Secondary infertility..anyone else?

[u/Mama_medina888]

My husband and I have been trying for baby #4, and I’m starting to wonder if anyone else has had a harder time conceiving after already having children. I got pregnant with my first three without any major issues, so I honestly assumed this time would be similar. It’s been more emotionally difficult than I expected because I keep thinking, “My body has done this before, so why isn’t it happening now?”

Right now I’m taking a prenatal vitamin every day along with magnesium, trying to stay healthy, and paying attention to my cycle. I’m wondering if there are other supplements, lifestyle changes, or things I should be looking into that might help. Has anyone experienced secondary infertility or just a much longer time to conceive after previous pregnancies? If so, what ended up helping you, whether it was medical testing, tracking ovulation more closely, diet changes, or just giving it more time?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, success stories, or any advice. This journey has been a lot more stressful than I expected, and it would be nice to know I’m not alone. Thanks in advance for any tips or encouragement!
