Hi I'm Zoe,

24 years old, mum to two girls and currently on CD1 (period started today boo :( ) on our 10th month of trying to conceive baby number three. Miscarriage in May at 6 weeks.

Been a tough old journey, and actually a pretty lonely one too as no one knows we're trying again!

Looking for some wonderful buddies who are on a similar journey. 😊

@Sunrise321

I was ovulation tracking, got fed up with the pressure and then stopped.
I wish I hadn't now, as I started my period 5 days earlier than usual this month so I missed my fertile window!!

This cycle I'll be starting as soon as AF is finished in a few days 🤣

@tryingforbabyh sounds like you've been on quite the journey already then! We're pretty similar. I have no issues, however my partner has an auto immune disease that 'can' lower his fertility however they can never give us any more on that. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Sunrise321 Ah hello! Welcome to the club 😊 It'll be super nice to share the journey. I think my partners sick of me talking about it!

@happydays89 Hey absolutely! Aw my DD is 21 months. How long were you trying for with her?

Yeah I genuinely thought it would take up to six months at the longest and yet here we are admittedly there's probably been a few not so good months timing wise but still with sex in the fertile week. Had basic blood tests all fine, an ultrasound which was all good and OH sperm is okay too so who knows!! Regular cycles at 27 days give or take a day but I get spotting beforehand so despite blood results I think my progesterone might be slightly low. Am taking so many supplements now to try and help that I'm surprised I don't rattle!! Best friend conceived in cycle 1 it's typical isn't it!!

@tryingforbabyh

Aw bless you hun, it's a real pain isn't it. My girls were an easy conception either so I do know how you feel trying for first baby so long.

Have you had any tests etc? X

Not that similar in that I'm 30 and TTC number one! Been trying for a year and no joy so far sadly despite no issues identified yet! CD5 for me so not too dissimilar to you!
