6 months Trying!

[Loanrider19]

6 months in TTC, so frustrating, the last few months I have had spotting so I each month I had my fingers crossed that I was pregnant, last month was my first proper period in so long so I’m hoping and praying I’m not ovulating. I don’t feel any different around ovulation and ovulation tests don’t seem to work at all.... trying not to get stressed out about it and trying not to be obsessed but it’s so hard :-(

I'm 7 months trying and just had a chemical pregnancy this month. I understand your frustration. Feel like I'm going mad sometimes, especially in the tww. It is a lot harder, mentally, than I imagined it to be. I literally have a meltdown every time AF arrives 😅 I try to take comfort in the fact that it is quite normal for it to take a year for couples to conceive. My cycles are really irregular as well so it's difficult to track ovulation. Also find that my OH doesn't really get my frustration. He is really supportive and he wants this just as much as me but he just doesn't understand, he's so chilled out about it all. Hope we both get our BFP soon!

Hey ladies, I feel the same as you both :( been trying for a year now, I'm currently on 11dpo on our 12th cycle, it's not helped by irregular periods and I had a MC in nov at 7 weeks. My partner is very much of the it'll happen frame of mind!

@loanrider19 have you tried temping to confirm ovulation?

It’s so frustrating, same - although my partner is so ready to be a father he doesn’t understand why I get so upset every month when it doesn’t happen! I don’t want him to think I’m going crazy but last month I was so frustrated I burst into tears, I then feel bad because he got upset! I don’t want to get obsessed but I didn’t think it would be this difficult! I feel for you my sister MC 3 times and it took her 3.5yrs to get pregnant with help. I worry I will be the same and that stresses me out even more.... need to learn not to be such a stress head but I find myself googling early pregnancy signs etc alll the time, maybe I’m going mad 😫

Hi ladies,
We've been ttc since January wit no luck so far. I had my IUD removed early Jan, so Feb was basically a write off until my body caught up.
Every month is getting harder and harder when af arrives, its really getting to me.
My sister in law announced last weekend that she was pregnant, and I found it so hard. Obviously Im over the moon for her, but I still found it really hard. Especially as they had only been trying 2 months!!
My partner completely understands and is so supportive, but it is getting more and more disheartening a the months go by.
Ive just entered my fertile window, and really hoping this might be the month!
@Loanrider19 Im the same as you with google and the apps I use in the tww. I think im turning in to a bit of a mad woman

Same - January I had my coil removed I had my coil for 9 years so Iv only just gone back to normal, first proper period last month Hooray!! Have everything crossed this month we will conceive..... awww congrats for them but yes it’s so crap for you!!! 🤞 for you this month

Just starting Cycle 7 plus also had a few months of trying last year. Really frustrating and confusing isnt it.

It took us ten months with our first and I know how frustrating and upsetting it was. The month I stopped doing ovulation tests and stopped worrying and logging all my symptoms was the month it happened for us so all I can say is try and relax as much as possible 😊

@Loanrider19 I had mine in for 10 years, so pretty similar to you! February wasnt really a proper period (although I was in a world of pain for cramps etc, which I hadnt felt in a decade!!), then every month since has been very light for 3-4 days.

@BPT2019 really nice to hear that you managed to conceive after 10 months, its reassuring! Im finding it really hard to just relax ad stop worrying, how did you manage it?? I think with all the lockdown, its played on my mind more since there hasnt been anywhere to go/people to see to distract me!

We are on 7 months TTC 1st baby.
I stopped tracking this month. I wanted a month off of checking temps, apps and symptoms. Did a test at 9dpo because I needed to take some anti inflammatories and believe I got a faint line (first time it's ever happened) However not getting my Hope's up, just going to chill this weekend and test Monday.
My advice would be to just forget about apps, symptoms and when you may be ovulating. We have only had sex 3 days this month, and only once around possible ovulation day. If I am lucky then I do believe that everyone says and that once you stop, you catch xx

Amazing! Fingers crossed for you!!!

Finally have a positive pregnancy test a week ago, last month I tried to be chilled about it and finally we have the result we have been waiting for! I’m only 4 weeks but hopefully everything is fine :-)

That's amazing news @Loanrider19 ! Congratulations!!
