Ttc needs suggestions

Hi there,

I am 33 years old. Diagnosed with endometriosis (laparoscopy was done). One blocked tube. Had one failed ivf. Nothing going good in my life. Losing hope. Can anyone suggest me something?

Oh Kavi G I'm so sorry you feel like this, well done for sharing! Life is indeed bitter sweet, even in the darkest moments, the hardest times goodness is there, in the people that show you love and kindness, hold on to that.

As for suggesting what next for you the other ladies might be more qualified than me I'm just at the beginning of my journey of diagnosis.

Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself.

Hi Kavi_G really sorry to hear that you've been through so much. I've only just been told that we'll need IVF so I've not got much experience with what you're going through but I have had anxiety and bouts of hormonal depression so I know what it's like to have no hope.

Things that work for me are:

1. Going for a long walk in the country side to clear my head (sometimes I don't even have the motivation to move but it's like if I don't move I know I'll get physically trapped in a low mood),

2.reading the Harry Potter books (takes me back to my childhood and reminds me that JK Rowling suffered with depression and look where she is now)

3. Massage/reflexology/accupuncture - just helps me to relax and feel less defeated

These are just things that work for me when I'm having a down day. I know it's not the same but hope it can be of some help.

By just opening up about how you feel you've done the right thing and there are people here to support you x

Oh wow. What a lot to deal with. First of all I would suggest that you utilise the offer (which should have been made) for counselling from the clinic where you did your ivf. That will be a great help.

Secondly, what did they suggest after the laparoscopy? Will they operate? The good news is that I have seen lots of people on here with endometriosis and blocked tubes - even no tubes - who go on to have successful pregnancies. Try to hold on in there. What makes you really happy? Try to think of that and do that as often as you can. Like what was suggested above just going for a walk in the woods or through the park or by the sea - One of those just for a short while can completely change moods of people.

I hope you have someone close who you can talk with too. If not, you have loads of people here who will support and send millions of hugs.

Thank you so much all lovely ladies. You all gave me strength. I am planning to have a next cycle of ivf in few months. Will update you.

Stay blessed 😊

Kavi, I can feel your pain. Sadly, age plays an important factor in determining your fertility and also the chances of live births. There has been a lot of debate about whether age is important or not. But most of the votes said so. However, I am 40 and not able to conceive as my ovarian reserve is bearly to diminish. While my forend conceived naturally at the age of 40. Feel like it all luck and how healthy you are. I would recommend you to see a good RE to determine your chnaces of conceiving via IVF. Endometriosis is another factor that could hinder your fertility. I would suggest you think about surrogacy. As it will give you your own genetic child if you won't be able to carry it.

Just to give you a bit of hope, I have stage 4 endometriosis everywhere and after 10 years ttc, 4 surgeries and 2 failed embryo transfers I am now almost 9 weeks pregnant following a frozen embryo transfer. I have a blocked right Fallopian tube and my left one has been clipped. Don’t give up hope. Lean on your partner for support and perhaps go for counselling xxx
