@laral.arnold: this journey is an emotional rollercoaster. If you’re TTC and have struggled with the same thoughts you’re not alone!!! ❤️❤️🤝🏻 #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #morningroutine #morningvlog
I was in the same boat and just felt like something was off despite ovulating and having normal cycles. I got my hormones tested and I had sub clinical hypothyroidism. Went on medication and got pregnant literally a week later on cycle 10 of ttc. It doesn’t hurt to do some initial bloodwork just to make sure everything looks good.

Saaame! 7th cycle here and I’m torn between “it’ll come when it’s meant to be” and “what if there’s something wrong that could be fixed and we’re just wasting our time” 😫

ur not too far behind me, just reaching a little over a year of actual obsessive TTC in december. i have the infertile label on me and somehow PCOS is tagged on even though irregular cycles is a brand new issue for me. its hard but honestly all i want at this point is to feel in tune with my body. i’m taking my mind off a baby as an end goal and instead just trying to understand every symptom and feeling so when it’s time for my second I know what my body is doing and what to expect. learning how things affect us as women is honestly what my mind is locked into now because i love being able to help the women around me with “hey i’ve experienced this i know it’s scary here are things that may help”.

Ugh. Same. Started my period this morning and I’ve been heartbroken all day. Called my provider and can’t get me in for three weeks which will be AFTER I ovulate again so then I cried to the lady on the phone. It’s so hard. 😭

Me and my husband tried for 13 months, then got pregnant. Lost that pregnancy when I was 7 weeks. Then got pregnant the next cycle. Gave birth to a healthy girl January 2024. Tried two cycles in aug/sept 2025, and now I’m 21 weeks pregnant with a baby boy🩷🩵

I went through the same thing. After 11 months, finally went to my obgyn about struggling ttc. I went through 7 medicated cycles and 2 IUIs before finally getting pregnant. After all the testing, they still couldn’t find any reason as to why we struggled. It was tough but every doctor I dealt with was so helpful and knew the struggles themselves. I’m always here if you have any questions 🫶🏼

Everything is going to be alright. Pregnancy is a miracle. We don’t decide when it should occur but our body does. Statistically we got 35% of changes to get pregnant unless both partner are healthy. When it it should happen it will surely.

We’re at 10 months of trying too!🥺 rebuking those negative thoughts is so so hard. They don’t go away. Constant prayer and speaking the word of God over our situation is what helps 🙏🏼🩷

we tried for a year and took fertility tests, the doc told us we needed ivf to have a baby. so we just gave up trying ans planning on starting ivf this year, in october i tested positive all of a sudden! don't let anything get to you, i know it is hard but maybe it just comes different than you expect😅

thought of something.
I feel like one reason it can be so scary is that you really only see "I conceived my first try" and "I've been trying for years and years and going through IVF and there's nothing" and not a whole lot of the middle we see, ya know?
the middle. The middle is': it took 6 months, it took 10 months but happened naturally, t took 9 months but happened naturally, or we did need some support but it was literally just a "quick med and then bam we're pregnant"
those extremes tend to share, and the extremes are also what the algorithms love so it's what we see more of. there's definitely a bit of a distorted view.
There's so much middle ground in TTC between instant pregnancy and years of infertility that is actually the experience of the majority, but it's hard to actually see that sometimes.
The more women I've talked to in my day to day life, the more I see the actual "middle" ground.
it's so hard when you're actually in the thick of it though, because there are some many unknowns and so many things out of your control.
