Just ranting really! I think we're doing everything right and it's still not happening!

Fed up and emotional!

Ideas on how to make this happen before I go to the gp and get us tested?

Feel same as you @HalfPenny28

Not sure I can really help with what doing wrong :-(

We're doing OPKs which I get a clear positive on (cheap ones) which completely correlate with temping. See an obvious rise and fall in temps during each phase. So I dunno. I'm 34, OH is 42 and we have one child together age 10.

TTC for 6 months.

I hear people talk about pre seed and other vitamins and Angus cactus is it?!? SMEP I hear about as well, but also just doing it every couple days throughout cycle as well so I just don't know :-(

Hi, are you using ovulation tests? And know you are defo ovulating? Are you having sex before the time of ovulation? I found that I was ovulating earlier in the month than expected. We had sex up to 5 days before I ovulated and every day up to this.

Good luck x

I feel your pain. I have been ttc for 18 months and it is soul destroying. Dh and I had private tests and are 'normal'.

I'm tracking ovulation using clear blue and get my static, also track on the FLO app and af comes bang on and the predicted ovulation day matches clear blue.

I just don't get why it won't just work, I don't know if I should change my diet, loose weight, have more or less sex, take supplements??

The whole thing is mental! I wish we'd started trying sooner now. I'm only 29 (30 in August) but I just feel like I've wasted time now thinking it wouldn't take too long.

@Megabustravelling I don't know if that would make me feel better or worse being told everything's fine but it's just not happening!

I would go to the GP. I think they refer for further testing after 12 months. Sounds like you have been doing everything right. Wishing you all the best x
