its been a few months now and Im starting to wonder

[Mum2Romone]

Whats going on with my body

We've been ttc for a few months now and nothing

I mean its been 5 months since we really started talking about it and "ttc" Anyone else in the same boat?

We have one son who is 19 months old now so I know we can have a baby.
Im just wondering why its not happening as easily as we thought

[Ahurani]

Im sorry its just not happening I know how you feel

I just read the thread on the breastfeeding. Maybe its that? How long did it take to ttc your son? how is your af?

[Mum2Romone]

We fell pregnant with our son by suprise although we werent using any contraception for about 12 months beforehand. We werent exactly trying though.

my AF returned when i was 8 months Post partum and its been pretty regular ever since. Although I havent been tracking or temping yet
i just thought it would happen by itself
And now its starting to bug me

And to make things worse everyone around me is having babies or falling pregnant ands asking me when we are going to have another one..... Just tonight my brother kept insisting that he knew i was pregnant(which im not) and was mucking around (hes 22) its so frustrating atm

Probably be a good idea to start temping, you may be Oing earlier or later than you think and that is why you are not falling pg. I do think it is a bit concerning that you wern't on any contraception for 12 mths and even though you wern't really ttc you didn't fall pg sooner- you may be having anovulatory cycles (where you don't release an egg) and just happened to 'catch' it the right time and fell pg with your DS.

If it makes you feel better Mum2Romone (probably won't actually) I have now been off the pill for 8 months and nothing here either. I have a 22 mth old son and want to have another one. I am totally frustrated and upset and over it. I honestly didn't think that it would take this long either. Everyone around me too seems to be falling pg in like no time and here I am...still waiting. Guess our time will come but that's still not comforting... Oh well... guess we just have to get back on that horse this month...

I keep telling myself that as about 80% fall pg in the first year...surely my odds are increasing..they have to be!!

[Mum2Romone]

Thanks ladies, Chin up ! It will happen when its supposed to I guess !

I too have been trying with no luck for about 6 months and dont have a previous child. My sis told me to start temping but it is all soooo confusing to me. Anyone feel the same way? my last cycle was a week late and i got so excited that when i got the BFN i was really disappointed. So hard being around all my friends that have babies starting to feel left behind and im trying not to.Arghhhh

I did temping for a little while, but I have annovulatory (no O) cycles so it really didn't help me. I guess at first it is hard but then it sort of becomes second nature I guess. What about OPK's (pee on stick to detect O)?

I was off the pill for 1 year before we started trying. It's only been a couple of months, but I just don't get why it doesn't happen straight away! So frustrating! I'm as cluess as you as why it isn't happening.

Wishing us all a speedy conception. xx

Hey yeah i might try that this month. Dr told me the dates so i just hope she is right and something happens this month. So disheartning when you areover a week late and then BAM af shows up.

Try not to stress too much hon (I know it's hard). It took us 5 months of trying to conceive DS, I was guessing when I was ovulating and working around those dates, but each month nothing happened. Then I bought an app for my iphone where you record your AF etc and it predicts the dates where you are most likely to get pregnant. We DTD on each of those 4 days and voila we got pregnant that month. Maybe it's worth starting to look closely at your cycle and see what's happening...

But that said it really isn't unusual for it take awhile to fall pregnant, I know people who have fallen the first month of the pill and others who it took 18 months (with 6 months of trying at the end). I think because our society is so used to birth control we expect that the minute one stops taking it they will fall pregnant, but in reality there are a lot of things that have to align for conception to occur, that's why it really is a miracle. Yes, before the pill people did have bigger families, but their families weren't that big and they weren't falling pregnant straight away, everytime iykwim? Anyway, that's my little rant! But I guess what I'm trying to say is don't be so hard on your body, it is very unlikely that there is anything wrong, sometimes those miracles just take a little longer than we expect.

Good luck! x

Hi mum2romone i hope you are successfull soon i know it is really frustrating and the longer it takes the more frustrated and stressed you are! i fell pregnent with my first DS straight away and so many people i knew fell pregnant quickly and alot by accident didnt really think it was hard to get pregnant untill we tried for our second and it took us 12 months felt like the longest year of my life!
My doc told me to stop thinking and relax it will happen we took over a business and my focus was on that not on getting preg and hey presto i was pregnant dont know if he was right or if it was a coincidence.
We are know trying for our lucky last baby been 8 months i keep trying to focus on other things but that 2 week wait after ovulation is a killer cant help but wonder if it happened this month then dissapointed when find out it didnt! And you really notice all the other people that just fall straight away and it doesnt seem fair but it will happen!
really hope you and everyone else that has posted here fall soon its very dissheartening to keep getting that neg result

It's called Woman Calendar, from memory it was about $8 or $9 but worth it. It has so many different things that you can record, from temps, to cramps, mucus etc.
