TTC for 9 months :(

[kristenann]

Hi, i am on cycle 9 now as af just hit me

wanted to ask what are the chances of this happening naturally now?

also, with regards to ttc - i had 1 ovulatory cycle and my first cycle i just didnt try at the right times, so really am i on cycle 7 instead of 9?

does anyone know of or have success stories for using a menstrual cup for conception? I am considering trying.. should i put some conceive plus inside the menstrual cup for the sperm and then insert obviously and leave it for 12hrs?

also from cycle 1 thru to now 8 (9th is upcoming).. my cycles have got shorter - from 34 days to now 30. is this a sign good/bad in anyway? i know when i was younger i had dead perfect 28 day cycles so i kind of see this as positive

Hey hun.
There is definitely hope. My SIL fell pregnant after 1 year of trying. After about the 9th month cycle she stopped being so hard on herself and chilled out just started going out enjoying herself and it happened.
I think we put too much pressure on ourselves when TTC. It’s such an emotional journey.
My fiancé and I are taking vitamins to help us maybe worth giving hem a go?
Chin up hun it will happen when it’s meant to x

hiya yes it happened for us on the 11th cycle but sadly ended in miscarriage, I also thought I would never see those 2 pink lines, it was the best feeling ever. If anything it makes you appropriate it more. We are trying again and I am getting ready for another long journey. Like chattychar said above, it only happened to me when I gave up , probably that relaxed me more. How old are you? I am 40 and time is really running out for me

Im 29. I know in context it sounds silly to feel too old right? I dont wanna hit 30 and not be pg.

hey kristenann, I just turned 40 and we have been trying since 39 and I always said to myself I would be pregnant by 40, and than thats it. But to be honest turning 40 wasn't that scary and I have changed my mentality and will keep trying until it happens. With your age there is more chance of it happening so keep positive and don't think about your age x

Hi, I recently read about Preseed and a lot of success stories first time couples have tried it, maybe have a go?

We started trying when I was 28. I'll be 32 this year. I thought turning 30 would have been difficult but it really wasn't in the grand scheme of things.

9 months also isn't that long. We were 3 years in total and lots of ladies on here try for much longer. Try not to be too hard on yourself.
