Losing Hope

My DH and I have been TTC since 4-13-12, I am 24 and my DH is 32 and has a LO from a previous relationship. I'm losing hope that I may never have a LO of my own. Don't get me wrong my DH LO is my world but as a woman I feel incomplete. I've always wanted a family and my DH and I waited till we were married to TTC.

DH and I recently have become more active and healthy to try and make TTC easier.

I had no prior knowledge that TTC was so hard, it never crossed my mind. All i thought was you'd DTD and poof your PG.

I've recently started OPK, 01-21-16 I got a positive reading and today I am 15dpo and AF is 1 day late, I've been late before so i try not to get my hopes up and am waiting before I do HPT.

As some woman read this I apologize if I offend anyone, most TTC couples laugh because I am only 24 and see me as having many more years before I should be concerned with TTC.

But my DH and I are ready.

I'am just at a wall on how to stay positive.

This whole ttc process is horrid! Especially for those of us battling infertility. Give yourself some purpose to help keep from feeling so helpless and hopelesss! Do some research, and start writing questions down about your cycles and taking notes.

What fertility testing have you had thus far?

Thank yall. Its tough at times to stay positive. I use clear blue advane digital ovulation test.

Ive just recently tried opk with lmp.

Usually i would just track O by my counting my cy, had no results so decided to give opk a try.

So far i am just waiting for af or bfp. I dont do early test anymore due to all the bfn.

As far as fertility test with my gyno. He says i have cyst in my fallopian tubes.

Right now i am 15dpo and af is supposed to start today.

If your circumstances allow, I would highly suggest seeing a RE, (Fertility specialist ). A cyst in your fallopian tubes would greatly hinder your conceiving, and efforts to shrink it need to be made. (I.e for the months in which you have a dominant follicle on that side with the cyst, you probably won't conceive. In addition, you need a myriad of blood work and a HSG performed to confirm you have patent tubes, etc. If one is blocked by a cyst, and the other could be for numerous reasons, that could be contributing to why you having conceived in 4+yrs.
Also, your spouse needs a SA to rule out potential issues even though he has a child before. Sperm "batches" are regenerated every 3months+/-,. Hopefully you dont put it off too long like we did, 6+yrs. And boy are we in a shit storm now in our mid 30's! Gl hun!
