You’ve probably heard the phrase, “it takes a village to raise a child”, we say the village should start work at the trying to conceive stage! The trying to conceive journey can be exciting and fun and hopeful, but it can also feel nerve-wracking and disheartening at times, especially if it feels like everyone around you is getting pregnant at the drop of a hat!

If you’ve been on your Trying To Conceive journey for a while, then it’s perfectly normal to feel frustrated at times. In fact, when we polled this community at the beginning of this project, we found that 73% of you felt hopeless at times with only 27% reporting feeling optimistic. We’re sharing these stats to remind you that you’re not alone if you’re struggling. This Clearblue project group is full of likeminded women who are all on the same journey as you – both the highs and the lows.

Three weeks into this extraordinary project, and our hearts are full! A massive thank you to those who've shared their journey already, and for those of you who haven't — we're eagerly waiting to hear from you.

We understand that you need to wait until the right point in your cycle to start testing before you can share. And remember, we’d love to see every step of your journey, whether it's during low, high, or peak fertility.

Pregnancy announcements, gender reveals and magical births are celebrated with great joy – and rightly so – but these wonderful occasions can serve to remind those of us on our own #TryingToConceive journey that we’re not quite there yet. Sound familiar?

If you’re trying to get pregnant then you’re likely to experience a myriad of emotions and each and every one of these feelings is okay. Clearblue, with our help, want to remind you (and others on this journey) that you’re absolutely not alone.

The time has come to help Clearblue shine a light on the #TryingToConceive journey. There are probably as many journeys as there are babies born and we’d love to hear all about yours. Whether you’re new to the #TryingToConceive family or you’ve been trying for a while now, we’d love to hear from you. Simply share with us as much or as little of your #TryingToConceive story as you’re happy and comfortable with.
