I admire both your self control! Fingers crossed for you!
Does it make any difference how long you lie down after sex? I normally try and just go to sleep but we had sex early evening so I’ve been up and about. I did lie down for the first 5-10 minutes with my hips on a cushion and leg in the air
I try to lie down for 15 mins but not always possible. I don’t think it matters tbh, more of a psychological thing!Does it make any difference how long you lie down after sex?

I was listening to a podcast and a fertility doctor said something like 5-10% of the sperm is ‘shot up’ (sorry sounds so horrible
) into the place where it could possibly reach an egg, lying down/waiting to get up/not peeing are all just psychological things we do but in reality that sperm won’t make it that far towards the egg now!I am really upset today. I feel like someone’s punched me in the gut. Was chatting to a friend randomly and she was saying how she will start trying again in the new year and complaining about an issue she had limits her amount of babies she can have in the future.she’s been pregnant twice in the time I’ve been trying. Now i haven’t told her we’re trying because honestly she won’t understand and I feel like a failure . No one can unless they are in our shoes. I dunno why this has hit me so hard today but I know she will get pregnant again immediately and it’s gonna hurt so much 
And then I realise I’m such a lousy friend!

Bless you. I know exactly how you feel and it’s very easy to feel envy in situations like this but try to turn your thoughts around and think to yourself if she can do it so can I!

I feel a bit of a fraud on this thread, I have an 8 year old son with my ex partner. I don’t remember a lot of his early years due to domestic violence. My ex used to tell me I was a rubbish mum etc and i guess some of those things have stuck with me. I’m now in a happy relationship and have been with my partner for 2 and a half years. We are currently trying to conceive and paid for private tests last year and they said every thing was fine and it may take a couple of months. Fast forward to now still nothing we both underwent more investigation with the NHS and they have said there is no reason why it won’t happen it’s currently unexplained.
I don’t really know why I’m here, I guess I just need to get out how I feel. I do feel guilty for feeling this way as I know I have a child, but I also feel like my partner would make a great dad and I just want that chance to be a good mum and have the happy family memories.

Hey
I’m sorry to read that you’ve suffered with your ex, although glad to hear that you’re out of it and in a healthy relationship now 
You have absolutely no reason to feel like a fraud or feel guilty, everyone is welcome here, whether you have kids already or not the journey can be just as difficult 🤍 it sounds to me like you’re already a great, strong mum just by getting yourself and your son out of a horrendous situation. Please always feel free to let out your feelings here - it’s a great anonymous soundboard with people that get you
xxThank you I didn’t really expect anybody to reply to it. Just need to get it out of my head. I don’t think it helps that after I found the courage to leave my ex. I carried on as normal and then everything hit me and I ended up with PTSD, anxiety and depression. I worry about a lot of things now when back then I ignored so much. Because there is no apparent medical reason why it won’t happen I get in my head it’s what I deserve for being so stupid to everything going on in my life.Hey

15DPO, BFN. Going to take a break from TTC for a while I think 
Can’t tell you how many day dreams I’ve had of announcing to friends and family at Christmas 
sadly not to be. Hopefully 2022 will be our year
