Good question-intertested in any replies as well. We have been trying for number 2 now for 2 years, seeing the Doc Monday for referal which I have been putting off. Have had a look into the points system and I hope I turn out to be wrong but looks like there is no way we'd get public $-undiagnosed infertility, my age and already have one child. Do they ever fund further investigations (eg Lap) even if not elidgable for treatment? Just suspect endo could be a problem as both my sisters had it and was talking to an aunt who tried for years for a 3rd baby that never arrived and they later found extensive endo.
Big bugs to all on the ttc journey xx

No simple way as far as I am aware! To confirm it and remove it they need to do a laparoscopy. I suspect it because of having strong sporadic AF-like cramps most of my LP, particularly after going to the toilet. It's so random though. Some months I have to take time off work, but there have been a couple of months where I was fine. I think maybe I didn't ovulate those times.

Hope to find out one way or another soon! 

I had to self-refer and pay $$$ for private appts. This doc referred me to public waiting list for lap, but I got a letter saying they would not be offering surgery because I'm not a high enough priority. Then I got another letter offering me an appt at the hospital so not sure why that has come about. Private doc said it would be a waste of time (???) I'd rather go and find out myself.

Didn't think to bother with medical insurance and now I'm kicking myself because it would be considered pre-existing.

DD was conceived on honeymoon, first time we tried.   Trying for #2 has been a completely different story.   TTC for 5 yrs, 4 m/c and 7 unsuccessful IVF rounds. We recently decided not to carry on with IVF and instead are going to try naturally for the rest of the year and hope that a miracle happens!

Take care everyone, this period of our lives has been extremely taxing both emotionally, physically and in our case financially.]]> Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:29:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43128&PID=5832248&title=how-long-have-you-been-ttc#5832248 <![CDATA[How long have you been ttc? : We have been TTC #2 since Oct...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43128&PID=5832247&title=how-long-have-you-been-ttc#5832247 Author: Baby V

Hello all,
We've been trying since Aug 11 with a (miserable) 8mth break from it after our 2nd MC in Mar 12 till we brought our donor back to NZ in Oct 12. We've tried every month since to no avail which is pretty frustrating after 2 BFPs out of 4.5 tries last time he was here. (the .5 is when we tried 14 days after the first MC). But this time we've just had 2 triphasic charts and 2 lots of implantation bleeding and 2 late periods, but no BFPs dammit!
Our donor looks to be leaving on the 1st April, so this will be our last try for the foreseeable future.
So please send us your best, best, best vibes for this TWW. ]]> Sat, 23 Mar 2013 09:43:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43128&PID=5830230&title=how-long-have-you-been-ttc#5830230 <![CDATA[How long have you been ttc? : We&#039;re in our first month...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43128&PID=5829774&title=how-long-have-you-been-ttc#5829774 Author: Kalimirella

We're in our first month of trying for number 3. Its the first child we've been officially trying for. No. 1 was unexpected, no. 2 was planned but we were at the not trying/not preventing stage of planning her when I got pregnant. Heres hoping things continue as smoothly.

Lovely to hear from you all. My DD is now 14 and I had her quite young so I have been trying not to get pregnant since and now trying to for 3 years just seems unfair! Getting a HSG next week as an ultra sound picked up a possible issue. An answer of some kind would be helpful.
