Anyone else really struggling with infertility and treatment being delayed due to Covid?

Hello!

First time posting so apologise if I'm repeating a previous post. I just wanted to have a bit of a moan about how difficult I'm finding the delays at our fertility clinic. My husband and I have being TTC for almost 2 years. He has low morphology and sperm count and I have uterine scarring and a thin endometrium so we have been told our chances of conceiving naturally are very slim and we will need IVF with ICSI.

We were referred to the clinic in March last year and we haven't completed initial tests yet due to Covid delays. I'm currently waiting for a hysteroscopy but they have cancelled the procedure until further notice. I feel like I've lost a year of my life.

We haven't been able to go on holiday or see friends and family to take our mind off things and I'm really struggling with all this time stuck at home during lockdown just waiting and thinking about our infertility and feeling like my life is on hold. I hate knowing that we have an issue but there's nothing we can do until procedures start up again.

Anyone else feeling frustrated with covid delays and how do you cope?

What age are you OP? The regular wait is 3 months at least in my area without COVID in the mix. If you are only just at the 2 years trying to conceive stage in some areas you wouldn’t even have been referred to fertility clinic yet. So in that respect it’s early doors. I think though the main thing to focus on is using this time to get to the healthiest mental and physical condition you can.

That sounds hugely frustrating and upsetting OP! I’m not going through this but I know someone who is and it is so tough.
