Been over a year and I haven't been successful. Both of us are 25 and healthy, no known health problems. Can I have some happy stories please?

My friends tried for a few years actually! Then had a miscarriage :( Then a baby, then another, then another :) They are 6.5, 5, and 3 now.

We tried for over a year. Nothing was happening. I decided to leave my shitty job and take a less stressful one. Found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after handing notice in. DTD literally ONCE that month. I was devastated, shocked and amazed all at once! Financially it has been tough but no regrets.

Hi. We tried for just over a year, very organised about it, husband checked his sperm count etc. No miscarriages, just no pregnancy. Fell pregnant on holiday in 13th month.

Word of warning though,I assumed it would take that long with second one so didn't use protection. Fell pregnant second time we had sex and ended up with two kids under two!

Ttc 5 years. One mc. Tried several months of clomid. Then something I injected into myself (imagine, I can't even remember the name now and ttc consumed my life at one point). Nothing worked. We had got to the point where we realised that our grief and frustration was having a negative effect on our 7 year old so were working on accepting just having one child. I went on holiday with friends and for the first time in years didn't want to get pregnant as I wanted to drink & eat whatever I wanted. I got pregnant the night before I went on holiday (of course I didn't find out til weeks later). So many said to me oh you just had to take your mind off ttc but as you know that is impossible. Whatever it was I have a beautiful 8 year old now, and despite the big age gap the two dc get on well.

Took us three years to conceive our first. We had lots of tests and were waiting for treatment but she was conceived naturally.

DC2 was conceived in month two of trying!

I have a happy story. Tried to conceive for 2 years. Both healthy with no health problems. Started to get very frustrated why this wasn't happening, after that started to give up on the thought of ever getting pregnant and then it just happened. Healthy baby conceived naturally Smile
