    Good luck nichart:)
    When I went at 5 weeks they only saw a sac. But that will rule out ectopic:)

    Does anyone have any advice on how I can make myself feel better? I am so down about everything regarding TTC. I just don't know what to do anymore.

    Take one day at a time and focus on what you can do to increase your chances rather than worrying about the negitives. Hard to do I know, I'm having a bit of down day today too.

    Thanks for your advice. We've been trying for 5 years, its just so draining. I am at my wits end.

    Hi Fairydiamond.

    Do you have any problems that you are aware of, have you had investigations at all?
    Sorry hun, TTC for a long time sucks, I think we all have good and bad days, posting here can really help even if it is only to rant about the unfairmess of it all.

    Hi Fairy Diamond, coming here any sharing my worries offering any advice and talking with others that understand what you are going through really helps me so come back and rant, moan and share all you want, have you been refered to any fertility specialists as they should be able to refer you for counselling it's not for everyone but it might help x x ((hugs)) I hope things get better for you soon x x

    Hi Lisa,

    Yes we have problems and we've had all the investigations. Bloods, scans, tube test, etc, etc.

    I have PCOS and my husband lost one of his balls to cancer in 2008. (We stopped trying for a few months so he could get the cancer sorted out) We've been seeing the fertility specialist for years, we've had clomid and all that jazz. Just trying to lose some weight for IVF now. I just sometimes feel so down and fed up. Today is a bad day.

    Thanks for the comments, its making me feel better already.

    hi, we are in our fifth year too, i think we all have good and bad days, it helps to come here and let off steam among people who know what you are going through, i also have told a lot of friends and family as i find it helps to be able to talk openly, but thats a personal thing, have you got appointments etc, as i know after my last m/c looking ahead to the next appointment was all that kept me going, hope you feel better soon :)
