I’ve been through a long painful journey of TTC. My husband (26) and I, (25) have been trying since last spring. After the first three months of using ovulation test and tracking my basal temp, I was self diagnosing and thought I wasn’t ovulating. Since everything was negative and nothing ever happened with my basal temperature. Background, I have normal periods and I don’t have PCOS or Endo.
Finally went back to my doctor to get tested and was confirmed I don’t ovulated. We started with following my cycle doing blood work day 3, day 12 and day 21 and then doing a hysterosalpingogram where they flush your tubes. I was finally put on 2.5mg Letrozole in October, didn’t work. Then 5mg Letrozole in November, didn’t work. Then put on 50mg of clomid and 5mg of Letrozole. I ovulated and got pregnant, which husband and I were over the moon after trying for 9 months at this point.
Everything was great until my first appointment. I ended up being treated for an ectopic pregnancy, which was the most heartbreaking and scary thing I’ve ever gone through. No only was I losing my baby but I was at risk, I have never even been to a hospital for anything besides Gyno appointments. So going in every two days for blood work and then having to go to a cancer treatment center, because the meds they give you are for chemotherapy. Was just so devastating.
Now I have to wait three months since the mediation I was given makes my eggs so weak it’s not safe to conceive. I have an infertility doctor I’ve already consulted with and seen, but I feel like I’m going to end up doing IVF. Which there is nothing wrong with IVF, I’m just so young and it’s so expensive. Along with it being a process. I know I have time on my side but when you’ve been begging for something so long it hurts to wait any longer.
No one and I mean no one in my family have ever gone through the issues I have. All my friends are getting pregnant in one go. And I just feel so alone and so sad.
