I can't believe how difficult this is!!
Hi everyone, I'm new here! Lol
My husband and I have been trying for a baby since August last year...well, in honesty up until February this year we hadn't been "trying" on a daily basis and I wasn't too worried that I hadn't been getting pregnant because I put it down to that. BUT (lol) we have been trying seriously since Feb, and I am slightly disappointed that it hasn't happened straight away! ? I know it's probably irrational to be getting worried, but I am fairly young-ish (26), my periods are as regular as clockwork...and...where is this baby!!!? I don't want to get too worked up about it because I know it can mess with the whole fertility thing. You grow up thinking it just takes the one time to fall pregnant...if only, hey!? I can't help but feel there's something wrong with me. Most of my friends are on their 2nd or 3rd baby... Omg it's so frustrating. I've worked out when I'm fertile and ovulating... I just don't know what else I can do. I'm not the most patient of people as well, so that doesn't help! Lol

I'd give it a couple more months, maybe try ovulation kits to find out when you're ov-ing, then if you're worried maybe go and see your GP. Not that I think for a minute that anything's wrong, but it might put your mind at rest. Stay relaxed if you can, I find this difficult but keeping your mind off ttc and carrying on with interests is important I think )
Were you on the pill? This can take some time to leave your system. Now you are trying properly you may find you get your BFP soon. I've heard quite a feel people talking about using the ovulation kits - have you thought about trying those?
Please try not to get to worked up and worried over it all - enjoy the bd'ing while you can! xx
It is hard, and can be so demoralising. Eating healthly, bding around ov, all these are small changes that can really increase your chances.
I wish I HD the magic answer, If I did I would be on number two by now, even when you have the ups and down there are us "friends" on here who have been going through the same up and downs and will listen when you need to rant or cry, when your imagining symptoms, when you test at 7 dpo and cry when it's bfn, and will be sook jealous but happy for you when you get your bfp and leave us to join pregnancy.
I really wish you the best of luck and say what everyone says.... Maybe this month will be YOUR month!

I think I will try the ovulation kits if there is no news at the end of this month. Is there any particular brand that you would recommend, or are they all pretty much the same?
I was on the pill, I had been for 5 years, I came off it 18 months ago and my periods went back to "normal" straight away (very painful! Great being a girl, isn't it!? Lol).
Thanks again girls... x
I'm so pleased to have discovered this website, it's great to get these things off my chest because I want to keep it relatively private, so I don't want to tell my family/friends that we're trying because I want it to be a big surprise. But, I now feel like I need to talk to people about little issues I'm having. x
I recommend a cleaR blue fertility moniter they are about 65 quid on amazon and then you just buy the sticks that go with it every month, plus it's more accurate then opks as it's tests two hormones rather then one like opks do xx
Lady, i am in the same boat ... wasn't trying hard but when I dint get pregnant the past few months I am starting to get worried. I have always had normal cycles, been on pill for 3 months only. ets hope we do get pregnant soon
I even considered going to Dr but decided to wait.
DH is taking some supplements which i think may had affected it. But he promised me to stop them. I hope he will :S
We're not ttc yet but I'm terrified of starting as I know each bfn will kill me a little bit so I'm in awe of those who do. Good luck to you all xx
hopefully youl get your bfp soon
