How to accept.

[Basicbitching]

I'm on month 9 of trying...evry single month I'm sure it will be THE month, every single time I'm trying to symptom spot and I have the achy boobs very early on which I don't when we're not trying..then inevitably I get the heaviness in my uterus that means my period is on its way in a couple of days 😔. I always have hope but nothing happens.
How can i just accept that I'm not going to have another.
As not to drip feed or be insensitive, I already have 2 both of whom were conceived in the first month. Im also 36 so I'm not young anymore although we both eat clean and are fit and well.
I'm happy with my 2 and i know I'm lucky I have them..but I think its more the feeling that I may be too old to have anymore that's bothering me the most rather not the never having a third child iygwim.

I didn't know that, i have another of the strip test I got with my ovulation strips so I'll do that tonight then tomorrow buy a first response. I just think after 9 months of negatives I cabt quite belive it.

@Basicbitching it looks very positive to me!!!! Congratulations

I sent dp out and he got the only test available which was a clear blue. The test line came up really dark before the control line even came up so I guess it's positive! I think all you lot gave me the luck I needed so thank you. I just hope the dark line doesn't mean I going to get hyperemis again . Sending luck to all who are trying hope this is your month too!.

@Basicbitching that's fab, so happy for you. Congratulations again and enjoy your pregnancy

Congratulations

Congratulations @Basicbitching this is such good news after 9 months you must be so happy!

Can I ask what you did different this time?

We have been ttc an no luck yet, I'm 40.

Thank you. I've been taking evening primrose oil, and robitussin as it contains guifenesin which helps thin the cervical mucus. I've been taking those for the past 2 months. I've also been tracking ovulation. My diet is pretty good as it is and I do work out so I'm a healthy weight but I always have been. And also we dtd 2 days before I was due to ovulate and everyday that week. I did also stay in bed for 15 mins after sex but that's an old wivees tale really so who knows if that helped, I was basically trying to do everything I've ever heard of that could help.
