@quando62 No. It’s not routinely done here before trying to conceive. That is the next step

@dilipkumarpaswan I’m so sorry for your loss. In many ways I’m glad I’ve never had so much as a hint of a positive. The constant vague planning of when you’ll be on leave and then realising you won’t even be pregnant is so hard 😞

@jahislord I’m planning on going to my GP (im in New Zealand - different system) once my dissertation is in. I’m hoping I can get the testing out the way, and then if still no luck by the 12 month mark we can go straight to fertility treatments at that point instead of wasting more time doing tests

@eeeindia Glad that the HSG helped get things going for you! I’ve not had any testing or procedures done. I’m doing basic tracking with OPK but not BBT, but my periods are SO regular, as soon as I got off the pill, that I’ve been assuming I am ovulating. But it’ll be good to at least check...

@eeeindia I made a whole post talking about my life, you hardly need to apologise for that! It’s been really good hearing other people going through the same thing. Of my friends with babies only one had issues, but her issues were very bad (ivf, 25 week birth, 3 months NICU, multiple...

@williamk I’d like an invite - coming off birth control in 8 weeks 😬

@sparow Oh the holiday thing is difficult. We booked a trip to the UK for a wedding right when we started trying. And the “I’ll be very pregnant” became “it’ll be nice to tell everyone in person” became “I can drink the champagne”. So many vague plans just never eventuate.

@barry56 Thank you! So close now! The first few months I read quite a lot of books about conceiving, though avoided pregnancy books themselves. But now I just need to not be on that space at all for my own mental health 😞

@lupacexi While I wasn’t a bridesmaid, I delayed getting a dress for my cousins wedding to the last minute because MAYBE I’d not fit it by then. Totally get that! (And then the airline lost our luggage, and had to go dress shopping while horribly jet lagged anyway lol). I don’t anyone knows the...

@marysffas Sorry to hear you’ve got your period too. Mine arrived literally just before I got in bed last night and I proceeded to cry on my partner. Luckily reddit is 90% of my social media, with a sprinkling of Pinterest which if nothing else is quite easy to manipulate the algorithm. Oh and...

@nncsmth I’m going to the doctor in a couple of weeks once my paper is turned in. Suspect I’ll be told I need to wait till the 12 month mark, but my partner turns 40 in March, and we potentially need a referral by then if we want it to be funded under the public system, so I really want to know...

@peter95faith Thank you! Can’t believe it’s almost done! In one respect with TTC I’m very lucky - my periods are VERY regular. So I never really get a chance to convince myself it’s late. Small comforts

@elementalstyle Yeah, that’s how I feel. Like I’m devastated my period started, but also…I fully expected to not be pregnant anyway.

@fsblisschild I talk to my mum as well. She had to take clomid for her first pregnancy so she does get it. The sad and lonely is the main reason I wrote the post though. It’s nice to know other people are going through the same ❤️

@tzipora My SIL (whom I love dearly) got pregnant first try with both babies 🙃 I’m very glad that they were done with kids by the time I started trying

I’ve just got my period again and have now been trying for 8 months. And while I didn’t expect it to be quick, I wasn’t really expecting it to take this long either. And apparently 8 months is my limit of being able to just brush it off - this is the first time I’ve really cried over my period...
