TTC difficulty conceiving but lacking support

Hi
Hoping for support or advice from people that just haven't got there yet !
I'm 29 with a DS who is now 6. I fell with our first while on contraception so actually no effort at all however we have been trying to conceive our second for almost 2 years and it's becoming a constant stress and downer each month when we have a negative test or my monthly arrives.

Ovulation is all over the place which isn't helping but after 6 months of a real crappy GP ive changed surgeries and I'm hoping for better support.

I have had only one positive test in the whole 2 years and miscarried may 18 at roughly 8 weeks

So where do I start, I've tracked my ovulation which is almost non existent and I have bloods to be taken on the 8th but where do I go from there?

Sorry for such a long starting post but it's hard to pop it all down

Grateful for any advice

I'm a long timer too!! It's so hard. We have tried so hard this cycle and I'm gearing up for Af here as I really don't feel any different! Starting to wonder if it will ever be my turn.

Oh it's so horrible isn't it.
I'm so sick of counting days using apps and peeing on sticks.
I just want to know what's up and what's making things so difficult by my previous gp literally said well if it doesn't happen there isn't anything we can do anyway as you have a Che which is so harsh to hear when all I want to know is what's going on at this stage.
Have you spoke to anyone yourself ?

@mummybear so sorry to hear that you're going through this, it is so rubbish. I have basically been in the exact same situation. I sacked off seeing the GP's and starting booking appointments with the senior nurses at my practice. These are so much more helpful than some GP's in my opinion. These nurses then converse with the GP's and get you referred. A nurse I've just recently saw referred me to a fertility specialist by speaking to the doctor, which is great. So this is something to try maybe xx

hey, I am a long timer aswell... 26yrs old & ttc for number 2 for now 4yrs!! I have however suffered a ectopic (managed to avoid surgery etc) & a miscarriage. With my first it was a unplanned pregnancy so was pretty straight forward, hes now 6 and a half years old.

I am now through fertility clinic and have been for 3/4 yrs... ive been through scans, clomid, blood tests, xrays on my tubes.. and nothing seems to be wrong although recently they now wondering if i maybe have PCOS but that can take some time to diagnose unfortunatley. They are now looking to get me on the waiting list for IVF. It is hard as my partner suffers with depression therefore he doesnt like talkin about TTC etc he rather just be told when i have BFP which i am fine with as he took our 2 loses very very hard.

Oh I so so feel for you.
It's so hard to just act normal Nd live day to day life when all you can think about is what could be causing you not to fall.
My other half also doesn't like to talk about it which made our it difficult for me to get over my MC.
I have no idea what's going on and would just like to know what is happening with my body but my gp literally said well you have a 6 year old with us partner so you wouldn't be entitled to any help anyway so why bother but that's the last thing I wanted to hear.
I have my fingers crossed for your future I hope your wait isn't too much longer
