TTC #1

Hi, this is my first time posting :)
I’ve been TTC now for 10 months now and nothing :( I know it can take up to a year or more but I’m finding it so difficult and upsetting. When I was with my ex (for 5 years) I wanted a baby so bad and he kept stringing me a long with excuses like after this or after that or soon as we got married.. which after we got married he said he didn’t actually want one. I’m with my current partners for 2 years and he too wants children but it’s just so painful every month when it doesn’t happen.
A family member recently got pregnant after 1 month of trying and although I am very happy for them I’m finding it difficult to be around them, I’m trying to be supportive but feel awful when they talk about the baby or they are planning a gender reveal next month and I’m not sure if I can go… am I being unreasonable?
I’ve tried everything… the right lube, vitamins tracking ovulation.. this month I had another negative and can’t stop crying 😢 and everyone just keeps saying it will be fine but just feel like it’s not gonna happen for me

Are you using OPKs?

I could have wrote something very similar OP. I was with my ex for 10 years. Initially would say he wanted children maybe in the future. I was nearing 28 and he was adamant he didn't want them. I've been with my now DP for just over 3 years and been trying for the last 12 months with not even a hint of a bfp.
Tried OPKS, BBT, vitamins, conceive plus lube. We DTD on the days we need to but just get the disappointment every month.
I've had appointment with GP this month and have booked bloods and ultrasound for next month. DP is doing semen analysis.
Several family members and friends have announced they a pregnant and it just makes me feel so down.
