    I would live to give you advice to get your bfp, but after 31-32 months of ttc (losing track now but approaching 3 years!) I obviously don't have any answers!

    All I would say is to enjoy the early days, I think I got very obsessive early on and it becomes very draining. ttc should be fun so try not to let it become a chore.

    The other thing I would say is, if you honestly think there may be a problem. Go see your doc.

    We went to docs at 1 yr ttc, we had all the tests that came back ok (these took over a year to go through entire process) all came back ok. It's only when we've paid for a private tests ahead of ivf, we've found out that I have low ovarian reserve which didn't show on hormone tests. (I'm only 32 so this is still heartbreaking for me).



    Good luck with your ttc journey and remember, most couples fall pg in the first year. So your wait may not be much longer xx

    5 months isn't really that long, I know it seems like it's been alot longer but try not to get too stressed out about it, harder said than done believe me I know, but not impossible. It helps if know your cycle too like when your ovulating so you know your doing the deed at the right time, so it maybe worth investing in an ovulation kit. The clear blue one is very accurate and easy to use and indicates a smily face if you're ovulating so no room for confusion. Best of luck ttc xx

    Like the others have said try to enjoy it. I got really stressed about it and that wasnt getting me anywhere. The month hubby and I just enjoyed ourselves we git our bfp. Cycle 8 for us. We used opks as I was oving later than I thought. Also we used conceive plus.

    Hi titchy. I am also on 5 months. I totally know where your coming from. It does start to consume your life if your not careful. I too have had lots of people announcing births and pregnancies in the past couple of weeks and it makes me more broody. But like the others say it's early days and rakes on average 6-9 months to concieve. I am finding the this month the hardest so far but I know if I relax it will help. When I was ttc my 2nd it took 15 months. On that final month I relaxed because knew I had a consultanrs appts booked in. That's when I fell. 

    So try not to stress, stay positive and it will hopefully happen. But anytime your worried get it
