TTC 2 years

Hi all,
Me and my partner have been TTC for almost 2 years now, just looking for some friends in a similar situation. I am currently undergoing fertility testing. My partner has super sperm so it would appear that the problem lies with me. I also have adenomyosis, however I was told that this does not neccessarily affect fertility. Yesterday I had a HSG test, which was quite unpleasant, I experienced really bad cramps which I am told can mean I have blocked fallopian tubes, although the doc that performed the procedure said everything looked good. Just waiting on results. Anyone else experiencing any similar situations?
TIA

Don't worry, I make up for it haha I take 2 x month long holidays every year haha
Yeah that's what I'm thinking...I'm just not used to swimming in my pants 😂😂
Yeah they say it comes down to science and timing and scheduling but it's never clear cut! Very frustrating sometimes!
Oh mate, when its scheduled it's actually hard work lol My partners like I NEED A BREAK 😂 #Sorrynotsorry
And then when I'm not in my fertile window he jumps me every bloody day. I'm like come on man haha

@Lasagne30 tell me about it, the scheduling and timing is the WORST, I’m so over it already! How are you feeling about this cycle?

Lasagne30 · 18/07/2021 09:23

@maw16 Ahh a bit deflated, I'm just finishing up my period now, taking the chlomid pills for the 3rd round now. On the plus side, I managed to get my appointment moved forward to Tuesday before I move so that's a relief. Still haven't got my progesterone test results back yet though which is weird because it was taken a week ago. Talk about slack! I will ring them tomorrow and hopefully they're back because I need them for the appointment 🤦‍♀️
How about you?

@Lasagne30 I know the feeling. Oh that is a relief, takes the stress off a bit as well!

That’s really odd that you still haven’t had your progesterone results back, did they say how many days it normally takes! Some women I’ve spoken to get it back same day which seems crazy quick! Mine normally took 2-3 working days. Yeah, no harm in chasing and calling them.

Same as you really, very deflated. Really worried that I won’t ovulate this cycle after last months weird dud cycle, so feeling a bit nervous. This is round 6 now and I just really struggle to imagine it ever working!

Lasagne30 · 18/07/2021 09:53

@maw16 Yeah I normally get it back within 2 days, and Ive never had to chase them for it before.

Yeah I understand that, I too was hopeful it would be wham bam thank you mam after 1 round. I guess I got my hopes up after reading some good reviews on it but I know everyones fertility journey is different.

Well lets hope that was a one off. Sending you positive vibes and hopefully this is your month. Try not to stress as I'm sure that can't be good. ❤

@Lasagne30 yeah I think I was the same, didn’t expect to have to do this many rounds so it can make you feel a bit uneasy!

Fingers crossed for you as well! Hope you get your blood test back soon too as well 💛

Hows everyone getting on? My 6th round of letrozole just failed as I got my period today. I’m getting to breaking point now tbh, not sure if I can keep going through all the disappointment

User1400 · 07/09/2021 16:11

Hi girls, jumping in as I am in the same boat.. TTC 2 years, awaiting appointment date for HSG. I’ve been told I need to loose weight if I am to receive NHS treatment which is an added stress , don’t know how much longer I can cope. How are you all doing xx

Lasagne30 · 08/09/2021 01:04

Hi ladies,
Sorry I've been a bit absent, but I FINALLY managed to move interstate with the restrictions lifted. What a pain that was haha
Welcome @User1400. Yeah I think even if you're a little bit over the norm they tell you to just so you're an ideal candidate. I was told to lose 10kg also, I've got 4 to go although being in quarantine I don't like my chances lol
Ohh that sucks @maw16 I know how you feel, I'm in good spirits today but tomorrow is another day. Just makes you want to give up.
I am on day 28 and no sign of AF yet but I'm not getting over excited.
Moving interstate I have to start the whole process over again, go to a GP, get referred, do hosp appointments, its going to be a pain so at this stage I am just sticking with the chlomid, I've got 2 repeats left. Hopefully I don't need the bloody things.

@Lasagne30 @User1400

Hey ladies, so just as we were scheduled to start IUI in September I got my first BFP on Sunday! We were in disbelief but I’m roughly 4 weeks 2 days! I have an early reassurance scan in a couple of weeks!

@Lasagne30 hopefully this is your month but at least you’ve got two more rounds of medication left! I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you x

@Lasagne30 @maw16

Heyyy, How’s everyone doing? It’s been a long time, like nearly a year since this thread started and we were all talking about our TTC journeys. Hope you’re all okay xxx

maw16 · 01/06/2022 19:11

@ljayc has it really been almost a year! I’m currently feeding my 2-week old! How things can change in a year, he was born in May. How are things with you? Hope you’re well xx

ljayc · 01/06/2022 19:39

@maw16 awww congratulations, so happy for you!! How are you finding being a new mum?

I’m not too far behind you, currently sat with my huge bump, due next month!! Also a boy! I only did 2 months of chlomid and then went for IVF in October and was success first round thankfully!! So now instead of moaning about infertility, I moan about back ache, heartburn, being kicked in the ribs constantly etc. 😂 And have to remind myself what I went through to get here! xxx
