36 TTC for 10 months and feeling really down

[YEN1]

I'm 36 and my DH is 44. I have a DD 17 from a previous relationship and have a DD 12 with my DH, twe conceived with her after 10 months of trying. We have now been TTC for 10 months (although I admit not religiously for those 10 months), and I’m losing hope. With every month that passes I know time is not on our side. We’ve tried tracking ovulation, sperm meets the egg, using an app and ‘not trying and see if we are lucky’. It’s so disheartening 😢

Hi, just wanted to say that I completely understand this, I started a very similar thread some months back.
But please try to hold on to some hope, it could be just around the corner for you. It took us 13 cycles this time, I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant. I'm 38 and also felt the panic rising every month because I thought I was running out of time. But you and your DH have had a child before, as had me and my DH. So the odds are very much in your favour. Keep going, it will come x

Hi, we tried for 12 months (some very irregular cycles so it was less than 12 cycles but that only added to the worry!) and we got our first bfp on Wednesday. We had tried opks, smep, ‘relaxing’ but we still had bfn’s. This month I took vitamin b6, b12 and d alongside folic acid as had seen a lot of reviews about them helping conception but the biggest change was using preseed. First month we used it we got our bfp so I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Lots of love x

Thank you both and congratulations on your pregnancies. I will definitely give the supplements a go.
