onedaymaybe · Aug 1st, 2009, 11:14 AM

Hi everyone,

Im new

Would just like to ask everyones advice on a few issues and see if anyone can relate..

We have been trying for 18months now and nothing..
I only have one ovary due to an ectopic nearly 2 years ago now,
Doctor has said this shouldnt stop me getting pregnant but then why havnt i had a pregnancy since?
I also have an underactive thyroid and a little over weight but im losing the weight now thankfully..
Me and my husband thort i was pregnant this month had the signs and a few symptoms etc..
But i tested last night and it was neg, then i came on this morning! Sods law hey!

Would really be gratful for anyones help and advice on this.

Thanks AMorgan

Hi.

I would definitely go to my GP if I was trying for 18 months without a result.

Have you found fertility friend web site yet?? It's a good site.

Best of luck. Am sending you lots of

I'd also go along to GP. It doesn't hurt to get things moving whilst you still keep trying yourself. I know you live in a different area from me, however there may be quite a large waiting list for hospitals in your area, like there is here.
I can't tell you the amount of times I've experience the signs you spoke of. My husband now looks for signs eg swollen boobs, late period etc. 2 months ago he was so convinced he made me take a test. Think seeing him so disappointed is worse than me feeling it.
Good luck

Welcome.

I would recommend going as soon as possible. I know after 12months ttc i went to the doc and they told me to ttc for another year cause i was young - at 25. Now 3 years later ive just finished the testing process........I wish I demanded to be referred much earlier.

Best wishes.

I would see you GP because they can test to make sure your other ovary is definately releasing an egg...

I had an ectopic in march and if I am not pregnant by sept they will start fertility treatment so I would say deifnitely go and see what they have to say. X

Hi there,

I have had an underactive thyroid since I was 14 (22 years) and I am also overweight. Just to reassure you I have 3 children and am ttc number 4. So long as you are on the correct dose of thyroxine I can't see a problem.

As for the ectopic, my friend had an ectopic pregnancy and went on to have 2 children with no problems at all.

As the other girls have advised I would go see your GP hun and get the ball rolling. Good Luck in the meantime x
