How to count cycles ttc

Ch

This may be a weird question, but I am wondering how you would count your total number of cycles trying to conceive if your pregnancy ended in miscarriage?

I’m currently in my 11th month ttc, but I got pregnant in my 6th month (and had an early MC.) My gut feeling is that while I’ve technically been ttc for 11 months, for purposes of fertility concerns, it would be more like 5 months.

What do you all think? Thank you!
