Hello, on/off lurker here, don't really have anyone except DP to talk to about this offline so would love some advice please.
I'm 37, been ttc 2+ years, had 2 mcs, no longer ovulating. No children :(
Got pregnant last summer on 3rd cycle of Clomid, but have now had 3 more unsuccessful cycles. His SA has just been repeated and is fine, my most recent day 21 test (on a clomid cycle) is exactly where it should be. My day 3 test was messed up so I don't have a recent one of those.
My GP now wants to refer us to the Infertility Unit at the hospital but they may not accept us because it's been less than 2 years since my most recent (failed) pg. GP can't prescribe any more Clomid as I've now had 2 x 3 cycles.
Not sure if IVF would help us - it might get me pg but obv sustaining the pg is another issue. Also would be ££££ as I'm too old for NHS treatment and according to their stupid policy haven't been trying for long enough anyway.
I started seeing an acupuncturist and taking Chinese herbs, I've given up coffee and am consciously trying to relax. The acupuncturist's confident that he can get me ovulating again and I think I trust him.
The all-consuming "will I ever had children" panic has set in over the last week and I don't know what to do. I was happy to keep trying the Chinese thing for a few cycles but am I just wasting time? Should we bite the bullet and go private? Will we regret having dismissed IVF? Are there any other things that we should be doing or tests we should push for? Feeling so panicky and confused just now, what would you do?
Sorry for the essay.
