TTC for 9 months+? Please come and join!

HI! May I join?
also been TTC for about a year now or just over with an early MMC during that period.
trying for DC2. It’s been hard at times, but now I feel I’m in a bit in a mind frame of if it happens then great and if not I’ll accept it. I’ve had investigations like bloods and scan and all seems ok.
Best of luck with your investigations, hope all is ok or you get some helpful answers!

Hi, I’ll join too! Been trying for my first since January with one early MMC in July. Currently 1DPO on my 2nd cycle since. Turning 40 next year and starting to worry so have asked for a referral, and I’m also getting the Day 21 bloods done this cycle, just need to try and book a slot.

Can I join?

TTC #2 now for 10 months. Getting very fed up and confused as to why it isn't happening

Fingers crossed for us all soon!

She's nearly three now. Also was a C Section baby, which makes me nervous

Did have an early miscarriage back in May, but nothing at all since and no hint of a line

Husband had a semen analysis which showed abnormal on some counts. Trialling some lifestyle changes and some new vitamins before November and if it shows abnormal again may just go to IVF as I'm already 35

Thank you, they said around 3 months so I’m hoping for January time. Did they give you any idea, or when you might get the appoint through?

Aww she's January 24 so very close! I'm sure it's just people trying to think of things that are wrong. Tbh by neighbour had a c section in May 24 and is now pregnant again, so it definitely seems fine for people

Before his semen analysis, I was just on basis folic acid and he was on nothing! He similarly just assumed he would be fine. He doesn't drink or smoke, but we think his diet missed quite a bit of protein as he is vegetarian so have stepped this up too

We now take

• proceive max man + woman
• fish oil
• ubiquinol

And then I take an extra high strength vitamin d, as the clinic said whilst I wasn't deficient they would prefer for it to be higher than it is

Let see if it works!

I think you’re right that it depends on where you live. My gp had offered me the 21 day bloods and an ultrasound but then backtracked after speaking to a colleague and said the fertility clinic would do the ultrasound. Same with SA, so I think it’s just the bloods I’ll get now to see if there is anything we can fix easily. I had bloods though when my period was late by 10 days around March time and the only thing it picked up out of range was TSH, which they have been monitoring since, and is now in normal range.

@Springcloud26 I remember you from a thread from few months back - Im so sorry to hear you had a miscarriage! It’s just such an awful thing. Hope you’re ok!

seems such a shame that it’s such a lottery on investigations depending on people’s GPs. Mine was lovely and referred me for bloods and scan pretty easily and early on.

I hope you get your cycle back soon and you know where you are, it must be really frustrating.

I keep trying to book my bloods online for Friday (6 DPO) but never any slots available, might have to phone gp again tomorrow and beg them to do it at surgery instead__! 😂

Hey @GreenApple121 I remember! I think that was the first time I properly joined a thread in the TWW and I was so full of hope 😂

Thank you, I’ve been trying to take it as a positive that I can conceive, but I still get waves of grief when I think how far along I would have been now.

How are you doing?

Honestly I’m tempted just to turn up to one of the clinics and try my luck! 😂

Yes, it took 7 weeks post MMC for hcg to drop to below 10, so I couldn’t use lh strips to track ovulation and I completely missed it, unless it was anovulatory. AF came about a week after that and lasted 13 days! But that cycle was back to my normal 32 days. Now on 2nd cycle, AF normal length and ovulation timing normal too, so I’ve got my fingers crossed!

@Springcloud26 good luck with the cycle! Miscarriage is so heartbreaking hope you’re doing ok and it definitely can take time to heal emotionally…
I’m doing ok thanks! Not much news on my side, we keep trying, my tests came back normal and we didn’t bother with partner SA as decided we wouldn’t go down IVF route and he has made a lot of lifestyle changes.
I haven’t always been tracking ovulation, but think will do it for the next few months to give things the best shot!

Yes they said they would call me if they get a cancellation for Friday, to keep checking the clinic links and to phone them back every afternoon just in case! 🤞

Oh fingers crossed for you! Will you test again later to see if it goes up again? Do you tend to have quick peaks or do they take a while to surge?

Hey! Can I join too! I trying for DC2 and I’m just getting more and more pissed off. Last time it happened so quickly- wondering if it was my C section which damaged something or if it’s because I’m two years older. Been having sex perfectly around ovulation and vagina just isn’t playing game ! Just need a place to chat and discuss and it’s getting me down, thanks everyone xx
