Title says it all really, I just wanted a moan.
Everyone I know seems to be pregnant or had babies. It's not fair

And to make it worse AF is being a bitch and is currently two days late but POAS and it's negative

Seems like AF is arriving today. At least we can start trying for this month again

Hi Fatima!

I know it is just soooo unfair. I've been trying for 18 months now with only an mc in the middle for some variety. It's rubbish. Particularly as there are pregnant people everywhere at work and it seems that someone is going off on maternity leave almost every other bloody day.

Have you been to see your gp for tests. As you are over a year now you should be able to get some tests and such like done just to see if there is a problem that might be easily resolved.

Take care of yourself :)

I was wondering whether it would be worth seeing my GP.

I came off my pill mid/late may 2010 with the view of not trying but not preventing. I got married sept 2010 and though I could handle being less than 16 weeks pregnant if I was lucky for it to happen straight away.

But nothing and it's hard not to get caught up in it and not to get disappointed every month.

This month I was 3 days late, 3 months ago I was 6 days late but both BFNs

I might book an appointment

You are not alone fatima, there are lots of us in the TTC 6months plus thread who have been trying for a year and over. Feel free to join us on that thread if you want to chat to others who know what it is like to be waiting and waiting and waiting.

I would urge you to go and see your GP, I saw my Doctor last month and it turns out that my DH has a very low sperm count. We never suspected this and it was a shock but at least we know now and are not still waiting every month to see if I get a BFP. If we hadn't seen a doctor we would be still trying in another year from now!

I'm coming up to a year. I'm feeling the same. EVERYONE seems to be pregnant right now. I feel your pain. I've been to the docs and they're going to do tests. Everything just takes so long though, and we're not getting any younger!

I'm going to ring the doctors tomorrow (we can only book appointments on the day) and see if I can get in.

I'm still in my twenties so I know people will say I've plenty of years left in me, but if theres a problem I'd rather know. Also, DH is 10 years old than me.

I think I'll come join the 6month plus thread
