In this journey the best advice I can give you is to to put all your effort into finding peace and tranquility in the life you have, be greatful to be alive. Spend time with your hubby. Enjoy the seasons, find a hobby, have girls nights, read a good book, take mini vacations.

Dont let TTC control and run your life because it can and will take a hold of you.

Couldn't have said it better than shaelovey! Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I will definately try and find some other interests to keep me busy and my mind off trying.

I would like some advice on what I should be doing to increase our chances? We are being quite frequent, at what I think is the most opportune times and using the "best" positions etc but should I be taking my temperature as well? Or using ovulation tools??

Thank you everyone :)

Shaelovey is exactly right. I felt the exact same way you did. I even started to get jealous when my freinds started getting pregnant. It is for sure a process and just letting go of the control of the situation is the hardest hurddle to cross. Good luck you!

Using ovulation predictor kits can be very helpful. They let you know when you are about to ovulate approx.24-36 hrs before. There is also a great book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, you can learn a ton by reading that! I know I did!

Thanks Jessica, that's really helpful! I will try the ovulation predictor to start with :)

This may sound silly but I started using an app on my android to track my cycle. I'm really terrible at remembering specific dates and details. The app helped me identify trends and be more educated when I spoke with my OB.
I've heard that some drs won't see you until you've tried a year. Mine, who specializes in infertility but works at a general OBGYN clinic, started testing at 6 months. Her theory is that if something isn't right, passing time probably won't help but will only result in more frustration and wasted time. My first indication was irregular cycles then I wasn't able to detect ovulation using the tests.
As several others mentioned, try not to let this control your life. Stay busy and focus on enjoying the time you have.

I am in the exact same boat, I also have been TTC for three months with no success. I have just been doing the typical strategies of strategic timing and taking ovulation tests. It's hard not to stress about it though!
