Anyone that’s taken longer than a year but conceived naturally….?

hi!
I’m going through a bit of tough time mentally with my journey TTC baby no. 1. It’s been 16m without even a hint of BFP, and I’ve had all the basic tests at the GP, and my husband has had his SA which are thankfully all normal. We have been eventually referred to the fertility clinic at the hospital and the appt is next month, which is a relief, and I hoping to perhaps be able to have a HyCosy or whatever else they recommend.

We will obviously keep trying whilst we wait for the appt and any testing etc, but I wondered if there was anyone out there that could share some positivity with a similar situation where they had been unsuccessful for many many months, and suddenly randomly got pregnant without medical intervention?

I am trying to prepare myself that we may eventually need IVF etc, but tbh I’m very nervous about that, and would love to know that there might be some women out there that felt hopeless like me, and then it suddenly changed for them! I’m also 36 next month so aware time isn’t exactly on my side which doesn’t help with the massive anxiety!

thanks so much for getting this far xx

Hi! I just wanted to update incase anyone else comes across this thread! I finally got my first ever BFP on my 17th month TTC. I don’t think I did anything different, apart from we literally had our first hospital infertility appt the same week it happened, so perhaps I subconsciously felt less stressed and that helped?!
Just wanted to say thankyou so much to everyone that responded to me and help keep me sane, it really helped!

Good luck to anyone still trying xxxxx

Lovely news, congratulations 🥰🥰

Don’t fall for the trap of IVF so suddenly, begin with holistic programme first
I have been infertile for over 10 years I done all test and I believe to work on myself

#1 took 19 months OH had low morphology

Just over a year for baby #1, over two years for baby#2. Baby #3 was a very quick unprotected moment when I was 37.

I never had investigations - I suspect I have PCOS but the answer would have been to lose weight (bmi around 33/34 for each pregnancy).

@PoppyPeaches just read through this thread as I'm in a very similar position, on month 15 of TTC and I've almost lost hope of it happening naturally.

Huge congrats on your BFP! You must be over the moon. It's always so nice to see threads like this updated with good news and it gives the rest of us hope!

I’m almost 2 years into ttc now
thanks for updating and congratulations!

1 year, a miscarriage and then had our daughter. We started all the testing and got some pre seed on the advise of some random chat board and fell pregnant. Turns out my husband had low counts so that made sense. Used it from the start the next time and got pregnant with our son in 6 months or so. **Not medical advice of course!

Yes Op after 13 years of marriage and 'trying' for most of that , we had 2 DDs at 32 and 34 . If you possibly can just relax and stop being so hung up about it . We had decided it wasn't going to happen and went on holiday to America and came back pregnant . The other baby was born 18 months after the first. Wishing you the very best of luck 🤞

Amazing news, congratulations!!
