Hello all,
I have read a few posts on here but never posted anything myself, it seems like such a supportive and knowledgeable community and after a very unhelpful phone consultation with my GP I am just looking for some shared knowledge and advice.
A year ago, aged 36 I fell pregnant, it was unplanned and I was still of the mindset that I didn't really want children. But seeing my friends and two brothers have kids I decided to continue with the pregnancy. As the weeks passed I started to love being pregnant, I was nauseous and bloated and my boobs hurt sooo bad but it was also incredibly magical and exciting.
Approaching my 12wk scan date I decided to tell my family and work that I was pregnant.
At the 12 wk scan I was told the foetus had died, probably around the 9wk mark. I then had an operation to remove the matter. A few weeks later I got a call telling me they had run some test that confirmed I had had a partial molar pregnancy.
X3 months of giving urine and blood for tests later I was given the all clear to try again.
I have used clear blue digital ovulation sticks to track my cycle but with no luck, I get nothing when I should be showing fertile and then 4 - 7 days of flashing smileys, followed by nothing...empty circles... I have maybe once had a solid smiley.
A year on, aged 37 I am feeling utterly defeated and non the wiser as to what I am doing wrong. I am feeling so low and helpless with all this, every month is a whirlwind of emotion, ending in disappointment.
Is there anything else I could/should be doing to improve my chances... I so desperately want to be pregnant.
Many thanks for reading.
