Ttc 1year plus struggles and success!

[wantingformytime]

Hey all! Any1 in the same situation as me every month is heartbreaking with the arrival of AF or bfn.

Any natural success stories, feel like it's never going to happen, I will never get that bfp.

@wantingformytime I'm sorry to hear about your struggles.
I was in the same boat as you 2 years ago, me and my then partner were trying and nothing after a year, I found out I had a cyst on my ovaries and then went in for a laparoscopy, which they diagnosed endeometreosis. They removed the lot but still nothing. Unfortunately it broke up our relationship (along with other things). I was told I had 'unexplained infertility' pretty much they dont know why I can't fall. A year later I was diagnosed with PCOS and thought that's it I can never fall pregnant. I've been with my new partner since july last year and we started having unprotected sex feb this year and by April we were pregnant!!! Unfortunately I had a miscarriage but fell again 2 months later and I'm now 15 weeks pregnant by natural conception!
My story is a bit of a mess but it can happen, even with all the issues I have!

Please try and relax, what I learnt from my first experience was I concentrated too much on the fact it wasn't happening. I would suggest not tracking ovulation and just have sex every other day, make it fun and exciting! I tracked and it became a chore and the sex became forced which ruined our sex life. This time we just had sex, especially thinking in my head I couldn't fall naturally so there was no pressure.
Have date nights and enjoy the fun rather than waiting for that BFP.
I was actually part of Izzy Judds (harry from mcflys wife) video about infertility and her struggles. Her book dare to dream is great, I would urge you to read it.

Sorry for the long post! Good luck xx

Sorry to hear you are going through this, it’s horrible when you get your hopes up every month and then have to face disappointment!
I caught straight away with my 1st pregnancy and was over the moon, unfortunately it ended in a MC at 6 weeks and I was devastated! I then had 18 months of TTC with no luck and I felt so low. My OH and myself then decided to go private and try IVF, which ended up giving us the much wanted BFP that then ended in a chemical pregnancy, again absolutely devastated. We then decided to wait 6 months to try and recover emotionally before trying again. Low and behold 2 months after we fell pregnant naturally, completely by surprise and I am now almost 12 weeks!
I think forgetting about trying and finally chilling out and focusing on other things really helped! I know it’s way easier said than done, but maybe try and have a break and hopefully things will happen for you when you least expect it to! Good luck

I would speak with your GP as they can investigate to see if there is any reasons why your not falling pregnant.. I wasnt actively trying but wasnt preventing it either It technically took 4 years to get pregnant with my 1st, 3years with my 2nd and around 3 years with this one. I have pcos though and can go months without a period before I got pregnant with num3 I hadn't had a period for a year.
It will/can happen but also what alot of women dont actually know is you dont always ovulate every month (I didn't know this untill I got pregnant with my 2nd).

I've never done this but I know alot of women do, they track ovulation etc and try dtd on certain days etc to maximise your chances. Good luck x

Yes it took a year for me to get pregnant the first time. I was 37 when I had my DD. We had decided to book a fertility appointment but then never needed it as found out shortly after that I was pregnant.

Then when DD was just over a year old, we decided to try for number 2, and it happened on the very first go! I have no idea why, as we did nothing different

Not natural but conceived from chlomid after 2.5 years ttc. Good luck op x

Thank you for the comments! Trying to relax and not 'think' about the baby and ttc seems to help, but easier said then done. Xx

I'm 29 and now 35 weeks with my first child. It took my husband and I nearly 2 years to conceive (with a short break of about 3 months where I just couldn't face it!!). We started having fertility testing at the GP and on the day he took his sperm sample in, we found out I was pregnant naturally.

Good luck with it! I still don't know why it took us so long but here we are!

Me and and husband have been ttc nearly 3 years! We done everything from trackers temping vitiams avoided hot baths caffeine you name it we done it, absolutely nothing worked got my period every month we went to our doctors in June this year I had a scan all clear husband had sperm test perfect, then we went though a bit of a rough patch August and September and got by BFP 3 October complete surprise, couldn't be anymore happier, I know it's easier said than done about over thinking but I really do believe that's what helped me get pregnant, wishing you the best of luck your time will come 😊xx

Me & my husband were trying for 11 months then fell pregnant but sadly ended in miscarriage, it’s then took over a year of trying every month, ovulation tests etc and it was heartbreaking. We started fertility tests but I ended up getting pregnant again & I’m now sitting feeding my 16 day old baby.

I used to hate when people told me to relax and it would happen However the month I got pregnant was the one month we didn’t properly try & I thought there was no chance of it happening.

Good luck & I know it’s hard but stay positive as it will happen for you xx
