Fertility second time around

Is anyone else struggling to get pregnant second time around? I am 34 and we have been trying since July, taking the tablets doing the ovulation tests and nothing. Just looking for solidarity, I know people are in worse situations than me and that must be horrible but it all just feels pretty 💩
