Feeling so down

Been ttc since nov/dec now. Tracking ovulation, using preseed and fertility cup. Doing smep plan, taking mutli vits the lot. I have regular 28/29 day cycles, been off contraception from last July. My partner has 4 children from 1 previous relationship. I’ve an 8 year old myself from a previous relationship. We are both early 30s . Why is nothing happening :( starting to feel like it never will and I feel like giving up. Every month I just feel worse and worse and now I’m starting to resent my friends coming at me from all angles telling me they are pregnant... and I don’t want to be that person.

Last month I took a frer day before af was due and got a faint positive. But next day af came and all tests since were neg. af lasted her normal 4/5 days. So I’m thinking that was even an invalid test.

Starting to feel like I’ve become infertile. Can anyone give me similar success stories :(

I know it's really hard OP but that's really not very long (I know it feels like a long time). Each month even if you do everything right you only have about a 20/25% chance of conceiving. Hang in there OP. I remember reading from a fertility expert that the vast majority of women in our position aren't infertile, just impatient. That makes me feel better.

@2020wish I could have wrote that. (Except We just have the 1 kid) I’m convinced something is wrong as I conceived my first ( plus a mc baby) first times. It makes me very upset every month as well. It’s so hard when you know every month you’re having sex at the right times and still nothing

Ttc is really crap when you really want it to happen.

I've been ttc no2 since September and have been tracking bbt, opks, taking supplements etc the whole time. Trying to give ourselves as much chance as possible as I only have one tube now. I had a chemical last month and then this month have had loads of symptoms (plus probable corona v) but 12dpo and another bfn. I hate feeling so sure then realising I'm just deluding myself when only one line pops up.

I know I need to be more patient- it took us 13m to conceive my dd (ectopic the month before I got pregnant with her) but doesn't make it any easier! But have hope that you most likely arnt infertile, a few months is nothing in the grand scheme and when you do get your bfp it will all be worth it. X

Thank you ladies. I think I’m just so impatient has I have my wedding booked and wanted to have enough tile between birth and prepping for wedding. We pushed it back a year to start trying for baby number 2 for me .. but now I’m afraid I am running out of time as I can’t push it back another year so I guess that pressure is getting me down also lol just didn’t think it would take so long when it happened so quickly with my son x
