Not sure what I’m looking for by posting on here, perhaps just someone to talk to, or to feel ‘seen’ or ‘heard’
I’ve been with my partner for coming up 7 years in June. We’ve never tried to prevent pregnancy yet never have successfully fallen pregnant. Although I did go on the pill for a few months ish but it made me feel horrible so I came off it. For reference, my mother has 12 children, his mother has 3 chidlren, I have none, he has 6. Ever since a teen I’ve had on off periods, went to the doctors and nothing come of it. At 21/22 I went to the doctors for pain in my lower pelvic area, this turned out to be a very large ovarian cyst and a twisted ovary which I had surgery and it was removed, the cyst, not the ovary. I still have two ovaries. They said my fertility wouldn’t be affected after this although they did say my left ovary had an increased number of cells but they didn’t find it to be polycystic . Ever since then I’ve not had proper periods either, once every few months and spotting every few weeks or so, I often get period like symptoms but no period, nothing they said to be concerned for. I guess I’m just wanting to get it off my chest and see if anyone else is in a similar situation. I don’t like to talk about it often as it does upset me. I have often thought I was pregnant and taken tests but dishearteningly they have been negative. I guess I just feel as if my body is failing me. I would love to experience pregnancy and have one of my own but I feel this will never happen for me and it doesn’t help when people around me are often asking when I will have a baby. 😓
