Please don't feel like a failure, it's completely normal for healthy couples to take up to 2 years to conceive. You can do everything right and just not conceive that month for no real reason. I'm pretty confident I've got the timing right in 6-9 cycles and am yet to conceive. I've got friends who took 9-12 months to conceive and others who conceived on their first try, it really does seem to be a lottery sometimes.

I know right, just feel so emotional this round. I felt every symptom you know. You have such a good way with words 😭

It's just so much easier to reassure other people I find! I say these things and know they're true but then still feel down when AF comes. It's just an emotional situation isn't it ♥️
 
I think I can feel my period arriving 🙈🙄 I literally had a tiny window this month with my partner working away.. annoying.

What’s helped me a bit, is listening to that podcast and listening to the fertility dr. It really brings me back down to Earth after emotionally spiralling. Sometimes you beat yourself up about drinking coffee, having a glass of wine, trialling all sort of supplements, thinking shall we try the sperm friendly lube, throw money at a fertility monitor!! He speaks sense and makes you realise they aren’t everything. Sometimes it just takes longer.. the most important thing is having regular sex throughout your cycle not just when you think your peak is, as it could be completely wrong and you’re missing it. I know it’s not ideal, but it did help me and stop me blaming myself.
 
What's the podcast @Lola UK?

I'm 7DPO today and resisting the urge to test by the end of the week. Not due on until 4th Aug. With my first pregnancy I was feeling morning sickness by about 10dpo. It's only our 2nd month trying but husband also had covid too so wondering about the affect it might have had on his swimmers.
 
My bbt app has now changed the day i ovulated 😩 it said I was 5dpo but now I’m 3dpo as my temps have changed..??!! I still think I’m 5dpo but freaking out that we missed our chance. As others have said, I guess the key is trying to have sex throughout the cycle instead of just your ‘fertile window’.. looking back at my charts when I had my 2 BFP, we had regular sex throughout my cycle but I must say… 12 months in and sex is more of a chore now so we really only do it around ovulation lol

CD47 and a negative test today and still no sign of AF.. think my body is just messed up at this point😅 ngl I’m happy it’s not a positive this month as I’ve Just handed my notice in at work and start a new job next month and it would just be such bad timing atm
 
God I'm so confused, I've had another 'peak/high' reading today, that's 2 days on the trot now, this has never happened. I thought I would ovulate today but is it tomorrow now? I've been doing this for 16 months now and it's there's always something that baffles me 😂 I did have covid 2 weeks ago, could it be that?

Do you usually have long cycles? Maybe you've just skipped one AF randomly

I think COVID messed me up, had red spotting from 4DPO until AF. 7DPO next cycle now and things seem fine.

I just went back over my cycles and before I have my 2 vaccinations my cycles we're high/peak instead of a small random surge, the vaccine defo messed my cycles up and maybe having covid counterbalanced it again? We shall see in the TTW! I've never had spotting before my periods, I just get god awful cramps, headache and proper bitchy 😂
 
I thought this month would be the month it happens, but now I'm not so sure. I'm waking up feeling sick, my boobs are massive and im having to go to bed at 7 in the evening but I don't know if I'm just trying to convince myself I'm pregnant. AF is due on Sunday and I'm so worried I'm going to have a period and it's another month with a BFN.

I came off contraception in January and had my first period in May, then had another in June but now my body is just like nah, we won’t bother this month🤣

Hopefully you get your next one soon and things start to settle down!

I feel the same - I'm due on a couple of days after you so daring to dream but then thing it'll be really gutting if I get another BFN 😭 fingers crossed this is our month, we've got no reason to think it's not yet 🤞🏻💕

Readings have dropped right off now and my peak was yesterday on CD14, told my husband I've scheduled him in for the rest of the week 😂
 
For those who have ttc for a while.. do you ever struggle to envision yourself actually having a baby? How do you keep that motivation/hope going? It’s been so long that the thought of me actually having a full term pregnancy with a baby to hold at the end of it seems unrealistic! I focus so hard on trying to get pregnant but then the hard work of maintaining that pregnancy kicks in mentally. Sorry if this makes no sense… just some rambling thoughts I’m having to myself this Friday morning!
