Any takers? I've been trying for six months and finding it confusing and frustrating... Any others in boat?

Yep me on 6th cycle now. Dh been away for a few days so bit worried ill have missed the boat again but have no idea when I ovulate so its pot luck really. Getting a bit frustrated now.
I found taking charge of your fertility in a charity shop for a few quid so I'm half way through hoping it'll help.

Keep going, it took me & DH 10 months before I finally got my bfp. The last month I used zestica gel. Don't know if that was what finally did it, but who knows. I had almost given up, had an appointment at the hospital to check me out, but thankfully didn't need it. Good luck :)

Congrats mama! What the jeff is zestica gel?

Go to boots and take a look. It, erm, is supposed to help sperm on it's way. Not in any way sexy but hey ho, I was giving everything a go by then!

We tried for 6 months, got stressed, decided to give ourselves a month off, went on holiday. Guess what? Smile

I've got that book but haven't started it yet. Looks a bit intimidating... maybe I should try. And thanks for Zestica tip. Congratulations to mama and Iheartking, that's so great.

Thanks - she's getting on for 6 now though! I do remember very well how frustrating and worrying it is. Hope it works out for you, I'm sure it will Smile

Try using the Fertility Friend website, it can help you keep track of things.

6 months is by no means a long time, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. 90% of healthy couples will conceive within 1 year of starting TTC. Personally, we've been TTC for 2.5 years, so you've a long way to go before you catch us up Grin

Definitely understand where you're coming from, we're 6 months in & finding it pretty frustrating!!
Quite glad to know it's not just me!!

The 2ww is so long!!! My house has never been so organised!! Grin anything to keep busy & not think about it. (doesn't stop me thinking about it, but I'm not as bad as I was!!)
