TTC & still not UTD after 30 months

Hi, DH (27) and I (29) have currently been trying for nearly 3 years now and have been given the "unexplained infertility" label by FA. Awaiting public funded IVF in March 2011.

Just wondering how many of you out there that were TTC after 2 1/2 years. Would really love to hear some miracle stories cause at the moment I am feeling pretty down at the fact that I wont be able to conceive naturally before we get IVF. I know miracles can happen but what are the chances of conceiving naturally after not being able to get UTD after so long...............

This journey has just been so hard and Im sure Im not the only one who has had the pain, heartache & dissapointment for over 2 1/2 years

Hi mountaingirl, wow you got UTD just before egg collection! that is amazing. good to know these "miracle" stories do happen. I am really hoping thats the case with us (clomid & IUI didnt work for us either). I really hope that we get UTD before we need IVF, but IVF being last resort I am really hoping it works!

All the best for TTC #2, I really hope your journey isnt as long this time!
The longer we TTC, the more we want a baby and the more we will appreciate one when it finally happens! x

thanks trouble06, we were originally told we wouldnt get IVF till Sept 2011, but now it has been brought forward to March 2011, we are so stoked about that!! Its not far away at all.
Im sorry that IVF is your only chance to conceive but it will all be worth it when you finally get that BFP! Sounds like Aussie is alot better than NZ where 80% of the costs are paid for, thats awesome!
I have been following your progress on the IVF chat thread so I will keep watching your progress over the next few months. All the best for your upcoming IVF cycle x

Hi ScaredyCat, thanks for your post. 7 years! I shouldnt really complain after only TTC 3 years but it is such a rough journey isnt it, just doesnt seem fair at time!

Yes I had the Lipiodol flush done last month, havent noticed too much difference as of yet. My AF did last longer last cycle (it normally only lasts 3 days max but last cycle lasted 4-5 days) but dont know if that had anything to do with it. This will be my 2nd cycle after the flush, the specialist said the 2nd cycle is the most sucessful after the flush so we will see. Im 8DPO now, so will most likely get AF by Sun if she decides to show!

Did you notice any difference after your tubes have been flushed?

Hi Jano1, wow that is amazing! that is the 2nd miracle before egg collection! amazing! thanks for sharing

thats no good scaredycat. I hope the evil AF stays away for you this cycle! Are you doing IVF now or trying naturally?

Hopefully you wont need the emby till next time you wanna get pregnant. hopefully the flush did the trick for you hun. The waiting lists totally SUCK! I hate our "unexplained" label as well, just doesnt seem fair esp for unexplained, why dont we have rights like people with issues to go on the waiting lists sooner.......
I am lucky that we have age on our side but sadly not everyone does.
IUI's could be a go for you while your waiting, you never know it could just work. Sadly we tried 3 IUI's with no sucess.
Thats good that you can actually conceive but devastating if they end up in M/C. I cant even bear to imagine what that is like to deal with. After trying for so long to finally get UTD then having a M/C must just be so heartbreaking. I really feel for you hun.

I ALWAYS wonder what the hell we did to deserve all this too cause it does just seem so unfair. and then I start to think well maybe we are just not meant to be parents, but I actually cant see my life without having kids so I tend not to think that fair ahead cause it actually upsets me quite alot.

Yes our public funded IVF starts in March 2011, I am so excited but nervous and anxious at the same time cause I dont know what to expect. Thank godness for these forums for advice & words of wisdom!!

All the best to you hun, I really hope you get your BFP really soon, you sure deserve one x

You didn't do anything to deserve it, life just sucks sometimes...stupid life.
Unexplained infertility is arse huh, and I don't get why it doesn't allow for the same amount of help as the people who have something wrong with them...it seems really weird...
Good luck to both of you, I would love to see you get your miracle babies BEFORE needing ivf, that would be wonderful.

So sorry to see AF witch found you Tiff8ny, hope your holding up OK, it really does suck doesn't it!

Its not looking good for us either this month, I'm about to ov (Day 13) and DP is crook as a dog, so no BD'ing for us so far ... sigh.

I'm so sorry Tiff8ny, I completely understand where your coming from, sometimes you just need a break from it all, the heartache and the disappointment each month is just so hard to handle - big big 's from me.

I thought I was about to ov and today tested again and line has gone light again, so who knows, DP is so not up to BD'ing so I'm hoping Ov is still a couple of days away, men and their bugs, you would think he was dying!
