Infertility sounds like such a dirty word

[Princess81]

Had my sick line issued today for work after my operation.
The hospital gave my gp the discharge notes, I opened the envelope thinking it was for me and it said: ailment: infertility
I couldn't read on, I just started crying it sounded so, so final. I know they should be able to treat me but it really doused my hopes of ever being a mum, which sounds daft when I write it down, just scared me

I've had ovarian cysts looked at surgically. Know I'm likely to have issues when I TTC.

I'm sure all will be fine for you hun, but sorry it's upset you today, I know how it feels.

OH just hugs me and says 'it'll be ok baby, I've got super-sperm'- like that'll fix everything lol

Lxx

Aw, i'm so sorry Princess

I completely understand how you feel - it's one of those things that isn't supposed to happen and having a baby seems to go from a steep climb to a vertical.

Don't forget though that "Infertily" is a very broad term - it's not necessarily what you have either, but just the reason for your initial visit to the doctors from what you told them.

There is loads of things they can do to get your ovaries going again and there is nothing to indicate that you won't be able to carry your own child to full term either.

Start researching your options - phone the GP, phone fertility clinics, read books, read fourms. It made me feel like crap... at first. Then once i got my head around it i started to accept and now still feel like crap...

But i know there is light at the end of the tunnel is the point i'm trying to make

A big fat GRRRRR to insensitive doctors everywhere!!
Try and stay positive princess - having difficulty conceiving may have been the reason why you needed the op, but now that you've had the op hopefully everything will be different in the future Xx

my BEST friend was TTC for NINE WHOLE YEARS. the doctors told her that there was nothing wrong with her and they couldnt understand why it was taking so long, or not happening. But now she has just delivered a lovely, healthy boy!

Doctors arent god, and they dont know everything, trust me, my uncles are all doctors, and they gave given me some randomm! diagnos! lol

cheer up xxx

Thanks everyone it's a month today since I had the op I got AF (almighty awful AF) about 4 days after the op and I am currently waiting for it to arrive any day. Having said that I think I ov'd this month due to ewcm which I've never had before and I think I bd'd on the day of that ov, but with all that's gone on the past few weeks ive kinda lost track x
