Hello there - I'm very new to all this, when I had my son 15 years ago it happened by chance and now that I'm TTC with my partner it's all very different 🙈 I've never quite understood the stress and despair that a BFN after one cycle of TTC could bring and the growing worry that at (36 in 2 weeks) that my eggs are either dried out or defunct - I mean, I could've gone through the menopause for all intents and purposes without even knowing as I hadn't had a period since 2004!!
I've been on BC for 14 years (5 years the pill and 3 x 3yr implants) and can't begin to explain how happy I was having the first back cramp and snap attack at my partner for eating the last crumpet before AF arrived! 2 weeks later I ovulated (15 oPKs later) lots of sneaky fun times before and after and on Sunday at 9PO I was convinced that I was pregnant!! (Optimistic right?) 4 FR kits and 4 heart-sinkingly big BFNs later I'm 2 days to AF and absolutely convinced that I'm unable to conceive as everyone I've spoken to has had these wonderful bits of advice to give which usually goes "oh it happened to us right away, don't think it will take ages because it happens much quicker than you think!"
Really Susan??
Is anyone else in a similar boat TTC after years on BC and worried that they may not be able to? Does it really get harder the older you are?? Xx
