We're struggling to conceive

    It's been around 9 months now, trying but no joy. Our first baby came without much effort at all.

    My wife is really struggling and it seems like all of her friends are getting pregnant. She's had two early miscarriages which hasn't helped.

    I'm trying to stay positive etc... from what I know 9 months isn't abnormally long time to be trying and the fact she conceived twice is positive too. Just I don't know what to say, what to do. It's like groundhogs day and each time it doesn't happen it seems to compound... I know so many others must face this but probably suffer in silence.

    Is there any support group? Any advice... ?

    Mod Note:


    OP, I am going to move your thread from "Personal Issues" to "Trying to Conceive" over in the Family forum. You might get some useful responses there, although by all means post here again if you feel you need to.

    Sorry to hear of your struggles. I've been there myself with secondary infertility and it's very isolating and stressful.

    This is the TTC forum. When I was posting, there were a few of us on the journey and I found chatting to them online very helpful.

    Does your wife feel like you both need to explore medical options?

    If you or your wife use Instagram, I would suggest following a user called "The fertility hack". She is a fertility nurse and she talks through the different interventions that clinics use and gives advice on when it might or might not to appropriate to seek treatment.
