I am really at my witt's end trying to get pregnant again:confused: I had lots of tests a couple of years ago I have been told that my left tube is blocked and that I only have a 50/50 chance of catching every other month I have had two miscarriages but I have a beautiful little boy who is now 4 :) I have been trying now for a year and a half and its really getting to me as every where I go there are bumps:( my step daughter has just found out she is pregnant and a couple of the mums that take there kids to my sons school have just found out they are also expecting I just feel so useless and sad:( I worry that the miscarriage I had march 2006 has damaged me and maybe made me infertile! :mad: has any one else experienced this :confused:

I'm sorry you feel so sad right now, but you're not useless! It may be time for another check-up, dear.

I agree with LearningasIgo, you should probably get back in for another checkup. You shouldn't feel useless, or hopeless. It may just be taking a bit longer for you. Try not to be discouraged and remember that it can take healthy couples with no fertility problems whatsoever up to a year or more to get pregnant. I'm sorry it's been so difficult for you, and that you've had so many trials and tribulations. Try to keep your head up and know that we are all in your corner. Keep trying, stop stessing, see your doctor, and most importantly... have fun!

Thank you so very much for you kind words.
The last time I went to the fertility clinic I had just had the miscarriage and they told me that I no longer need any tests it was obvious that I could get pregnant.
So I guess I'll give it a bit more time and if I get no joy by the end of the year I will see if they will investigate again. Its just so frustrating and heart breaking when that time of the month comes around and still nothing.
I guess in a way I am one of the lucky ones I have my son there are people out there who can't have children who want them so much its them my heart goes out to.

I completely understand your frustration. My sister in law has had a lot of fertility problems. She has a 10 year old daughter and a two year old daughter, but had three miscarriages in between. She lost the first at 17 weeks, the second at 19 weeks and had to deliver the baby, and the third at 6 weeks. They were able to do an autopsy on the second and found that she had endometriosis and killer embryo cells. They did surgery to correct the endometriosis, but the killer embryo cells attack only males. She cannot have any boys. Then of course she is high risk throughout pregnancy, and with her 2nd daughter she was enduced at 34 weeks. Even though the doctors originally told her she probably wouldn't be able to have any more children she was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl. Don't lose hope, and try not to stress over getting pregnant. More often than not you will get pregnant when you stop trying. I know it is very difficult to "stop" and just let it happen, but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Everything happens for a reason. Hopefully you will conceive naturally. If I were you I would seek another fertility specialist for a second opinion!

Hi every one just keeping you updated still no joy on the pregnancy front we have really been trying this month but as I said I have a blocked tube and I don't know what side I ovulated from I think I can only get pregnant from the right side so it's a real pain I bought a load of ovulation tests and 10 extra early pregnancy tests the ovulation tests came posative on my 14th day but me being me not being able to wait have used the pregnancy tests already all negative but I'm not due to start for another 10 days (sigh):( I just presumed with the tests being ultra early they would show! I think I'm getting my hopes up far too much its so hard and frustrating:mad: will keep you updated if any good news:)

I think I got my hopes up when the ovulation tests came posative I thought I must be ovulating from my good side for it to show but I was wrong I rang the fertility clinic to ask there advice they told me that it didn't matter that I had problems with the left tube it still ovulates but the sperm can't get to it so the test will come posative regardless:confused: to be honest I'm not sure if the tube is actually blocked I had a scan and they said that I had a fluid build up on the left ovary and a cyst on it they said the next step was to give me a laporscopy to see what was actually happening and if it was blocked but they wanted me to lose around three-four stone as I had a risk of the camera perforating my bowel but they said it was obvious I could get pregnant so they didn't see the point in putting me through the camera so I don't know if the tube is definitely blocked:confused:
