We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

I stare at them then stare at random women's tummies or other mums at nursery tummies to see whether they are pregnant. The other day I was convinced two women at work were pregnant ... had to ask a trusted colleague (who is well aware of my neurosis) to find out if its true -she said no!

Like you saggy I was a pretty happy person, always felt things would be fine, now Im just a grump - good luck with CBFM.

I'll join projectdesperate - definitely do acupuncture next month, very expensive, but will cut back on other stuff... also gives me an opportunity to lie down for an hour!

Not at all Kat. If I could I would too!
I think we should add project desperate to the thread opener, next to lets the rules.
So come on, lets compile the list...

aly I think you're just more honest than me!

Thank you.

PM me your address and I'll send it to you. I have a few sticks with it which you can use to reset. Now I have a toddler it's actually not that easy to POAS every morning! I was going to ebay it but don't think I will ever get round to it so I'd be happy for someone else to get it. I conceived DD1 the first month I used it but the second time round it wasn't working so well for me - possibly my hormone levels being different (I am starting to fear that I may be perimenopausal).

Thank you, that is a lovely offer. I tried the cheapies and they were useless.

Hi squiggly! rubbish that you're here, but a friendly welcome anyway.

meant to say earlier that i love the project desperate concept and it someone can remember that in 870 posts time that'd be great.

just ordered my bbt which came with cheapie ov sticks. also got some pre-seed as DH said "in for a penny, in for a pound". He's lucky that i didn't buy a cbfm.

squiggly you're a nicer person than me. i tend to glare at pregnant women from behind their back

saggy I have a CBFM you can have if you want. I found the cheapie OPKs from amazon work fine for me though.

ps Camomile - that was my experience. I coped weirdly well with my mc but I've found myself thinking more and more about it now. I'm not a sentimental person but when the due date came and went it hurt.

I cant afford loads of treatments, and refuse to buy a CBFM. My contribution is WellWoman multivitamins. They have evening primrose, loads of folic acid and a good amount of vitamin B6.

Can I join in. I'm so effing fed up with TTC. I'm currently popping B6 and starting to look at the prices of progesteronr cream. I'm also staring longingly at pregnant ladies. Every month AF comes on I have to have a half hour sniffle in the loo to grieve for the week I'd just spent convincing myself that we'd fibally managed to get a sister/brother for DD. I have had 2 pregs, 1st successfully but only conceived after a year of trying. 2nd took about a year again and resulted in mmc at 13 weeks. That happened last November. Since then nothing. Bah.

None of us are alone. We have each other.

Ha ha saggy, or maybe "just relax". Impossible.

camomile I am with you. Was pretty sure I would get pregnant soon after miscarriage - probably believing the 'you are really fertile after miscarriage' guff. Now 4 months down the line and am not, it's pretty hard to stay positive every month.

I too have told my DH on more than one occasion 'I'm pregnant' which is swiftly followed by the arrival of af. Feel a right idiot.

Has anyone tried reflexology? Was the latest I was thinking about?! Count me in on project desperate. Clearly need it. I would add talking to your mum about it. Somewhat embarrassing when you mum starts telling you when to have sex. Speaking from experience!

Plus - if I had joined this thread earlier I would STINK of fish.

sat down at the computer all teary only to find that i'm not alone.
Like you guys i'm still finding it very horrible 4 months down the track. I was devastated immediately for a couple of months, then perked up a bit for a month or so (convinced that in no time at all i would be pg again) and now that i'm not i'm all miserable again.

thunder you've sprung me! I really really was going to wait until friday but i was weak-willed

right, i'm off to amazon to order my bbt and ov sticks and pineapple

Lol! Unless you are 14 and MNing from the sofa opposite, then definitely not!
Ive heard this A LOT! Id love to know how to actually stop thinking about it for one single minute of one day!

ha ha! Yes, just what my mum says - and 'RELAX' it'll happen ... however it does seem to be true .. how can we fool ourselves into thinking that we're not trying ....??

How about "stop trying" apparently you always get PG when you stop trying!

Camomile, totally. Im 5 months down the line, and I am still all over the place. I feel like there was this other me, who was happy all the time not true but that's how it feels and now there is miserable shitty me, who sinks to the depths of despair at the drop of a hat. And it doesn't help that TTC has become this horrible chore that I HAVE to do and pray that it happens and the outcome is positive.

Hello my friends

I totally understand the desperation feelings too. I lost my only pg at 12 weeks and I think now, 7 months later it just doesn't seem like it will ever happen any more. Then at other times I'm full of positivity and imagining symptoms all over the place. This happened before af came last week, even DP said he thought I was pg. so crushing when you realise it's not true.

So are you guys still doing the Friday rules? Glancing back thread it seems they're still there but not always heeded?!
