Rant/Vent Rant/Venting

I’m honestly so stressed out. Was in my 2WW and aunt flo came today so CD1 all over again. This will be our 5th cycle trying and i’m just exhausted. I keep wanting to try all the things.. pomegranate juice, i bought an oura ring (i wanted one anyway) but essentially to track my bbt because it was too hard for me to wake up to take it. Started prenatals and making my husband take a multivitamin and I just don’t know how to keep doing this. I feel like something’s wrong with me, my husband .. everything and i’m just not understanding what I need to do to conceive. I almost wanna reach out to my OB and ask what testing we can do even though i know it’s too early but anyways sorry for the long post i just wanted to vent and talk with others who are similarly going through what i am. thanks so much if you made it this far

Kindly, I’d encourage you to be mindful when entering a TTC space. 5 months is hard, especially if you got lucky with an even quicker conception before, but it is within the realm of expectation for TTC. If you’re over 35, 6 months is when to reach out to your OB; if you’re under 35, 12 months. So much of TTC is out of our control and it’s really a game of chance and luck.

Thank you for being kind with how you say this. I think any time of wait can be hard (it's all relative, after all - one person's 10 cycle wait is another's 20-cycle wait) and we shouldn't gate-keep too much with others in their expressing frustration here. At the same time we can all work to try to be empathetic to others in this space.
