How long did it take to conceive?

I’m worried that I’ve had 6 cycles now since being cleared to TTC after my ectopic treated with methotrexate. My cycles are regular but getting shorter and nothing happening. How long did it take you after an ectopic with methotrexate?

PMS

Anyone else get so much more annoyed around that time of the month than they used to? I also have PCOS so never actually had periods before, these have returned in the last 6 months and oh my god! I am either super emotional or I want to kill my husband for literally everything!

How hard is baby no2?

I’m thinking about having another baby. I struggled a lot with the first, I had post natal depression and found everything so difficult, my Mat leave was a year of trying to survive.

Not currently ttc, but sad…. anyone else feel this way?

I feel heart broken knowing every month I have the chance to get pregnant but I’m not💔 Hubby agreed to start trying this spring but I can’t help but feel this sense of sadness and disappointment until then. I’d be ready to start trying now, until then, this is going to be hard
