The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Part_Mouse

Cwtw I know what you mean about other people and their moments, just makes your blood boil.from time to time I get told to just relax and it will happen, grr I don't ov my own so fat chance of that happening.

Morning everyone.

Code, I'd give them a call too. I no longer have any qualms about being a pest (but I too use some excuse about me being dippy!).

Well, I had my second scan yesterday. Lining pretty good at 7.8, and they found a 14mm + 9mm on left ovary this time (don't know where they appeared from) but only one 12.5m on right ovary. So, still not great but not quite the disaster it was before. Bit worried they'll cancel for only 3 follies. Feeling better about it than Friday!

Will have a better catch up on everyone tomorrow when I can use work computer!

I feel more comfortable on this thread to, but do tend to post more on the other one with rants and chats. Like I said I don't feel at the moment I can contribute to this thread until I've at least had my day 21 bloods and hubby had his tests.
I'm still normally ttc. I hate being in limbo between the 2.

Today is also the first day in months that I could be tempted to test. But then my mind says no, you can't put up with seeing that one single line again.

Derby glad to hear ts looking more hopeful.

Hi Vesper... i feel in the same scenario .... :cool: Having had the day 21 bloods and been told i am totally okay hasn't helped me feel much better though lol.... I am now scared it'll be hubby with the issue And the biggest scary thought is that there may be no "problem"" with either of us... that we are just not "made for each other" in the sense of reproducing. :(:(

Hi, thanks for your kind messages. There was no one at the hospital yesterday morning so I left a couple of messages. I'll have to try again on Monday morning with everyone else fighting to get through.

Angel, it's funny how different people think. They probably thought they were saying something that would make the family happy at a sad time. I'm not sure if I would though.

A few months ago OH's close friend text him their 12 week sonogram picture saying 'oops' to announce their pregnancy. Grrrr. And we've been trying for longer than they've been together but they don't know about our situation.

I never joined the other thread; just came straight to this one.

Sorry I can't remember who said they'd not heard from the hospital. I phoned when I had not heard from them and the letter had gone AWOL. I used the 'i'm eager to get started' excuse.

Well AF didnt appear to stay long, less than a day and off again, still at least she made an appearance

ttd - you may be surprised with how different you feel with a touch of levythyroxine (the only treatment in the UK), I knew I was ill before going on it but I never realised how much and only do so when I'm not on it (dreadful for forgetting my meds)

Hopefully everyone has had a thyroid function test to check everything is ok as it it the main cause of my infertility and a complete pain!

Think I'll get hubby to ask the hospital about referral when he goes in for his SA on the 18th. I was meant to be being refered by my Doctor, but heard nothing at all.

Sat bored, AF hasn't arrived yet, but only a day late at the moment.

Great news Derby. Remember you don't want lots of follies, you just want one baby - so three may be enough. You see people with 20 follies, and no pregnancy, so still looking good.

Re posting on this thread - remember this is is long term TTC thread, not an IVF thread. Which was kind of why I wasn't sure if I should do lists. I don't want people to feel if they aren't on the list they shouldn't be here.

Even if you are still hoping for nature to take over, there is definitely a difference when you have been at it for years. On Babyandbump they have separate forums for TTC, Long Term TTC, over 35 TTC, assisted conception, 2ww, trying after a loss etc etc. Seems far to split up to me! In the end it's all about support whatever stage you are at.

Wow that's a lot of threads.

Just ignore me today, just having a couple of days of extreme emotion for no reason. Can't stop crying this weekend. No idea why, blumming hormones.

Isn't helping with all the Christmas adverts on the tv. Feels so wrong celebrating this year. We can't afford much for presents, so my parents will be having home made gifts and got hubbys.
Just feel like I should be concentrating on something to take my mind off ttc at the moment, usually i'm planning xmas with my friends, but one of my friends has a young family so will be doing her family all xmas, another one is off on a month long holiday over the holidays, and the other one is in a new relationship so wants to spend all of her time with her new bf. So it'll just be the 2 of us for the holidays except xmas day.
