Into month 6 anyone else?

[WatchingTheWheels85]

I'm 34 and just about to start my 6th cycle. I know it's not long really but it still bloody sucks

I would say we are probably on 6th cycle too...although spread out over more months as we skips some months of trying. My dh sometimes does not agree to try...which is so F$£%£$%£$ annoying. I am 36 and we are going for a 3rd dc. First two were first try so this is something new for me....using ovulation strips and now temping. I don't think it helps that every other month my dh decides he does not want to try...it quite pisses me off actually. He thinks we have years to try...where as I feel like we have left it too long etc. Its frustrating when you are trying and actually paying attention etc. Much easier if you can just dtd a few times a month and hope for the best....But the counting the days etc and let down of AF arriving can get to you. Especially when everyone else around is pregnant. I can't complain though as I have my 2 dc. However, my friend tried for 2 years and was in the process of getting IVF and she got pregnant on her own (after she had a minor surgery to correct a heart shape uterus). Anyway, now she has 4 kids 5 and under! So sometimes things happen....when the time is right...or when something needs to be fixed. Problem is figuring out what that is.

More than 6 unfortunately :-( But very happy to keep you company, as I know how frustrating it is!

Thank you for replying guys. I've given up on the buses as much as I'm happy for others I'm just getting upset. Right now I never want to have sex again but I know next week I will be back to it. It's becoming a bloody chore.

I'm also 34 and now in the 8th month of trying. I know what you mean about the sex becoming a chore - I'm starting to feel that way too. I'm finding the whole thing so frustrating.

Month 7 just started 2 days ago. Ttc #4 but 1at with new dp. I'm 40 and each month makes it feel less and less likely to happen.

It's so frustrating I've resigned myself to it never happening now. I have older children which of course I'm so fortunate to have. My period is due tomorrow and I just want it show up so I can start again as much as I dread it.

I’m TTC my first and have also given up with the buses. Does my head in if I’m honest when someone is like ‘it’s my first month TTC, oh is this a line??’ - Ahh!! I am 28 and have PCOS so don’t even ovulate. I’m learning to accept that this will be a long journey for me but I’m not giving up on it happening at some point...

I have deleted my ovia app today. I'm gonna scrap opk testing and just try and get on with my life if it happens that is fucking amazing. But everything has been when I'm pregnant or when we have a baby. I'm going to the gym today I'm going to shift a stone before summer, I'm going to buy some nice new dresses and sandals.

Ugh, isn’t it just so hard! We’re coming to the end of cycle 15. I’ve recently started acupuncture and I’m certain it’s helped me to relax and be less stressed, if nothing else.

I have thought about accupuncture. It was so hard yesterday I drove past someone leaning into the hood of their pram to light a cigarette

@pinacollama and @watchingthewheels - I haven’t tried acupuncture but have been considering it (I created a thread on it a while back as a colleague recommended it to me and a few people say they thought it helped them). It’s really expensive in my area though and I can’t find any actual clinical evidence that it works. I like facts and stats. May succumb in the summer though as starting to think i’ll try anything!

And Wheels - omg I find that one of the hardest things. I’m not normally a judgy person, but if I see a parent (or pregnant woman) smoking around baby etc it makes me sooo upset. I saw some awful parenting the other day and said to my DH ‘how come they get to be parents and we can’t?’

Same here, just into cycle 7. It's really hard isn't it. Doesn't help that everyone I know seems to getting pregnant (social media is the WORST).

I feel your pain guys I'm just going in to cycle 7 and I don't know how much more I can take 🙈😩

Cycle 23 or 24 here, I've lost count :/

I'm not on social media it would be too much. My gut instinct has always been spot on and I just know it won't happen. DH doesn't get this though. I'm dreading fertile week already.
