just moaning. moan moan moan.

when you want to get pg its fricking impossible it seems.

when you dont want to - oops!

been trying for 18m now and not a whiff. before that got pg in 2 months but wasnt trying and sadly ended in tfmr for disability. now? not a chance. i keep seeing people falling pg left right and centre and now i know realistically im far too old. (dont humour me i really am.) just sucks that it happened and made me want it all the more.
i dream that im pg. i dream about BF ffs. feel like i need electro shock therapy. or a new born for a night to reality check me. i need to embrace my freedom and enjoy middle age.

I’ve got pregnant twice in the past whilst on the pill so definitely not trying. I’ve been ttc for 18 months now too and same as you haven’t had a sniff of a bfp whilst everyone around me is falling pregnant so easily.

I try to remember that generally speaking, conception is actually very complicated. Everything has to be in the exact right place at the exact right time, has to be good quality etc etc. That’s why there is only a 20-25% chance of conceiving every month. Of course you’ll get the people who conceive without trying or on their first month of ttc but the majority of women won’t. My fertility doctor told me 85% of women will fall pregnant within 1 year and 95% in 2 years. So it’s perfectly normal to take up to 2 years to conceive even if you’re both totally healthy with no fertility issues.

I’m sorry to hear about your tfmr :( hope you get your bfp soon

Same here! I got pregnant within 3 months of meeting my now husband, resulting in our beautiful daughter, who will be 5 years old tomorrow. Been TTC for #2 for a year now with 2 miscarriages. 🙄 life has a funny way of meddling with your plans.
