So fed up.

[TTCabundle]

Sorry for intruding ladies, I dont usually post in here but I feel like nobody quite understands.
We've been TTC since the end of 2010 and still, no baby
Ive been to the doctor and found out I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, the doctor thinks this is the problem. Im now on metformin and levonthyroxine, but still no luck. Im so sick of staring at negative tests and crying at baby stuff but I just cant help it. How do I get out of this? Im in my 20s so still 'young' and all everyone keeps telling me is 'not to worry, you have plenty of time' but really, its been nearly 4 years?! I feel like thats long enough
How do you guys stay positive? This month has really topped it all, I felt so positive, then I started getting faint lines and got my hopes up, turns out tgey were evaps!
Like I said, im sorry for intruding, I know a lot of younhave been ttc for a lot longer than me, but I just feel crap atm

I'm sorry for your frustration. 4 years IS long enough! I'm so sorry you are having trouble. Sounds to me like it's time to try something new. I'm a big fan of acupuncture for fertility. I haven't conceived yet but have used acupuncture to bring my cycles back and regulate them with good success. Have you tried Clomid yet? Are you tracking your cycles?
I wish I could say something to make you feel better. All I can say is that I understand your frustration and I agree with you that you have been trying longer than anyone should have to. And, I don't think you are too young to start looking into fertility options. You have tried on your own and your chances are not likely to improve on their own.
Good luck!

Thankyou so much for answering! No we have not been given any other options yet, I think im being fobbed off because I am young. I agree though, it's time we tried something else, I'm going to go back to the doctors and discuss other options. I'm trackinf my cycles, and theyre allover the place. Accupuncture sounds interesting, im definitely going to look into that!
Thankyou for your advice, good luck to you too xx

I can totally understand. I'm also in my twenties and no one understands me either. Every month I think this has to be it and it never comes. We've been trying for over 7 years. It is frustrating because I'm going through something similar. I'm trying to stay calm and not stress out about it this year. I wish you luck!!!!!

telling a person who has been trying to conceive for a number of years "oh you're young, theres plenty of time!" is about the crappiest thing to say, ever. besides the "you can just adopt!" crap. ive been ttc 6 years and last year when i was still 29, i had SO MANY people.... all ladies with pcos, so they should know better... telll me "oh you're still young, theres plenty of time" uh. no..... i may not be 30 yet (im 30 now, since october), but its already been over 5 years and still no baby! i definitely want more than one and if its going to take me another 5 years to conceive my first, i can guarantee that second child most likely will not happen. it just pisses me off when people think that because you're young that you still have all the time in the world... its a load of crap. here i am 2 weeks from my 6 year mark and im no closer to being pregnant now than i was 6 years ago when i first started ttc. god knows how much longer it will be before i finally get my take home baby. could be 6 months from now or it could be 6 years from now.. or even never. when you put so much time into something, age doesnt matter anymore.

I'm not in the same situation since I'm older (37) and I know what my fertility issue is. But, I'm no stranger to dealing with doctors and the medical system. I know that we all have different insurance and medical systems but I really encourage all you guys to stand up for yourselves and keep looking until you find a doctor that takes you seriously. If you want to have children in your 20s then you should be able to. If you haven't conceived in the past several years there's probably not a great chance that you will in the next several years either. Fight for what you want!!

Thank you everyone. Im glad im not the only one who gets told "youre young theres plently of time. What does it matter how old I am?! The fact ive been trying for 4 years is my problem, not my age. People just dont understand, which I dont blame them if theyve never been in this situation but surely they would understand that what theyre saying doesnt help!

Ive got a doctors appointment next month to check my blood and everything else, so im going to mention that I would like to try other options now! Wish me luck.


Sending hugs and baby dust, we will soon have our little miracles xx
