Has anyone dealt with infertility and trying to conceive?

[Anonymous]

I’m venting …. we’ve been trying for about 10 months now and literally it feels like a chore to the point of we’re both tired practically trying every other night. I’ve been off my birth control for over a year since we’ve been married. Every time I take a test and it’s negative it makes me feel horrible because I want children. I’ve tried every ovulation and general tracker there is. My doctor said I have unexplained fertility and If after Christmas I haven’t conceived then we can look at IVF options which makes me feel like a horrible person especially at 28. It’s really hard for me seeing a lot of post where a lot of close people around me are pregnant And we’re struggling. My parents know now so my mom finally stopped asking me when I broke down crying and told her.

Don’t give up or give up on hope. Keep trying and use those times of trying to be romantic, close, and enjoy being intimate with each other. Once kids come, the intimacy and romance is less frequent.

As for the issue, did you receive the covid or HPV vaccine? Both of those can have pretty bad effects on fertility. Hormone imbalance can also effect ovulation as well as the ability for the embryo to attach. I would look into those and possibly talk to a naturopath or nutritionist. I’ve met many women who were given absolutely no hope for getting pregnant and then through proper nutrition, they healed their body and became pregnant every time with successful delivery.

What ever you do, don’t feel like it’s your fault. Work the problem and seek advice from alternative sources. Don’t give up.

Thanks and yea we’re trying If hasn’t been fun. We’re going back to being romantic and intimate since we haven’t been lately since we were really focused but yea. I work within a hospital it was required or I could lose my job within my state If I didn't get the Covid vaccine. Although I’m trying to hope that that wouldn’t be a factor. I will look into a possible nutritionist thank you. I’m trying not to just hard …. but we’re not giving up.

It's either meant to happen or it's not, stop keeping track of when you ovulate, what your body temperature is blah blah blah blah blah. Enjoy each other, make love, fuck. If you're fortunate enough to become pregnant enjoy it and if you're not continue to love each other

It took 11 months for me to get pregnant with my 3rd baby. It will happen when it's suppose to. My only tips are use ovulation test strips and track temperature for bbt. There are good apps like premom that are helpful too

It took a couple extra attempts with my second. The timing was off. We timed it a week later (the week before my cycle was supposed to start as opposed to the 2 weeks). Presto prego.

I never took bc though.

It’s not abnormal to need one year to get pregnant. I have friends with three kids, the mother told me that the first kid took 13 months, the 2nd was conceived the first month of trying and the 3rd one took 5 months.

Was your partner tested too? You only write about yourself.

Nope. I had my tubes tied a few years ago.

I never thought it was so difficult... did you take the covid shot?

[Asker]

Yea but I don’t think it has anything to do with that

Don’t take any more shots and stay away from vaxxed people if possible
