In a right bad mood!

[V2R]

Anyone on here get right f***** off at times ttc? It will be four years in March I have been off the pill & still nothing!!
Aged 32, do not smoke, not overweight & fertility clinic says I'm unexplained but even Clomid didn't work for me.!!

Can't wait to go to Combat tonight to thrash out my mood!!!

Rant over lol

 

[HearMyPrayers]

Im sorry hun I know its tough! But its a marathon and you got to stick with it! Have you exhausted all testing lap/dye HSG etc?

 

[V2R]

Thanks Hear My Prayers

Yes every test the hospital can do has been done, took Clomid for 6 months good sized folicles but it just never happened last packet was in June went back to hospital & I'm on IUI & IVF waiting list, I think I should have my IUI appointment through next June/July, IVF is a 2 year waiting list.

I always assumed it would be 'easy' to fall pregnant!!

 

[phrumkidost]

Yes, I know the frustration! You are so not alone, hun!

How's the sperm situation? Has your guy been tested and come out okay?

 

[V2R]

Hi Yes sperm was tested & was fine. No blockages in my tubes. All tests have come back 'normal'

I actually went to my doctor yest & asked if she can do anything at all for me as I'm getting anxious about it all & told me straight 'NO' they don't help, just wait for my next appointment for IUI....I've not been to the doctor since getting refered to Fertility Clinic & I won't be back with her attitude. I actually thought they could test the sperm again & do my bloods to check I'm still Ovulating but seems they want nothing to do with it!!!

Ever thought of going to another country to get it done faster & cheaper?
Cuba has been on my mind for a LONG time. I don't think it would be more than $2000 for ivf there, thats' in Canadian $$.

I sympathize with you for feeling fu(ked off today. After 15 months of trying i just mc at 9 weeks 2 nights ago while on vacation. It's a sh1t world sometimes and the crappy thing is i can't even rant to friends/family what a sh1t world i really think it is.

 

[V2R]

No I would be far to scared to go somewhere else for treatment, I am already dreading the thought of IUI & IVF & thats in my own country! Although I do feel I am now ready to try IUI.

My family don't know we have been trying for a baby or that we have been to the fertility clinic so I can't speak to them, I would rather them not know as they will start nipping my head & don't want them to feel sorry for me.

It is a crappy world but I suppose there are people who are having worse problems!

 

[2have4kids]

Yes, there are worse problems. I've called in the start of this cycle into the FC yesterday which starts the ball rolling for the IVF wait list. I told them I was calling them long distance from Cyprus. I don't want to be pissing around anymore, i hope the get my urgency. Just freeze my eggs and put 3-4 back, I'm so impatient for a family. Our didn't work for us. I sit here on vacation watching everyone else's cherubs jump gleefully into the pool. I hate it.
Mind you we'll be spending $8000 for egg retrieval + $1500/pop if I miscarry or it doesn't stick. It's a 3month wait list and we'll absolutely broke with the fees. Which makes Cuba look appealing to me. Not every egg retrieval is successful either. They have some of the top doctors in the world over there. There's a lifetime to worry about the bills and only a year or two left for me to have kids. We'll just get it done in Canada and hope it happens fast.
The OH is very optimistic that it'll happen naturally for us while waiting. I'm sour, cranky and sick of waiting.

Totally understand....I get IVF paid through NHS but only allowed 3 attempts then we have to pay but if we do go private & pay for it then we loose out on NHS funding us! It's very frustrating especially when friends r falling pregnant by accident!! Gets harder every month.
I can see why Cuba is appealing when you are having to spend so much money, but are you not worried about complications, would you have to book a months holiday to make sure you are pregnant before you fly home?
It's totally crap that it has come to this. We have put our wedding plans on hold just incase we need to pay for IVF

All fingers & toes crossed for u xx

Oh, hugs to you all! 2have, I remember seeing you had conceived and it's heartbreaking to know you miscarried.

I just wanted to comment on the different country option. A good friend of mine just had a successful IVF in China and I know another friend who travelled to India for a back surgery. Including travel, both were much cheaper than the US (don't how other countries compare, but I'd imagine the US to be worst).

If any of you need an extra ear to vent to, I am happy to listen.
