This is so depressing and hard and I need to whinge
35 and have been trying for 8 months without success. Finally bit the bullet and saw a specialist in June. Spent late June and the start of this month testing - and now can’t get back into see the specialist until late August. Was initially meant to see her early August - so I would have only had one cycle without the results and potential intervention.
I had a hycosy two days ago and they measured my follicles. There’s not many, and the best one was 9mm. I’m day 11 of my cycle now and I got a positives on two ovulation urine tests today - which is insanely early and I think it means my follicles aren’t large enough for me to have a mature egg in there.
I’ve done exactly what I shouldn’t do, and have read the report from my hycosy and have googled it all. I know there’s things you can do to stimulate follicle growth before trying IVF and I’m so frustrated that I’m wasting time and months, eggs and follicles, because the specialist is on leave and then is moving offices.
I’m not sure what the point of my post is really, other than just to rant to people who might get it. We aren’t really talking to our friends and family about this and so I’m just ruminating alone and trying not to make my partner as depressed as I am!
