ive been of of cerelle for just over 5 months ive got the ovulation app and i also buy ovulation tests me and my husband ttc at my highest peak but as off yet no positive pregnancy test i aso had an ectopic a couple of years ago and im wandering if that isnt helping the whole ttc thing either any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It’s hard waiting for a pregnancy. I think the statistics are that 2/3 people become pregnant in 6 months and 90% in a year so hold on to that. You can also speak to your GP if you have concerns about this. Good luck!

Thanks Im just finding it disheartening that every test I do seems to come back negative

Hello! ttc at the ovulation peak is usually too late. I'd suggest the method where after the last day of your period you have sex every other day and around 4 days before your usual ovulation (if you track it) do it every day. Also check your nutrition with healthy fats, vitamin D supplement, maybe CoQ10 supplement for both you and hubby and you prenatal.

I can't comment on the aspect of coming off contraception because I've never been in this situation however.

Best of luck. And remember in many cases it is normal for it to take a year to conceive, even though the wait is very hard!
