I'm not really sure what I'm hoping to achieve starting this thread - perhaps a bit of encouragement/support/positivity as well as a bit of realism if necessary.
DP and I are both 33 and have been TTC our first for nearly 2 years now.
We have recently been undergoing investigations and my scans have come back showing I have lots of follicles on my ovaries. I've only been having two periods a year since coming off the pill, so this wasn't a surprise to me at all.
I had an appointment with the fertility nurse yesterday who explained that although I have polycystic ovaries, as my hormone levels are all normal, I don't reach the benchmark for an official diagnosis of PCOS.
She also said that DPs morphology is 1%, which was a bit of a shock as I was fully expecting the problem to be just me and was hoping I'd finally be able to start taking clomid to help with ovulation.
The nurse won't prescribe me anything until DP has had another SA in December. Having read up a bit, it doesn't sound like morphology is the be all and end all, but I'm feeling so disheartened that we have to wait for another 3 months. She also said that if his morphology was still low, we'd be looking at going straight for IVF.
Has anyone got any words of advice or things we can do in the meantime to increase our chances? I was really 'looking forward' to hopefully starting the next step soon, but now it looks like we'll be waiting until 2024.
I'm trying to lose weight and I've started inofolic alpha, and DP is also going to adopt some lifestyle changes (not that there's much to change as we're both very boring and don't drink/smoke etc).
Thank you to anyone who has made it this far. As I say, I'm not sure exactly what I'm hoping to achieve in posting this, but the internet is awash with advice and it all feels so overwhelming on top of feeling pretty miserable.
