The grumpy, sulky, complaining thread. For when you just need a good old moan about the unfairness of it all.

So I just want to let of steam but I don't want to bring the thread down elsewhere.
I went to a party on Saturday and there were two pregnant woman there. A very dear friend wrote to me about his baby, who is adorable and I am very happy for him but it just isn't damn fair.
I've been trying 16 months now and I'm just fed up with it all.
All I want is one baby, just one. I don't think it's asking too much.
I'm even finding it hard for the other women on threads who are getting their BFPs.

Rant over, please feel free to add your own.

I'm sure that people who have suffered a mc would disagree with me, and I'm sure if I ever do I will regret saying it; but to be pregnant for just a day would be better than not at all.

Just knowing that I could get pregnant would give me hope.

Yeah. Sometimes I think that. Then I hear all the horrors that people physically go through, and emotionally, well I dot know if I could cope, but just the nothingness is pretty difficult at times.

Sinky. Sounds dreadful, and I shouldn't ever ever say it, but I want that second line, even if it doesn't result in a baby.
I know I shouldn't but even if it was just one day I'd have over nothing at all.

I'll have a rant! Ok, so previously my bmi was around 28 and had no problems getting pregnant twice. Older now and ttc so gp advised earlier this year should lose weight and get bmi between 20 and 24. So, got bmi to 20.8. And am now seemingly not even ovulating!! Ffs should have stayed 'rounded' :)
Might start a thread to see if weight gain/loss has helped anyone else or not in ttc for 35+ ladies.

Hi Pip

I just rejoined the threads last night after a break from them, and wondered if you were around. I left the threads because I just couldn't cope with the BFPs each month when I just had to keep joining the next one.

Monday was a year since we started TTC, and was never an anniversary I thought I'd be celebrating Hmm Two of my colleagues are hugely pregnant at the moment (both announcing how easy it was, how quickly it happened and how much of a surprise it was!) and I have four nieces and nephews under 2. With family and at work I hear on a daily basis 'oh you'll be next, you have it all ahead of you...' blah blah. Do I?

Have you been to the GP? I am going to make an appointment now that we are past the magical one year mark.

ah pip i am exactly the same as you. It's just not fair and I try and avoid most threads on here now as everyone seems to get pg so damned easily. I went on Facebook last night and the first 5 things were either baby updates, pregnancy-bump photos, or kiddy pictures. Argh!

If you want somewhere to hang out with ladies going through a wide range of things then do come to the Brookers thread. We try and stay positive for each other, but swing up and down like mad.

sinky - in 15 months i've never had a hint of a second line either... It just seems like nothing at all is happening and it drives me mad! I just want a report each month on what the problem was, cos i know it's not timing!

sinkyroselee · 11/09/2012 21:56

Ok. Which is worse? Never getting that second line, or getting the second line but not getting a baby at the end?

Idle musings in yr 3 of TTC... (with no hint of a second line)
