Difficulty getting pregnant....
Discussion
There isn't a justification, s
t happens, that's the way I dealt with that idea long ago. I have things in my life, we all do, which others have no hope of, for whatever reason, they have things I don't...yet. There is no point in jealousy of any kind, and if we let self pity, and the thoughts of life not being fair take over, we are putting time and emotion in the wrong places IMO.

8 Weeks after D&C and still registering as pregnant. Very slow process........
I am 14 weeks on and still the same. FFS.... Except I had no D&CSee, tot he post above talking about it makes it easier. Strange thing is that we have friends staying with us who are pregnant and haven't told them yet because we don't want to scare them. However, we will be telling them today but also letting them know how it makes us feel better seeing them pregnant and helps us to keep on trying.

Why is it (and this is a serious observation) that hard working people often struggle to get pregnant, yet stay-at-home council types seem to get knocked up every other day? Stress perhaps?
Exactly what my missus says every day. I have to keep reminding her that, quite frankly, life does not care about fairness. We are all a bunch of chemicals which sometimes do not function properly.Went for our second consultation last night and our doctor prescribed Clomid. He is fantastic and always positive, while being realistic.
We may have paid for it, but in two weeks we are further than we probably would have been in six months on the NHS.
Continued worry is a lack of diagnosis, so more tests required. Distinguishing between Poly and Multi cystic ovaries is proving tricky so hormone levels need to be checked.
Low GI diet prescribed much to my wife's dismay!
Saw the Doctor on Friday who says he can't see any obvious reason from the results so far. So now it is the wait till late December an appointment at the gynaecology/fertility unit at the hospital. How much does a private consultation cost and any recommendations who to go to round Birmingham?

Can't recommend anyone in Birmingham, but so far we have paid £450 for two consulations (including two internal scans at each appointment).Needless to say, there will come a point where we might have to revert back to the NHS if the waiting list is not too long!
For what it's worth , it seems a very common phenomenon that when a couple adopt after years of trying for their own child, they have a natural conception.
To me that shows the influence of stress on the bodies, maybe almost worth trying to take a break from trying to conceive, worrying will certainly not help matters, like the pressure to 'get it right'.
It is also a thing which women get worked up about, if their friends are falling pregnant they feel left out, then they get obsessional, then it's The Mental.

+1 way past the Mental, we took a friends 3 year old out for the day as they have no family locally and needed some time to get some jobs done and concentrate on their baby. Today did some shopping and popped into my MIL as we hadn't seen her for a while she had my 10 month old nephew over. The end result of this my Mrs crying on the drive home as 2 days seeing babies has got to her.
This is getting silly as the Doctor can't tell us anything and we don't have an appointment with any one more knowledgeable till late December.

I hope you all get it resolved.
I am not supposed to have anymore but things recently have changed that. I would maybe take one more go. Yesterday I found out I have a sizable growth (hopefully boring polyp) which is causing lots of problems and one duff ovary apparently. So even if we decide to go back down the rtoute of wanting more - it may well not be too straight forward. I am hoping to see a consultant soon. I have to say having had suhc trouble with coneceiving no 1 and then 2 and 3 coming rather too easily , I really dont' want to go back to the dark days of infertility. (of course I am extremely blessed to have 3 but somehow I can't turn off the maternal want more bit) The mental comes on very quickly and you start seeing pregnant ladies and babies everywhere you look when you wouldn't normally notice.

Haven't read all the posts but have found some of the comments interesting. We can't get pregnant cos my husband has very low sperm count. No idea why it's got to that as we have a 12 year old who was extremely easily conceived! Could have treatment for it but would have to pay. So just use no protection, pray and wonder if I'll ever 'catch'! There's a very very low chance. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Does your husband smoke or drink heavily? Does he wear uber-tight underwear? Does he eat unhealthily? Drink a lot of caffeine filled products?Ignoring the attempt to sell you pills, have a look at this webpage (and just google "male fertility issues" for a wealth of information):

Hehe, mine definitley was a friend. Being female i dont tend to produce sperm, low or otherwise. Our trouble is that i have twisted tubes, but noting a course of ivf didnt fix. Now somehow ive fallen pregnant naturally with number 3. Just goes to show nothing is impossible. Hope it all works out for you all xxx
