End of TTC naturally journey

Today marks the last day of the ttc naturally journey for me.

I would have thought over the three/four years of trying it would have happened spontaneously but I guess not, not for me anyway.

Today is cd1, I can’t wait to not care anymore.

On the 28th I’ll have my trial embryo transfer and then in September I’ll begin a new journey - in vitro maturation.

I’m scared, excited, apprehensive and relieved but most of all I’m hopeful. I’d lost hope until now and some days I admit were better than others. I sometimes felt that I’d been chewed up and spat out by my own body - as odd that it sounds.

Any words of encouragement welcome, as I’ve learned from this forum there are many twists and turns and I’m so inspired by the people on here who get through each day.

I have one last chance and I will give it all I’ve got.

Xx

Best of luck with it!

Hi, I could write this post myself.

We had our second consultation today. Unexplained fertility, so was recommended to start ivf in January. I have now given up it will happen naturally:-( (still praying for a miracle in the next 4 months)

Very mixed emotions at this stage. The idea of daily injections makes me feel really worried:-((

I know that’s what put me off, so I’m having in vitro maturation instead. No daily injections. I’m looking forward to just getting on with it now. Thanks for your reply xx

But why it took three years

Did you know what is the problem?

How old are you ?

I’m 31. I have one child conceived naturally but I have endometriosis which has affected my tubes - they aren’t blocked but make conception difficult because they are twisted. I had hsg which proved slow movement - I’m not sure if my c section caused some of the issues though xx

When you got pregnant with your son

Did you have endometriosis?

I guess so, I was never checked for it until I had issues conceiving after my son. I’d had symptoms of it I suppose but didn’t have a clue what endo was.

It’s just strange how it was after my son that I had issues that’s what makes me think it was my c section rather than the endo but I can’t be sure, endo gets worse right?

Did you have lap in order to get pregnant with him ?

How did you deal with the issues that make getting pregnant difficult with your son ?

Yes endo gets worse when i was 11 years old i have severe pain but my doctor said it is okay and he did ultrasound and it was clear when i was 16/17 years old i had big cyst i had lap and they descoverd huge endometrioma and my doctor immediately diagnosed me with stage 4 he said cyst immediately means stage 4

Without cyst means stage 1 or 2

So I developed from stage 1,2 to stage 4

I conceived completely naturally, no issues at all and very quickly which is why I’m dumbfounded that I’ve got a problem.

I don’t have cysts fortunately but it was stage 3 according to the consultant who performed the lap.

After my son was born I didn’t feel a hundred percent - at least not the way I did before but I put that down to being a normal experience after a difficult birth.

Externally the scar is almost non existent, internally I think things were quite different and scar tissue was removed because it was twisting my womb to the left.

As I say externally I look in good shape, most people don’t believe I have an issue because of it. I had issues with the doctor even referring me in the first place likely because of what they see (or don’t see) on the outside. But I knew something was wrong.

I’m sorry you went through it as a young age. I had terrible periods when they began, they were unbearable but fortunately at that time annual.
