TTC 18 months - All tests clear..what next?

[star101]

Hi All,

We have been trying for 18months with no bfps at all. We've both been tested for everything and I just had a HyCosy. Everything is normal, I'm 35, DH is 39. non smokers, dont drink much, eat right etc. We have been pretty relaxed about it most of the time.

I was shocked when the hyCosy came out normal as had convinced myself my tubes were damaged. We have an appointment coming up to discuss options.

I've heard people sometimes have success after hycosy as it blows away any "cobwebs" so maybe...but dont want to get hopes up

Anyone been in this position? Don't get me wrong its great my tubes are fine but I was left a bit non plussed by the whole exercise. What do you do when you can't get pregnant but nothing is wrong....but something must be wrong...?
Argh!!

We were ttc for almost 18 months, all tests clear then got bfp two months after all tests. No idea why didn't get bfp before but it can happen. Good luck x

Thanks ladies I have a follow up tomorrow so will see what they say. I think I've been a bit too focussed on figuring out what's wrong and need to switch to just making it happen now. It is so frustrating though. One of my friends is pg no trouble at all and it is hard to meet up with her. Don't mean to be bitter and twisted about it but it's just a bit hard sometimes. Thanks for the nice messages xx

Hiya...

They'll have you down as unexplained but might do a hysteroscopy or laparoscopy to get a better look your tubes and uterus as well as talk about asistance. Not sure really as not been in your situation. In the mean time I'd say keep trying as everything sounds positive to me - sometimes it just takes a little longer!! Good luck and jump on your OH

Loving the advice ladies haha I am feeling very cheered up! Thankyou! Had app today and they said we are unexplained infertility (i knew this) and cos of our postcode there is no free treatment till we've been trying three years. We have a lot on at the moment so are going to see what happens in the next few months then might look at self funded iui. Postcode lottery is amazing there is an area nearby where they get funded treatment after 1 year? I now understand why people complain about it...madness. anyway we are happy to keep going for a bit on our own so fx.

Best wishes to all of you too ! Maybe we should all go and jump on our ohs lol
