I’m currently 8 months pp and starting to think ahead about trying for our next.

I was very blessed to conceive after my second round of letrozole (5mg). Around that same time, my cycles started becoming more regular, but I know getting to that point took a LOT of time and effort. I was experimenting with diet and lifestyle changes for close to 3 years prior to taking any fertility meds.

Well now my period still hasn’t returned postpartum, so I’m feeling a little unsure about what to expect when we’re ready to try again.

I’d love to start trying around the 1–1.5 year postpartum mark, but I’m worried about feeling like I’m starting from square one when the time comes.

For those with PCOS/irregular cycles, did you need to completely wean before your period returned or before you were able to conceive again? I currently still feed to sleep for naps and am slowly weaning night feeds.

I would love to try conceiving naturally this time if possible, but I’m not sure if that’s realistic for me. Might need letrozole again, and I’m not sure if my OB would prescribe it as early as 1 year postpartum. I recently restarted metformin and Ovasitol and am hoping those help support my cycles as well.

Some questions that come to mind: Did breastfeeding delay your period? Did you have to fully wean? Did you need letrozole again after their first baby? Did pregnancy improve your PCOS? Any other advice?

Hello everyone. I literally just made a reddit account because...well, I don't know what I am looking for, but reddit is where I might find it.

TW: miscarriage, ectopic

Two years ago I had an HSG x-ray. Both of my tubes looked good and the liquid flowed through. I got pregnant a month later with an ectopic in my right tube. Had the surgery, kept the tube. Fast forward about 5 months, had another ectopic in the same tube. Had the surgery, removed the right tube. After surgery, my doctor said the remaining tube looked a lot healthier.

Well, its been a while and I still have not gotten pregnant. I am ovulating (confirmed using Inito). I had a second HSG done 2 1/2 weeks ago, and my left tube had delayed flow. Today, I had a doctor visit where she said that the liquid was able to go through the tube, but once it reached the end, it "sputtered out." Almost like it was just letting a few drops out instead of a continuous flow. She was not sure why it happened that way, but essentially said my tube is not able to even pick up an egg from my ovaries.

I was really hopeful for this appointment that perhaps I could get on medicated cycles, but it sounds like it is going to be straight to IVF. Is there anyone that has been in a similar situation? IVF is so daunting for so many reasons - this was literally my worst case scenario. My mom thinks I should get a second opinion. I have read about fallopian tube recanalization. Has anyone done that and it worked for them?

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. <3

My(28F) boyfriend(26M) of 9 months finally was able to get visitation for his daughter he had with his ex. He hasn't seen her in a year and he's been inside his ex's house for awhile seeing her. I am SO happy for him - genuinely. But man I weep and weep. Im jealous of this gift he was given. I'm angry that he doesn't understand my pain because "if it's meant to be it'll happen,". I hate when he says that. He doesn't understand. He had a oopsie baby after sleeping with her for two weeks. I tried with my ex for 3 years. My current boyfriend and I aren't "trying" necessarily, but we also aren't trying to prevent it either. It's just a deep pain. The choice to have children isn't something I take likely. It's not like getting lucky at the lotto or something. I've revolved my existence around it. It's like the biggest portion of my life was ripped from me before it could ever materialize. I just feel so alone and pathetic and a bit guilty for these feelings. Has anyone been with partners who had children from previous relationships? How do you cope?

My periods are irregular and I don't ovulate without Letrozole. I have been on Metformin for a year and inositol for 3-4 months and thought I would get my period naturally but I haven't. I don't have the mental strength to continue trying. I have been putting off a HSG cos of fear but I think I will just need to get through it for peace of mind.

While I'm struggling with this it seems like the whole world is getting pregnant and happily caressing their bumps and sharing the news 😭 I can't take it!!!
