Feeling so sad

I am currently just crying after another month of struggling to conceive. I thought this was the month after my period was 4 days late and my mind as usual started running away with me getting all excited to be hit with a brick this morning when my period started. We’ve been trying to conceive since for almost a year and although I know there is still time I just feel so much pressure and stress every month which doesn’t help. I just can’t switch my mind off it and I’m 34 so time is ticking so feeling like every month is just a month wasted :( I don’t know what else to do - we have been referred for fertility support which I am anxious about. I was hoping not to have to go down that path as I also have worsening hip dysplasia so trying to prioritise pregnancy first but it’s not happening - the longer it takes the worse my hip will get. Sorry for the rant. Has anyone else been referred to a fertility clinic and knows the process? I don’t know who to speak to all my friends haven’t had any issues getting pregnant ☹️

Hey OP, have you already tried all the usual TTC methods? E.g. acupuncture, more expensive prenatal vitamins with folate not folic acid, pomegranate juice, beet juice, procieve or preseed lube, coq10?

not saying they work for everyone I just found that keeping my mind busy with all of these methods made me feel a bit better xx

Hi thank you for the recommendation. I have only been taking a daily folic acid & vit D tablet ( Boots pregnancy) bottle. Maybe I will try a few other options :)

It’s worth a try. I tried everything I could lol. I read that a lot of people can’t process folic acid properly and folate is the natural version which doesn’t need to be processed or broken down.

beet juice and pom juice help thicken lining after ovulation.

I got pregnant the month I started acupuncture and I’ll never know what it really was that made it happen, but it was very coincidental that that was the month

I never would have even considered acupuncture so I might look into that! Thank you - it’s just so overwhelming at the moment and my husband just seems so laid back about everything but I’m here getting all emotional feeling all the stress ☹️

Hi OP. Im 34 and have been ttc my second for just over a year now and also have a frustratingly laid back partner! I don’t have any advice but I just wanted to let you know you aren’t alone! My GP wouldn’t offer more than a progesterone test to confirm ovulation as I have one child already but you will have a lot more options available to you on the NHS x

I know someone who couldn't conceive for over 3 years....tried acupuncture and BOOM

I know it can be annoying to hear 'this worked for me' but after 2 years TTC I started Conceive Plus Ovulation Support and conceived 2 months later. Obviously can't say for certain that is worked but it was the only thing I changed. Such a tough time to be in so just want to also send you strength x

To add to @remaininghopeful23 we also used concieve plus the month we conceived.

were pregnant after a 16 week loss atm (10 weeks) and I’m an anxious mess and my partner is just like ‘it’s going to be fine, it won’t happen again!’ It’s very frustrating!
