I wonder is it something to do with my husband on anti-depressants? I read some where that you can't get pregnant and the medication does something to the sperm? I think I need to get a plan, how do you buy one? Going to start again in the new year ... How are you feeling hun?

I'm sorry she showed her face! Do you use opks or temp to try and pinpoint ovulation? To get a plan you go to the main page and pick ttc a girl and then purchase whichever plan you'd like. I found it to be very helpful so I could have a special plan just for me, especially since I have pcos and was/am on medication for it. I also liked having access to Atomic on a daily basis. I don't know for sure if sperm can be effected by antidepressants, but I myself have been on antidepressants for many years and that has not affected fertility. I'm feeling alright, having a lot of symptoms, but it makes me feel better in that I'm still pregnant. Very scared of a miscarriage again or another loss. I think until the 20 week scan I will always be on edge, but trying to enjoy it as best I can and trying to stay positive!

You can buy a plan in the "membership and plans" section, there is a button at the top of the page that goes to it.

The poopy thing about TTC is that your progesterone goes up in the 2ww and that causes very similar symptoms to pregnancy because progesterone is also behind pregnancy symptoms. It's even been proven that women are hungrier and can't stick to diets as well in the 2WW due to the prog. Some people are tireder, and others can't sleep (me!!) So it can end up where you get your hopes up thinking this is it, but it's just the prog rise in 2ww. :/

It does take people doing nothing to sway, an average of 3-6 months to fall pregnant. So while it is hard when you've always had quick times to conception, 3-6 months is really not outside of the norm.

I suspect you ovulated much later than you think, considering that you thought you were 15 DPO on the 24th and AF didn't arrive till today (right???) cAn you think back about 14 days or so? Did you continue having attempts after that? You may just not have been in with a viable attempt if you stopped BD when you thought you ovulated and then did not O for a week after that.

I did have another attempt after that atomic 4 days after but didn't think anything of it because I thought I was pregnant already. That's 're-assuring that it takes on average 3 to 6 months to conceive, because the Dh is on anti depressants I thought it was something to do with this, because he wasn't on them with my last 3 pregnancies.

I was at my gp and she Said would prescribe Clomid if I wanted, should I take them for my next attempt do you think?

I always recommend Clomid if you can get it!!!
