on having the gift of time but it’s so difficult being at the age where EVERYONE seems to be getting pregnant, when only a few years ago it didn’t even cross my mind I’d be in the position 😂 xx

Try not to focus on sex only before ovulation (sperm meets egg type theory) try having sex the day you think you ovulated and the day after too. A total game changer for us was using preseed lubricant if you don’t already use it - things happened very quickly for us after that after having no luck for one year. Good luck to you xx

Hi @Pandamonium04, could I ask, was this the same cycle you had your hycosy? I had mine this month and am now about to ovulate a week later xx

Any updates OP? Xx

@Pandamonium04 congratulations! I have my hycosy coming up. I've read a lot about hycosy increasing the chances of pregnancy - trying not to get my hopes up too much but at least the thought that it might help is completely trumping any worry I have about it being painful!

@Lilybluexmoo1 @HPrior hello! So it turns out we did get pregnant after the hycosy. Currently seven ish weeks along. Went for an early scan last week which saw a heartbeat but the tiniest embryo/baby thing so still holding my breath until our next scan.

all the best to you guys! Apart from the hycosy, my husband and I started on coq10. Ironically I also told myself that it didn’t really matter if we didn’t conceive in sep - Nov as we’re travelling quite extensively this period. I think the lack of pressure/stress must have also contributed to conception. All the best!

Sorry meant @Pandamonium04

@Roseberry22 I am the same as you. Struggling TTC #2. Now 10 months in. My first child took one month of trying age 35. Have had basic blood tests and internal ultrasound and apparently nothing is wrong. AMH score was really high and husband's sperm is fine. Due to have a hycosy tomorrow and the fertility specialist also mentioned checking scar tissue from c section. All the doctors I have seen so far have basically just said it can take a while and say my expectations are just very high because of the ease with which it happened before. I just really can't see it happening now without some kind of treatment.

@Pandamonium04 basically in the exact same position! I was so scared for my hycosy as well but found it absolutely fine was pleasantly surprised 😂 I started my partner on proxeed max vitamins as well so hopefully that helps his swimmers read so many good things about it! Good luck to you too keep us updated I love hearing success stories gives me hope x

@Lilybluexmoo1 I just had my hycosy on Monday! Spotted slightly on Monday, and then all fine yesterday and now actually spotting quite a bit / bordering on bleeding today (Wednesday) ugh.

my husbands’s morphology is also at 3% and the doctor didn’t seem concerned at all. He focused a lot more on motility and progressive motility.

following the hycosy and the SA results he’s basically told us to try for a few more cycles. Good luck to you and your partner x

In the same boat ttc 10 months I'm 29 and partners SA wasn't the best with morphology 3% normal. I had a hycosy 1.5 months ago so currently in the second cycle since tww hoping that it helped the sperm swim through to the egg easier. All my checks ups seemed ok no blocked tubes and a good amount of eggs in each ovary but a slightly lower amh for my age of 12.9. Good luck to use in this thread hope one of us gets a bfp ASAP xx

It took me 9 calendar months but 11 cycles to conceive my first at 31. I honestly think a lot of it is luck although I found it so frustrating at the time. We spent 11 months timing everything right, very healthy, lots of sex around ovulation, both on vitamins, the month we concieved we used conceive plus lube and I elevated hips afterwards. 9 months after DD was born me and DH had sex once in a month and outside of my fertile window. It was interrupted so I hopped off him immediately after he finished and bam we were pregnant anyway. I described conceiving like rolling a dice. You really want to roll a 6. Some do it first time, some do it 11th, 12th, 13th. Some drop the dice without even meaning to and it lands on a 6.

@Roseberry22 thank you! I am dreading it. Also hate that ttc is so all consuming! I hope you and your husband have more luck soon x

@Roseberry22 not with bbt as I think that would stress me out even more, but with ovulation strips yes. I should’ve said this is ttc #2 and ttc #1 was much quicker 😪 naively thought it’d kinda take around the same length of time but clearly not. I’ve done my bloods and scans and all normal. SA for husband was fine as well but nonetheless having a repeat next month. And I’ve got a hycosy scheduled as well 😵‍💫 all the best to you guys too!

@StressStress thank you! Not quite at the 12 month mark yet but it is fast approaching. Ugh!

If you are still not pregnant after 12 months, I recommend that you consult a healthcare professional to discuss the reasons why you have not yet had a pregnancy, and possibly carry out tests if they feel it is necessary :) I wish you all the best !

@Roseberry22 hello! Sorry to be picking up on an old thread, I’m now in the same boat myself and wondering if you’ve now had success? Xx
