jkbmah · Nov 27th, 2009, 08:14 AM

AF arrived today despite no cramping which i am annoyed about as i got my hopes up!

What makes matters worse some single mum brought her (unplanned) baby into work today - i hate it when people do that! it seems so unfair!!

feeling like crap today - wonder when the docs will let us do fertility tests???? its been 5 months

kinda know the feeling!!!

AF showed up today and my (18 yr old) cousin gave birth to her unplanned baby boy this morning too! Sooooo happy for her but doesn't make me feel any better about myself.

i know its hard hun but keep your hopes up, it took over 6 months to get pregnant with Ewan, and then 3 yrs to get pregnant with Robyn, i was never offered any infertility tests with either, appart from a routine blood test when i was having very irregular peroids. Some of my friends were having the 2nd and third babies by the time Robyn was confirmed.

well i know its still early days for us compared to others - i guess i just want to know if there is any serious issues so we dont waste any time - if we need some help then I want to start now - not iin 2 years time!!

I did ask our doctors and they wouldnt even consider doing any tests on me even after 18 months of trying, i had to push for the blood test after 2.5 yrs and luckily it did show that i had very high prolactin levels, so i was eventually treated.

Mmmm, if you reeaallly wanted to, you could go to a different doctor and slightly exaggerate the time you've been trying for... whistle...whistle...

Sorry you're feeling crappy.

5 months isn't a long time and it is normal for ttc to take up to a year so use that to say positive. I know it is frustrating though, I'm on my 7th month and feel frustrated and disappointed each month.

If they started doing tests on people who have been trying for 5 months then it would make it longer for people who have been trying for a long time to get help as the doctors, clinics labs etc would be more busy.

good luck, hope you get your BFP soon.

I agree, 5 months isn't long at all, I doubt that any doctor would offer tests at the moment. Most will only consider it after 18 months some won't even offer it then. I know each moneth is a killer, 3 yrs was bad enough for me with No.2 but i know there are people who have been waiting even longer than that.

Awww..I know 5 months probably seems like an eternity. But in the larger scheme it is not that long. I would keep trying a little while longer. I went to a specialist at 12 months and was so hopeful they could help. However it has been more disappointing than I thought. Some of the tests were painful and they didn't find anything wrong. The meds put my body in such havoc that I have not even been allowed to TTC for the past 2 months. I am now on birth control pills to shrink a large cyst caused by the meds. Unless you have reason to believe something might be wrong, keep it up. Fingers crossed for you. I hope you get your BFP soon!!
