Number of cycles to conceive

Just looking for some reassurance really… I’ve just come on which makes that 10 unsuccessful “trying” cycles (across about 8-9 months) - I came off the mini pill in June last year and I’m just a bit deflated. I’m 28, my partner is 31 - we’re both relatively healthy. Any stories of similar which have positive endings?

It's not going to be 2024

We are just coming out of our second early loss and said we won't try this cycle till the next first period after the MC. However there was a small part of me hoping just a small maybe it can happen, as it's the last chance for a baby in 2024. But I've started a little spotting so guess it's definitely not happening...

The hardest thing about TTC baby #2

Whenever I take my son for a walk, I always get questions like “Have you just got the one?” “Has he got any brothers or sisters?” “Are you going to have any more?” And you just want to reply… “I’m trying, with all my strength I’m trying” But instead I just try and laugh it off 😔

Baby dancing on cycle day 10,12,14?

My husband is having performance anxiety and is currently struggling to "release" I'll say. He's working with a urologist to figure something out. I'm thinking of still doing the LH test strips but trying on cycle day 10,12,14 and praying it works. It's very frustrating for him as he feels like a failure and I'm dis...

What should I put on his Etchnicity?

I’m filipino and my husband is white. I get confused on what would be his ethnicity like filling up forms. I don’t think there was an option to say Filipino/white or Asian/white. What do you think? My husband says he looks more white than asian. I couldn’t really tell.

Second baby?

I have a 9mo and she is relatively easy! Maybe it's my aging body or some health issues that make me feel extremely burnt out so I can't really blame it on my kiddo.
