Is it me or does number 2 seem to take longer to conceive?

I’m also on cycle 5. Also conceived my DD first try. Wishing I started trying earlier. Age 34. Really trying to convince myself each cycle is another go and fresh start but really hard. Starting to beat myself up about it and wishing I started trying earlier. How do you stay positive?

Same here, DD conceived first cycle, currently on cycle 5 of properly 'trying' but have been NTNP since Sept 2017. Managed to convince myself that NTNP doesn't coun when you have a toddler (because realistically how regularly do you spontaneously DTD at this point?!?), but getting a bit twitchy as I approach the 6 month mark of officially trying as I know that's the point at which most couples have conceived by. Also running out 'fixes' such as timing of sex, OPKs, supplements etc and starting to resign myself to the reality that it is basically luck of the draw.
