another month, another period..

[civicxx]

hit six months & hit a horrible feeling :(

We're both 25, don't smoke, we drink very occasionally & not excessively, eat well, are not over weight, use ovulation tests and BD every other day around ovulation. I haven't drank coffee for 6 months & only have decaf tea & take pre pregnancy multi vitamins..

What else can I do?

We're seriously running out of time to become pregnant due to work commitments & just too make me feel better this week I've came on 2 days earlier, placing my potential ovulation earlier meaning the trip to Africa I wanted to take in February (very limited date wise) I'll now either not go or feel forever guilty we missed a month of trying.

Please somebody help me from feeling so fed up this morning

@civicxx I can’t give you any advice I’m afraid as I’ve done everything - SMEP, preseed, grapefruit juice, you name it. Currently on CD1 of cycle 7 but just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone .

Thankyou hoping this is a positive month for you. I just feel like everything is on hold at the moment & really starting to struggle with it, also everybody seems to be having babies at the moment which is lovely & making me feel rubbish at the same time!

Of course you can go to Africa! Sperm ives in the uterus for a while and if I'm anything to go by my husband went to France about 3-4 days prior to my ovulation date, except it's likely, due to a very early scan when I was pregnant, that I'd ovulated 6 days later than I'd expected (ie I was pregnant, 6 weeks at my scan and my sac/pole was measuring 5+1 ... this was my second baby and about my 10th pregnancy and I thought I was an expert at getting pregnant ... nope, it's not that exact!
So have sex just before you go to Africa and enjoy your holiday! (FWIW I wouldn't go if I WAS pregnant ... so perhaps think this month you'll try a bit less .... stoping the trying does help ... helped twice with my two children IYSWIM)

When you get back have a think about visiting the GP .... for peace of
Mind if nothing else

@civicxx I know exactly what you mean. Everyone I know seems to be getting pregnant here there any everywhere and have often shared that they gave it a go and boom they were pregnant. I’m feeling a bit bitter at the moment which I know is awful.
