Cycle 8 TTC

I'm 35 and just entering my 8th cycle TTC. Been taking all the supplements since 3 months before starting, BD at the right times. Tried to relax and still no success. Any advice?

Hey lovely, im similar to you. Cycle 7 and I’m 34. Does your partner take any supplements? I’ve got my OH on it too. What do you take? X

Thank you for the reply. Yes he does. We both take the proceive ones as well as coq 10 and omega 3. And in addition I take vitamin C to extend my luteal phase.

I didn't expect TTC to happen instantly but didn't think it would take this long! Hope you're doing ok x

@XxDaisychainxx ah sounds like you’re doing everything you can! It is so hard when it takes a while. Really hope you’re OK too. The only different thing we’ve tried this month is the fertilily and the conceive plus lube x

We are going to trying to try preseed this month too. Good luck 🤞

Same boat. I wasn't prepared for how hard the emotional waiting toll and disappointment would be. I'm 36 and trying to ignore the thought I've left it too late. But all we can do is keep trying and hope for the best. Have you seen your doctor at all? They can prescribe Clomid to help with egg release. Similar to any drug it has it's caveats but may be worth considering.

It really does take an emotional toll. Are you cycle 8 too?
Haven't been to drs yet as my BMI is slightly too high so want to get that down first.
I have done the 3 day bloods with hertility and they were all good. What about you?
You are right just got to keep going and hope for the best 🤞

Hey sorry to hear that, I'm in the same boat? I'm 35 (36 next month) and currently TTC baby number 2. We are on cycle 7! We conceived the first month with our first baby so I was naive in thinking it would be an easy ride (no pun intended 😂) this time also. Husband and I both take a multivitamin, omega 3 and I take Folic acid. I just ordered some Coq10 which I have heard good things about and I'm still considering proceive. Im getting very impatient now and it's hard seeing friends falling pregnant easily.

Sounds like you're doing everything you can do to improve your chances.
It is reassuring to know that we are not alone!
It is definitely hard seeing friends falling easy even though you're happy for them.
I find it hard when people say it will happen just relax. If only it was that easy to not think about it all the time.
