20 days late on my period. Tests for PCOS came back clear. Doctors appointment tomorrow to figure out why they’re so irregular. So fed up and just want to understand my body 😭
 
Hi Guys. TTC after 2 miscarriages. Issue was a septate uterus. Surgery was 3 and a bit years ago to make it ‘right’ how long until I ask for a referral back to my surgeon? Has anyone had septate / bicornuate uterus surgery before and gone on to get pregnant? Help please. I’m surrounded by 3!!!! People currently early pregnant and I am so down about it now.
 
I've finally got the hand of ovulation testing three months in! I was sure I was going to ovulate today... thank god I tested three times 😂

Another month and another negative result. This is just utterly soul destroying isn't it, I don't think anyone could possibly begin to understand how much it takes a toll on your mental health until you find yourself part of this club that none of us want to be in.
It isn't even just the negative results, it's the monthly limbo where you antagonise over indulging in a drink or not "just in case", the way you start trying to think of excuses as to why you won't be drinking at social events "just in case", and even when and how you'd announce it "if I am".
I'm mentally exhausted.
 
I'm about 9 months into TTC and something in my brain has switched off from it all. We've got through fertility testing and uncovered some issues, including a polyp which I got removed last month and potentially low sperm motility in partner.
We're doing all the right things, and exploring when / if we go the IVF route. But something in my brain has just gone "I will not be able to conceive naturally, ever" and that's killed the tww anticipation for me. I've just lost the belief that conceiving a child naturally is a possibility for me.
Dunno if that's better or worse than the painstaking waiting and inevitable grieving when AF comes each month?
 
I’ve found my people in this group.
I feel like I’m in a downwards spiral of overthinking things, feeling rubbish, feeling jealous of other people!!! I think this isn’t me, what am I doing?

I said to my husband today that I was switch off ttc and he agreed.

But I keep thinking my life isn’t to plan, or I keep failing myself.

I feel the same. Sometimes it just really gets you down. And as someone said up thread, we didn’t ask to join this club and it’s soul destroying.

I’m day 24 of my cycle and having to stop myself obsessively overthinking symptoms.
 
Hi everyone.

I haven't posted in this thread before but have been lurking for a long time.

My partner and I are currently on month 6 of TTC our first baby. I'm 30 and my cycles are very regular after coming off the pill just over a year ago. I have been doing LH tests for the 6 months and always get a peak around day 15, the past 2 months I have also been tracking BBT, and ovulation has been confirmed both times.

Along with the Easy@Home LH strips, I also use the purple Clear Blue ovulation tests, however I have never had a flashing smiley face, only the solid smiley face. I think the flashing occurs before your LH rises but when your estrogen rises?

Has anyone else experienced this? Could my estrogen be low hence going straight to the solid smiley on the clear blue tests? Just wondering if this could be why we haven't conceived yet.
 

I have tried to put a TW spoiler on this 4 times now!!!! So sorry.
4 days til AF. Case of line eyes or reaaaally faint pos? Not getting the hopes up after 2 MC 🥹

Had a doctors appointment on Wednesday to discuss my extremely irregular periods (off pill for 1.5 years, 2 periods in that time which were 29 days apart so a “normal” cycle but nothing other than that). Before that I was on the pill for years and had only had 1 natural period at 13 before they stopped (went on pill at 17).

Blood work and ultrasound all came back normal so no diagnosis of PCOS (I suffer with hair loss and some weight issues too).

Said that it might have just been that the tests were done on days my levels were all normal, and cysts can come and go so it’s just that they don’t currently have the evidence to diagnose me.

We’re currently “not not trying” for a baby, so doctor just said to go back when I am ready and they can give me some help to get pregnant (I believe it’s a medication to help you ovulate?).

I’m so frustrated. I know I have PCOS but no diagnosis is hard to hear. So worried about my chances of ever being a mummy 😭 my blood was screened for absolutely everything, there was about 3 pages of results, and absolutely everything was healthy and normal so why isn’t my body doing what it should☹️

Don’t know whether to try and get the tests redone just so I have a proper diagnosis (they were done in that 29 day cycle so when my body was actually doing what it should for the first time in forever!). A diagnosis won’t necessarily change anything but maybe it would help me mentally.
