Ttc#2+ 2013/2014! - 6 BFP's, 4 angels

Not wonderful to be honest, 17 months of trying and no bfp...I've had blood tests and I'm ovulating, hubby is due to have his SA in December. My cycles are better than ever but still no progress. The tipping point came on Saturday when my friend whose little boy is 10 days younger than Addison announced she is pregnant and they weren't trying. I'd always felt comforted by the fact that at least she won't be having a second, least I wouldn't be the only one with just one child...but now she is having number 2 I'm so flipping depressed. Just want to cry all the time. Can't take much more of this.
 
Awww babe I'm so sorry :hugs:

Your cycles are looking much better, such an improvement.

How's the weightloss going?
 
I haven't lost in a while, just maintained it...but need to start losing more. I'm being really strict from today and exercising daily (we bought a cross trainer). Just hard to think positive...its just not easy. I really don't know how much longer I can take it. Maybe I need to just face that it's not going to happen.

Hope your pregnancy is going well xx
 
I just wanted to check in on everyone since it has been almost a year since I last checked in. Congratulations to all the bfp's that have happened in this time and lots of baby dust to the momma's ttc.
 
Don't know if I uploaded any pictures of my Princess yet on this forum! !!

She's beautiful barbie! Congrats.

Well I've got my letter for a fertility appointment on feb 3rd, the GP wasn't going to refer us til after my hubby's sperm analysis but I kicked up a fuss and they referred me. Feb is abit of a wait but would be even longer if we'd had to wait til after his results. Cheered me up abit. Just focusing on losing more weight and trying not to worry about getting pregnant. If it doesn't happen then at least I have one.

All the best to everyone. X

Not very well, but thank you for asking.

I saw the fertility doctor at the hospital, she thinks there is nothing wrong, but having 2 cycles of bloods done to check progesterone and waiting for an appointment to come through for a hsg. Don't see the doctor again til June but hoping she will give me clomid, I read that it can improve egg quality in those that already ovulate and wonder if its my age that is the problem, 36 in May. Also have had to put trying on hold, I have no Rubella immunity at all anymore, so had the first jab just over a week ago and the next is on March 11th, then we can start trying again after April 8th. Sucks big time!!!

I do struggle with the inability to conceive, when my friend announced she was pregnant with her second I went into abit of a downward spiral, never felt anything like it because I'm not the type to get depressed so it was abit alien to me. I did pick myself back up, but had a few very bad days. I haven't lost all hope but its gradually getting harder and harder to think positive and believe it will ever happen and now with this set back I'm just thinking that we might well just have to face that we will never have another baby.

Just focusing on losing more weight (which is now going well after the latter part of last year not going so well) and trying not to focus on it too much. Maybe a couple of months off trying will help, who knows.

How are you? Congratulations on number 2. x
 
Hiya Cookie:)

Sorry things are going so rough with u hun! Why are you only seeing your doc in June? That's a pretty long wait! Is there no way you can get a script for Clomid or Femara from another doctor?

Its a tough journey, I know! But don't lose hope! I also got depressed and wanted to just give up, but I spoke to my doc and asked what the chances were on my 2nd round of iui and he said 'the same as the 1st'. But we waited and at the end of my cycle I told dh that it didn't work, even got bfn's, but I ended up with twins.

Please don't lose hope! You've done it once, u can definitely do it again! Even if it is with a little help*wink*wink*

Keeping everything crossed that all goes well with you until you see the doc again!
 
Thanks wild! Those twins must keep you busy. Congrats!!

In the UK unless I pay and go Private then have to go through NHS and its abit slow, June because she wants me to have a hsg before seeing me again and she thinks it will take at least 3 months before I get an appointment. I really hope the appointment comes through soon, if I get it sooner than they think I can call and bring my fertility appointment forward.

I've thought about IUI, we definitely can't afford IVF but perhaps IUI would be an option...I read that it's recommended for unexplained infertility. I just hope I get my hsg soon.

O hun I'm sorry you're having a tough time :hugs:
How come you no longer have Rubella immunity?
June is so long away, I hope your appointment comes through sooner. It's one of the downfalls to the NHS :(
 
Yeah, it was the same with us. IVF was definitely outta the question! Iui is a lot more affordable. I think if we had 2 have 3 failed iui's I would have opted for a break and then back to another 3:)

Is the NHS a government thing? Does everyone have it or is it like an insurance?
Its a bit different here in S.A. We pay cash for any fertility related issues.
 
"The NHS stands for the National Health Service, which provides healthcare for all UK citizens based on their need for healthcare rather than their ability to pay for it. It is funded by taxes"
 
No its not insurance, its technically free but those of us that work pay our taxes/national health. With the break from trying I'm onlygoing to get 2 cycles of trying in before we see the fertility specialist again.

I don't know why I have lost my rubella immunity, I know some people do, they've found that it doesn't last for everyone and unfortunately I'm one of those people. Rubella (German Measles) is fairl mild in adults, but the implications if it is caught while you are pregnant are huge, can cause miscarriage, still birth and major birth defects and with the rise of measles etc due to some parents choosing not to immunise, its really not worth the risk. As much as I am losing hope, I would not forgive mysef if I fell pregnant and caught it.
