Long termers TTC

emzibob

Thank you all for your kind words i've had so many don't wait/ do wait conversations in my head I've confused myself at this point. I think once the minimum weeks are up we won't specifically try but we won't prevent and hope for the best!

Hi all Ive decided to move over to this thread. We have been TTC for the past year with no success 😠my cycles range from 27-33 days. There not particularly heavy but not light either. There excruciatingly painful though to the extent I pass out with the pain.

I went to my gp and he sent me for ultrasound with a queried cyst but that came back clear. All my bloods came back perfect for my age.

Now he has referred me to a gynacologist for a lap and dye. He suspects i may have endometriosis. So I'm going private with hugh o connor in the coombe and have been told I won't get to see him until November 😲 if i was public it's three years of waiting list 😲😲😲 my gp also wants to send my husband for S.A. have no idea how long that will take for an appointment??

I'm wondering if anyone here has ever concieved naturally with endometriosis?? I know I haven't been diagnosed but I like to be prepared for worse case scenario.

You could go straight to a fertility clinic and get checked out or scanned much sooner. I'm sure there are other gynaecologist who would see you sooner too.

I would recommend this, you'd be surprised how the months roll on. Even in the private clinic you think it's service on tap but it isn't, this process eats at your time

So we have said we would stay waiting on the appointment in the Coombe and have managed to get myself on the Cancellation list. So hopefully might be sooner.

In the meantime we have an appointment in August with Napro, my husband can have his SA tests done here. And they said they will redo my bloods also.

Im feeling a lot more optimistic this week and im on my TWW. We tried preseed this month, talk about a romance killer :D

My DH is on Effexor also so we have just been told that might be affecting his swimmers, but they want to see the results of his SA before they decide what to do. Its a tough one because I don't want his health to suffer if he has to come off his medication. Fingers crossed it doesn't affect him!!!

My mum says she has the candles lighting and saying novenas. Ill try anything if it works

If you think the preseed is a romance killer, it is nothing compared to novenas being said about your sex life :D

I've been there too, and you are right we try anything if it works! Good luck.

My grandmother prayed for my aunt and uncle when they wer having trouble getting pregnant the first time. They ended up with 8 kids!

Yep, don't knock it! My parents were TTC for 8 years without success. They moved across the city to St. Gerard's parish. The priest came to visit them and told them that St Gerard is the patron saint of infertility and expectant mothers. A couple of months later and they were pregnant with me!

I didn't mean to knock it!

I have a St Gerard medal in my purse that has been there since we started TTC. I can't bring myself to take it out, even now.

Quite emotional tonight. My babas turned 1 today. It has just been a pure and utter miracle to have them in our lives for the last year.

It was 2 years ago on last Saturday since we lost our baby so I was out in Kilcully on Saturday morning to visit the Angel plot there before starting to organise the baba's birthday party.

Through it all, this forum has been there for me so I wanted to say thanks to all here for listening and talking. For being there when I cried and making me laugh when I really needed it.

Here is some links that say your diet may affect endometriosis
https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/health-science/stars/stars-written/paula/

About 4 minutes of this video may be relevant to endometriosis 16 to 20 minutes time frame

Hope this might help you.

I haven't posted here in a while but I've been keeping an eye on the thread. I hope all of you are doing well. I'm just starting another cycle today which hopefully will get as far as egg collection. I've got a natural period after a four month wait!! This resulted in my lowest ever FSH of 3 but I'd a cyst. I got that drained yesterday and my ostregen came down so starting tonight on injections. I'm delighted we got the chance again. I honestly didn't think we would.

I finally heard back from my consultant about the results from my D&C. Due in with her on 31st July to see what she has to say.

I had a D&C on 21st April following a silent miscarriage. My second mc in 9 months. It could just be my age (I'm 45 now) or it could be genetic or my PCOS causing the problems.

All over. Light spotting today and a four hour wait in the rotunda. Stopped growing at 7 weeks, should be week 10 now.

It was nice believing for a while. Crashing now.

Bad luck got us. The doc said today that from where we were at 7 weeks there was only a 3% chance of something going wrong. Now we have nothing again.

Positives are we know we can get pregnant and have one more shot left in the freezer.

So sorry bilbot. It's stinking luck

Great that you are focusing on this. Hard to see the positives during such a difficult time but don't lose hope.

I'm so so sorry. XxX

I am so so sorry to hear this bilbot.

It might not help to hear this today, but we have been where you are now, 2 years ago we had missed miscarriage. Hardest thing I have ever gone through. Like ye we had frozen embryos. We now have 12 month old twins.

Huge hugs.

Most cruel thing I've heard in a long time Bilbot. Havent commented before but have followed your unfortunately short journey for a while now. Take care of each other xxx
