TTC not happening :(

[keanukhalessi123]

Been ttc for 5 months now, i know its not a long time as other people have been trying alot longer than that, one of my friends been trying for over a year and shes also really frustrated...
I want this baby so badly, its going to be baby number one and im so exited, but every month AF comes along and its so crushing :(
Ive already brought some baby items, Moses basket and little outfits
But i just feel like its taking so long :( i calculate the days online when my fertile and ovulation days are, ive got these little tests that are supposed to tell you when your ovulating, i feel like im doing all the right things, but just not happening ☹️

@keanukhalessi123 have you got an app you're logging all this onto? I find that helps to make sense of it all. I also have temped since the beginning of the year, before I even was ttc but again helped me pinpoint when I'm ovulating so we can focus on a week a month rather than stressing all month

@sunshine1987 no don't have a app, do you know any good ones? X

@keanukhalessi123 would try flo. Put all your period data/OPK/CM etc into that and it'll help you see a pattern over time too

It took us over a year but in the end what worked (assuming no medical issues for either of you), was that we just started having sex every day or every second day and not counting/temping/testing which took the pressure off

Its really common to take at least 6 months for people to fall pregnant. Dont buy anything else though as it will torture you whilst you are ttc. Take your temp, keep using the opks, have a read up on the smeg plan, stick a pillow under your bottom to keep your pelvis tilted and that sperm in longer 😊

Hang in there is my advice, it will happen. Been trying 9 months. AF & cycle not regular so I hadn’t a clue what was right time etc but I used my SpotOn & Ovid apps for a rough idea. Got a BFP this morning.
