You only have a 20% chance of conception each cycle and it only take dtd once in your fertile window so you stand as much chance of getting a bfp this cycle as anyone else 🙂

How are you tracking ovulation?

@BoBo90 Ovulation strips and i have an app, sounds stupid going with an app though? Although it has been bang on every month with periods ect! I think i need to stop becoming obsessed and just go with if it happens it happens can't help but feel extremely jealous every time i see a pregnant woman

Oh I totally get the jealousy, it seems to be a natural part of ttc!
Ok the reason I asked is that if you're using opks you really need to dtd the day (or for two days) after the lh surge as it can take 12-36 hours for the egg to be released. If your only dtd before then a lot of those sperm may die before the egg pops. It might help or it might not but worth covering every possibility 🙂
Are you trying other signs? Ewcm?
Also it feels like forever while your trying but try to remind yourself after each cycle that most couples conceive within a year. Try not to worry if it's only been months at this point xx
