Hi everyone,

I am trying hard not to catatrophise here but 10th month of actively TTC and nothing. I have been tracking ovulation and doing all I can but I’ve had no luck. Friend after friend announcing pregnancies and I’m getting increasingly panicked and down about it all. Is 10 months normal? Or is it likely to point in the direction of a problem?

thanks everyone x

Hey so I stated spotting brown on Monday nothing went onto at pad at all just when I wiped was a bit stringy aswell brown spotting continued into yesterday again nothing on pad just when I wiped. Have been so drained fell asleep yesterday for two hours in the afternoon very unlike me. Spotting has now completed stopped I checked cervix yesterday it was high up and closed so feeling very confused not my typical af at all. No sign of red blood for those days and no flow either. Wasn't due af till Friday so not sure what is happening has this ever happened anyone? Haven't got a test in the house but will get one today so afraid to even take it as its the disappointment of it all.

Hey @Xtina1986 This has only ever happened to me once and it was like 2 cycles ago!! It was very cruel as AF did show up after about 2/3 days which was rubbish I was very hopeful and thought it had actually happened, I’m sure the same time I got an evap or a faulty positive and AF was a day or so late for me so was all positive signs and then AF proper flow did start eventually, was just really odd as I usually get few streaks then the flow. But I will say it wasn’t all brown there was some pink aswell therefore maybe a bit different for you and it’s some days leading up to BFP !! I hope it is x x
Im CD8 so start of all the nonsense again 😂 although I’m not proper tracking this month I’ll just DTD every other day see what happens.

Hey thanks @Watsochick yeah our bodies can be so cruel I never had any pain like I get only normal af. So not sure what is happening this month.

Hi, how's everyone doing now? I moved house last Weds which is the day AF came too, had a lot of distraction luckily and my new house is lovely so I was feeling okay. My fertile time is starting in a couple days now though and I'm feeling a bit dispirited, like it's cycle 12 now, what's even the point? It's not going to work is it. One thing that will be nice is now having moved our daughter is finally out of our bedroom and we can have bed sex instead of sofa sex 😂 we were both so utterly sick of the sofa!

@tingalayo hey aww happy new house!! New house and new babies hopefully !!
im approaching my fertile time aswell according to my app.
all the best and maybe with your new surroundings and more enjoyment of DTD in your bed it will all be positive and worth it in the end :)
iv started calorie counting and out walking/jogging more to shift a bit of weight, I’m heavier now than I was when I had my first wee one so I’m thinking I’m too fat to get preg the now hahaha !!

@Watsochick oh thankyou, yes I hope so! Maybe having finally moved, it'll allow me to relax and then I'll conceive??
Exercise definitely sounds like a good plan. When I did conceive my daughter, that was the month my husband had joined the gym and I had joined a studio with unlimited classes. I was doing bodypump and all sorts. Maybe something in that as well? xx

Yes definitely. I was a stone or so lighter when I was pregnant so I’m hoping a wee bit off will help this time around and I’m trying to get more active. Can only be a good thing surely. Here’s hoping x
