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

Wonder_Woman

:hello: Sorry I've not been around ladies, I have been lurking and praying for you all but as others said have not felt I've had anything positive to contribute really.

DH and I are totally floundering at the moment. 2 IVF cycles in 6 months, the death of a close family member and work stress have really taken their toll. At this point I don't even know where to turn or how I will keep on getting up everyday.

We have our Zita appointment on Monday (thanks for putting me back on the list Frozen) but am so low everything seems pointless. My GP has prescribed anti-depressants but how do you pick yourself up and carry on? It just seems to get harder and harder

I've so much respect for everyone that manages to stay positive and keep going, I feel like I've lost hope.

Oh please don't give up wonder_woman, hope is sometimes the most important thing we have.


Absolutely nothing to report here, can't even try this month. So its just a case of waiting until our next appointment at the beginning of July.
Feels strange, I always planned on having a child before I was 30, but life has different plans. Chances of getting pregnant before turned 30 = 0. My 30th looms next month.
At least one day when we have our darling little ones, we can show how much effort and strength went into creating them.

Ww and vesper hugs to you.

Ww is awful what were going through and its no wonder your finding it really tough.is it possible for your and oh to spend some time together doing things to help lift your mood?


Afm had iui a couple hrs ago, they were running 2 hrs late, grr. Anyway dh count was only 7 million which isn't good. Really crampy during the process and after.Now in the dreaded 2ww.

*edit* has anyone had iui and spotting after it?

vesper

Fingers, toes and all appendages crossed for you Part Mouse.


Relax, or at least try too, enjoy a glass of something cold (non alcoholic naturally) and a nice slab of choccy cake.

Hi all

PM, I'm so pleased to hear that your iui went ahead, I was thinking about you all day...fingers are firmly crossed for you x

Hugs to all that need them. Afm, I'm quite enjoying the month whilst I know there is no chance of a bfp. Using condoms is very weird!! It feels very strange to be hoping for AF though. She's due next week and I've never wished so much before for it to be early!!

Mrs vicxi hope af comes for you ASAP, not to early though that its worrying.

Hi all, went to visit my doctor this week - had to try for 6 months after I had my polyps removed and then go to doctor to get referred back to hospital - has not been 6 months more like 5 but thought I would go back earlier.
Anyway have got a hospital appt for July. Doctor was telling me she has been through this whole process herself and went through what may happen. She was very good. Though she did say that I need to be taking folic acid and vitamin D while I am trying. I did at first for a while but since its been soooo long I have stopped. What does everyone else do?

vesper

Skaps I take folic acid and multi-vits. I used to have Agnus Catus (or however its spelt) but it got too costly unless on offer, so haven't bought any more at the moment.
Hubby was told to take zinc, Vit D or multi-vits. I always leave the on the counter but don't think he's actually took any yet. (Sigh). I have to put up with a feeble attempt at getting extra vits into him by giving him extra fruit, but I know that's not good enough.
