NEED SOME ADVICE (TTC)

So, I’ve been trying to have a baby for about a year. My husband and I have been married for about a year (last August) and we both are just patiently waiting to be pregnant, we aren’t in a rush to have a baby but we both want it.

Last june I was pregnant for 7 weeks and then miscarried. When I found out I was pregnant I wasn’t sure when I got pregnant because my last period was in April so the doctor said I could have been 12 weeks. Then found out it stopped growing around that time (7W).

Now, we are still trying a year in. After I miscarried we were just having casual sex. Not as consistent as we should to get pregnant (every week) and have sex on a ovulation day. Which I was tracking based off of my CM. About a month ago we came to an agreement of really trying during my fertile window (every other day) to see if it’ll boost my chances. So really it’s only been a month of REALLY TRYING.

As a teenager, I had VERY irregular periods but heading into my 20’s I get them close to or on time.

Just needing some advice on things I should do or maybe my husband. Maybe it’s just because we don’t try enough? But I feel like a year of just having sex it would have happened by now? I believe I can get pregnant because I did once but I just don’t know why it isn’t happening or hasn’t happened yet.

I swore this month was the month, we went on vacation and were relaxed and chill, about everything. I even drank a little to take my mind off of things. We had sex the way where suppose to. And I SWORE I WAS PREGNANT. I was CONVINCED. My husband noticed my boobs were bigger and they were so sore, and I was so EXHAUSTED... I made up in my mind that I was pregnant and he was super excited too. Today, I just started my period again and we are very confused.

I’ve never really had any issues in my body other than being a little overweight and being “boarder-line-diabetic.” But we are both healthy. Our diets aren’t the greatest but there shouldn’t be any main reason for not being able to conceive. At least nothing I know of. My mom had four kids (young), my grandma and my dads mom. The only thing is that my dads mom had thyroid issues and my cousins have PCOS. So I don’t know if this could be a genetic thing?

Just really looking forward to having a baby. Thinking about going to get a check up for the both of us, but I really don’t know if we just aren’t doing it enough? I’ve done SO MUCH research and it’s making me go a little crazy lol. I know it’s going to happen eventually, I’m just like why am I still not pregnant after all the sex we’ve had... it’s killing me. Just trying to hold out. It’s just hard when you really want something. I just needed to post this because I know there are other ladies out there who struggle with getting pregnant as well!

Just wanting to hear encouragement or stories or advice! Looking for hope. Thank you! 💕💕💕
