Looking for success stories?

I know it's a bit of an odd one to post on the pregnancy forum as I'm still TTC (baby 1) but just looking for some success stories of people that tried for over a year and eventually got there naturally? I've had 13 cycles now without even a sniff of BFP but after the first set of tests the docs can't see why :-( Feeling incredibly low as I was convinced this cycle was the one (although no idea why) TIA x

Are you having sex regularly?

Every other day means there are always live sperm to fertilise the egg. If you are tracking ovulation incorrectly and throwing everything at that time, you may miss the window.

I recommend the Ferti-Lily, or if you search on eBay ‘silicone conception cup’. Granted, I get pregnant easily (3 MC this year so staying pregnant is a problem), but I have caught on the two cycles I used this. Currently 7 weeks with a sticky-looking baby with a strong heartbeat.

Yep fairly regular - last month was CD5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19 and then a gap till 24. Used the ferti Lily this month on some of those occasions but not all. My cycles are regular 26-28 days with ovulation around 14/15. So pleased to hear that you've got a sticky bean 👏🏻

Tried for 18 months with first and 3 for second. On both of the cycles we conceived, I used the Clear Blue ovulation tests which detect fertile days as well as the peak. Hadn't used them in any other cycles and they showed my 'peak' as a day or two earlier than the cheaper tests which I usually used plus used alongside them. Unsure if it was just coincidence of course.

18 months - hope for me then fingers crossed!! I've been used cb advanced for about 9 months and last month I also did the strip tests as a confirmation

From what I’ve heard, it’s not beneficial to have sex every day. Better to have sex every second day, for better quality sperm.

Took me 8 years to finally fall pregnant naturally! Sadly ended in a miscarriage, but that was 2 cycles after starting conceive plus, was absolutely amazed!

I'm now 25+5 having conceived on clomid x
