Have you tried the ovulation/pregnancy kit on amazon? Use a cycle tracker if you haven’t explored those. 💗

I used a fertility kit out of curiosity & got pregnant within a month after we decided to go for it. My hubby still thinks it’s his superhero sperm. 😂

6 months. Depending on your age (over or under 35), it might be time to see a fertility specialist

10 months with my first (1 month with my second).

Once I figured out when I was actually ovulating, 5 months.

Three years and saw a specialist after 6mo of trying when I was 34. So glad I did because we started the whole fertility journey 6mos before I was 35.

Almost 4 years... and I needed medical intervention to finally get there. Like PS1 said above, after 6 mos see a specialist unless you are still under 35 then I think it’s after a year. good luck to you!

3 months. Agree with the recommendation to see a doctor! Good luck!

Go see a doctor, even if it’s less than 6 months it can sometimes take monnntthhhss to get an appt with a specialist! And/or look into the fertility awareness method (if you haven’t already). I’m one of the rare ones where I’ve gotten pregnant all three times on the first try (1st resulted in a MC). But I tracked my cycle obsessively for months beforehand to time it right using the FAM.

Ovulation strips clear blue works - got pregnant the first month using them. If you can’t get pregnant after 3-6 months of doing that talk to your Ob gyn about testing you and your significant other.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together.

I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
