Am i Infertile?
x-Alice-x
Regular
Turning 30 yo this year
TTC 2 years
NHS won't fund treatment or investigation as partner has children
All blood tests normal
Had a termination at 18 yo
Normal weight & have generally healthy lifestyle
As 2 years TTC with no success and no explanation i'm starting to really worry that i will never conceive naturally
Ive booked a 'fertility MOT' for £300 with a clinic but i think its really just a gear up for IVF treatment which i cannot afford right now. Not sure whether to wait or carry on and hope for the best...getting really down about this. every month is
Does this sounds familiar? Is there any hope? Should i bite the bullet and go for IVF to save years wasting my time?

Are you tracking your temperature?
Are you on some kind of medication?
@Kazam2817 thank you for your response - as i have said above there are things to suggest i do ovulate - i'm concerned i will be one of those 'unexplained infertility' cases.
I have thought possible PCOS or Endo but i don't experience overly painful periods or have any other symptoms and my bloods (all the many of them) have all shown normal. Getting those BFN are so hard - AF is due between 28th-30th this week so i'm crossing everything i have - I hope the drugs work for you, i guess its only the first month so try not to get disheartened (easier said that done, i understand) x
@VanGn Ahh, thank you for your post, i am really intrigued by going abroad for IVF as i have seen others are doing it but i have no info on this - where are you going? who are you using? did it work for you? xx
two women at work have announced their pregnancy this week along with my best friend a month ago! #bravefaceattheready! xx
I hope it all goes really well for you and you get your BFP at the end xxx
Please let me know what your experience is there! Good luck!! x
Since i opened this chat my partner and i have seen a private specialist. All my bloods were good, i have good egg reserve, ovarian scan was fine, internal dye scan showed no damage to tubes or uterus, OH SA came back fine as well....only possible thing was my thyroid levels were raised slightly so i am waiting on med's for that but there was nothing else that could be diagnosed.
The doctor has concluded that its unexplained and that i may conceive naturally but i'm on month 21 now and not feeling very confident about it all.
Do you think its worth a second opinion? The doctor i saw seemed really thorough, It was the London Womens Clinic in Harley street? x
@123123As have you given Alice your recommendations already?
