Takes up to a year on average for healthy couples! About 90% will conceive within the first year, and half of the remaining 10% in the 2nd year.

It’s taken us 10yrs to finally conceive.

I’m trying again at 35, this will be our 4th cycle

We have been trying for just over a year for our second, nothing as of yet but I have just started having reflexology and have been properly tracking my temperatures for around 2 months.
Are you doing this?
We conceived after 2 cycles with our first, so I was quite naive in thinking it would just happen again quickly second time around.
My GP said around 75% of couples conceive in the first year (35+years old) and 90% within two years.
It’s such an emotional rollercoaster xx

Question…

If you could live your life again with the same knowledge you have now, would you choose to have children?

Take out of the equation who your children are.

I had such a blessed life before children. And I feel like overall, I’m definitely a more stressed, angry and sad person than I was before. If I knew what I knew now, I don’t think I would do it. I know that sounds really harsh but I think the people who decide not to have kids are the ones who have really done their research and had proper hands on experience dealing with kids for extended periods of time.

I think you’d be lying if you didn’t have this thought before, even just got a fleeting second of your life….

Why is it so hard

Why is TTC the most mentally draining thing😭 I wish I could just be excited to be trying and for what I hope is to come in the future but it has taken over every thought I have

Anyone else super shattered and nauseous in 3-5 weeks pregnancy?

Wow I started feeling huge fatigue and nausea at 10 dpo, I’m 12 dpo and I can’t remember feeling it this early last pregnancy I had with my son. Anyone else feeling it super early on? I know it can be very normal. I’ve got a full on but rewarding job driving around schools doing Music Therapy and mental health support and I’m wondering how much I’ll need to step back on and how soon. Going to take it day by day week by week!

PCOS and IVF

Anyone around 32 years old with PCOS and do IVF? Just decided to proceed with doing IVF and my doctor recommends a frozen transfer since I have PCOS and at an increased risk for OHSS. Anyone have any advice or success stories for me?!
