Ttc

I have been struggling with infertility for 4 years now and last year I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis stage 4. I have passed 7 months now post laparoscopy excision surgery to remove all cysts from the pelvic area. My husband and i have been trying for a baby ever since. The surgery healing process is suppose to take up to year, but the doctor said it is expected to get pregnant as the area has been clean and clear. My cycles vary between 26-29 days. I usually have regular periods, but this month is the 7th cycle and for first time i have experienced spotting starting with light blood stain on tissue the first day followed by thick dark red/brown stringy discharge for 2 days around the expected period but did not have my period. I have had sore/fuller slight sensitive breasts ever since and it is day 35 of cycle today. I have done a pregnancy test few days that came out negative. Any suggestions of what this could be? Is it Implantation bleeding ? As i did not have my period.

Hi dear. I'm sorry to hear you've faced problematic ttc so far. I know you must already have all the answers. Anyway, the thing which confused me in your process description. This one~ ''thick dark red/brown stringy discharge for 2 days..'' Doesn't sound like implantation bleeding. Or may be because I experienced it in a completely different way. In my case these were some pinkish spotting lasting for 2-3 hrs. Day 7 after the embryo transfer - We passed DE IVF in Kiev. They put back 2 embies, but one only made it home. Could you update on what it actually turned out to be for you? Hoping for your best.

I should say that getting started is always difficult. Furthermore if it concerns fertility issues preventing you from successful conceiving and pregnancy.

If one is having problems getting pregnant, she has to see GP. They will look at a medical history and give a physical examination. They may also recommend some lifestyle changes to help fertility.

Unless there are reasons that may put a woman at high risk of infertility, such as cancer treatment, she’ll usually only be considered for infertility investigations and treatment. (If she’s been trying for a baby for at least a year without becoming pregnant)

This is what usually happens next. If appropriate, your GP can refer you to a fertility specialist at an NHS hospital or fertility clinic. The specialist will ask about your fertility history, and may carry out a physical examination. Women may have tests to check the levels of hormones in their blood and how well their ovaries are working. They may also have an ultrasound scan or X-ray to see if there are any blockages or structural problems. Men may be asked for a semen sample to test sperm quality. If IVF is the best treatment for you, the specialist will refer you to an assisted conception unit. The most important thing here is not to waste precious time. I hope this might be useful – biotexcom.com/category/ivfi.... Take care.

You know, guys, the worst thing I've ever happened to hear/read about the clinic is its being crowded inside just always..Also busy staff and some extra time spent in waiting for the consultation. As for the latter, people all are different. For some it's ok to wait 10 mins more (taking into account they've waited so long to finally come to this very repro center.) For others even 5 mins extra might be a huge emotional burden..As for me, all those schedule times don't bother me too much, 'cause I know I'll get my baby with BioTexCom sooner or later. I just will get the kid! Then, busy staff..There's nothing strange about this condition as well. Why they all are always in a haste? Because they have loads of work to do daily. Would it be better though if they drank coffee and chatted, doing all sorts of things but not work?!! NO, right? So again, it's absolutely a good sign for me. And finally, their long queues. Would you, guys, prefer the place you're going to be treated at to be empty?!! If yes, BioTex is definitely not for you. The place's ALWAYS BUSY! And that's the thing to get used to or leave. The decision is obvious - people usually come to reputable/popular centers.Wishing all the IP their soon luck.
