How long have you been trying? According to your profile it's 4 months? I know it's hard but remember that most couples (90%) conceive within the first year of trying, and half of the remaining 10% conceive within the 2nd year. So really you're not that far into trying yet. You can try ovulation test tracking, BBT tracking, supplements and vitamins to maximize your chances each month

I’ve only been on here for four months we’ve been ttc for around 7/8 months x

@Emily are you tracking ovulation and having sex every other day in your fertile window? Would private fertility testing be possible for you and your partner?

It’s just so disheartening I honestly can’t imagine how the people on here feel after ttc for the amount of time they have, I’ve had three chemicals and honestly it’s doing my mental health the world of bad x

@Charley yes and been having sex EVERY day in the fertile window, private fertility isn’t really affordable right now 👎

@Emily sex daily isn’t always the best, especially if there are male factor infertility issues (not saying there is with you). Every other day gives a chance for sperm to regenerate. If you’ve had 3 miscarriages you can seek testing from your GP (who should refer you to a fertility clinic). Sorry about the MC and don’t give up, it will happen. Maybe just take a bit of time out from trying if you need that for your own mental health x

@Amy thank you! X

@Emily definitely seek help from GP as you have conceived 3 times, so you haven't gone 7 months without getting pregnant, this is a very different situation.

@Charley I’ve been trying to get in for ages I called for an appointment when I found out I was pregnant and they’re under staffed so only do telephone appointments, I haven’t bled since my chemical I haven’t bled for exactly ten weeks and chemical was three weeks ago x

On top of that I had faint positives today but I’ve had all blood work done which was negative tests now negative again!

Don't give up, have a break by all means, it took me 2 years ttc with my third baby, I found out last month. I thought it would never happen again, because I fell pregnant first time with the other 2.

@Sophie thank you so much, and wishing you luck 🤞🏻
