Feel so deflated TTC cycle 2 or 3

Hi guys...I just feel so deflated right now. I’m 30, been TTC for 2 or 3 months now and it just hasn’t happened. I feel for everyone they are getting pregnant with a touch and I’m not. Last month I thought was the month - we DTD plenty around ovulation and I thought we nailed it. Yesterday AF came and I just feel so shit! I just want a baby :( and I feel everyone’s starting to ask questions too. I don’t know I just feel rubbish - anything to help pick me up or offer me positive stories/words. Any advice? X

From my experience TTC is a test of your patience and a very difficult journey for those of us that see the bfn every month. You are still very early days though so try maybe to prepare yourself that you might be one of the couples that will take 6-12 months so when you are getting the stark white results you are not very disheartened. The arrival of af also means that you are one step closer to your successful cycle and the horrible tww is over! That’s how I go through every month and 🤞 our lucky month finally comes soon! 🤞🙂

Hi @Kermit7
I stopped using pregnacare as they made me feel rotten. I was so dizzy, irritable, tired, sick feeling. I just took folic, calcium and vit d tabs in the required dosage instead and am much better. I've heard of pregnacare not sitting right with a few people on MN actually, but if you wanted to go down the complete vitamin route there are other brands. Sure there must be a thread on it somewhere.
I stopped taking pregnacare 2 months before we conceived. May be a coincidence, but it may be that I stopped feeling so terrible that we actually managed to conceive! good luck.

I'm 31, 32 in 5 months and I know exactly how you feel! currently on our 3rd cycle of trying, due on tomorrow or Saturday - took a test today and not even the faintest line so I don't think this is my month even though I was pretty sure like you it would be!
We have been married just over a year & together for nearly 12 years and the constant questions and 'you next' is driving me mad - we've had 6 pregnancies announced in our families this year and I feel like everyone is looking at me like something is wrong... My mother in law constantly asking, people hinting I have a glow like I'm hiding something & or questioning why I've given up smoking or not drinking another glass of wine - honestly I have to hold back tears sometimes as it's just so annoying!! I feel so silly now for just thinking that it would happen straight away as it seems thats how it goes for everyone else - keeping my fingers crossed that we all get our little bundles of joy soon [happy] xxx

@CakeAndPreggers Thank you so much for this insight. Really appreciate your thoughts. Think I will stick with taking vitamins separately. In the meantime I discovered the amazing qualities of castor oil pack for fertility. Might give that a go.
