hi my name is lydia and I have been looking at these sites for ages and finally decided to post! im 21 and been with my partner for 3 years we are both professionals and are settled so before i go on i dont want to hear the your too young business or u should be married because ive heard it all before no offense! it took 15 months to get pregnant the first time but had a blighted ovum and the sac measured 8 weeks! i had no bleeding or cramping so i didnt find out til 12 weeks it was so awful walking round for 3 months with an empty womb. i chose the d and c as it had not passed after 4 weeks and it was classed as emergency. i never got follow up bloods to measure hcg or a secind ultrasound and i wish i had now for piece of mind as i have a retroverted uterus and sometimes wonder if maybe just maybe there was still a bit of hope. BUT i will never know! my cycle is always exactly 28 days even one month after d and c i was back to normal! it has been another 6 months and im sick of getting negatives! my partner is healthy and im a bit overweight but have recently lost 5 kilos and hopefully alot more! we both dont smoke or even drink! EVER and still nothing has happened. im sure i ovulate as my cycle is clockwork. ive finally made an appointment for my partner to get his sperm tested and bloodwork so hopefully it will rule some things out. I never thought i would have so much trouble i want some answers so we can save for ivf or adoption and have a good 20 years to work it all out. im soooo frustrated im a nurse and see pregnant women ALL the time! and i still cry often especially now as my due date was november 17. the only thing i can think of is i caught chlamydia at 17 and it took 3 lots of treatment to cure it but i never got PID and doctors said it wouldnt be that but im still worried as i could of had it for a year as i only found out when my partner had symptoms and we both realised what had happened. Ive used all types of ovulation detectors and am on the fertility monitor for the first time and havent detected any ovulation yet but with the maybe baby it said i ovulated everyday! im so confused My partner is getting a semen analysis on wednesday and we are getting a fertility review at monash ivf on the gold coast and im nervous yet excited to get the ball rolling. I am currently on day 19 of 28 day cycle and feeling like time has stopped! ANY help or advice would be great or to talk to someone going through the same thing!

Hey Lydia (love your name by the way - it's one of my favourites!!)
Don't know that I can offer any advice, but you are definitely NOT too young...I think it a real mistake to tell women they are too young for kids - because women wait, and then when they are older they can have all sorts of difficulties (with less time to sort them out...!!).
I really hope you get some answers and become the mother you so want to be. It isn't fair sometimes, and it is very hard to see other people with their children (particularly if they don't treat them well).
We've had two cycles with not much luck and we are looking into international adoption as well. The best advice I could give you is reach out for support whenever you need it - if your clinic has counsellors go and see them even if you don't think you need it. I didn't think I did, but when I went I found myself crying and really working through some feelings I didn't think I even had!!
Anyway - that's enough rambling from me...big to you and keep in touch!
buliej you must be so happy!! Congratulations, and all the best for a H and H pregnancy!!
Metoo, sounds like we do have the same FS. I've been told however that I will have to wait until she got back from holidays, and the first appointment was 28th November, so that would have been too late to start anything before christmas. I was able to let the nurses know that I really wasn't happy with having to wait that long though, and Dr Chapple has authorised me to have an FET cycle before the end of the year, so I'm now just waiting to be day 1 again after having this month off. Good luck for Thursday!!
to everyone else in the tww, i hope it goes quickly for you
Buliej -you champion Congratulations, and all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Hi to everyone else.
This TWW is DRAGGING......I don't know how I'm going to get through it. The day of my BT is a very busy clinic at work and I'm a bit worried about being there when I get the phone cal lin the afternoon....if it's good, I"ll just want to run home to DH, but if it's bad I'm not sure I'll be able to carry on at work!! Never mind, patience is a virtue right?!?!?
Congrats Buleij, all the best for a H+H preg and smiling little bubba at the end.
Brooke, glad you were able to sort out with nurses, think all clinics must do different cause i had 1 injection at transfer...
Hey Kelly, you are a power house with 12 frosties still waiting adn 2 on board - you go girl! Dunno about you but i keep looking out for those preg symptoms - sore BB etc - that everyone says you get even with the hormone injection.. bring it on!
Neptune, stick in there hun, can you do any pampering or fun distractions to take your mind off the TWW?
Muppity, i reckon i'd into the POAS test as soon as i could! the BT is more the official confirmation, sure you'll figure it out tho
hugs to all, Abbie
please give advice
to you and keep in touch!
