Anyone get pregnant in 2nd year of trying?

[tingalayo]

I'm on month 13, just had a negative FRER at 10dpo so probably isn't my month, again. I have a lovely 3yo who took us 9 months to conceive, so I was expecting the same again this time but since hitting 12 failed cycles I feel barren and like she must have been a miracle! I haven't had any losses either, just no pregnancies whatsoever. I've seen the GP and have the first of the blood tests next week. I'm not really expecting to have another baby anymore, just mentally preparing myself for an only child. But I'm so melancholy thinking my god, how I would love to see a second line on that test. Is it possible? Has anyone here been totally unsuccessful for a year and then it actually happened naturally later on?

I asked my daughter this morning quite hopefully, do you like it being just the three of us and having me and daddy all to yourself? And she said "a bit, but I would like it more if you were pregnant". So I suppose we're on the same page 😥

Yup. I have only conceived once before in sept 2020, which ended in miscarriage. I recently conceived again (I am approx 4 weeks), 2 years of trying later.

We technically are in the care of the assisted conception clinic but weren't under treatment when I conceived this pregnancy. Now just hoping it's successful!

@tingalayo I took 11 cycle to conceive. I had a DD who had just turned four when I fell. Actually we had one oops months before as well so really it was 12 cycles where we could of fell. And I fell on that 12th. Never taken that long before. Had all checks. Could find no reason. Infact my DHs sperm was top notch it made no sense.

anyway that last cycle I did use the fertilily conception aid. The device you put up near your cervix to ensue there kept and put near the cervical fluid and help them get close to the cervix opening.

i think it helped!! Because I lost that pregnancy. Mmc at 9 weeks. But 3 months after ERPC surgery on my 3rd cycle found out I was 4 weeks pregnent again. So much quicker. I continued to use this device tho. I’m sure it contributed.

have you tried it? But also just to say it can be a mixed bunch. Deffo doesn’t mean you’re barren at all. As I felt the same. An I had chemical after the mmc too. So clearly I am far from barren!

It took me 18 months to conceive
my first

20 months for me and currently abling onto cycle 13 this time around. So disheartening but under a clinic now so I'll hopefully get some insights

15 months before I had my son. Then three months after starting to try for number two but I miscarried that one. Five months on from that and nothing so far :(

Nice to hear from some of you who it happened for eventually, thanks xx
@Indianna2006 I might buy one of those. What have I got to lose after all! Is it easy to use? Seems like it would be really messy to put in!

@tingalayo Almost 2 years we were trying. Took pregnacare, OPK’s, all the myths and tricks and nothing worked, not a hint of a pregnancy. Gave up and discussed going for tests etc and bam that month we were pregnant!

Don’t give up 💪🏼

Took 14 months for my first and then my second just 1 month. No rhyme or reason to it. So doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. It's so frustrating though hope it's not much longer for you xx
