2.5 years first time, 6 months second time, still no living children as both ended in miscarriage unfortunately.

There's only a small chance that it works each month, even if you time everything perfectly, have perfect fertility health etc. It's perfectly normal to take up to a year to conceive and sometimes longer x

3 years and 3 rounds of IVF for first DC

3 months and natural conception for 2nd DC

2 years 10 months and counting 🙃

There is only something like 20% chance of conception every month even when absolutely everything is working perfectly so I wouldn't worry if it hasn't happened in the first month. If still nothing after 6 months you can approach your GP for some initial tests. Here's hoping you won't get that far though 🙏good luck x
