What finally worked for you guys after years of trying? How did you finally end up conceiving?

Nothing! I am just here to know I’m not the only one.

Same. 😔 Sorry to hear you're in a similar situation. It really is unfair.

5 years ttc for me. I’m only 26. It has taken a huge toll on my mental health. Trying to stay positive. I have unexplained infertility. I know it’ll happen for me one day

Same boat. No answers. Have you had the fertility tests? I just saw a fertility specialist last week, and he ordered about 20 more blood tests. Haven't done them yet cause they are so expensive. According to what I've read about the tests, none seem to explain why I'm not getting pregnant. He told me he wants to know why I had the miscarriage. He seems more concerned with that than the fertility issues.

5 years is long. That's how long I've been on this journey also. It has completely affected me in every way. 😔

Mine is “unexplained” too. Such a helpless feeling. Can’t even try to fix anything without know what’s wrong.

Sorry to hear you're struggling. It beyond sucks. We tried for over three years, but the doctor said the three years didn't count because we weren't doing it enough nor near ovulation. 🤷‍♀️Not sure if that's an acceptable answer, but maybe it was what I wanted to hear?Anyway, the first month that we then tried around ovulation, I got pregnant.Sadly, I miscarried.That was 9 months ago.Now every month we try around ovulation and nothing.I've done the basic tests and all are normal.I'm not sure what's left.One minute I tell myself we just need to be patient and keep trying.The next minute my mind is racing and panicking that it'll never happen.I don't know what to do.

Thanks for the tips. I did the CD 21 progesterone test which showed I'm ovulating. 🤷‍♀️ I know something must be wrong, but it's not been found yet, unfortunately. I'm planning to see a new doctor this month when I get my period. "When" cause I know I'll get it. I always get it. It's never my turn. 😔

Just keep in mind that you can have regular periods without ovulating. BBT is the only way to confirm ovulation at home (OPKs don't confirm ovulation either).

Thanks for the suggestion. I might start using them. Our doctor said to dtd a few times a week, so we cover all our bases. We have been taking his advice. I don't think we're missing it cause my period is pretty consistent.

We tried for 3 years, starting at 22. Took my dr forever to refer to a reproductive endocrinologist as we were young so he didn't see it as a big deal 🙄 got diagnosed with lean PCOS but still ovulate so 🤷🏻‍♀️. Did 3 monitored cycles, a few monitored with meds, 4 iuis. Took a break for 2 cycles cuz I was so stressed and getting depressed. Took a test while waiting for my cycle to start so we could do iui #5, and I was pregnant! She's 3 now, had a 1.5 year old brother and I'm expecting again. It's like she reset my body because I have had no problems since. It's super strange

Ladies, have you checked your man's sperm quality, count and motility? I can't conceive just because of this. 😢 Anyone with same situation?
