TTC - month 8

[Nelly08]

I’m in my early thirties and me and my partner decided to try for a baby so I can off the pill in November, now in May we are still TTC. All of my friends fell pregnant really easy and now I’m starting to worry. I haven’t got anyone to talk to about this and it’s really starting to get me down. I track ovulation and BBT monthly and ovulate with all the signs each month - hopefully someone has been in my shoes or is in the same boat and we can support each other
thanks for reading x

Yes I had a hycosy and hyteroscopy all under GA, which were clear.

Are you ovulation tracking if you have irregular cycles?

It's worth pursuing the NHS route after a year if you haven't already? We found it quite quick after the initial wait for GP appointments and it probably depends on your area/consultant but we were able to mix and match NHS and private so we had NHS appointments but had the surgery privately as it was a few weeks wait instead of many many months.

Also it's differing opinions as I had a private scan with a different gynaecologist who said my ovaries looked close together on a scan which can be a sign of endo but he didn't think it was. Then the second gynaecologist I saw through the NHS did the same scan and made the same observation but said she was 99% sure it was endo and recommended surgery... So frustrating as it felt like so much time wasted!

Yes we are tracking!! With LH testing and BBT and I am ovulating every month by the looks of things, timing it with ovulation too!

Yeah I think we will start the NHS route too, see what comes up! Still holding out hope that it’s less than a year so we can absolutely still conceive, but we will see how it goes! Honestly when will it end 😅 xx

Although it doesn't feel like it, you are still early days and up to a year is normal... Hopefully better luck for you in the next few months 😊

Thank you so much 🩵
