Needing some advice…

As above said they will have wanted you to have been trying for atleast a year before doing anything. It is also worth noting that depending on your area if you already have a child they will not do anything more to help you for further children, my local area is like this.
I’m in exactly the same boat had my son in September 21 happened the first try. been trying for number 2 since December an nothing 😢 started my period today 💔 starting to think somethings wrong I wasn’t expecting it to take this long, I thought about 3 months.
I’m exactly the same. First baby born August 2023, she happened first time trying. We haven’t been careful since she was born as we wanted a second very close together… been taking it a lot more seriously with ovulation tests for the past 5 months and nothing yet. Like you say, not the longest time to be trying but it’s hard not to worry and feel upset. I’m scared I have secondary infertility 😔 X
No advice, just to tell you that I’m in a similar situation. First baby, we got pregnant the first month trying and it was all straightforward after that, she was even born on her due date in September 2021. We started trying for #2 in December and got pregnant the second month, but had a MMC in March so lost 4 months total. We restarted in April and now I’m on my second cycle since the MMC. If it doesn’t work this month it will be 6 months 😔 I’m feeling very anxious and deflated as I’m turning 39 soon
Thanks everyone for your comments. Certainly made me feel less alone! I also am worried of secondary infertility! I was so heartbroken by the chemical pregnancy and now I can’t get my head past the possibility that something’s wrong. Hope we all have positive outcomes soon x
Sorry to hear about your loss ☹️. The ttc journey can be so hard. So GPs won’t refer you for checks until you’ve been trying for a year usually if you’re under 35. Some people do fudge it somewhat to be seen sooner, but if you can wait the year it may be best. If you go now a GP will just encourage a healthy lifestyle and stress less. Which is so valid, but hard to do. I know too well how hard it can be. Best of luck.
