7th month TTC

[blueym]

Hello,

I’m in my 7th cycle of ttc No1 and feeling slightly impatient, I’m 27 and I get a positive OPK every month, get ovulation pains and have a very regular 28 day cycle.
I do feel positive that it will happen and I don’t feel too upset, I guess I’m just feeling slightly impatient and possibly a wee bit worried.
Has anyone got positive stories of conceiving after 6 months of trying? Is this normal?

Thank you!

@CitylifeTTC that's great that pcos won't impact anything as you are ovulating normally. DH has definitely had some months of feeling the pressure too, and I have heard so many people talking about impacts to libido so seems to be very normal- it only takes one sperm ☺️ recently, I have found not mentioning DTD in the context of conceiving helps, and making it well and truly about pleasure so that it is just like our sex life perks up a bit over fertile week but not in a 'we better do it as much as possible in order to have a baby' way. It is so hard. We have also had to try and spice things up to get through it! 😂

Sorry sent too soon!

I have been really happy with Fertility Plus so far. I have heard that a lot of doctors don't take luteal phase defects seriously so I am very pleased mine has been treated so quickly ☺️

I just wondered if anyone had any updates on this thread?

Hi @Hoping43
Sadly no success story from me yet. I honestly didn't expect it to take this long and I can't believe that this thread was back in March and I was feeling hopeful back then and now we are in October 😂
TTC update:
Since March, I continued at Fertility Plus for a while doing cycle tracking and ovulation but found it all a bit too stressful in June and stopped completely, deciding to go to my GP for investigations since a year had been a gone.
In order to be referred to the fertility clinic, I needed to have cycle day 3 bloods and a pelvic scan and only just got the pelvic scan last week so have a follow up appointment with the GP next week to discuss the results and sent off the referral, probably to Homerton Hospital.
DH and I decided that depending on the estimated waiting time for treatment (we are expecting it to be long), we will likely go ahead with private IVF in January at ABC IVF as we thankfully meet the criteria and their price is lower than comparable clinics (definitely lower than Fertility Plus!). We are allowed three cycles on the NHS where we live and they do count Private ones so if we could technically have a private cycle while we wait for the NHS one and if it fails, the NHS cycle would be treated as the second cycle.

Hope all ok with everyone else, and that you have a better success story than mine!

@LondonladyTTC thanks so much for replying. I’m in a completely different situation to you as I already have two children and I’m trying for a third. I was reading the thread last night and wondered how you had all got on.

I’m on my 7th month TTC and worrying about other stuff such as secondary infertility after having a c section.

It’s such a tough journey and doesn’t get any easy second or third time around!!

@Hoping43 sorry to hear that you are also experiencing TTC stress. Wishing you all the best and my fingers are crossed for you!

Hi there

I just wondered if anyone else was still on this thread and how everyone was getting on.

I am in my 7th month ttc. I keep thinking each month that it can take up to a year and maybe this month will be the one buts hard. I'm 35 and feel time is not on my side.

Oof, I’m way past 7 month now and we’re still trying. I’m two days late this month and just got two evaps on pregnancy tests today so it gave me false hope :( Will try again in two days if AF doesn’t show.

@goingcrazyttc where are you in your cycle?

Hello just wondering if anybody ended up getting pregnant as in the same situation now! Would be lovely to hear a reassuring story x

Hi @Anonymous987
Sorry to hear you are going through a long TTC process. It's so stressful and wishing you success soon.
I went ahead with IVF in January last year which was successful and now have three month old for three other embryos in the freezer for for the next if we have trouble again.

@Anonymous987 no luck for me. Can’t believe I posted on here in oct 2021 and another 16 months has gone by. Looks like it’s month 23 now then! I have lost count. Secondary infertility for us x

Oh no @Anonbaby. so sorry to hear that. How old is your first? You thinking of considering ivf?
@LondonladyTTC great news! Congratulations!

@Anonymous987 i actually have 2! They were 1.5 and 4 when we started trying. Considering IVF but the thought of it feels stressful when we have had two conceived without any issues! It’s mind blowing isn’t it x

It really is! I’m trying to conceive number 2 and feel very stressed most days! Been trying for 9 months so trying not to get too worried yet but do get concerned about what the ideal age gap looks like!

Hi, success story here we conceived naturally after 2 years TTC and 3 months before we were due to start IVF - we now have a healthy 8 week old baby girl 🙂
I know it’s hard but try and stay positive xx
