Please tell me I’m not alone?! Infertility struggle!

[Materialbarbie]

Hi guys,

I’m currently CD 24 on my second round of clomid, not feeling 100% it’s worked as I just don’t want to build my hopes up like I did last round. I have PCOS and we’ve been trying for 2 years and everyone around me seems to be pregnant! I’m normally so upbeat but really struggling at the minute! (Not sure if that’s the hormones tho, haha).

Please tell me I’m not alone in feeling this little lull?!

Thanks

Emma

Hi materialbarbie, I have PCOS too, I feel your pain, I’m also having one of those days, it just seems so unfair! Due to start second round ICSI next weekend and I’m starting to panic incase it doesn’t work, which of course won’t be helping! What we like, sending you hugs & babydust✨💕xxx

Aw, we will get through it! It’s nice to have somewhere like this to talk about it because I feel sometimes other people just don’t get it.

I’m sending you lots of luck and baby dust✨ too! I’ve got an app that helps me kind of meditate so if I’m feeling really down I’ll go on that to help calm me down, my clinic said stress doesn’t help.... but you can’t help but stressing can you?! The app is free and it’s called Pacifica just incase it helps you relax a bit 💗xxx

I never felt like it was working, even when it actually did and I ovulated. I even got pregnant on a cycle where I didn’t think it worked. So don’t give up hope. Have you had your 21 day blood test done? Wishing you luck on this cycle! X

[Materialbarbie in reply to Binky1983]

Ahh that gives me a bit of hope! I think I just though first cycle would work as there’s lots of videos and positive feed back but nope! I did ovulate first cycle tho so that’s good! And yes had them done Monday and rang my fertility clinic so waiting to hear back! They always say no news is good news! Thank you so much for giving me a bit of hope! X

You are definitely not alone & this site is so supportive.

We watched every family member & friend having a baby and wondered if it would ever be our turn ☹️ it took us 7 years,but we got there & so will you. 🙂

I used clomid after my last surgery to treat endometriosis & it worked! Clomid has also worked for my cousin who has PCOS and she has a little boy thanks to clomid. 😍

I remember the struggles very well. It was so heartbreaking at times. Pregnancy news brings it into focus how much you want a baby & it is unfair some of us struggle so much to get something most people take for granted. But keep going this is worth fighting for & you will appreciate this even more. Remember you are on a journey but one way or another you will get there. I used to plan us several options so we didn’t feel under pressure if it didn’t work.

All the best with this cycle , everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️ xoxo

Aww Thankyou so much for the positive words! I’m so glad it worked for you and your cousin👶🏼👶🏼✨!

That’s completely how I feel, some of my close friends are pregnant and I’m so happy for them but it also makes me sad because it makes me think how much I long for that and always have!

Yes I like to have things planned too! I’ve looked into everything, hubby thinks I’m mad, haha! But I like to know we have other options just incase!

Thanks so much 💕xxxxx

I know so many people getting pregnant with Clomid! And usually in those cycles where they think it did not work. ai ovulated once in 8 cycles of clomid at different doses.... However although I was super frustrated, I am.now on injections and my body perfectly responds! So there is still hope!

Your mood is perfectly normal. Looking back I now realized that Clomid made me completely depressed....

Good luck

I know I’ve seen of those stories too, I think I’m just in such a lull with it all!

So good to hear you are responding tho fingers crossed for you✨✨✨✨!

It’s strange isn’t it, logically I know my depression and anxiety is worse because of the clomid and how it’s making my hormones go but that still doesn’t make me feel better, I’m usually so happy! I know it’ll all be worth it in the end! Thankyou so much for giving me more hope 💕x
