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 💩

So sorry to hear… July was only 2 months ago, see how it goes in a couple of months. Good luck!

It's not been long! Keep at it. Have sec every night leading up to ovulation too. Make sure the ovulation test lines are BOTH dark and clear. If one is darker then the other than you are not ovulating. Also download flo app

I just want to say I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. I remember it well when trying for our first. The months drag, you convince yourself you have symptoms or your period is a day or two late and then get a negative test. Sending lots of positivity and hope you get your second baby soon 💗 (Also both times I’ve gotten pregnant the sex has been a day or two before ovulation, not on the day of. I used natural cycles on TTC mode which helped with knowing my cycle/body)

Thank you, I just built my expectations a bit too high when our first was easy. That’s completely it, I feel like I convince myself of symptoms then that negative test hits just a little harder. It doesn’t help my periods are ranging from 26-28 days so I have been doing ovulation tests when it flashes on screen to then have sex. I’ll try the apps and see how I go just don’t know how accurate they will be when my periods are hit and miss. Thank you for the positive thoughts I would talk to my family but when you want to keep it a surprised the only outlet is my partner and sometimes (not all men) he just doesn’t get the feelings

We were like this with our first, I came off the pill and had 3-4 “periods” between August and October so it felt like we had been trying and been disappointed so many times! As others have said, July isn’t all that long ago in terms of cycles. I’m convinced we conceived when I checked internally for ovulation discharge (this makes me cringe now!) as it seemed by the time I thought I was ovulating, the window had actually passed

Yes I heard it’s best to do before ovulation and we were everyday up to after the peak when ovulation occurs, it’s just the disappointment, especially when you see people getting pregnant so quickly. The things that makes us go crazy 😝
