Why why why can't I get pregnant?

[PotatoesPastaAndBread]

Age 35 TTC #1 for 22 months. 22nd consecutive BFN today.

We've had scans and dyes and sperm tests and operations to remove polyps; we've cut down on alcohol, wheat and sugar; we've increased protein, vegetables and vitamins; we've tried on weekdays, weekends, every day, consecutive days; we've counted, not counted, OPK'd, ignored dates; we've focussed, we've relaxed...

Everyone* is pregnant. My teacher, my hairdresser, work collegaues, friends...

Why the fuck can I not get pregnant? It's not fair.**

*this statement may contain a small amount of exaggeration.
** yes many things in life are unfair, and many people have a lot less fairness in their lives. But I'm halfway through a jumbo bag of maltesers and need a rant. Thank you for listening.

Oh just seen old thread and 2014 😳😳

Let’s hope some on this thread have had success

Maybe this will give hope

In 2014 it had been 8yrs for me ttc and 2 failed ivf

In 2016 after 10yrs ttc and 4 failed ivf the 5th worked and dd born 2017

2019 she is 2.5

@Bluerussian most unhelpful advice ever 🙄

Oh I'm sorry, I've just known so many people who thought they couldn't conceive and after a while they had three children, one after the other!
I won't say it again though, I meant no harm but I expect the op has had it said to her over and over.

How many people do you know that that has happened to @Bluerussian?

This is a very old thread
@Queenoflondon you'd be better off starting a new thread or searching old threads on secondary infertility.

Glad you won't say that trite advice again on infertiliry boards and hopefully not in real life to anyone gebyikneky struggling @Bluerussian it gets really old really quickly and however many people suddenly get pregnant many many more are quietly hiding their pain behind closed doors.
IVF is no magic bullet and neither is relaxing/going on holiday/eating pineapple /not eating pineapple/any number of other random suggestions.

Queenoflondon I would say if you have conceived naturally to keep trying. It depends on your age and if you want to wait. Have you been back to see a specialist after miscarriage and what did they suggest?

twinkledag, I don't want to derail the thread but to answer your question, a few. I'm nearly seventy so have known many couples over the years, some of whom believed they wouldn't ever have a child but did - more than one! Others didn't and some did not know why, all investigations showed no reason. That was very sad, however they moved on and had happy lives even though it wasn't what they envisaged.

I agree with what Kirmcd said, above. I do hope the op becomes pregnant in the not too distant future (& have a feeling she will).
