10th Month TTC..anyone else in a similar boat?

Hi everyone,

I am trying hard not to catatrophise here but 10th month of actively TTC and nothing. I have been tracking ovulation and doing all I can but I’ve had no luck. Friend after friend announcing pregnancies and I’m getting increasingly panicked and down about it all. Is 10 months normal? Or is it likely to point in the direction of a problem?

thanks everyone x

Hi @IslaO - if it's your first baby, I'd consider getting some tests done sooner rather than later, if only for peace of mind. That's for both you and your partner. X

I am on month 15 I'm 36. I had a mmc in March so thought it would happen pretty soon. This past 5 weeks I've been seeing a Chinese fertility accuapture therapist. It took a few weeks to settle in and to get my blood flow right but my period came a week early then the following week I ovulated he brought the period on by placing needles in certain places.
Im on 4dpo. He says my body is ready so hoping for a bfp in the next few months. I have other kids so it's harder to dtd when they are off in the summer. It's mentally draining but have invested so much time and money into this now. Hope we all get a bfp soon.

I'm on month 11 but had an early miscarriage two months ago so I guess I'm back to square one in terms of waiting for investigations which is really frustrating me. My GP seems totally nonplussed.

I have been TTC for 10 months to and nothing. I got my implant taken out September 21 and the nurse did tell me it is pot luck some people are super fertile straight away and some take a while to get their cycle back to normal etc. No real advice just to let you know you’re not alone ..

Oh the symptom spotting is devastating. My usual one is getting spotting two days before AF, grieving not being pregnant, then changing my mind and spending two days googling implantation bleeding and getting all hopeful then grieving again 😣I don't have much hope for this cycle either, just starting my fertile window now but we're preparing to move house and AF is due on our moving date! Ridiculous timing!

@tingalayo thanks for getting back to me! It’s so helpful to hear stories of people in the same boat. Makes me feel like I’m not the only one!! I’m only 2dpo now and to be honest, just don’t have much hope for this cycle at all. Getting so used to symptom spotting and then af arriving like a slap in the face! Where are you in your cycle? X

I'm on my 11th month, sorry you're going through this too! I conceived my daughter on the 9th month so I always expected it would take a while, but now it's taking longer than it took the first time I'm getting worried. There are plenty of stories of people conceiving in just under a year (my mum took 11 months to get pregnant with me for example) and I'm always on the lookout to hear some more! I'm mentally preparing myself to go to my GP in two months asking for fertility investigations though. I hope this is our lucky month! Where are you in your cycle? x
