Only first month TTC and already going mad doing tests etc and fake symptoms :( I just convinced myself it was going to happen to me so quickly :(

I promised myself every month I will only test the day before my period is due, and everyday in the 2 week wait I would: go for a walk with my partner to talk about anything other than a possible pregnancy, take a nice shower/bath, and have a little treat like a cookie or bubble tea to keep myself on track. It's hard but it's so worth it c

It’s just taken me 9 months to conceive my second child after conceiving my first by fluke. We were tracking ovulation, having sex every day for 7/8 days either side of ovulation. I was going crazy. I thought I had become infertile. Booked a private IVF appointment. Then bang positive pregnancy test one month. Who knows why it takes some time. But it’s more common than you think. It’ll happen

It might still happen for you quickly. But it can take the average couple with no fertility issues up to 1 year. So try not to put too much pressure on yourselves

@Hannah thank you for reminding us of this 🩷
