Shamelessly posting in aibu, I know I'm not being unreasonable to ask but PLEASE tell me what finally helped you get pregnant?

A period of stress being over. And a bottle of Chardonnay.

i actually was really ill, something with my stomach being investigated I ended up on a high fibre low fat diet lost 2:5 stone. I wasn’t big maybe a 12-14 about 12.5 stone anyway as I cut out alcohol completely during this time and caffeine. Stopped trying, I was in pain a lot and exhausted. So then one weekend randomly I felt better, we DTD right after my period no testing ovulation etc just very random and then BOOM. I’d had two losses 2 years prior to this and it was 2 years later it happened, she is now 18 months and snoring next me.
The bonus was whatever was wrong with me went away, I believe she fixed me 💯
so who knows, was it the diet or no alcohol or was it that I just stopped thinking about it 🤷🏼‍♀️ (people say likely the latter)
sending love to you 💐

I hate hate hate this answer but, having been trying for over two years, went on holiday with the thought that maybe we ought to stop trying and embrace being a family of 3.

came back pregnant.

sorry. The “relax and stop thinking about it” brigade are/were so annoying. We had also made tentative plans for a big holiday the next year. Never happened

had previously spent over a year trying for DC1.

and we skip over the accidental conception of DC3 later

I hope you get where you need to be xxx
