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

squirrelchops

Hi all. Incorrectly posted in TTC thread. Been 2 years since properly started TTC. My bloods fine and OH had sperm analysis today but NHS totally cocked up...excuse the pun. After doing his bit was the told no one available to test sample!!! This after we'd had previous appointments cancelled. Very miffed as next appointment 4 weeks away.

Been looking at clinics abroad..... an anyone point me in the right direction or offer advice etc? Thank you.

Hello everyone. I am still TTCing but still no success.
Tried IVF with ICSI this year but failed.
Hubby's sperm are not the best and my one surviving ovary is trying to keep up.
We are trying the male Fertilisan to help hubby's sperm. Good reviews for this and much better than the Wellman Conception which I have heard is well under the recommendations for TTCing.

Anyone heard of success using this product?

@choc chick: Keeping everything crossed for you xxx I really hope this is your year but appreciate that it feels so far out of reach sometimes.

@Tine - hoping your letter arrives soon! Fingers x lady xx

@Squirrel - that's really frustrating Hopefully you will get more answers soon xxx

@Flee - haven't heard of Fertilisan? Pregnacare made me feel rough! TMI but it bunged me up :eek::eek:

Hi all,

I posted here a month or so ago asking about CD 1-5 bloods. Well we've had all the tests now and mine were all fine (although the Dr didn't seem to know much about it!) and DH just got his SA results. Apparently there was one minor abnormality but the Dr is going to call tomorrow to talk about it.

Now that's all done, she is going to refer us in January. We have only been TTC for 10 months but I'm so worried it's going to happen because I've got endo.

I hope you don't mind me posting here before the 1 year mark but I'm feeling pretty left out of the normal ttc thread. All the new ttc excitement and BFPs are driving me nuts!

I'm sitting here with pretty bad endo pain and feeling a bit sorry for myself! I really hope this new year brings us all some better luck

Ah Janey sorry to hear you are feeling down, it's a hard journey that's for sure! Hopefully when you talk to your doctor, you can get answers/solutions as to the next steps - and being referred is a great, positive step forward. Hugs xxx

Janey of course you're welcome! I was on that thread too initially and started out with such positivity and optimism and then x months down the line you realise others are coming and quickly disappearing and it is hard when you're still there, frantically peeing on sticks, squinting to see lines that aren't there :rotfl:

I'm feeling a little more hopeful now, we did manage to conceive naturally in between ICSI rounds, and even though it ended up being a MMC ( a hideous experience ) at least it proves that I can get pregnant, so thats something I suppose

Thanks elles and choc

Janet of course you are welcome! I know how you feel. We have been trying for 2 years and at least now that we have been referred I feel like something is happening, although I could still sit here in a years time with still no baby. I also feel like the pressure if off a little bit. But no doubt that pressure will come back as soon as we are in the middle of the IVF process. I am positive that 2016 will have babies for us all:)

Hi ladies. Hope you are all well and had an easy stressfree Christmas.

Hi to all the new ladies. Sorry you have to join the thread and hope your stays here are short x

Selina, only just seen your post. So sorry that your little boy made his appearance too soon. We lost our beautiful boy in October at 19+6 so I know how heartbroken you must be. Hope you are getting some help and are doing as well as you can, just be easy on yourself and do what you need to do. If you need a chat / rant then just message me, or try the forum on the Sands website which I would be lost without at the moment. Take care x
