Not falling pregnant after MC in March

When we started our TTC journey last year, we got pregnant relatively quickly. Although in both situations they led to a MC. Both took roughly one to three cycles, and now it's already five cycles and we're still not falling pregnant. :( As the time goes by, it gets even more difficult to keep hopeful and the disapp...

Gym - 8DPO

So training today, I train regularly 5 times a week but today at approx 8DPO I felt soo weak, everything felt like such a struggle I’m used to sweating a lot more in my luteal phase but don’t usually feel that bad. Good nights sleep. Same pre-workout foods etc so nothing otherwise obvious…. Has anyone had this and...

Vent

Ngl seeing all these positive pregnancies on here is making me upset cause I want to conceive so bad. I’ve been trying this month. I can’t test yet as I don’t know when I’ve ovulated. I just got off the patch last month so I doubt I’ll get pregnant. Congratulations everyone I hope I can join yall soon 😭.

Semen analysis

Hi, my partners semen analysis couldn’t be carried out due to “too little of a sample” they said there wasn’t enough sperm to assess the motility and morphology. Has anyone been int his position before and does this mean he is producing extremes low- 0 sperm ?

How many months?

Out of curiosity, I was wondering how many months you all have spent TTC? I feel like I keep hearing of so many people getting pregnant after 1-3 months of trying. I’m 6 months in and it’s making me so nervous. I guess I felt like within 1-2 months I’d have been pregnant and obviously that’s not the case. I feel li...

I need to vent!

I was diagnosed with PCOS 5 years ago, and in the scan 5 years ago I was told there there was lots of cysts in my ovaries and in my tubes and that it would be a very, very slim chance that I could ever have children.
