confused/frustrated

[ahulb]

Hey, could do with some assurance and help please, my husband and i have been ttc for two years, lost the weight i needed to, i eat healthy and drink plenty of water, taken pregnacare, folic acid, evening primrose oil (suffer with excema) and still no good news. Been to the drs had bloods done and apparently they all normal, my husband is fine, just feel rubbish and feel that im doing something wrong. I use the clear blue fertility monitor every month aswell. Is there something im missing? x

Have you had all fertility tests done or just blood tests? i.e. husbands sperm count, had your tubes etc. checked? Has your doctor recommended anything, especially after 2 years, like being tested before going on Clomid etc?

You seem to be doing all the right things and with the CBFM, obviously at the right times too! I am only on cycle 2 so can't be of much use, but didn't want to read and run xxxx

oh no 2 yrs is a long time im surprised the doc hasnt given u chlomid to help u along maybe,i have heard gd things about concieve+ and soft cups maybe give them a gd if u havnt already xxx

my husbands been tested hes fine, but ive just had bloods done and because they're normal there's apparently no need for further testing f or me(was very annoyed about that) not sure what else i can do now x

like jojo says, have you tried C+ or pre-seed lubricants? If you suffer from not alot of EWCM (which shouldn't be a problem really if you are taking EPO) then this might be worth a try. Also the softcups are good for popping over your cervix after DTD, to keep the sperm next to your cervix opening xxx

Hi hun, there's lots of girls on here that are more clued up than me but I think I'd be going back to the dr? Iv been ttc for 10 months and my oh is fine. I've had blood tests done but I shouted a bit louder and got an internal exam and sent for a pelvic ultrasound at the hospital. I then shouted a bit louder about my oh being nearly 40! And dr has referred me to hospital for further tests. Was gonna get referred regardless when we'd been ttc for a year. I think most people get a bit more investigation after a year unless there are other issues which make them more of a priority. Wonder what the others think but hope u get somewhere soon. Lots of luck xx

no havent tried softcups but have concieve+ i will try softcups though its given me some hope feel bit let down by drs atm thank u ladies xxx

 

[Kiki0210]

Could u try a different dr at ur practice? When ur up to facing them again! X

 

[jojo3972]

i would also go bk and rant a bit n ask for my investigations best of luck xx

Im getting to the point of going back to bug my dr, it took them 3 months to finally say come in for bloods so they've had a month grace of me not going in so defo think it time to go back and say enough is enough, even if i have to pay private i will. thanks kiki and good luck to u all aswell xxx

 

[Kiki0210]

Good luck hun!! I hope they get their backsides in gear x

Hi Hun, my bloods were normal and my hubbys sperm was and is normal but they still sent me for a scan and a tubes test. They shouldn't just stop at bloods especially if you've been trying for 2 years. After the bloods the normal procedure is to refer you to a specialist who will do the rest of the tests. I recommend u go to your GP and ask to be referred.
