Losing hope now.

Try not to worry yet! Give it another 6 months and try not stress as that can throw your hormones. If by a year you still haven’t fallen I would speak to a gp about tests for you both and go from there x

@Rhiannon okay! Thank you!

Change your eating habits and then try the mucinex thing it worked for me. I’m pregnant with my mucinex baby as we speak.

What’s the mucinex thing?

I wouldn’t stress. That will make things worse imo

@Shakya what’s mucinex?

It’s a medicine that helps treat colds and flu, it can thin out your cervical mucus and they say that can help you fall pregnant. Personally didn’t work for me but everyone is different. I just wanted to say it takes the average couple closer to 12 months to fall pregnant and we only have a 20-25% chance of falling pregnant every month so try not to stress yourselves too much lovely. I know easier said than done! It took us 4 years to have our daughter! I’ve got my fingers crossed it happens soon for you both xx

Hi Maisy-Jane, it’s hard isn’t it? I know the feeling, whether you’ve been trying for 3 months, 6 months or a year +, it’s shit seeing negative after negative. It is very normal to take 6 months - 1 year, so I wouldn’t worry until after the 1 year mark (easier said then done, I know). I would consider getting a full blood panel, including your thyroid, after this, as well as an internal scan for yourself and a semen analysis for your partner, I would do this privately as the wait times can be awful on the NHS. Then if further help is needed, you can take your reports to your GP. But hopefully you won’t need to. Everything happens for a reason, even though it doesn’t feel it right now, it will work out for you, I’m sure. I was due to start clomid medication on my next cycle but found out I was pregnant yesterday after a year + of trying for no.2. Sending luck xx

Something else to bear in mind, actively trying is considered every other day throughout the whole cycle, not just ovulation. (Bar period week of course) without your partner masterbating in between. X

You could always spend 150 gbp on a hertility health test - they look at ovarian reserve / amh , check 4 pcos and many other things. I highly recommend

@Shannon yeah we’re doing it everyday if not every other day in general, not just in ovulation window. And he doesn’t masterbate at all to be honest lol. If he wants to and starts doing it I just step in without hesitation lol x

Don’t lose hope ! I was having problems getting pregnant for around 6 months because I had pcos but once I started losing weight and stopped stressing about it I immediately got pregnant

Manifest it as best as you can. It will happen! It just always takes longer than you hope. The month I conceived I got some less than great news as my cycle was a ridiculously long 45 days (for me) and my bloods came back with raised testosterone levels. I thought I couldn't get pregnant. We had 2 months before being considered infertile and it was devastating. Thankfully, that month – month 10, I got my positive unexpectedly. Just one thing I'd say, you'd probably be better having sex every other day rather than every day as there's been the odd study that suggests the odds are better when sperm is given some time to regenerate. You're both young and assuming there's no hormonal/sperm issues, it's just a waiting game.
