Who do I even talk to?

[TTCBabyHoward]

I feel like my posts are verging on a bit depressive now. I just feel like I have no one to talk to. I know 4 pregnant women right now and I'm so jealous it sickens me. I can't even talk to them about it because my infertility would be raining on their parade. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow where they're going to take my blood just to double check all my hormones again before referring me to gyno. I'm 57 days late and I feel like I've tried everything I can before getting a drs help. I've tried prenatals, a variety of different things like inositol and macca root and nothing seems to be working. I keep trying to track my ovulation but my LH seems to surge and then disappear and then surge and disappear but never reaches "positive" - anyway if anyone has any infertility stories with happy endings that would be very helpful rn. 😅

@TTCBabyHoward hey lovely , do you have pcos ? Sound like it by the sound of how long you periods are ! And the ovulation not happening first time trying . Have you ever had a scan to see your ovary’s and if they look polysystic ? If you want to force start a period to reset your cycle, you could take norethisterone tablets and it will bring your period back to reset xx

@Ilovebees - I do have PCOS - they're just double checking my hormones before my next steps but in my results session I will be asking for something for my cycles - it's just a little tricker as we're also waiting on my partner to be tested (: x

@TTCBabyHoward ok tahts understandable now :) so what’s your plan for trying to get pregnant ? Are you interested to ask them for chlomid ? As this is something they prescribe for pcos patients to get pregnant . And there is another type too I forgot the name but I know chlomid works much better . How long have you been trying for a baby ?

Similar boat to you, have PCOS my blood tests came back all normal, waiting on GP referral now… my GP did prescribe me metformin in the meantime and I’m taking proceive and myoinositol, but still very fluctuating cycles! I never have strong LH lines they are always very faint, and quite similarly will have them one day and not the next and back again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Are you a healthy weight? What's your diet like? Do you exercise? These things sound so basic but honestly can make a massive difference to your fertility. I have struggled with infertility so this is coming from a place of good. I have PCOS and before my son periods were every 3-4 months and we needed ivf in the end. I lost weight after having him and BMI about 24/24 and my periods become regular. X

@Ilovebees - I've seen that letrozole is good but i'll probably be prescribed clomifene and nearly a year now but I've only had two periods since starting

@Ilovebees - My next step is medicating to see if that induces my periods and ovulation - been trying for just under a year but as I am 75 days late - they've started testing my hormones early - found discrepancies in my last two bloods so on the 27th when my next drs appointment is - I'll be asking for medication - they originally wanted to wait until my partners sperm got tested but I'd prefer to at least be on medication whilst we wait for that

@Henski - see I've had my two rounds of bloods but so frustrated that they haven't put me on medication yet - my next drs appointment is the 27th so practically going to beg in that appointment for them to give me something whilst waiting on my partners testing but completely get the LH lines struggle - really doing my nut in now 😂

@Elisabeth3468 - I'm only just under 10 stone but my weight fluctuates to just over sometimes so really depends but I definitely don't need to lose more - I struggle with an ED so losing weight for me can be a huge trigger so I try to stray from that but I've never been overweight - very happy for you having your son! I'm sort of hoping I don't get to the IVF step as I hate needles but at this point I'll do anything for one

no advice sorry but if I was your friend, I'd want you to speak to me about everything, even if I was pregnant (which I am). It makes me feel sad you feel you can't speak to them.
