My husband and I started trying about a year ago, and I got a positive test in January this year and we were both incredibly excited. In March we went for our scan and I had suffered a missed miscarriage and we were devastated. I decided to proceed with surgical management. By April my periods had arrived, and I have been between 26 and 32 days each month. It's very frustrating, not having regular periods. I thought my periods were back to being regular as had three months of 26 days, but then it was 32 last month and I'm currently on day 30 at the moment. I've taken an early pregnancy test and it's negative. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to stay positive and focus on the here and now and try not to let it get to me, but it's proving difficult. I've recently turned 34 and have no children, and age is always on my mind. My sister is due next month and at the beginning of my pregnancy, we were planning on being on maternity leave together and how nice it would have been for the two to grow up so close in age. I have her baby shower this weekend and that is getting to me also. I know when the baby comes, it is going to be incredibly difficult, but I am genuinely happy for her, but can't help but think of what could have been. If it hasn't happened by March, I will be seeing my GP as it will have been another year of trying with nothing, I'm hoping that this won't be the case. I'm not really sure why I'm writing this, but it feels good to get it off my chest how I'm feeling, and after any advice or words of wisdom.
How long has it taken of trying before you had a baby?
