TTC - month 8

I’m in my early thirties and me and my partner decided to try for a baby so I can off the pill in November, now in May we are still TTC. All of my friends fell pregnant really easy and now I’m starting to worry. I haven’t got anyone to talk to about this and it’s really starting to get me down. I track ovulation and BBT monthly and ovulate with all the signs each month - hopefully someone has been in my shoes or is in the same boat and we can support each other
thanks for reading x

Just some recommendations, the month I used SMEP and the clear blue ovulation monitor I got pregnant. No idea which one it was or a combo of both but I ovulated earlier than I thought I was at CD12/13 x
