Hi I'm 31 & been ttc for 3 years. I actually thought it would happen very quickly but no 3 years later I'm still waiting. I'm unexplained infertility but they have prescribed me clomid which I have taken 4 rounds of 50mg, I only have 2 rounds left. (glad I only have 2 rounds left as I feel I'm loosing the plot on the stuff & I'm normally a happy/carefree person)
All my friends have accidentally fallen pregnant or it's only taken them 3 months. So why the hell is there all of us WAITING for our special day...!

I'm ov tracking but no BFP yet, not temping tho iv hears its not very effective as ur temp onlu rises on ov day where LH shows 2 days befor so u get loads more time with opk's , only 2 days max with temping to concieve, what do u think? Do I think its worth it? What's CD 9 ? Is that good? What meds are you on? I have a fs appointment in may to start meds, heard bad stuff about Clomid though....

It's really awful not knowing why we are having problems isn't it I have a friend with policystic ovaries an decided she wanted a family so got IVF straight away.... No stress, knew what was wrong and picked a way to fix it, yet we have to struggle on month after month not knowing why we are, makes me want to tear my hair out at tines!
Are you using opk's? Iv heard such bad things about Clomid is it really bad? Can they not try you on another kind?
Good luck hun, hang on in there, wel all be sharing our BFP's soon I know it

Yea I sometimes think I wish there was something wrong that way the doctor would be able to fix it, it's the unknowing thats horrible.
I used OPKs before Clomid but they were always negative even tho I do Ovulate. I don't use OPKs now, I'm just hoping a lucky sperm will make the journey :-D
I think I have to take 6mths of Clomid before anything else is discussed at clinic. Everyones side-effects are different

Hey lovely,

CD9 is cycle day 9, and I'm temping and tracking with OPK, I only started temping last cycle but I found it quite helpful, as my temps rose I knew I was gunna OV, im not on any meds only shop bought vits and I really didn't rate Clomid at all, oh and I need to lose some weight before I can have anymore help for NHS, so I'm stuck really.
I'm dieting like crazy and B'ding like crazy and hoping just for once something g good will happen and I'll fall lucky

Hi V,
I sometimes wish I had something wrong like a blocked tube or something because at least u would have a chance of fixing things and making it work, having unexplained fertility makes me feel like an absolute failure !
Just once I'd love to have little bit of luck as we all deserve a chance

Lots of luck and

Hey lovely, I don't think anything is a step too far when your like us I thin the exact opposite and think anything is worth a shot
I'm cycle day 16 of a 28 day cycle and I too don't think I have Ov'd this month so I'm absolutely gutted, I've really had my OH on board with me and he's been really encouraging and positive B'ding everyday and asking if I'm "ready yet"
It's just like another let down on this big dipper of emotions

Lots of love and luck babe

I remember thinking that I'd stop the pill and voila! Like that happened...

I'm also 31, and we started back in September 2009. I quit counting cycles. It took us a full year to discover that hubby had secondary infertility. He has two kids, so we assumed (naturally) that it was me. We got him producing sperm again and had two medicated IUIs in fall 2011 (failed) and an HSG (inconclusive). Then we got his urology records and saw "0% morpohologhy... no normal sperm" and felt completely robbed. We've dealth with endocrinologists and urologists and finally got him back to normal, so we returned to the RE to plan our 3rd IUI this month... only to get a surprise BFP! And learn the words "chemical pregnancy". Back to the drawing board we go.

There's just no other way to phrase it: Infertility is a B****!

 

[hopefull85]

I'm very sorry you're going through this. I a also in a very bad situation. My sister just had a baby and now my friend is pregnant. I have been trying for 10+ years promising myself i would give birth before i'm 30. Well here i am 31 with not even one baby or even miscarriage. I know you will get yours soon you are still young and you started trying early.

how do you do it? this month marked 5 years for my husband and i. never been pregnant so never had a miscarriage. im going crazy.

Hey hopeful,

I'm exactly the same, never had even a hint of a BFP, sometimes i just feel like giving it all in but then I think, why should I give up my chance of being a mum when I know I'll be a good one, Im just unfortunate and need to worker harder than others, it's crap but it's true.
Fingers crossed we will all be lucky soon and we will treasure what we have because we have worked harder to get it
