Success storys after 12 cycles?

[xoxochellexoxo]

About to hit my 12th cycle TTC. No known issues and waiting for OH semen analysis, anybody thought it wasnt going to happen ever amd then it did? Honestly feel like im the only person in the world who cant get pregnant and everywhere i go pregnancy is there like a big reminder that it still hasnt happened yet. I want to give up im at that stage of going FUCK IT!!! But deep down i just want to have a baby and i feel like its never going to be my turn, any tips to relax and not give a shit welcome

3 years, one tube, various tests to be told ivf only will work. Broke down. Last chance, had a lap and dye, brilliant dr, got pregnant 2 months later... ate a little better, drank 1ltr water every morning and walked a little more. I'm heading towards 40 aswell

I have just had my positive on cycle 14. Never thought it would happen for me. We had bloods and semen anaylsis done all came back fine. This month i was most stressed I've ever been. I tried acupuncture had 4 sessions not sure if that was the difference or if it was just our time x

Tried for 2 years. Had all the tests. Around 2 years on, the consultant said there was no chance. IVF was not an option, icsi wouldn't work, consider adopting. We gave up. He wouldn't consider adoption, so we just fell apart a bit, in all ways. I got pregnant, totally unexpectedly, about a year later and ended up with a baby. Nothing for a long time, then a miscarriage 4 years later.

I know there is worse people off than me but im an overthinker and its really difficult telling myself it will happen when its the right time but my head just keeps thinking allsorts of crap, i didnt think it would take this long and i know when it does happen i will think why was i worried but its the unknown its the always wondering why hasnt it happened yet

It's horrendous it really is. I needed counselling. It's also groundhog day waking up oh great I'm infertile, everyone else has a quickie then gets pregnant. It's unfair and it is absolutely gut wrenching. I read somewhere it's the same grief as losing a loved one. You need to look after yourself. How old are you and have you had any tests? X x I hope it does happen soon. I even distanced myself from anything that stressed me out and changed jobs! But it's so easy to say relax xx

Have you have any tests? Not just semen. Don't worry you are allowed to be frustrated. We can't control this. It's not the same as getting a job/moving house

@Clearthinking iv had day 3 bloods done to check my thyroid,fsh,lh and progesterone and they came back satisfactory so the GP wont do anything for us until OH has had semen tests done and if they come back normal they said we have to have been ttc for 18 months before we could be reffered for treatment, i would also need to loose around 2 stone as my bmi is at 38 and needs to be 30, my OH already has a DD from his previous marriage but this will be our firsg together, im 31 and he is 33.

Very good yours came back fine! They might suggest getting your bmi down. Start drinking more water, flush toxins out, try and walk more and cut down on anything sugary. I remember this thing an ivf dr said recommending adjusting the diet a bit works wonders for the body. I'm not sure what else they might suggest but I believe you can challenge this and become a mummy x

We tried for 3 years. Gave up completely and started saving for a round the world trip. Not long after that I got pregnant! TTC is the absolute pits. It does something bad to your brain. I remember after about a year my brother and his wife had an 'oops' pregnancy and I totally lost it. Swore I'd never have anything to do with the baby Have you anyone you can chat to? Now I have 3DC and am arguing with the doctors that I want to be sterilised Never thought I'd get to this point!

Dd1 was 11 cycles. Hoped it would be quicker second time around, but dd2 was 18 cycles. All the tests came back fine, just took ages. It's so hard when it feels like everyone else can get pregnant straight away. All the best.

What gets me the most is iv spent so many years trying to prevent pregnancy because your made to think it happens so quick when it doesnt! I had no idea that it could take a healthy couple 12 months to conceive. I am the worst at thinking bad things and oh there MUST be something wrong, i guess it will happen when its our time i just need to learn to be patient. I have only told my sister in law that we are TTC because i didnt want to get anybodys hopes up and the constant "are you pregnant yet" all you hear is the storys of people having "oops" pregnancys you never hear of people who have tried for longer. Did anybody need help to conceive or did it eventually happen naturally?

This could honestly be me writing this. I’m the same months ttc, feel the exact same, I’ve been referred to hospital and oh SA is soon. My bloods came back fine too. I’m hoping that I’ll get a surprise before I get my appointment through. So so disheartening every month when af arrives. I feel like going back and telling my younger self that it’s not quite that easy to get pregnant. I’m 33 been with my oh 17 years so maybe we really should have done it earlier but I decided getting my career sorted and seeing the world Was first on the agenda but wishing I could go back now. It will happen for us soon I’m sure hang in there

@Timetotry123 I never felt ready to become a parent so had reserved myself to thinking i just wouldnt have any then i met my OH and he already had a daughter so i became a parent to her pretth quickly as we have sole care of her and then fast forward 3 years and i finally just want a baby, i believe it will happen its just a matter of when hopefully soon for us both
