Can't try for 3 months... clocks ticking

Firstly can I just say I joined here less than a week ago and I'm addicted, it's soooo comforting knowing there's others out there who can relate and it's also nice speaking anonymously.

Anywho...

So basically we're ttc and nothing's been happening so saw GP. she wanted to ensure I was immune to rubella. Had the blood test and didn't think a lot to it. Went back for results on Thursday and I'm not immune. No biggy I thought and got booked in for MMR in 3 weeks. I happened to ring the GP earlier to clarify something and they'd had some cancellations so I went this evening to have my chlamydia swab and MMR. the nurse wouldn't give me the MMR as I couldn't 100% guarantee I'm not preg, I mean who can unless you're on your period and even then that's no guarantee 🙄 so basically I have to wait until the first day of my next period. I wish I'd been told that earlier.

Anyway, my cycles are all over the place so my next period could be in the next 2-5 weeks... then you can't 'try' after the vaccine, you have to have the second vaccine after 4 weeks... then wait another 4 weeks after that. So basically I'm just devastated tonight that really I'm going to have to wait 3 months before we can start trying again 💔😪💔

squirrelnutkins1 fertility... Just starting our journey. So far all tests point to OH though.. I 'seem' to be ok! How about you? Yeah I feel ok about it... It's frustrating but worth it to get all sorted. No side effects ethire which is good... Hope I don't jinx myself with the second injection now I said that lol.

@Miss83 bit of both for us 🙄 slightly low sperm count for hubby and I've had a whole host of other issues. Low AMH, endo, apparently not ovulating... argh!!!
Glad you are getting closer to a reason why and that it can be helped 💜
