I'm getting so fed up

[Fruityb]

I've tracked my cycles since coming off the pill. I've averaged 25 days and had that "ooh is this it" feeling two months ago when I was a week late. I'm never late, and as if to further piss me off I've come on a day early this month!!!

I feel like this is never going to happen and I'm getting so frustrated that even with doing everything 'right' I'm still not there. I think I was very naive when I came into this thinking it'd be easy and I'd be pregnant within six months. We've been trying since November when I came off the pill, and I know it takes time for normality to be restored... my periods didn't want to wait that long!

I know it's been as long as some people have been trying and I'm probably just hormonal and grumpy but I needed to get this out of my system. I'm just getting so disheartened every time I get my period, it's like being back to square one every 26 days.

I just want this so much. My OH is very laid back and it'll happen when it happens type thing, whereas I'm just screaming inside.

Sorry to moan so much I just had to write this down somewhere. And apologies for any random errors or full stops in places, my new phone has a pretty warped auto correct....

NOT been as long it should say there...

Crappy is t it? I've been trying for dc3 for 20 months now, my cycles are just 21 days, so the disappointment comes round so often

May I suggest acupuncture/Chinese medicine? I got pregnant on month 8 after losing patience and deciding something had to change. I had been doing everything right since coming off the pill and was getting nowhere so I went and had a consultation at my local Chinese medic centre.

They prescribed me a herbal tea, herbal tablets and acupuncture twice a week. It may have all been nonsense or maybe I just relaxed but I got pregnant that month with my DD who is now four weeks old. Worth a try, I reckon.

I might look around for something like that, thanks. You're right it might just be the relaxing that I need to do.

My OH is so supportive and so laid back, I keep the stressful side bottled up and let it out on my friends rather than him. There's nothing more he can do in all honesty lol.

It's bonkers when you spend your teenage years worrying about it and then when you're an adult you realise it's nowhere near as easy as you were always warned! I just desperately want this and after my body being very cruel to me and giving me false hope two months ago, I want it even more.

Ladies.. I have been trying in a relaxed way for 2 years now, after a year i got the CB fertility monitor and have spent the money, morning effort to pee on stick at right time each month, i have to admit i have not always managed at the same time but it helped us to know my cycle.. i was soo excited in the beginning to know when we should be trying....(my particular window of fertlity) and whoa the stress it caused thinking it was that simple, when tired, making sure sure we made love for something we both desired, a child.
Began to take its toll on both of us after the 7th month of me feeling period pains.
Neither of us were overly stressed but sad.
No baby.. ive also been taking shatavaria.. ayurvedic herbs and folic acid and eating a baby making diet.. failed with a few glasses of wine though!
Anyway..
Ive made sure that i havent pulled away from my husband and last month.. my wonderful hb and i went away on holiday for 3 weeks and i did everything i could possibly do bar becoming a complete bore, as in i did have a drink when we met friends, but went to bed early, ate healthily...blah blah blah and we were so relaxed we had fun and sex every other day but just last week after returning i got my period again.
I actually realise we cannot choose when it happens but have complete confidence we will get pregnant but have decided to visit the doctor again.
I visited the doctor 2 years ago when we had not really started trying on a friends advice saying i should say i had been trying for a year... i know its a fib but because you will not be taken seriously for at least 2 years trying unsuccesfully, i had blood tests which said everything was normal? so i had confidence with due dilligence and care i would have seen a missed period by now.
At 38, i feel i should get things checked out a little further.
