what I mean is, most of the ladies I know who have gotten pregnant have been trying for quite some time, years rather than months. It's not just us. 
I hope that your scans turn up an easy fix to correct your course.
Every month I get all excited during the 2ww and secretly convince myself that I'm pg only for af to arrive bang on time! (I bet that's a familiar story in here!) Really didn't think it'd take this long...*sigh* I think I was convinced I'd be one of the lucky ones to get a bfp nice and fast 
Dunno what I'm going to add to the mix next cycle - maybe Instead Cups?
is on the way...
Hopefully it won't be too long before we all see a big shiny 
!!!!!! Sending lots and lots of 
I temped for 4 months but now I know I ovulate fine I have stopped as its too stressful! I've recently had my thyroid level checked which is fine & am waiting for DH 
results to come back. My doc has said we need to wait for 16months before theyll refer me for tests

Hello ladies
Any fellow 30 something year old TTC-ers out there who have been trying for a while? Wanted to see how you ladies are doing and hope that you are feeling optimistic still.
I remember when I first started my TTC quest. Whilst I have heard it can take up to a year, I thought it would happen at the click of my fingers on the basis that most of friends appear to have hit the jackpot the first month they commenced BD. As the cycles have gone on, my moods have gone on a bit of a roller coaster ride. Sometimes, I am hopeful, during the TWW, I have been anxious, when AF arrives, I have been sad. Yet at the same time, I have also been optimistic. I never expected it to have been this tough emotionally. Also, whilst my cycles are 27 days long, the way my period comes has changed since I started TTC. I am having weird brown discharge just before my period (not normal for me). I have also been experiencing pains on both sides at sporadic times (not around the time of ovulation) so went to see the docs. He is concerned it may be something sinister like cancer so admitted me for tests (internal scan and bloods). Results out next week. Typical! All this palava when I want to have a baby!
I am however still trying to remain hopeful. Hope is a good thing right?!
In terms of the practical side of things, I have OPK'd a few months and tried temping. I even tried cough syrup last month for more EWCM. I tried taking preganacare prenatals and a couple of months, I tried vit B6 as my LP wasn't as long as "ideal" (10-12 days). I also tried SMEP for 3 months. But I have chucked all that away this month. I was obssessing and it just stressed me out. SO trying to relax a bit more this month. Here's hoping that my BFP will come out to say hello soon.
Hope you ladies are doing well. WOuld be good to hear your thoughts, game plans and of course success stories to get me through this journey.
Baby dust all.
My spotting also started after starting TTC. There's a good thread on it, can't post a link as I'm on my phone but its on my profile under posts called 'spotting week before AF anyone else?' Hope it helps x
. But when I was talking to my co-worker about my own efforts to concieve, I said "you guys were trying for a while, weren't you?". To which he said "well, we were not trying, not preventing". Which made me laugh because 1.) he's already forgotten about the pressure and wait time and 2.) HE may have been ntnp, but SHE was definitelt ttc!
Thank you so much for your sweet messages also. I wish you all the best of luck in getting that lovely BFP soon too! Gettingbroody- did the witch get you? Hopefully you have some happy news to announce. Babydust to you!
Babydust to all in fact.
How is everybody today?
Im sure she'll be flying in on her broomstick at any time now - Wicked !My doc has said we need to wait for 16months before theyll refer me for tests

Can't believe he's making you wait so long! I thought it was more the norm to start tests earlier once you hit 30? And even sooner after 35? Has he given any reasons?
said the policy is 16mths under 35! If I get to a year I will challenge it, as also I don't know who's policy it is - the surgery or the healthcare trust. My friend has been told by a different doctor 18mths-2yrs & she's also 30!
