Still not sodding pregnant

[MrsMogginsMinge]

I'm well past the excited stage, not quite at the worried stage - firmly in the fucked off stage. Anyone else?

I'm luckier than many - I have a lovely 2.5 yr old DC, who was conceived v easily, the only apparent difference being that I am now officially in my late rather than mid thirties. But six months in I am fed up with keeping track of cycles, pissing on things and making time for shagging when I'd rather be asleep. I could really just do with being pregnant just once more so I can have just one more baby and never have to think about it ever again. Come on, universe. Sort it out.

You're probably over thinking it because your first happened so easily. How about chilling out and just dtd lots in the first 2 weeks of your cycle

We've been TTC (well not preventing and trying lots of sex during the fertile week) and are at 14 months now.

I know how you feel as my excitement started to die about 6 months in.

Maybe you feel thia way because it was much easier last time.

Yeah, that was the plan for the first few months. Then nothing happened so I thought I'd better pull my socks up and start pissing on sticks and stuff. And we DTD bloody loads at all the right times this month (we were on holiday and full of wine) and AF is about to show up. I'm just bored of waiting and calculating the new age gap and just want to crack on with it. Pah.

Yep feel your pain! Cycle 10 TTC #1. Theres quite a few people on here just getting fed up. In fact there's a whole thread about it! Have a look. It cheered me up knowing I wasn't the only one getting fed up. Also made me feel better when I felt like everyone around be just got pregnant from one night of sex and one sperm!! Agh!

Thanks MrsJones - they sound like my people. It's so fucking inefficient this whole thing.

Feel your pain. Been pregnant twice, both super quickly (both conceived after one missed pill so not planned! Got one 9 year old out of it though lol) Now that I'm actually TRYING to get pregnant, nothing is happening. At all. I'm on month 10. It was exciting for like, 3 months then it just started to feel like a drag, totally understand! Luckily there's loads of women on here who feel exactly the same that you can moan to

We are your people!! It's so hard not to get disappointed each time! The ladies in there have made me laugh when at other points I have just felt like bawling my eyes out! Haha

Ha - I'm three months in and my excitement has died! I am not good at this. So many people seem to get pregnant really easily, I'm 25 and have decided I'm probably broken already. I am so impatient, and grumpy. Happy to join the fucked off camp if you'll have me

This is my thread.

Loads of people i know managed it in 3 months of getting married. Loads of others have had surprises.

I was saying to DH we may as well have not bothered with diligently using contraception if this is how it's going to be. I could have had many pill free years.

Though DH says we know we'd have ended up pregnant during uni if we did that. Sods law at work.

21 months in and 4 chemical pregnancies, past getting even a slither of excitement now
Currently waiting it out over the next week to see if I can be bothered to test, not sure on my exact dpo with my random irregularity in cycles and messing up opks this cycle

maisypops my sister has been pregnant twice this year by accident. First time she had a medical termination but she's keeping it this time. Her bump is huge already, can't say I'm not seething with jealousy on the inside knowing she probably has no idea what a bloody opk even is haha and also I suffered horribly on the implant for 18 months feeling awful every single day. If I'd known I couldn't get pregnant then I wouldn't have bothered either ttc is a nightmare

I'm definitely on the fed up train too..
I'm only on cycle 3 though... Conceived 1 St time with 2dd (9,7) and 1 St time with mmc Dec 16... Fed up of opk, eating spinach, sweet potatoes, avocados and nuts... No caffeine... Argh. Then find out family member had 20w scan and is expecting a boy... Argh when's it my turn... I'm getting old fast...38 soon ... Body and universe don't seem to be playing...grrr

I'm fed up too! Similar situation to you @MaisyPops. Currently on cycle 7 after early mc. Have a DS who is nearly 3 and was conceived on 1st cycle. Just feel like I used up all my luck with DS and it's never going to happen. Loads of people around me are pregnant or have just had a baby. Frustrating but trying to keep my mind off things. Currently in tww so easier said than done!

I am TTC DC3, and have definitely been there with fed-upness...

DC1 happened second month in, then I m/c an unplanned pregnancy which was the impetus for properly trying TTC DC2... that took 15 months and was just a fuckjng chore by the end...

In the end I needed help to lengthen my cycle as I ovulate so late...so now I'm back on the hormones TTC #3. Four months in...

I realise how lucky I am but just don't feel done yet...

Yep completely over it... Cycle 13 and counting

Another one that's fed up... DS took 8 months. Then I got preg first cycle TTC #2! Ended up being a chemical. Hmmmph. Then got pregnant again just 2 months later! Wahoo! Ended in MC at 10 weeks. Now I'm on cycle 4 again and started to run out of enthusiasm.

It's so irritating isn't it when you feel like you're not even in control of your body. I've given up on opks I never get a positive. The only benefit of ttc is lots of sex lol.
Baby dust to you xxx

Yes to this thread! Completely fucked off and bored of it after 8 months - TTC for baby no1 at 30! DTD at the right times, CF when im ovulating and positive OPK's. Just no sodding BFP!

Swear ive had every sympotom going and some i didn't even know were symptoms! Yet AF due in two days and everything has now gone away. Feel like my body tricks me to increase the level of devestation!

Grrrrrr! Good luck to all the other tryers!! 😘

Oh I hear you! TTC #1 for 13 months now & totally fed up of OPK's taking my bloody temp every day, blood tests & internal scans starting to wonder how anyone manages to get pregnant at all! Fingers crossed for BFP's for us all!

Just spunked a load of money on some flashy OPKs and CoEQ10 or whatever it's called to rejuvenate my creaking eggs. Was trying to economise a bit as I'm skint (s/employed, only working part-time) but fuck it. Think this is part of the problem - I feel like I can't 'lean in' to my career until I'm done having babies so I'm just spinning my wheels. Only 2 more months until any DC2 will be 4 school years younger than DC1. Shite.

It well shit isn't it? I'm home inseminating and it's fucking tedious.

You girls are my kinda people!!
I'm on cycle 8 and totally over it now! Feels like it's never gonna happen and wondering how there are so many babies around me when it seems so difficult to get pregnant

Dc1 a result of a broken condom.

Thinking this month we will have to give it out everything again. Sex everyday is so tedious and tiring

Right there with ya! TTC child 3 and I'm just getting so down. Been trying for over a year and I'm really starting to believe it won't ever happen. My previous two children were not planned but now I actually want an other my body isnt playing ball :(

I'm currently adding reflexology and meditation to my list of expenses, purely to test the theory that "if you relax, I'm sure it will happen"

Starting cycle 9 and I'm SO over it! Very regular cycles, ewcm, clear bbt rise, 14 day LP - yet I'm not pregnant! Totally normal internal scan too. I prepared myself for it to take up to 6 months but this is getting silly now.
