Been trying since December 2018 and still going. Just starting sub-fertility tests :(

12 months 😊 it happened the month I relaxed and pretty much forgot about it as I'd got myself so worked up thinking it would never happen. Currently 19+2 with first baby.

Took me 3 months the first time, but that sadly ended in miscarriage. 2 months after that I got pregnant with the baby that's asleep upstairs. Just trying for number 2, on cycle 2 and already feeling stressed!!

Was on the pill for approximately 15 years, give it a take a few breaks to try other contraception. Stopped taking it in October 2018 and got pregnant 8 months later, due to give birth in the next 2 weeks now. Started to get upset after about 3 or 4 periods as everyone around me kept getting pregnant on the first month of trying, but I think they are the people who happily tell you their story. The ones like me where it takes a few extra months need to speak up more!

Hi there,

I tried to conceive and it happened first go. Just relax and enjoy the ‘trying’ part 😂it will happen just let nature take its course. One random thing I did when I was trying to conceive was lying on the bed with my legs resting up against the wall to let the ‘swimmers’ get to the right please lol 😂 good luck

I've been off the pill since October 2018, but only started properly TTC in January and it happened first go. I try to stay relaxed by going for walks and getting out in the air - I find that really helps. Or meeting with close friends to talk about my worries etc
Good luck! I'm a firm believer things will happen when the time is ready, don't stress xx
