Long term TTC buddies?

[Wilsonicus]

Hi all! How's everyone today?

We've been TTC for 5 years now, and it just feels absolutely endless! Is anyone else in the same (or a similar) boat to us? It would be super nice to chat to others who have gone through the same things. None of my friends have had fertility issues, so I feel like, besides my wonderful and super patient husband, I have no one to talk to about all of this.

I've got PCOS and endometriosis, which is obviously a bitch of a combination. I had surgery 2 years ago to remove a cyst and endo and it looks like another surgery may be in my future. I had a very early miscarriage in January, which was my first ever pregnancy. Honestly some days it feels like it'll never happen, and I should just get like a bajillion more cats and call it a day.

But here we are, TTC cycle a million, hoping that this time will be the time. I'm turning 30 at the end of September, and was really hoping to be a mum by the time I was 30. When I was 25 I couldnt even imagine it would have been going on this long!!!

Anyway, tell me your stories? And so much good luck to everyone trying this month and all the months to come :)

@Wilsonicus hi! I feel like I typed this 😂 I have PCOS and endo too. We were 2 years past TTC in February and fell pregnant in March with our first pregnancy that ended in miscarriage in May. It's absolutely devastating when you've waited so long. We've just taken in a kitten a month ago to fill the void.. We had 2 cats already haha. No happy success story here yet but didn't want to read and run. This cycle has been a weird one for me.. I'm on 15DPO, no sign of AF but have so many pregnancy symptoms. I had a faint line on an IC at 12DPO but tests have been negative since and a temp drop yesterday. No idea what's happening. Dud tests, chemical.. Who the hell knows. I'm so frustrated with everything now I feel like giving up. Best of luck to you and lots of baby dust your way!

Bit late to the party on this one but just joined mumsnet. In a similar situation. Officially been ttc for nearly 3 years with no success after two rounds of IUI. Now looking into IVF and feeling hopeless and lost. Would be so pleased to buddy up and chat with anyone that needs a shoulder! Ha your situation changed since this post? X
