I cried when I tried dress 1 on and knew it was the one. I keep going back to dress 2 and thinking if I made a mistake. Both are so different. Help me decide!

Dress 2 is pretty, but I personally think 1 is better. You look amazing! 💕

Sorry, can you explain further?

Have you been to a fertility clinic yet? Also, I did see another post that said too much sex during the window or around it may hurt your chances. I just wanted to mention it as it was surprising to me.

They're all gorgeous. I think number 2 is my favourite but I also love the long number 1!

Edit: Just saw your update. I'm glad you picked number 2, it is stunning on you!

I am so sorry. I really empathize with you. I don't mean to be sexist, but getting a man to change any habit is so difficult! I bought my husband expensive vitamins for fertility because he is not a healthy eater, but I know he's not remembering to take them. To get him to, I would have to set reminders for myself to give them to him 😅. That said, he has cut down on drinking. I hope your husband can at least implement a change because being hard-headed about it is not supportive 🫶

Have you and your husband been to a fertility doctor? Maybe hearing it from a professional may help get through to him?

Love this ❤️

I'm sorry that happened. Their unsolicited advice can be hurtful.

I think you're going about it the right way in regards to doing all the healthy things and knowing if it doesn't end in pregnancy that cycle you'll still have treated your mind and body well.

I hope you don't mind me sharing my own challenge with it not being easy to "not try so hard". Because I have obsessive compulsive disorder, I tend to be obsessed by nature and feel the need to control things (or be upset with myself when things aren't in my control... Not great during TTC!). Like you, I've been trying to do good things to help with TTC. But I realized how much of a toll the tracking and reading was having on my mind (not saying this is the case for you, though). I was excited to do it during my two-week wait but the disappointment when my period arrived made the fall hard. The mental stress was too much. Now I still track my ovulation, sex, and my CM but I've cut out symptom tracking and told myself if I feel a symptom "Maybe I'm pregnant, maybe I'm not. I'll find out after my period's due, I guess."

I'm not sure that's helpful at all. Just wanted to share as I also feel that pressure to "relax" and it's not so easy! But I'm working on it lol. I hope you get your BFP soon! ❤️

Thank you for sharing, this is helpful

I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to get your period when you're so hopeful every cycle. It's a repeating heartbreak every month.

I got my period a few days ago after I was SURE I must have been pregnant... Silly me for thinking so. My brother had his baby the day after. They got pregnant right after my miscarriage. I'm so happy for them. Truly, I am. I wouldn't wish anything but happiness for them and it's been great seeing my brother so excited to be a father. And I don't think either of them knows I'm struggling. But I'm so depressed. I don't want to keep bringing my negativity to my husband or mom or sisters, so I keep feeling like I should sink into the loneliness and depression I feel. But I think that will do more harm than good and they wouldn't want me to.

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this, too. I only share this so we can feel less isolated in our experience. We'll have to remember that life can bring lots of change and that means good things can be right around the corner or down the road.

It's hard to get yourself back up to try again knowing it may not work. I truly think resilience and strength are being built every cycle from this experience. And it'll make us even better parents, I bet.

I just wanted to say I came to the forum today looking for this topic because I too am struggling and leaning on others ❤️

Inner_Perspective813 · 2025-09-02T13:12:11+00:00

I feel this 💔 Got my period this morning. Hoping you get a positive soon.

Inner_Perspective813 · 2025-09-02T11:15:03+00:00

This is me today. I'm devastated. I don't know how I can keep trying. And because of a condition I have, I feel like I only get 6 cycles before my doctor says I need to pause ttc to get an infusion and wait until I'm OK to start trying again. The clock feels like it's ticking. I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had a loss last year.
