Fertility concerns way too early on? Advice please

[flowerexpress]

My partner and I have been ttc for 2-3 cycles now (think we dtd too late on cycle #1). I am nearly 32. We decided to start trying after they found what they think may be a small polyp in my womb when investigating severe uti like symptoms. The doctors have been very unhelpful tbh - contradictory advice and "urgent" gynaecologist appt that I can't even book (just says no appts available when I follow online booking).

In desperation (uti pain was terrible) I paid to see a gynaecologist who said my uterine lining was much too thick and recommended polyp removal as a precaution (very very expensive!) and said endo was a possibility but she couldn't see any of the other signs. She believed I had a uti. Gps said ovaries and womb look otherwise fine. Lady who did ultrasound said carry on trying for a baby - didn't seem worried.

GPs have been very unhelpful with debilitating uti symptoms (since Christmas). I'm self-treating atm with any remedies I can think of (currently probiotics and lots of garlic which seems to be finally giving me some mostly pain free days).

My cycles are between 24-30 days. Not sure if this counts as irregular? 2 days heavy ish bleeding and then very light for one or two days after. I also keep getting dull ache pain over right ovary area which is concerning me but am very anxious generally as have ptsd.

Am I being silly and need to relax as probably all fine or should I be asking more questions and, if so, who to? Please be kind - I realise I am a total worrier (comes with the ptsd) and willing to hear I'm overreacting. Hope my post isn't triggering or upsetting to anyone who's been trying longer - genuinely sorry if it is. Thanks so much for any advice x

@flowerexpress Hey hope you are ok! I would say you are still super young and well within a normal age range for decent fertility and also very very early to be concerned. It can take up to a year for healthy couples to fall pregnant and some even two years with no issues at all. I would say if they have recommended you have a polyp removed then that's what I'd do. I saw a Gynae in cycle 2 as I kept getting spotting after sex and I was so worried. Turns out everything was perfectly fine she just found an erosion which she treated and said it won't affect fertility at all. The bleeding has now stopped and everything back to normal but she did say if the bleeding doesn't stop after sex then it could be a polyp and that's the only thing she would be concerned over as she said it can sometimes (not always) affect the ability of implantation. But if they can't see endo and everything else looks fine, just try to relax and keep on trying! Cycles between 24-30 days are normal and your periods sound normal too! I have two days of heavy flow and one day of spotting / next to nothing. I was confirmed by a private Gynae as all normal and my cycles are 25/26 days every month so you sound normal! Xx

Hi i had a termination on 21st February i was 6 and a half weeks.I realised a week later i made a big mistake i am struggling with it am ttc again but for past few weeks i have had flashing face twice a day i dont know if am ovulating am 36 i already have 3 children but would love to have a girl

@Riben probably best you start your own thread

@flowerexpress I had a polyp and was not it is near impossible for an egg to implant with a polyp and was referred for Hyscopy and surgery.

During the hyscopy it was found to be something else for me, but when it was a polyp I was told I would not be able to get pregnant.
