Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone,

I am 33 years old and we are TTC our first child and have been for the last year. I have had heavy periods for the last few years and, during a routine ultrasound because I had been bleeding for such a long time (4 months), they found ovarian cysts. The gynae wasn't too concerned, but my GP was. This was 18 months ago and, despite normal periods since, I had another heavy, 3 week period in November, resulting in another referral to gyane (waiting for my appt as we speak). The GP has diagnosed PCOS; the gynae disagreed when I saw him last year, so I am hoping to get some definitive answers this time. They seem to think it is related to stress, but I am certain it is, in part at least, down to the cysts. I just want the truth, however difficult it is to hear.

After seeing my GP in November, I was put on 10 days of Norethisterone to stop my period, which did work at least and I am waiting to see when my gynae referral comes through. I have changed my lifestyle, lost 2 stone (another stone to go, but moving in the right direction) in the hope the NHS will take me seriously this time.

Sorry to go on like this in my first post. I don't really have anyone to talk to, other than DH, because we decided not to tell anyone we were trying. All my friends with children got pregnant within a couple of months, so I don't really know anyone who has struggled to conceive.

Hoping I am not alone x x x

Mistyblue, I can tell you ur not alone at all!! We've been ttc for 2yrs and it feels as though i'm the only one in the world not conceiving... To crown it all my best friend has just fallen pregs- gracious. Whenever I hear of someone who is pregs I feel almost like a punch in the stomach at hearing the news. Really, without sounding melodramatic. I'm also in the tww testing on 5Jan and now we're trying preseed to help the deed along. Well, I really pray it works. RE recommended IVF as a last resort, which I so don't want to do. Clomid was enough for me. I hope u have tons of success and babydust to you dear!

I tried with my ex for two years and he refused to get tested so I know that horrible feeling you get every month it doesn't happen. All my friends seem to conceive straight away too at the time.
But, people don't always talk about it, one had IVF and was successful and one of My friends had massive problems with endometriosis and 3 MC but after an operation on it now she has 2 beautiful boys.
So what I'm saying is there's hope for you yet, best of luck, I'm sure you'll get there eventually and appreciate it even more.

Thank you so much to both of you. It's nice to know I am not alone, although I don't wish this situation on anyone. My gynae appt came through yesterday, so hoping to be able to get on the road to some answers soon. It is difficult seeing my friends and sister pregnant and I am genuinely happy for them, but I do feel really jealous sometimes and that makes me feel guilty. I am keeping my fingers crossed for everyone ttc that they get that bfp really soon x x
