TFA Long Haulers (TTC 12+ Months) Chat - October 06, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

A weekly dedicated space for members who have been trying for another for 12 or more months, experiencing infertility. Talk of treatment, testing/diagnosis, or tough feelings are welcome here. While this is a safe space to vent, please consider how other long haulers in different circumstances may feel about your words.

This thread is primarily for current long-haulers to connect with, vent to, and support each other. We ask that anyone else (including TFA grads and those whose current round of TTC has been less than 12 months) participate only to answer questions where your personal experience is relevant - for example, if someone asks about the side effects of a fertility treatment you have tried. For more general support, sympathy, and finger-crossing, in this thread, if you have not currently been trying for at least 12 months, please stick to a quiet upvote.

This thread is not meant to limit discussion only to this thread. Discussion of long haul issues is always welcome in the Daily Chat.

Feeling so frustrated by the logistics of trying to get my antral follicle count scan booked. It needs to occur CD 5-10 and the clinic is often booked a few weeks in advance, but my cycles are irregular enough to not know when that window will be that far out! So I keep making appointments, calling to adjust them once u know when the days will be and then they’re booked and I have to make a guess again for the next cycle.

Well after a long talk with my new nurse we’re doing a medicated FET cycle now (estrogen and then PIO). I feel like I have to trust in the medical team and let go of some of the stresses I hold??

Big hugs. I’m also struggling to trust my care team at this point, after so long without results. But I don’t know what else we can look into, and they seem so convinced we’re on the right track.
