Starting the Fertility Journey Again

Hi All,

New/intro post from me as I've just been referred and waiting for my first appointment to come through for fertility treatment. I'm 38 and have PCOS which makes my cycles completely erratic. My OH and I have tried to conceive on and off for 10 years without success. We've gone through phases of trying, phases of not trying, doing it ourselves and having help. Got as far as an IVF referral in 2011 but OH had significant health problems that made us put everything on hold for quite some time. Although we're much older now, we're both in the best physical and mental health of our lives. Like so many, the pandemic made us realise that it's well past time to seize the day with this and to give it one last real go. So here we are.

I know how important it is to have a bit of support, and what a rollercoaster the next wee while is going to be, so thought it would be a good idea to reach out and meet a few folks going through the same/similar. Looking forward to getting to know you & wishing you all the best of luck with your ttc journeys!

Hello and welcome! I am new here as well!
I am sorry you are going through this, but glad that you and your DH are healthy and ready to start trying again!

I am 38 as well with PCOS! I never thought it was such a common health issue before joining the forum. I'm single, searching for ivf clinics atm, and stressed about all the desicions and all the things I've got to research and learn!
I wish you good luck to this journey!

Hi,
I'm 30 and just recently had a failed IVF (March). I understand what you mean about being on and off about it.
Do keep us updated xx
