Looking for fellow long haulers! Been casually TTC for 2 years now, and now taking it a bit more seriously. Share your stories and where you are in your cycle now 😊

@CrazyKJ welcome! I'm also ttc #2. First baby took almost 4 years and one round of IVF which we luckily had NHS funded. Atm we can't afford private so we are doing what we can naturally. I am so sorry to hear that you have had losses, that must have been difficult to go through. Fingers crossed that this is your month🤞

@DreamingSwan welcome! Sorry that you're on this horrible rollercoaster of infertility but happy for you that you are starting IVF soon. I know the feeling of wanting that miracle BFP before starting IVF 😂 didn't happen for me but hoping it does for you lol. Are you going to be doing standard IVF or ICSI?

@MadeWithL0ve welcome, so sorry you've been in this journey for the long haul and sorry to hear about your ectopics. Are you TTC naturally or doing treatment?

Hi! TTC baby 1 around 18 months, currently coming towards the end of cycle 20. I’m expecting AF somewhere around the 3rd-5th Jan. We are due to begin IVF as soon as my period comes in late Jan/early Feb so almost done naturally trying and I feel very anxious.
I am 33 and a half and terrified it’s never going to happen.

Morning, we've been ttc #2 for around 18 months. Already have a 3.5y DS. Took around a year to conceive pregnancy number 2 and then had 2 losses within 6 months. This is our first month back ttc since our loss in November. AF is due around the 5th Jan so just waiting for that so we can get busy lol X
