Hi,

Just a quick one really. Me and DP have been TTC since March/April 2018, so all in all about 18/19 months I think? To put a bit context here's the details-

-I came off the pill end of March 2018 so it took my periods a long time to regulate, and even now they're not great although they're getting better. Most months I have a 34 day (average) cycle.

-We tried for 9/10 months for our first baby. This at the time seemed really long but I know it is completely 'average'/below a year. We sadly miscarried this baby. No known cause, just 'bad luck'... we lost our baby in March.

-before I got pregnant I had a scan due to pain on one side. They found cysts on my ovaries but these soon cleared up and blood tests came back normal. I have a follow up scan for this next month.

-we've been trying again since our MC in March and still haven't had any luck. Periods are just starting to regulate now so become slightly more hopeful.

-DH sperm fine, and nothing else to suggest infertility.

So my question is, if you had been trying for the amount of time We have, would you be worried? 19 months sounds like a long time but my family and doctors keep on saying that if you take away all the time that my periods took to regulate after coming off the pill and the miscarriage etc... we have not been trying too long at all. We conceived in under a year last time I know, but I'm still quite worried. I'm an anxious person but I'm just wondering whether or not I should be really concerned or whether my situation is quite normal...

Thanks, any advice would be brilliant x

I think its quite normal to be honest. I have PCOS so my situation isnt the same but i was with my ex for 3 years before i fell pregnant ( and had 3 pregnancys before i took a baby home from the hospital )

Been with my now DP for 2 years and not had a sniff of pregnancy,

Its made out like conceiving is very easy but actually its not,

I'm an anxious person too, so yes, I would be worried. Unfortunately I think nothing can be done in terms of fertility treatment until 12 months after your miscarriage though? I'm assuming you're using OPKs etc? If I was you, as soon as that 12 months mark comes round, go to your GP and be a bit pushy, ask for further testing.

The likelihood is it is just one of those things, as you have conceived before. I would still be proactive though if you're not pregnant before 12 months after your MC.

So sorry about your MC, that's so horrible and sad Thanks
