So, I'm not super fertile. Honestly, I don't know of a single person that has consistently taken longer than 4 months. I know what the statistics say, but I still ridiculously feel resentful of all those lucky gals that get pregnant in the first couple of months.
I know plenty of people that took them well over a year. In fact most of the people I know had to try for more than eight months. I used to focus only on those that managed to conceive straight away, but then realised how, not just unhelpful, but also untrue such perspective was.
And honestly, you've had three children. That sounds pretty fertile to me. Time of conceiving does not indicate fertility, unless there's something getting in the way. It's primarily a matter of chance, and age.
Sorry, I'm not ranting against you, not at all. But I do hear women bragging about being 'super-fertile' because they conceived first or second try, and it makes me want to bang my head on the wall. Like I said, if you are in good reproductive health, you'll inevitably be part of the statistics. That's about it.
And you know what? Your history gives me more courage than you think. I'm entering my 12th cycle, and looking at your numbers, not only does it make you look perfectly healthy, but gives me hope I'm perfectly healthy too. Fingers crossed. Because I'm shit-scared at the moment.
To the OP: The disappointment is, unfortunately, part of the game. And what an unpleasant game this can be at times. Still, one day, next month, soon, it will result to the greatest joy for you. Don't fight your emotions, but do remain hopeful. Next month is your month.
