I have been at Day Assessment today because of cyst pain and was telling the registrar about the fact it has taken us 10 years to conceive this baby, my gp ran all the tests she could on me but came up against it with my oh's gp who wouldn't refer him for tests (no need, haven't been trying long enough, young enough to do it etc), therefore my gp wouldn't proceed either. We couldn't afford private care.
As I kept having cysts burst and after 6 years of no joy we just gave up, a doctor told me that scar tissue from the burst cysts would more than likely damage my ovaries too much to ovulate so I just kind of switched off from it all. When asked by family and friends why we didn't have kids I would just lie and say I didn't want any and yet every baby that was born tore my heart out.
4 years after giving up I found out I was pregnant. Nothing on this planet could have shocked me more. I was living a far from ideal lifestyle lol, fatty foods, alcohol etc so that was my first massive change.
Anyway, talking to the registrar she was really angry that we had just been left to it and has made me promise her that I will only try for a second baby for 6 months before insisting we are referred for further help and she is writing to my gp to tell her too.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I regret so much just giving up. I have missed out on so much (even though it's now finally my turn). There's always someone that will listen and will help, even if it's not our first point of contact. I've promised myself that I will never put us through that heartache again and will do all I can for baby number 2.
Never ever give up ladies, there's a baby out there (or two) waiting for all of us xxxxxxxxx
