Hi All,

Not sure exactly what I'm looking for here, either someone to pull me out of the gutter or remind me to look at the starts.

I've been ttc for 18m now with nothing happening. I'm under a clinic they diagnosed pcos but I'm not convinced that is the cause. I ovulate every month take recommended vitamins and still nothing. Tried lethrozole and didn't work, now on gonal f injections this cycle.

I just am so sick of waiting, not being able to plan anything and at times I'm not very nice to be around.

I've a son who is 2 and took 20m to conceive naturally and I just want him to have a sibling.

Sorry for the rant needed to get it off my chest

Has your husband/partner had his sperm tested? He should also be changing his lifestyle when ttc. No hot baths are soo important and also limiting alcohol and fast/processed foods. Fingers crossed for you!!

I had a miscarriage when I was 18 and knew I wanted to be a mum so bad it took me 2yrs to conceive my son it just happened one day i was with my sons dad for 9 years after nothing that’s until we broke up and I met my new partner and I got pregnant

Yes we've both been tested individually no testing done on embryos etc. as we haven't gotten to that stage yet. We've cut down on processed food and alcohol bar the odd treat or when on holiday (once a year because we still have to live). I've taken every supplement recommended anywhere. I've finally got an appointment to see an endocrinologist after waiting over a year so I'm hoping she can offer some insights.

It's just so hard to keep trying and failing. I've no idea why it's not working as everything bar pco is clear

I know how frustrating it is each month when that test comes back negative but honestly the best thing you can do is try to stop thinking about it and just make sure you're having sex often and not getting too stressed about it. My partner and i ttc for 2.5yrs even had failed ivf and just before i was about to start another round of ivf, i found out i was pregnant (20 weeks now) and the only thing I did differently was decided to take the summer off (no planned sex during ovulation, no obsessing over my period etc) and then bam, it happened!
