Cycle #26 and losing hope - help me pull myself together

[threepiecesuite]

Just looking for positive outcome stories, and suggestions of things to get involved in to take my mind off ttc really.

Blessed to have our lovely DD who is starting school in September and I really don't think I'll be able to handle it well at all.
All of my antental group of whom I've very close to, have a second child now. It's hard.
This is where we're upto in the journey. Had blood tests, all fine. SA fine. Ultrasound fine. Waiting for Hycosy appt now. God bless the NHS but it's a slow process. Not back in clinic til end of August. I suspect I may have blocked tubes after a pretty nasty infection after my loop excision laser treatment last year. Unblocking them looks like low success rates I've read. If so, we have talked about the long road of saving up for IVF. I'm in the north west and it looks to be around 5k.
Oh, I'm 34.

I really had hope that we'd managed it this month. DTD lots after getting strong lines on OPKs. But no, Af here with a vengeance. What do you do to take your mind off ttc? I feel like it's consuming all of my thoughts, all month long at the moment.

Hey I have no advice for you, however in pretty similar situation, age 33, DD aged 6, cycle 36, 6 MC's , tests all fine bar slightly low sperm count for DP. Just want to say hang on in there we've done it once surely we can do it again?
Take care x

I'm also in the NW and IVF is really expensive around here. I am going abroad, it's so much cheaper.
There's not a lot you can do until you find out what the problem is but if it's blocked tubes then IVF looks likely
Kept us posted and lots if luck x

Thank you. Yes I live in hope that we've managed it before and we can again. I know many friends who have a bigger-than-planned gap between children.

Just hate all the waiting and false hope each month.
