Positive conception stories

[Thefaceofboe]

Hi! Just wondering if anyone has conceived after a year + of trying and there was nothing physically wrong with them? Been ttc for 15 months now and will be booking an appointment soon but just trying to convince myself there’s nothing wrong & it will happen.

Not as long as you but I was on cycle 13 when I got my BFP. I’m now nearly 8 weeks and had my early scan yesterday.

🤞 it happens for you soon.

It took me 9 years. I had 3 miscarriages in that time and various tests. All showed nothing wrong with me or my husband. Then one month I fell pregnant again and now have an 8 month old.
I did nothing different, so there is always hope!

@BeingATwatItsABingThing thanks for your reply! Congratulations I’m sure a lot of people are the same but I really want to conceive naturally and when the time is right so would ideally avoid tests if I could. I’m just starting to worry a bit now

@plixy that’s amazing! So sorry about your miscarriages

I didn’t have any tests or do anything different. I used OPKs and had bought some preseed but didn’t use it.

Yeah I’ve been doing opks and using pre-seed for 9 months now.

I’ve also been trying for nearly 16 months. I have a 6 year old though, and had a v. early miscarriage October 2017. I’ve not made a doctors appt yet. I know I should, but obvs I already have one child so if there something wrong I’m not sure how much ‘help’ we would get. I did have a section with him so I wonder if that’s affected things. I also cannot face having any invasive tests done. After having other gynae health issues a few years ago I’m just done with getting my bits out and being prodded etc. It’s getting very tedious now though. I was so naive and convinced it would happen straight away. Ds was conceived literally from one lets just chance it quickie so I presumed it would just happen first month. I’ve been taking all the vitamins, not overweight, don’t smoke, have tried the lubes, opk’s, soy isoflavones, lying down for ages after etc. I’m so fed up with it all.

@jenniuol I want to avoid the tests too but don’t know how long I can go on just wondering what’s not working. I hope it happens for you soon x

@Thefaceofboe Thankyou, you too! Currently in the tww. Feel like I swing between miserable that my periods arrived, then we must dtd every two days for the best chance then just waiting for my period to arrive again. I don’t even symptom spot really as even when not trying I get huge sore boobs, cramps etc before my period so it doesn’t mean much. I feel so stupid really over the past 18 months we’ve not done things ‘in case I’d be pregnant/have a newborn’ and of course I wasn’t. So then booked a 3 week hol of a lifetime thinking it would happen and obviously it didn’t just wears thin. Sick of people asking. Running out of ways to make myself feel better about it. At first I would think oh well at least I can have a drink at Christmas/my birthday, won’t be hugely pregnant during the summer/won’t have morning sickness during school hols/can eat all the pate, cheese but just now I want all that more than anything

@jenniuol bless you, what you’ve described there is exactly the same as me. I want a holiday so bad but have been putting off booking for 18 months now incase I’m pregnant

I don’t symptom spot either, I have sore boobs after ovulation when I’m about 10DPO so could be either. I’m due AF on Friday so I’ve got all my finger and toes crossed it will be our month.

It will happen for us

@Thefaceofboe did you test on Friday? I had everything crossed for you. My period is due this week, prob Thursday ish. No symptoms whatsoever, I’m not hopeful. Stupidly had too much to drink last night and I’m so mad at myself. I never go anywhere and am not a heavy drinker by any means, I wasn’t paralytic by any stretch but still worried it will have affected my chances. Probably ridiculous
