Anyone have success after 23 cycles?!

We've been trying since August 2018. My periods pretty much went straight back into a regular cycle averaging 27 days. I've started spotting this month which I do every month before my periods comes so I know AF is on her way and there's just been a pregnancy announcement at work and it hit me in the gut and I just can't stop crying. Hormones 🙄 anyway we've had initial tests which all came back normal and JUST before lockdown we had our first infertility clinic appointment and by now I should have had more tests, an HSG (very apprehensive about this!) And an internal ultrasound including all the results from these but clearly that's all been delayed. Our consultation is rebooked for August I.e. 2 years after we started trying. I've convinced myself my tubes are blocked because what else could it be (I know rationally there could be many reasons or it could just be unexplained).

Does anyone have any success stories of conceiving naturally after 23 cycles? I need up lifting 😔

Hi Lankyliscuits,.
I am sorry i don't have a positive story for you but I didn't want to read and run. I'm sorry you are feeling this way, I've been there. I understand your pain. It took me and my DH 2 and a half years to conceive. We had IUI treatment which worked and I am now 15 weeks. I am sorry that your fertility investigations have been postponed that must be devastating. For me once I realised and accepted I wasn't going to conceive without help I felt like a weight had been lifted as I knew it was out of my control. You have done all the right things, just try and take the pressure of yourself now until August. I don't want to be insensitive but lots of people really helped me on the infertility forums. So maybe check that out as there are lots of people there you can reach out to that are going through exactly what you are. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. Take care and I wish you all the luck in the world x

Hsg wasnt too bad at all and it must have cleared my tubes because I immediately got pregnant.

Good luck
