I felt exactly the same by cycle 8, and then a friend knocked some sense into me and I decided that I needed to stop worrying about it and just relax and enjoy the ttc journey. Got BFP in cycle 9. Good luck!

Are you TTC naturally or with help? It is perfectly normal for these things to take a while but I don't think it would do any harm to go for some basic free tests through your GP to check your general fertility status. You might have to exaggerate how long you have been trying to get referred but I'd definitely rather know sooner than later if I was heading into premature ovarian decline or something like that.

From my experience it takes ages to get the GP referral and then get the tests done and then get the results back and reviewed. Months and months in fact. So even if you requested testing now you might not have gone through the whole process until you had been trying for a year, by which point you'd probably be looking for some answers.

You will probably be 3 or 4 months pregnant by then so it will be unnecessary. Good luck with everything

Thanks, been TTC naturally I think I have been Relaxed up until now just taking each month as it comes but I think with conceiving ds at 8 cycle it's making me more aware of everything.

If things don't happen in the next couple of months I will another going to docs.

I've been TTC #2 for 9 months & had all the required testing. Due to my age the consultant has recommended IVF as I'm 39 years old :)

Best of luck in keeping hope for a bfp, I've given up now even though we DTD at the required times.
