First blood test done

[LillyFlower]

Hi everyone

I haven't posted on here for a while.

So it's been 14 months of TTC, after an early MC in February last year, we still haven't be blessed with our baby yet. I had my first blood test done at the weekend on day 20 of my cycle, have my next one between day 1 and 3...feeling very nervous and anxious...I just hope all is okay. Feels like the longest 14 months of my life, i just want our little magical baby...so many of my friends have had babies or fallen pregnant these past 14 months without trying and it really makes me feel sad and down hearted when we want it more than anything.
OH and I are just hoping this is the first step to getting our baby.

Has anyone else been through this recently? How did it go for you? Were you nervous too? I feel really worried that something is wrong with me - and if there isn't something wrong with me...why haven't i fallen yet? Such a confusing place to be in right now.

So sorry to hear about your mc xx

There's quite a few ladies here who are still ttc after 1year+

All the tests I've had I've been both nervous and excited for. I just wanted them to find something wrong that they could fix! But all our tests have came back normal. It's good but frustrating as it's coming to 5 years since starting ttc now and still no baby.

Hi, we’ve trying since october 2016 (although currently on a 2 month break from trying as I had to have mmr jab as I wasn’t immune to rubella, before I could be referred to fertility clinic - so make sure you check with your doctor that you’re immune as I’d assumed I was!)
I first saw the doctor in September 2017 and since then I’ve had bloods day 2 and 21, external ultrasound scan, swabs and my husband has had SA done. All came back good and our next step is seeing the fertility clinic. It’s completely normal to feel scared about the results and the very fact that you’re having the tests makes it seem so real. I just always want to get each step over done with and cross my fingers that it’s one step closer to having a baby.
I know how you feel... so many friends I know have got pregnant within a couple of months or had surprise babies and then say things like ‘I must be really fertile...so when are you gonna have a baby?’
I hope everything goes well for you and you get happy news soon xx

Hoping that things will turn around ASAP. You will get pregnant soon just continue TTC and be positive and it will happen!

Thank you all so much for your replies.

It's comforting to know we're not the only couple going through this.

Last year we put everything on hold to focus on TTC, it almost ruined our marriage because I became so depressed over not getting pregnant, i was a nightmare at times!.
That weight on my heart is still there but this year we are trying to look at things differently - at least these tests will tell me whether I'm okay or not, and if not then at least it will give us our next step.

Hello and welcome back.

We've also been trying for too long now so I know how disheartening it can be.

Once you start tests, it's such a conflict of emotions as on one hand you don't want there to be an issue but on the other hand if there is an issue then there's something they can fix. We've had several hurdles along the way, all of which are fixed now, but sadly still no baby.

Try not to put life on hold if you can. I find it helpful to have things to look forward to. I also find it helpful if I feel like I'm being proactive though sometimes speed of appointments etc doesn't really help with this.

Good luck on your journey.
