Oh Chazabell, I absolutely understand how you feel hun!!!
We have been TTC since Nov 2009 and immediately got referred to an obstetrician due to me being Diabetic and having to have pre conception care. As a result I get round the clock support from the baby Doc, Specialist Midwife and a whole host of other Dr's & Nurses etc... I am very fortunate for this (not the diabetes tho...) but do feel a bit daft attending the ante natal clinic with no pregnancy/baby in sight!!! Although, I am overweight and extra pounds are mainly on my flippin stomach so have been mistaken for preggers a few times.....
Sorry, back to my story...... 9 months ago I told my Dr that I didn't think I was ovulating and I got sent for CD21 bloods immediately. It did indeed, show that I hadn't ovulated. Good news was that the messages in brain (??) were working well though. This indicated stress etc as a possible cause for non ovulation.
7 Months on and I was still not ovulating so I quit my MEGA stressful job and lo and behold, I am ovulating again. Whoooop!!
HOWEVER, in mean time my OH was sent for semen analysis and it came back low (originally told 1.5million by Dr's secretary but now told it wasn't that low.... Hmmm, we will see). We are STILL waiting for the formal results. Nobody seems to be able to tell us what is happening and it is taking so long. In the end, I asked for them to be sent to our GP so at least we can speak to him (got an apt on 6 July).
I have also been told that I can have a HyCoSy Scan and this is where my story was leading to. I thought I had been on a waiting list for MONTHS, only to find out this week that I have to have another blood test BEFORE being aloud on the freakin list. Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhh!!! So much wasted time of nothing happening (when I thoughtit was!!).
I have been so used to prompt appointments/follow up with my diabetic team that I am finding it incredibly difficult getting to grips with the 'laid back' nature of the fertility teams. Its as though this field isn't deemed important enough!!
To make matters worse, my little sister (& best friend in the whole world!) has decided to get married in Greece next flippin June and I can just see it happening now - I won't be able to go because the scan would have flushed my tubes, helped us get pg (YeeeeHaaaaa) and I will be 6months+.
I am feeling sooooo stressed, it is unreal Hun and reading your post, it seemed like you and I were totally on the same page re feeling so fed up of this long waiting game.....
Anyway, you should defo ask for one of these scan's!!! In a nutshell, a catheter style instrument is inserted up your uterus and it has a balloon type thing on the end. Once inside, they will fill it with air and inject a dye through tubes. Any blockages etc will be seen immediately on scan and can more often than not be sorted just by applying more pressure/force on the injection and it's liquid content - therefore, flushing your tubes out!!
By all accounts, the 3 cycles after a HyCoSy scan, you are at your most fertile!!!!!!
I am sorry to have rattled on and I really hope you don't mind but I just thought you would like to know that there are lots of us feeling like you are now and if you ever want to talk, blow off steam etc... PM me anytime!!!!
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and am sure that soon enough, we will all be blessed with beautiful babies!!
Take care hun and lots of love (& baby dust)
