We are in month 4 of trying to conceive baby number 3 we always wanted a big family and concieved both my first two very quickly this time it seems to be taking ages the sadness of a period turning up is becoming upsetting! We are using ovulation test as well as having sex every other day and I'm 25years old. What can I do to help us concieve and how long did it take others for baby number 3 thanks

You need to find a way to stay relaxed. We've just conceived #2. We spent almost 9 months ttc and not even a blip of a positive test. We took a break for 2 months and then started again. We caught on month 2.
First time we got pregnant first time so your previous experience is irrelevant as it's just luck.
I feel very very lucky in both attempts as some people take a lot longer than that.
There is nothing you can really do to make it happen sooner, but to be worrying yourself this soon is not going to be beneficial.
When I had dd 5 years ago I think they said that 80% of people my age (27) would have conceived within 8 months.

4 months isn't long enough- I would continue to try and surely enough you'll get there. I'm 22 weeks with my first and we conceived first try (I still got a period and stuff so didn't know I was pregnant already) I frantically was searching the internet thinking is it normal for it not to happen already and I even went to the doctors. They said it's normal to take up to around 6 months to conceive- even a year!
