TTC 6 months+ keeping one another sane x

[mackjm20]

Hiya I was looking for a new thread where people had been trying for a little while already and thought why not make a new one myself :)

I have just turned 30 and we have been trying since September 2020 so as AF has just arrived we will be going into our 8th cycle in April.

This will be our 1st and like most people on here I am so impatient to get that bfp! Even more so since we hit what appears to be a big milestone of over 6 months trying I seem to end up down a daily dr Google rabbit hole.

Just looking for people in a similar situation to ride out the twws with and to support one another :)

I am on another amazing group aswell but most of the people that started it at the same time as me have bfps now (which is amazing) but felt I needed a group to continue the ttc conversations with too as that has kept me going the last 8 months :) xxx

Morning guys how’s everyone doing? Another BFN for me this cycle ... on to cycle 9. Feeling pretty shit today I always try not to get my hopes up but just can’t help it.

Only plus is that I am having blood tests and an ultrasound for pcos so finally will be able to either know that that could be having an impact or rule it out.

I am tempted to take a pause this cycle as the end of may I am due my second vaccine so I feel like for the sake of a month atlesst I will be protected- wasn’t willing to park 3 months after my first one in March but feel like it’s so close maybe I’ll just wait and have it- feels like a wasted chance though so 50/50 at the moment x

Ah I'm sorry @mackjm20 , no matter how hard I try not to get excited and not to feel anything you still do deep inside.. let yourself be upset and do whatever you need to do to get it out of your system and ready for a new month.

That's positive! Hopefully you'll know and be able to address it whichever way the tests go!

I haven't been following the vaccine that much so I don't know, are you meant to stop trying before / after you get it?

I'm doing okay, should be entering my fertile week, not sure when to expect ovulation as I took soy this cycle. Feeling a bit meh overall tbh (ttc, pandemic etc), so just taking it one day at a time and trying to enjoy and appreciate the small things. Thinking come on now, 9 months in, it's gotta happen and stick now, this is getting ridiculous 😆

Sorry I haven’t been back in a few days it’s been DH birthday so that’s been nice to keep me occupied. Nothing to report for me, Waiting for AF to arrive in the next couple of days but my cycle can be anywhere between 27-35 days so could be anytime really. Hope your tests go ok @mackjm20 and lots of luck to you @choccrumpet
