Is there a place for Very LTTC ladies?(VLTTC) 3+ years?

DH and I have been trying on and off sence september 2008 we did get a lucky BFP the first month we tried but it ended in early M/C, I thought for sure that since we got pregnant so quick it could happen again naturally but 7 months went by with nothing but BFN so we went in for testing and found out I am good .ovulating every month and HSG was clear , cd 3 bloods were all good. DH went in for a SA and a few hours later I got a call saying his count was low. so I wanted to proceed with medically assisted conception but DH was against it so my only choice was to put him on supplements and hope for a BFP, well 2 years went by with nothing happening so we both gave up and went on low carb diets.
early november of 2010 I started not feeling right so I tested and got a surprise BFP sadly it ended in M/C, have continued TTC on and off sence then , it hit me hard when we reached the 5th year of TTC and I had to accept the fact that I may never get pregnant again as I am starting to run out of time.

I'm beginning to feel the same way as you, my husband and I are coming up on our 6th year. We just started seeing an RE and I'm hoping to get a couple IUI's and hopefully not have to do IVF.

I started taking Ubiquinol last month as I read its good for egg health and improves how older eggs respond to stims , its also good for sperm health so I had DH start taking it too. so im hopeful that will help us . and thankfully I have no signs of primenopause yet. im thinking about adding pine bark extract and resveratrol as well because I read a study that found it delayed menopause in rats.

Its good you have the option of using IVF , but I hope you get your BFP without needing to go that route.

Hi everyone hope you don't mind me joining you. ...
Also been trying since jan 2010.
My heart aches.
I understand how everyone is feeling.
No one really understand how it feels to have unexplained fertility I feel it's been the worst thing to ever deal with ..
I pray we have our own naturally and have hope it'll happen one day im 35 this year.
I never thought I'd been 35 with out children.
I can't imagine my life without children so if we can't have them naturally we plan to adopt a family I feel I have so much love to give my heart bursts.
Love to all....
Have faith have hope ))

Hey everyone. DH and I were also hoping to have several children, around 4-5 as we are both from larger families. However, we hit the 3 year TTC mark in September without having brought a baby home. We've got too many fertility issues to count at this point, and though we've been able to conceive a few times with IVF, we still don't have a baby. (2m/c, 1 ectopic, and I had a natural pregnancy ending in m/c years ago with an ex.) We're transferring our last two frozen embryos this month or next (transfer #6), depending on how today's bw comes back. This time we'll be adding in even more meds to hopefully help deal with the recurrent miscarriage issue- steroid immunosuppressant (which I took once before with my ectopic cycle and besides being ectopic that baby looked healthy and progressed well) and daily injections of blood thinners (new this cycle). After this next try, we'll have spent $50,000 on treatment since 2012, so I'm really hoping it works. We've already sold the house and this FET will finally max out the cards, so FX'd. If it doesn't work, we're hoping to be able to save up for another fresh try next year. This road is just so long and after this many years, sometimes I wonder if it will ever work. My heart goes out to all you ladies who I'm sure feel the same way sometimes.
