This isn't fair

[tryingforbabyh]

Hello everyone
Just in case anyone who has graduated onto this board from conception has any words of wisdom or similar experiences
I know I posted previously similar to this when I was 15DPO but for some reason I can't seem to load the thread.
I just need a bit of a rant and to know there's others out there feeling the same or who have had similar experiences. 17 months of TTC number 1, both just into our 30s; sperm fine, hormone levels normal, ultrasound fine, slightly overweight (me). (We are on a nhs list to see someone but god knows when that will be) Cycles range from 26-32 days (although I've only had 1 cycle at each extreme - generally they are 27-29). Always get a positive opk and always get ewcm. And yet still not even a hint of pregnancy :-(
This month I am late (currently CD34 and 16 DPO (+ opk v slightly later this month on day 17) We DTD 5 days in the fertile week this month and 2 days in each of the next 2 weeks. I have never been this late in 2 years of being off contraception and I have never missed a period. Usually my issue is a bit of pre AF spotting so I always know I'm out.
Whilst I have 0 pregnancy symptoms I still equalled late period to finally getting my BFP but no. Negative on both a FRER and a CB early.
Why can't it be my turn?l I have tried all combinations of tracking closely/loosely/not at all. And literally where is my period?!
Sorry for the long ranting post!!

I feel your pain. It took us 2.5 years to get pregnant with DS. All our tests were fine and we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility.

We tried everything and eventually by around the 2 year mark I gave up and started planning our childless life.

We agreed to try our NHS round of IVF and I got pregnant just before that started. It really was a surprise as DH had left for a work trip 2 days before ovulation so I assumed we were out.

It is so disheartening though as month on month it doesn't happen.

Yep, it took us 18 months of trying without a sniff of anything but I'm now 6 weeks along, so fingers crossed this sticks!

I know it's super demoralizing getting your hopes up each month. I kept getting different 'symptoms' in the TWW so I'd be convinced that, oh, that must be a pregnancy symptom this time.... But it wasn't!

I don't know what finally worked for us - I was away for a few months because of a family emergency and then when I returned we conceived straight away, oddly. Maybe our bodies went - hang on a second, the sex has stopped, maybe I'd better get my act together!?

But good luck, you'll get there someday soon I'm sure!
