Can't believe it's nearly a year!!!!!!!!
I came off the pill last sept and I can't quite believe it's not happened for us!!
I go back to work after the summer hols in 2 weeks and feel really down that I won't be making an announcement!! I thought we'd cracked it this month!!
Hubby doesn't even realise how down I am because he's always said "If it happens it happens"! easy to say when you start trying but after a year I'm worrying it will never happen and time is running out for me as I turned 40 in May!!
I really didn't want to have to start down the route of going to docs for tests but not sure what else to do now??!!
sorry to be a downer but you're all so supportive and hubby just has no idea how I feel each month when af arrives!
hope everyone is well xx

Aw, hope you're ok, it really is upsetting to see the witch month after month and it seems everyone around you falls pg easily. Just remember you have us ladies here on be if you ever need to chat... sending huge hugs your way xc
I'm sorry you are feeling so down Carioke, I think it hits all of us some days then others we are better able to cope with the whole ttc rollercoaster. My husband doesn't have the sense of urgency I have as he is ten years younger than me, but at 38 I also feel time is running out and I get very sad at the thought. Lets hope you have some good news soon, keep your chin up hun we are all here for you, and eachother.xx
We are the same it's been a year in July since I came off the pill, feeling positive this month but it does get you down the time goes so quick! I went and had an ultrasound scan and blood test which were fine, it's made me a bit more positive.
Maybe just go to your docs for a chat and see what they say if you know everything's ok you never know it might well happen because you won't be worrying, hope this helps a bit and your feeling better soon xx
Completely understand, I was really bad last month just obsessing constantly. We are on month 14 now and hubby is having to keep me motivated, I am ready to give up but he keeps telling me no a few more months.
Hi Carioke.Don't rule out going to see your GP. We first went after 9 months TTC because I was very nearly 35. After a referal and a couple more viists to the hospital I finally started clomid 6 months later. 3 months in I got lucky. If I hadn't gone to ask for help we'd probably still be trying now. The hospital would have moved faster if we'd been trying longer so if you do go to see a doctor lie and add a bit on. xXx
Hey,
Please don't worry hun - I came off the pill in the May and we started TTC in the October - it was 17 months until we conceived.
I felt like I had tried everything. Vitamins etc, keeping a chart of temp and ewcm etc, clear Blue digital ovulation monitor. In the end I decided to stop everything and said to DH that it must be stressing me out too much. I was really disappointed when I hadn't got a Christmas BFP so it was shortly after than I decided to stop. We went on Holiday at the end of April and I really didn't think about TTC - we just had a lovely holiday, plenty of BDing - none of it pre-meditated - and then in the June we found out we were expecting DS
I have only just come back on here so I'm sorry i don't know your history but I genuinely believe for me - having that break away from all the monitoring and symptom spotting was what did the trick.
I hope your BFP comes soon.

Thankyou so much for all your replys ladies, your words of wisdom really do help!
I went for a chat at the docs 2 months ago and she basically said stop worrying about it and it will happen. I don't think I stress about about it all til af arrives, that's when I get down. Even hubby said he'd thought we'd had a good go at it this month, I even used concieve +.
We're going away for a few days next week so I'm going to try and just enjoy not being pregnant and just drink!!!!
hope you are all well xx
Hey KatRob, how you doing? I think we joined at roughly the same time. I am still here too! Its a rollercoaster isnt it. Have you been to the gp? I am not sure if I said but we did and we have male factor issues. We have a referral in Oct, it really does feel better when you can get the ball moving. I am sorry Carioke that your gp said stop worrying that is so annoying. Could you get a second opinion I have realised you have got to get assertive to get anything.
All the best everyone
xx
I think I will go again because you are entitled to help after a year!
I just worry hubby would prob rather think 'oh well it's not meant to be' rather than have to get tested.
I was just saying on another thread how I've started to hate this rollercoaster journey but don't know where to go now!
I'm such a moaner this week!!!
