Anyone else been TTC over 12 months?


Just thought I'd see how many we have here who've been TTC for 12 or more months.

What steps have you taken to try to sort out your infertility issues?

DH and I waited way to long to get this ball rolling.
We've seen a Gyno, been diagnosed with PCOS, although I second guess that.

I was put on Met, but it delayed my AF by around 2 months, so out of frustration I stopped Met and AF arrived days later.

I'm also starting my 2nd round of clomid tomorrow. I'm hoping this is a successful one. First one worked a charm, just missed the Egg though! lol

I had been TTC in total for just over 2 years and had various ultrasounds, boodwork and other tests to try and fid out what was wrong.

I had complained since i was a young teenager that something didnt feel right down there and if often be doubled up in what i can only describe as x10period cramps.

Then just as my hospital appointment for my Lap came through i fell PG, so in my mind it is my own little miracle!!

Weve been TTC for two and a half years, went through the standard tests by docs, gyno, assisted concecption unit and nothing was found to be wrong.
Gyno and docs had a borderline PCOS result but by the time id got referred to the ACU id lost alot of weight and it dissapeared.

Had a laparoscopy in Dec 07 and still nothing wrong so had been put on the list for IUI. Just waiting on the last results for the screening tests next week and we should get the go ahead

Hi everyone,
We have been ttc for 19 months. I was diagnosed with PCOS shortly after starting ttc and finaly managed to see a decent gynae at the end of last year.(Had some problems with the first gynae that I saw).

Anyway I was put on Metformin in Feb and so far so good. The has made an appearence twice which is great.

I'm going back to the gynae at the end of may hopefuly to be put on clomid.

Hubby is being tested too and we will find out his results at our next appointment.

Hi Rosie, welcome hun. I'm on my second round of clomid. I was put on Met aswell, but like I said, all it did was delay my AF, i never thought she was going to show. My Gyno told me to just try the Clomid. So hopefully that will work.


Hi Helen. I'm glad the AF is arriving on time for you too sweetie, hopefully she'll be late soon enough

Hi guys...

Dh and I have been trying to conceive off and on since early 1999. In that time frame, I went on and off the pill about 3 times but about 6-7 of those years were with no protection. I have been actively TTC since Dec 2006 this time around.

My problem is PCOS and the fact that I do not ovulate. Met did nothing for me as many of you know. According to the last time I spoke to my doctor, the next plan is to try Clomid for 3 months and if that does not work, than we do tests for endometriosis and blocked tubes. (Then it's IUI.)

I really have my fingers crossed for Clomid because in my mind, I never really prepared myself for anything past that. Now I have seriously set my self up, just in case IUI or IVF is the only options.

Like Ney Ney, I also waited WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long before seeing a doctor but I was foolish when I was younger and believed them when even at 25 they told me that my periods might sort themselves out. (Yeah right! :P)

Nice to meet other long termers too!
