TTC and not successful, should we stop trying? I’m frustrated, is there anyone else feeling the same?
My husband and I have been ttc for about 18mths, however, we have not been successful. After about a year, we had infertility tests done and we found out during an HSG test that I have blockage in my tubes. My left tube contains blockage from scar tissue and my right tube is being blocked by a uterine fibroid growing on my uterus wall. My husband’s sperm cannot get to my egg.
Not only is this getting frustrating every month, but it is also getting expensive. Should we just stop? There is a possibility of surgery, ivf, or adoption. Which one should we consider? Anyone else frustrated like me with conceiving?

I am so sorry. I have been TTC for many years and found I have blocked tubes as well. I since lost one due to a tubal pregnancy. For me, a biological child is my first goal. Yes, it is very frustrating on so many levels. I have to say the adoption process is not easy, is very invasive, very expensive, and can take years. If I were in your shoes I would first get that fibroid out. If you have a fibroid there is a great chance an embryo will not implant or that the fibroid could cause a miscarriage. Once the fibroid is gone if the tube opens you can TTC the old fashioned way and hopefully have success. If not, IVF is the way to go. IVF is also less expensive than adoption. It can be an emotional roller coaster, especially when a cycle fails, but know many women have success on their first attempt.
I wish you luck!
my husband and i tried for 2 years when we got prego with our daughter. my periods are irregular…. so i used birth control to get on track and got prego with both of my kids shortly after.
It was medium. I usually have really heavy ones i always have but this one was more medium than heavy.
