hi everyone,
hope it's ok for me to be around in what seems like a very female oriented area of the internet
Been TTC for slightly over 18 months with no success both fit & healthy, i've just turned 27 and she's 25.
it's difficult to talk to her about this to be honest as she doesn't like it mentioned too much.
for over a year we've been taking vitamins and stuff to help, just after reading various posts about different ones helping, neither of us are taking any medication that should affect fertility.
she went to the doctors 6 months back to be told there was nothing to worry about and it would happen on its own. they said there was an option to go through something to help with getting pregnant but apparently it is so intense a lot of couples who go through it break up? seems weird to me this would be the case!
thing is, she has irregular periods sometimes 2/3 months but the doctor never acknowledged this apparently. we've been using fertility tests for nearly a year which do come up positive every couple of months or so.
i'm not suggesting it's her at fault, i'm hoping to get an appointment tomorrow to see if they'll test me or whatever they do
i don't know what else to do, we haven't obsessed over doing tests and writing down dates of periods and stuff (she wouldn't anyway) but it's really getting to me now specially as friends are onto their 2nd in the time we've been trying just seems something must be wrong somewhere surely if it's took this long with no success, i've pretty much given up drinking too just incase.
i've read lots of threads but a lot of them aren't updated with an outcome so it's hard to learn anything.
any advice would be great! feel like i'm losing hope!
thanks for reading
