Hi all
I only joined today after spending months reading all threads, found it really helped to listen to others situations, well me I've been with my partner 8 years in july been ttc pretty much the whole time but properly about 6 years, was diagnosed with pcos bout 4 year ago, had hsg which picked up blocked tube had op to unblock but had another hsg an showed blockage again however consultant seems to think it wouldn't have blocked again? Not thinkin that's true, anyway I've just been on a blind trial with clomid/letrozole on cd14 of my 13th go have one more if still not pregnant its onto next step, ovarian drilling, then iui an ivf, my consultant keeps tellin me there no reason for me not to get pregnant the medication is makin me ovulate most the time, its been putting a real strain on my relationship we spoke about it an we both are tryin not to think about it, not so easy for a woman desprate for a baby for the last 6 years with disapointment every month man does it get u down :growlmad:
 
Although it hasn't been that long for us, I completely relate. It is a emotional strain on our relationship, we both want the same thing but he cant understand how I feel all the time. Which is normal he cant read my mind, but he doesn't get sometimes it is all that I think about. I am weighted down with charts and drs appointments, and pills and things like that.
The worst is when I announce it is sex week and we both know even if we are not feeling it, we have to make it happen. Not exactly the sexiest thing ever, but we do what we must but are disappointed every month.

Good luck in your journey and know you are not alone.
 
thats just how im feeling, the disapointment every month is so draining, people say just stop thinking about it and it will happen, but with tried all this and it still aint happening :growlmad: its just so heartbreaking

good luck in your journey too, hope it happens for u soon :hugs:
 
Hi, I haven't been trying as long as you but totally know how you feel. I just got my periods this week & feel like a failure, it's totally getting me down. I've stopped speaking to friends about ttc as they don't know how it feels. My O/H told me I'm too uptight, maybe it's easy for a man to not think about it it's not their body that is letting them down.

ARGH Life eh!xx

Do you know what, if one other person says this to me I will seriously rip every hair from their heads. I can't imagine what you must be going through after 8 years and hearing that is just not helpful.
I really hope you get a BFP soon. You really deserve it :hugs:
 
hello,

firstly i would like to say i feel for you ladies, I am currently pregnant and pop back into lttc as it was my home for a long time as you could say.

i would just like to fill you ladies with some hope, we had a long journey to get where we are, not aslong as some but to be honest the need and want is the same for any woman.

i have pco, im a slim size and was told by so many doctors well 4 lol that i did not that it as they looked at my size and automatically said no you fine, but i knew my body and new somthing was not right!

so after a year and 2 periods in that time, yes 2 lol (how can a doctor think thats ok) i got some blood tests done to check my hormone levels and all came back normall and then was told its my weight thats the problem (when im a healthy woman) i new they did not have anything else to say, we finally got refered to a fertility clinic, i had a internal scan which showed cysts on the ovairs, i was sad but releived i was right, after months of nothing i then had to have a hycosy which was not the most pleasent expereince but luckily tubes were clear, OH had his spermies checked and they were good (thank the lord as if it was both of us, i would not of be able to handle that).

we finally got on to medication, i statred with clomid, 3 failed cycles later where i did not even create a egg!!! even with medication and i cant concieve the failed cycles were killing me, there is only so much you can talk to others about it, as they dont understand, the pain of wanting a child and you cant is horrible, OH was ok at times but we did not talk about it much really we kind of shrugged it under the carpet until we needed to discuss it.

after the clomid i then tried injectables, i was very nervous about this as the clomid sent me hormonal let alone this!! so OH had to inject me daily and the first month nothing no eggs even grew to the correct size, i thought noooo this is the actuall hormone to produce eggs!!

they upped my dosage (i think OH was giving me more as we were not sure half the time lol) but it did the job and my body produced a egg for the first time in over 2 years!! we had 1 more month of trying the injectables then we would have to pay (they are not cheap) so we were under alot of pressure as such to get this right! and one chance i ovulated we caught the egg!!

sorry for the massive story but, we will all get there in the end, and if i look back at when we started to try i reliased that actually if i did become pregnant then in an ideal world it was not the right time, now were a stronger couple, cannot wait for a baby to come and change our life!

it will happen, dont give up faith x x x x x
 
It is great to hear such a success story after such a long go of it.
Congratulations and wish you all the best!
 
Im sorry about your long journey. I can only imagine your emotions. After my surgery a few weeks ago, im trying to be positive this time around. Im praying we get your bfp soon.
 
Thanks for all your replys, an what a great success story, im onto my 13th clomid/letrozole cycle, (blind trial) cd 18 today goin for day 21 bloods Mon, not so hopeful this month but then its hard to be on your 13th go, next month is my last cycle an then I'm goin on to ovarian drilling anyone had success with this? I'm in process of losing a few lbs not that I would say I'm over weight doctors advice, an for once feel good about this operation an hopeful, I hope u all get that much wanted bfp :-)
 
There are TOO many good stories out there to lose hope, please don't, you are really not alone.

Keep trying and trying, I am hoping it will eventually both make you a stronger couple but even more than this I sincerely pray that you are successful.

I have friends who kept trying and trying and one ended up with twins in her late 30's. This is really a waiting game at times and that's what we have to do wait - which is the hardest part but it will happen I sincerely mean that and wish you all the very best. :hugs:
 
Seriously annoyed and waiting for O.
I am normally really regular and I am 3 days late for O and my temps look like they are never going to rise. I tried to Co Q10 this month, and I am worried this is the reason my O has been delayed ... either that or it is my back pain medication.

I am just annoyed today, how is everyone else doing?
