Hey, the title says it all really. My periods have been irregular for the last 3 years since I had my copper coil removed (non hormonal coil so shouldn't have made any difference to my cycles) and my husband and I have been desperately TTC since to no avail whatsoever. We have our first appt at the hospital on Thursday at the womens and newborn unit...how cruel is that, I don't know how I will cope. I can't even watch the soaps characters and their pregnancy announcements without feeling the heartbreak. I have taken fertility supplements that I expected to work because I have read they work on other women but in all honesty I think some of them have been the cause of my missed periods/irregular cycles. I don't think I ovulate, my BBT never has a pattern and I hardly ever get a positive opk. I just don't know what to do, or what to take to help. The pain is unbearable that I may not be able to have a child with my husband. I already have 2 grown up boys to a previous relationship so I have been fertile.
My neighbour actually asked me outright yesterday if I am expecting. I'm an average size 12 woman so maybe I looked bloated but that comment has really hurt me. Its all I think about and all I want before its too late for me. I am 42 with a younger husband.
