32, ttc nearly18 mths....anyone want to buddy up?

[star31]

I'm generally quite positive but once a month i get upset when i get my af! Just looking to buddy up with someone in the same boat. I had a lap in the summer and due to see the fertility specialist again in 5 weeks, i'm hoping they're going to let me go for iui soon. Fed up with all my friends getting pregnant so easily and people at work... Would love to buddy up with someone who knows what's it's like to be ttc for so long! x

Aw, I know where you're coming from - especially with everyone else around you falling pg so easily I've 3 friends and my SIL due soon. It sure hurts. I'm 30 and this is month 22 trying for us so pretty close. This is my first month with progesterone support (took a long time to get my Dr. to prescribe it) so we're hoping this does the trick!
Best of luck to you!

hi guys

It's great we're all in the same boat, feels so much better when you know you're not alone. Just spoke with a counsellor there which my hospital offers which was good. She was really nice but did say there is a 27 month waiting list for ivf which is quite depressing..... considering going private but would take a long time to save up! Hoping it all just happens naturally sometime soon! I guess life doesn't always go to plan though but that's just life! Let's try to keep this thread going but if not i'll drop you all a message soon. Thanks for getting in touch x

 

[Sophe]

hopefully it won't come to IVF.. 27 months seems really long! in my area its only a few months to wait but you have to be ttc for 3 years before you get refferred. Its all very daunting and depressing, but we all have each other on B&B to keep us going!

Hiya I'm 31 ttc for just over a yr. Suffer with low progesterone and waiting for treatment. Hcosy tomorrow eek! Also hoping for IUI soon!

Would be great to buddy up

Good luck ladies xx

Hello Ladies...

I'm 33.. have been ttc for 15 months now. @Star.. I know what you mean by being quite positive throughout the month but getting upset when AF arrives. I usually allow myself one pity party a month. .. and it's usually a few days before AF arrives or the day of. ! This whole process has been draining. i have my ups and downs that's for sure.
DH and I are trying on our own before going back to the infertility clinic for round 2. We only get 6 rounds of treatment so dh is taking proxeed for 3 months to improve his sperm. fingers crossed!

This site has been a big help!! Welcome ladies!!! Nice to meet all of you!

hi girls

Just wondering what kind of treatment you've all been offered so far? Liz - how did your hycosy go? I was waiting forevever to get a hycosy that in the end they gave me a lap instead to remove a cyst - that seemed quicker! Also they took that opportunity to put the dye in too and luckily everything seems fine so that's good at least! It's great to be able to keep each other's spirits up!

HI Star,

I've been trying to conceive for 2 and a half years and I also had a lap in summer. I'm seeing the consultant for my follow up on Monday. I already know I had endo stage three, but it will be interesting to hear the rest.

Would be great to swap stories and support each other.

Take care

Hi star hcosy went v well thanks, tubes look ok so it's IUI for us next. Then ivf if that fails.

How's things with u? Xx

 

[star31]

That's great! I have endo stage 2 so not sure if they'll give me iui or we'll have to wait for the ivf?? All will be revealed at my appointment in 5 weeks time - excited but scared!

 

[cooch]

How was your endo diagnosed? Was it from lapa and dye??

 

[AnnetteCali]

Hello Ladies...

My hubby and I fall under the unexplained infertility category. He has a mild sperm issue... but the doc didn't seem to think it was going to be an issue... so far .. it seems like it is though He's taking proxeed for three months in hopes of improving his sperm count/motility. fingers crossed!

We had one cycle of infertility treatment.. I took clomid... and had an IUI the first cycle.. bfn.. the clomid thinned the lining in my uterus too much.. so I have to do injections the next 5 cycles.. which is really freaking me out because I cant give myself a shot and my hubby works during the time i need the injection!! eeks!!! We are holding off on the rest of the cycles until my DH finishes his three months of proxeed. We only get 6 cycles.. after that they determine we are a lost cause and send us on our way for IVF.. not covered by insurance

Fingers crossed for all of us!!!!!!! xoox x

Anyone else going through infertility treatments?

 

[star31]

hiya, yeah it was through the lap but they were also removing a cyst at the same time from my right ovary

 

[star31]

hi girls

How are you all getting on? I read on the success stories that someone tried self-hypnosis from research on the net. Thinking of trying that to be ultra positive. Have also bought The Secret, it can't do any harm!

Hi Star,

I am also 32 years of age and been trying nearly two years now, i also cry my eyes out on day of af then get positive again thanks to my dh who always comforts me and says it will be out time soon. We are also attending a fertility specialist, we have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility and have to go back and discuss ivf/icsi etc. I know how you feel about friends, all my friends have nearly conceived the first month they try, my sister fell twice on contraceptive, different contraceptives didnt work for my mum either and my sister in law is expecting twins, as much as i'm so happy for all of them im so bitter for myself and always think that maybe i dont serve to have any children but thats me just feeling sorry for myself and these hormones are hard to deal with at the best of times.

Would love to be your buddy since we have so much in common xxx

hiya Michelle

Yes your story sounds familiar!! I bought a positivity mp3 download the other day, tina taylor i think? Just want to get myself out of a rut of feeling sorry for myself. It's helping so far, will see how it goes!! I've told a few close friends but not my parents yet - might see what they say at fs appointment first. How bout you? Keep me updated!!
