Anyone else TTC in their early/mid 20s?

Hi everyone. As the title suggests I'm wondering if there are any girls here who are TTC in their early-mid 20s? I know there are 35+ and 40+ TTC clubs out there but I haven't seen one for those of us who are younger.

I'm 24 and have been TTC for 4/5 months now with no success so far. I have to admit that I never thought it would take us this long! I have a few friends around my age who all fell pregnant by accident or on their first try.

Everyone makes it seem like you are super super fertile when you're younger so I sometimes feel like my body is failing me somehow. Plus my partner and I have a very active sex life naturally so we are definitely giving it our best shot! My cycles are pretty regular and normal too.

Would love to hear from other girls in a similar age range who are going through TTC 😊

Yay I'm happy to see your replies girls, happy to see others of a similar age! 😊

@Jaja92 oh wow 11 years!! Haha I imagine your body will take a little time to readjust but hopefully not too long. I've actually never been on hormonal birth control, just condoms etc. Hopefully you'll get your BFP in no time 😄

@Nam095 it's so hard isn't it! I've also had months where I've gone crazy with OPKs, and months where I've not done anything and just 'gone with the flow' and neither has worked so far 😂 I don't know which is better for me. I try to be chill and everything but when I enter the TWW I always go a bit mad with symptom spotting etc. I'm loving your positivity btw! Good luck for this cycle 💪 I'm currently on my period so will start my 5th cycle soon.

@confusedcoco So so sorry to hear about your chemical. Hopefully next month will bring better news for both of us 💕

Are you girls taking any vitamins etc or supplements?

Hey @acaciabluebell 💓

I'm 23, we are TTC our first baby!

I had my nexplanon implant removed early August, AF came a moth to the date of removal and we tried to conceive straight away. unfortunately after getting my BFP, I began to bleed and am currently going through a chemical pregnancy 💔

They definitely make out as though it's easier to conceive when younger, don't they!!

Hope we all get a lovely BFP super soon 💕🙏

I’m 25 and I’m now on my 4th month TTC. I feel exactly the same as you, thought as I’m young it shouldn’t take that long. Feeling a bit more disappointed each month that passes by when I get AF, but I know it will happen eventually. I’ll be ovulating again in about 5 days, I’m hoping that this is finally my month. I’m a lot more relaxed this month as well, I was a bit psycho to start with with all the OPKs etc 😅 so hopefully that will make a positive impact too.

Fingers crossed for us that we get our BFP soon 🤞🏼

@acaciabluebell

I'm 27 - just hanging onto my mid twenties! 😂 Onto my second cycle TTC #1
Not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed when it didn't happen right away but I had my implant removed in August after being on hormonal birth control for over 11 years so I expect to be trying for a little while yet!
