9 months TTC and absolutely nothing

AF arrived today and feeling especially hopeless. I've reached 9 months TTC now. Can't help thinking that if I had gotten pregnant the first month I'd be about to give birth about now.

Feeling very low today. The 12 month mark is looming and I never thought I would still be here. 😔 Anyone in a similar position? I'm TTC#1. Never even seen a shadow on a pregnancy test and I'm 25 with no known health/reproductive issues.

I'm on my 9th month too. 2 possible chemicals but so faint it's hard to say. It sucks right! My first due date would have been 5 days ago. At the time I was absolutely convinced I'd probably be pregnant and worried about having a baby so close to Xmas if it took another month of TTC. Hmm Now I'm wondering how much money I'll need for IVF

Hi,
I know how hard it is every month af coming. I tried for about 15 months before getting my bfp and it really was the month I relaxed because I had my lap operation booked in so I thought screw it! Hang in there, don't lose hope it will happen x

So sorry to hear that guys @acaciabluebell@mrsrichy.

I've not got any advice either but can totally relate. Came off the depot a year ago, 1st period took 8 months to arrive, now 3 months later im anxiously waiting whether AF will make an appearance next week or not...

Been doing loads of tests despite knowing that even if successful it probably wouldn't show up yet.. its so tough! Fingers crossed for both of you. Maybe we could keep each other same on here?

I feel like so many of my friends have recently announced that they are expecting and OH and me have agreed that we wouldn't share with folk that we are trying to take the pressure off so don't have anyone IRL to talk to...

Hey, I don't have any advice (I really wish I did) but I'm in a very similar boat. I'm on my 8th cycle of actively TTC and have a feeling I'm out this month.

It's so tough and I've found it so difficult especially with all of the pregnancy announcements at the moment.

I know it's easier said that done, but I'm really trying my best to keep myself busy and try to put it to the back of my mind and remain as positive as possible. I say this after having done about 6 tests in 3 days..!

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself and be kind to yourself. Sending you lots of love x
