I think it's time for me to book in to see my doctor...
I came off the pill last September and I haven't been successful.
I have irregular cycles since DD and even my luteal phase varies by 1-2 days.

Can anyone tell me what will happen please?

My anxiety is really starting to kick in about what will happen next and as you can imagine, I'm feeling really low about it all 😔

I suffered 2 ectopic pregnancies before DD and only have one tube. But I conceived her within 3 months.
I've tried everything... Opks, bbt, preseed, relaxing, going on holiday, smep. It's totally killed the fun between me and DH. He only has sex with me in my fertile window, no matter how much he denies it.

I've waffled! Sorry. I just need to know what I need to do next x

Definitely go to the doctor OP! If only for peace of mind.

Can I ask how old you are? And whether you've been tracking your cycles - irregular though they are - as the doctor will probably ask that.

Hi.

I'm 31. A very tired 31 😂
I had everything since sept in my old phone, which died a few weeks ago.
Had every date of DTD, periods and ovulation on there. I did start temping two months ago, so have the charts. I've not had one cycle the same in a year 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm just so scared they will turn me away and I'll feel even worse x

It can take up to a year for your body to get back to normal after stopping for the pill so the dr might not be as willing to help just yet.

How irregular are your cycles?
Mine varied from 29-76days and I conceived within 14 months with 1 mc.

It honestly just takes time and with one tube it might take a bit longer. I would maybe lose all the opks and spa and just dtd regularly and go by ewcm. Taking a more relaxed approach really can make it happen!

Good luck and 🤞🏻For a bfp soon!

Thank you.
They are only irregular by up to a week. But I was like clockwork before DD, she was born Feb 17, so thought I'd be settled by now 🤷🏼‍♀️
I can't stop crying today, I feel so silly. I don't think I'm depressed, but it is affecting my wellbeing. Everyone seems to be getting pregnant but me lol maybe I should have just stuck with the one after all it took to get her..
I'm not sure what the doctors do though. I'm there at 9:40 x

Get the doctors to do a full hormone profile, all the normal fertility hormones plus thyroid function. My GP is excellent and gave me these no issues. They really shouldn't fob you off after a year

It's so hard when you want it so much and we all have times when we're really down about it. It's supposed to be this wonderful time in life but actually it can really suck!

Hopefully the dr's will focus on the one tube aspect and maybe give you a scan to check the remaining tube is all good or maybe send you to the fertility clinic who can start you on clomid to get the good side producing an egg every time

I have a ttc buddy who only has one working tube, we started our ttc journey together and she fell naturally 2 cycles after me so it's totally possible with one tube 😊

Is there anything else you can start like acupuncture or reflexology to make you feel like you're being productive and keep you occupied?

Try to keep positive! It will happen 😊
