Out again on to cycle 18

[mrs c f]

Well I never thought it would take this long!! Looks like we will be going to doctors next month to discuss all our results and seeing what to next step would be. We have one more shot of natural conception before we may get refered to a specialist. Really hope it doesnt come to that.
Im having a feeling sorry for myself day then I shall pick myself up of the floor and look forward to the next month of trying.

Feeling especially broody at the moment too

Baby dust to all you lovely ladies still in the two week waite

 

[Hays :)]

sorry to hear your out this cycle!

I've just been referred after 1 year of TTC (and 2years plus TTC with previous partner)

Im still clinging onto hope that I will fall naturally, seems abit more real now that I have my appointment.

Hold in there chick, xx

I would so love to conceive naturally I guesse every woman would. I have once though it ended so Im hoping we can again. Though I am so desperate to have a little one now that I would snap their hand off if we were offered help if that makes any sense. I think now after all this time it becomes routine doesnt it..trying, waiting then getting your period month after month. It feels like it aint ever going to happen for us.

Good luck with your appointment. xx

 

[Hays :)]

yeh i totally agree with you!!

Thanks chick xx

I know the feeling-we are 2 years ttc in Jan with totally unexplained IF and one failed IVF. I found once all the tests etc started I felt more in control. I still hope for a miracle natural BFP...

Good luck x

Hey kittycat82. Are you going to have another go at ivf? Sorry to here about your struggle. It's supposed be the most natural thing in the world so why is it so much harder for some people!! Argh. I so long for a baba 

I've been ttc about as long as you.

Somehow, I can't remember if it's now cycle #17 or #18. Not that it matters at all really, you would just think that you'd keep it all straight in your head, lol.

Anyway, I go back and forth about treatments. I did do IUI 2 cycles ago. That failed and I didn't like the meds.
I think it just depends on the day that I'm asked. Somedays, I feel that I just need to be more patient. If I wait long enough, I'll get my baby.
Other days, I feel like there is no way that sex will work for me. It hasn't worked in this period of time, why would it work now.

I had planned on doing about 4 IUIs back to back, and I found that changing my plan and giving myself a couple of months off has helped.

You could always try treatments, take breaks in-between, and hope to fall pregnant on a break. That's basically what I'm doing.
It helps take the pressure off, but I feel like I'm being proactive.

Hey ladies, we tried for a year on our own, then 6 months with clomid, then 2 cycles of IUI...then bam twins. I look at me kids now and realize they were worth the wait and I think I appreciate them so much more because of everything we went through (if that's possible). Another tip from our doc was to have your partner eat red meat for a few days before conception (or extra red meat), something about extra iron or proteins...something else to add to your mix should you feel inclined.
Good luck!

It's such an emotional rollercoaster. One minute your up and feeling positive and that you can deal with things the next its so hard. My best has two gorgeous kidsand she keeps telling me when we finally get there it will be such a special baby so so previous and she's right. I know all babies are precious but I think for those who have had a long difficult journey will agree that they are so so special.
I do get a bit fed up with people saying we should enjoy just being marriade and it will happen. Eugh!! I love my husband very much but we ling so much for a baby.
I guess the upside of my af arrival is that I know I have only one more 21 day bloods next month then we're back to Docs to discuss mine and husbands test results and decide on the next step.
Thank you ladies for all your messages.
