TTC for 2 years

[SJP05]

Hey!
I have only ever looked at other peoples threads on here when in desperate need to find some answers to the questions you feel too silly to say out loud 🙈
But I thought I would ask my own questions now as i have so many!
Me and my partner have been trying to conceive for coming up 2 years. The Hospital have found no reason why we wouldnt conceive, very frustrating.
Earlier this year we started fertility treatments, so far we have had 2 rounds of Clomid, 2 rounds of injections but only 1 go of IUI. All unsucessful. I am currently having a months break and have an IVF appointment coming up. I am 26 so the idea of IVF is hard to come to terms with. 😔
My cycles have always been regular, around 25 days. This is the first month me and my partner have tried to conceive naturally since starting treatment (on our months break) and AF has started on day 18 of my cycle, 7 days earlier than normal!! I have reached the end of my teather, any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance! x

No advice. Just hugs. I've just gone through an ivf cycle after 2+ years ttc. It's shit and unfair. But I am the most pregnant I've ever been from it (5+4).

I wish you the best of luck! Your age is on your side for ivf.

@physicskate thank you. It has been such a hard process already I'm not sure I have the strength to make it through IVF too. Hopefully it happens naturally before it comes to that but we will have to wait and see.
I hope everything works out for you, all the best of luck. Thank you again for responding ☺️ x

Hey SJP05
I’m in the same boat. It’s 2 years this month for me and my husband. I have PCOS. Had 3 rounds of clomid which haven’t been successful. I also have an IVF appointment at the end of the month. I’m only 28 so know exactly what you mean by it being hard to come to terms with 😔
I really didn’t expect it to go that far and after reading up on it, I’m quite scared.
Hoping everything works out for you soon 😘

Hey @Amy3190
Im so sorry you are going through the same thing. I go through stages of having good days and bad days but its all just so crazy to come to terms with. As much as I want a baby I cant help but wonder if it is too early to be starting IVF.. I've seen so many different stories, people trying for 4 years with no help and one day eventually getting a BFP.
I guess I will discuss all this at my next appointment.
I wish you the best of luck, hope everything works out for you. Would be nice to keep in contact and see how you get on x

@SJP05 I’m the same. I think the longer it goes on the more emotional you become about it. It must be so hard for you with actually having cycles and tracking it each month. I can understand you thinking about delaying it but IVF maybe your best option. You just don’t know what’s going to happen do you? Hopefully when we have our appointments it’ll all become a lot clearer. It just all feels very unknown at the moment, don’t you think?
Wishing you lots of luck too. Would be lovely to keep in touch. I don’t know anyone personally whose had fertility issues so it’s really nice to talk to someone about it. Thank you! 😊

We have been ttc for coming up to 2 years also. I have a child from a previous relationship and have been pregnant with my current partner in the past. After going through every fertility test possible, they couldn’t find anything physically wrong with either of us and we were told that there was no reason we wouldn’t be able to conceive especially as I’ve already had a child. Having been pregnant twice whilst on birth control, I can’t help but feel that almost 2 years of timed sex off contraception and zero pregnancies means that it’s just not going to happen for us. We cannot afford any treatments especially not IVF (not eligible for funding because of my daughter) I think sometimes unexplained infertility can be more frustrating than having a reason. I really hope it happens for you soon :)

Also physicskate I didn’t know you were pregnant, congratulations!!!

Congratulations @physicskate that's such lovely news

OP I'm also on 2 years ttc (#2 so I know I'm lucky to have dc) and its totally unexplained for us as well. I really hope ivf does the trick for you. It must be so hard at your age but you definitely have time on your side so that's a small blessing. Hugs to you and hope you're looking after yourself

Thanks @Bubblegum89. Haven't seen you around. Hope you're doing ok. There are no chickens being counted over here... but I guess I'm in with a shout?

@CatRen27 @Bubblegum89 thank you both. I really wish you the best of luck and hopefully everything will fall into place soon! They do say everything happens for a reason, I just wish we knew what those reasons were!

@Amy3190 no problem at all! please let me know how you get on at your appointment, I'm sure we will both have so many more questions 🙈 x

Physicskate congratulations! I gave been following you... I wish you all the best in the coming months!!! You gives us hope💐
