Pft...cycle 16 here I am

I started cycle 16 this morning Sad I haven't caught once.

A good friend had her baby yesterday and I thought oooh maybe this time 9mths...but it wasn't to be and af arrived 2 days early!

So both 29, don't smoke or drink, have fairly regular sex (3 times per week is the norm). I was using opks but I was being sent round the bend with them so going to start this month! Fairly regular cycles - averaging 29 days.

It's just so frustrating! Try to not let it bother you but it's difficult. I am very lucky that I do have 2 dds but there is just this gap in our family that I just knew had to be filled - and the longer it's taking the older my kids are getting too and I am starting to feel bad at the posibility of going back to the baby stage when they are so far past that. I haven't gone to the gp as I know in our region they wouldn't do much plus if there was a reason we wouldn't be entitled to any 'help'.

I was on the April girls thread with you Iam. I haven't been posting much lately trying to relax about the whole ttc thing because it's not happening for me either.

Sorry to hear you are onto cycle 16 I know how hard it is for AF to turn up every month without fail. It sounds like this is something you really want so please don't give up.

Dd will be 10 this year and I have started to question if we are doing the right thing. Dh says he wants to keep trying and he feels sure it will happen soon. I hope he is right.

I know it's easy to say but try and stay positive. I am trying to think of it in terms of when it does happen we will appreciate it more because we have had to wait and that has helped me a little.

Keep going and I really hope it is your turn soon Flowers

Hi 21 yes I remember you Smile

Mine are 10 and 7 so just seem so much older than babies! I try to stay positive but sometimes it's just so hard to do. I thought 3yrs ago that my baby days were over so I don't know where the urge actually came from to try for another!

I'm the same it just hit me one day the urge to try for another. I would have started trying earlier but dh took some persuading Smile

My DH isn't bothered either way - he agreed cos he knew I'd not stop keep trying to talk him round Grin

I don't know if it's because I had my two young; and all my acquaintances are just starting their families so there are babies everywhere!
