Hello, Meredith. Welcome to the forum. I am also a newbie here on the forum, and have been loving it so far. SO, you are 33, which is a good age to get pregnant. I see you had been on the pills till April. As you might, or not know, pills mess up your cycles. The same happened to me last year. I had been on contraceptives for months, and then I ended up with irregular ovulation. Yes, you sure can try for a year. That is what I think you should do. Correcting your cycles will surely take time. The process will also call for patience. What meds have you been prescribed. I think mostly you are put on some meds.

I know how you might feel right now! Just try to take it easy. It is very easy to feel down during TTC. I had been trying for 4 years with no result. So, I feel like I need to go with IVF. However, in your case, you should keep trying. I wish you the best of luck.

There was a time that I felt that way too. It just consumes you. You no longer enjoy sex. You feel like this time round I should be pregnant. Bit you need to relax. You are just from using pills. That means your body may take long to adjust. This differs from one person to another. So on average you should give it a year. Then thereafter you can start seeking for help. You might be worrying of things that are not that serious after all. Calm down and focus to get yourself first. When your cycle returns back to normal. Then is when you can start the timed sex. But for now your body is still trying to adjust. And if you have irregular cycle. That means you should take longer to study them. Then half of those days will be your ovulation period. You then start the wait. But for the time being. Let TTC consume you that much. Enjoy sex as they way you used to at first.

Don’t feel this way you are not responsible for your infertility.
Read my story of infertility too.We moved from Japan to Europe for surrogacy. Surrogacy is totally ban in Japan.So we moved to Europe.I had hysterectomy cancer and as a result i’m infertile.But my husband never left my side.He asked me to go for surrogacy.And we moved to Europe only for it.But in Europe we were not much satisfied with the clinics,And some one told me to go for Ukraine there are many good clinics there.So we moved to Ukraine.Now we are having twin daughters from the help of the clinic.The surrogate mother is too kind with us.God gave us two daughters as a gift to our patience, We are very thankful to everyone.
If someone has some experience in Surrogacy let us know.
Share your story with us too.

Hello, Meredith. How are you doing? I think your doctor is right. Rushing in situations like these is not a very good idea. I think you should keep trying for you while. You can ask your doctor to give you fertility meds during this. Maybe that could work for you. If you still can’t conceive with it, you can try other options. Maybe IVF could work for you. It is being done in Ukraine at a very affordable price nowadays. Their services are amazing. I went to Ukraine to have a baby through surrogacy. I was so satisfied with them. They gave me the most precious thing I have in my life right now. I really want your struggle to end. Trust me, I understand what you are going through. Just stay hopeful. Good luck.

Honey, your doctor is right. At least wait for a year before getting upset. These things do take time. It depends on an individual.Some couples can conceive immediately. While others have to wait years.I’d suggest just wait for few more months. Meanwhile, keep track of your ovulation days. Try on each ovulation day.You never know when luck hits you. If after few months you can not get pregnant still. Then go for alternatives, consult another doctor regarding fertility. Consider his advice. There is nothing to worry about when we have so many amazing treatments like IVF and surrogacy that can help you out. Loads of positivity and baby dust your way.

There are possible early warning signs of infertility. There are also risk factors. Things that make it more likely you may have difficulty getting pregnant. While many couples will have no signs or symptoms. If you do have any, you should talk to your doctor sooner than later. Infertility is defined by how long you have been trying to conceive unsuccessfully. If you have been trying for one year without success—or for six months. If you’re age 35 or older—then your doctor will diagnose you as being infertile. If you don’t get pregnant after one year of trying. You should see your doctor. If you’re 35 years old or older. Then you should see your doctor after six months of trying. However, what if you have a possible sign of infertility before the one-year mark? What if you’re at risk for infertility? In that case, talk to your doctor now. Your doctor can run some basic fertility tests. If everything comes back normal. You can continue trying on your own for a while longer. However, if there is a problem, you will have caught it much sooner. And your odds of successful fertility treatment will be higher.

I’m 43 i can’t have a baby from my own womb now.
As i’m going to be married again.My husband will definitely want a baby from me.But i know all the complications of getting pregnant as i previously had many complications while getting pregnant.
So i decided to go for surrogacy.
I also had contacted a clinic too.
Soon they will issue my dates of meeting with them.
I’m so happy that finally i’ll have a baby.
