Hi everyone I have just joined this group. Me and my fiancé have been trying for a baby for just over 3 years now. I’m 24 and he is 27. I have PCOS and have tried 3 cycles of clomid which had all failed and I didn’t ovulate. I have a hsg test which showed my tubes are clear I do have 2 more try’s left with the clomid but the next step will be ivf. I have changed my diet and taking natural vitamins. I really want to do this naturally before going for ivf.
I feel so lonely at times like I am the only one going through this. I don’t show my emotions very well with anyone close to me and find myself crying alone. My job is difficult as I work in a gp surgery so finding out women are pregnant every day is really hard for me. I have joined this group for support and to support others going through this. It’s like a black cloud over me which I carry everywhere just wondering when it will be my turn.

Welcome pet! You are 💯 % not on your own as you will see. The women on this wall are amazing . We all know how it feels and unlike those who haven’t an ivf clue!!!! The women and some men here can RELATE to it all.
You're not alone at all. I'm 29 and my OH is 31. We've been trying for nearly 2 years.
We started our journey september of last year to find out what's going on- my OH has a combination of low sperm count, poor motility and poor morphology- meaning the shape and the movement are bad as well as the count. On top of this when I went for my internal scan (expecting absolutely no problems as I have always had super regular periods) the sonographer casually announced that I had PCOS and then wouldn't answer any questions. I was left with a 2 month wait to speak to my fertility doctor to find out what was going on. Nearly 30 and just diagnosed with PCOS. I am also so desperate for things to happen naturally. So we've changed our diet and we're taking supplements as suggested everyday. I also make smoothies for us both every night to have for breakfast the next day.
All I can say is that if you ever want to talk I am here, and I totally understand what you're going through.
The day after our bad results we went to my parents house and my brother ans his wife announced that they were pregnant. The first grand-baby / niece or nephew of the family. I was so heart broken. But felt so cross with myself for feeling anything but happy for them.
Keep trying, and stay postivite ♡
Do you do any type of mindfulness? The Headspace app is very good, I've just started using it.
Good luck with everything- lots of love to you Xxxx
Bless you! It’s so hard! I have started to take Moringa have a look at it on the internet it sounds amazing for you and your other half! All natural. I will definitely have a look at that app!
Good luck to you! I wish you all the best. Love to you x x x x
Hi Han, welcome to the forum. There are truly wonderful people here who will give you their ear, time and offer the best advice, support and encouragement.
I think many women have had similar issues as yourself and it’s really a personal decision regarding when you wish to take the next step. One thing is for sure, you’re not alone...x
Thank you so much I’m very glad I have found this group. It actually breaks my heart to know how many people are going though this. I will definitely be turning to this group for support. Your all so lovely!
Welcome to the forum! I’m sorry to hear about your journey. I have Pcos too with regular periods but no regular ovulation. I got pregnant naturally 3 months after I was diagnosed with it, so it is definitely possible! Unfortunately I had a miscarriage so I’m trying to conceive again now. When I found out I started acupuncture and chinese herbs, so now I’m on the same route since it worked for me last time. I can imagine it must be hard to work around pregnant women all the time, I worked as a Manager of a nursery school and I had to quit because it was painful to see so many pregnant mum who constantly talked to me about it, not knowing I just had a miscarriage. With Pcos it might take longer but it will happen! Since you’ve started Clomid you can carry on with the cycles and if nothing happens start ivf. I spoke to a mum in this forum who got pregnant with Clomid. You are so young and there are many possibilities for you!
Thanks so much your words mean a lot. It is hard when even work doesn’t take your mind off it! People who have no trouble can’t understand. The thing is you spend all your childhood life trying not to get pregnant and think it’s a easy process when you start trying.
The thing what worry’s me is that I have never been pregnant so just to know I can conceive would mean so much! I stopped my clomid months ago as they told me I can only have 3/4 tries with it? I know I’m only young and have time to try different treatment it’s just scary to know if I ever will or not.
I totally understand you, it’s the uncertainty that makes you worry. I have to say even if I lost my baby I do feel more positive because I know I can get pregnant at least. I’m 31 now and here there are women who are older than us who get pregnant and have more than one pregnancy, so I’m sure your time will come, you just have to trust the journey. Hopefully it will happen very soon for you! When I joined this forum I was feeling so hopeless, one month later I got pregnant. The ladies here help me so much to go through it all and positive stories help too!
Yeah I’m the same I joined this group as I just need to speak to people who understand. My next step is to look into acupuncture and see how that goes for me.
This group is amazing thank you for your kind words 💜
This can be a very isolating journey and quite depressing at times, but this community is great, and extremely supportive. I don't know where I'd be without it! Anything you've been through someone on here will have been through it and can commiserate or offer support and guidance. Fertility issues: there isn't a struggle quite like it. You're not alone and we're here for you. We've got this!! xxx
