Ps when is ur next scan? Must be just after Xmas?

dildoos · 16/12/2014 07:21

Oh hope and trying I know this feeling I truly do! Your not horrid you are normal!
My sil has had 2 pregnancies I have had to live through massive selfish complainer not falling, complainer when pregnant then complains about no sleep! I want to slap her half the time and say get your head out of your arse and notice we are still trying raaaaaaa!
I feel for you both!
Trying hope you do t mind but I am hoping your wrong and af doesn't come xx

Tryingno1 · 16/12/2014 07:20

Thanks hope. I did think of u last night when my DH told me the news! That must have been so so hard for u I can't imagine.
She does my head in to be frank. Not looking fwd to hearing all about how wonderful it is for her to be preg and have a perfect family. She's great at making me feel really shitty about it all without trying go be intentionally mean.
Right now I'm loosing all hope and the pressure to be preg again feels more.
Need to see my acupuncture lady and get perspective.
And yes I would be a brilliant mummy!!!

Hopender · 16/12/2014 06:14

My SIL is a nightmare too, Trying. I think I told you the story about her asking if she could call her new baby the same name as our little boy who died when I was six months pregnant. It was only four months later! Don't best yourself up for feeling bad. It is brutal and you are going through an incredibly tough time. The good news is that when your babies arrive - and I bet you end up having at least four - they will grow up to be kind, strong and sensitive human beings because they will have you as their mummy!

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 22:18

I'll be happy for her tmrw. Today I'm being a horrible person. Sorry guys. I wouldn't feel like this if she wasn't so self righteous.

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 21:44

Af due thurs. not taking a test. I know I'm out
Found out SIL preg. Her DH is only 14 months. I'm not taking it very well :(. She's a bit hard work and a obssed with having kids and not leaving it late as she told me once when I was 28!
It's hard coz the whole family then gets so obssed with the coming of the new baby and I feel like such a failure.
So af due and this news. Double whammy this month.

dildoos · 15/12/2014 20:20

When are you due af trying? Are you going to test soon? X

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 17:43

Don't feel guilty for wanting another one. U deserve to have as many as u wish. It's so shit this situation! Xmas def making me more thoughtful of it all.

dildoos · 15/12/2014 16:58

Evening all,
Yes spoke to him lots over weekend and he is going to try be more supportive and thing like a lady. I just feel so desperate at the moment and think Christmas is a lot to do with it, but next breath I feel guilty for being desperate for another when I have a beautiful lo already. hormone alert

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 12:54

Whoops!

Was going to say maybe loosing some weight might help too! I really need to start again but Im not in the right headspace. After new year I'll hopefully get back on it!

It's so frustrating Sad.

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 12:53

I was wondering how ww was going' that's really good' maybe loosing some
Weight mug

sunnyday01 · 15/12/2014 12:38

i know - it is fustrating though that it was 1 month, the 7ish months and now 12 months though!!

One good things is i have lost 5lb doing ww again so making progress with that!!

OP posts:
Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 11:54

Well I suppose it just shows that sometimes it just takes longer? U managed in 1 month and then 7ish months. I've done 2, 2 then 5.
So it has to happen again at some
Point!
I think ivf a long way away for us both. I'm scared of the thought of it. So lets just not think about it! Hard to keep positive ALL the time! I think despite my DH wishes I might go back to the sticks next month. Each time we got preg it's been the same pattern so I'm convinced a few more times like that and it should do the trick (although I've tried that way at least anther 10 times and failed but still success on 3!)
Go buy urself something nice and remember u still haven't had af x

sunnyday01 · 15/12/2014 11:17

i got pregnant the first month of trying (couldn't believe it!) which was january 2013, and then again in october 2013. I'm concerned that what was just a miscarriage problem is not a getting pregnant problem too!

I'm scared of the thought of doing IVF - not that it has ever been mentioned at any time but I guess if thats the only way then I would do it.

OP posts:
Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 11:03

Ps yep def get sperm checked at end of SO. Lets hope u don't need to do though.

I miscarried the first time st after a flight and so now refuse to fly if preg. I cant shake it even though evidence shoes it doesnt make a didf. It means I can't book holidays till af arrives which drives me crazy and also means its exp. I quite fancy going away for Xmas and just not dealing with family being happy and tip toeing around me( more my Dh's).

It's got to work out at end. We just all have to keep going.

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 11:00

I know wot u what mean dildoos. My Dh sounds like urs sunny hs v supportive and caring but he still doesn't quite feel it the way I do. He's like - it will happen, it will happen. And doesn't feel like why I have a kinda rush? He doesnt seem to have as many anxieties as me. i think its a boy girl thing? Also he still drinks(not alot but maybe 8-10units a week while i have hardly nothing). he seems to be more balanced about it all while im a bit more desperate?? He also said a few times if it doesn't happen he could be happy with just us (which didn't go down v well!) I do sometimes worry how far he will go but for now he's promised to go as far as needs be. But he is wonderful about it and so I shouldn't complain.

Have u spoken to ur partner about how u feel? I think men just deal with it differently?

How long did it take u to get preg in 2013 sunny? I suppose that I'm worried that even though I've been preg 3 times I've suddenly stopped working?! U still have 2
More Months of So to go, so lets hope it happens in that time. My
Dad keeps telling me it's just nature. It doesn't have to happen quickly every time and that after miscarriages it can take time for body to recover etc...he said he won't discuss SO with me till next may when lll have been trying a year...I hope he's right! I was hoping that by goin part time and starting acupuncture it would just happen but it hasn't ;(. I hope I don't find myself going down the ivf path in time To come and dealing with miscarriages. But then women do, and get through it on the other side.
Hope u all have fun Xmas plans
And hopender hope ur still feeling postive from ur scan

sunnyday01 · 15/12/2014 09:41

no i can understand that - my husband is very supportive, and he is also very positive when i get a negative test etc he is always like we tried everything they said and there is always next month, and he beleives it will happen etc etc. But i don't think he truly understands what its like - i am the one having all the feelings in my body and constantly second guessing what is going on!

I can't really complain about him too much as he is very supportive

dildoos · 15/12/2014 09:31

Sunny sorry to see you had a bfn , I hope it's just too early to tell and you are still in with a chance yet!
Sometimes this road seems impossible to travel down.
Can I ask, slightly awkward question? Do you ever feel upset with your oh feeling they don't seem to have to do anything? At the moment I am feeling I do the drugs, the timing , the tests, whilst he does nothing? I am feeling really he could be more supportive when I feel like a failure. I get sick of hearing it will happen and if not then we tried. Am I alone feeling this? Have I totally lost the plot? X

sunnyday01 · 15/12/2014 09:29

you get 6 months then you have a break - they say that 85% of couples who try it get pregnant in the first 6 months, if you go through a second round it drops right down to 15%.

I'm like you, i have been trying for 2 years in january - in 2013 i got pregnant twice yet this year nothing - i just don't understand! I think if i don't get pregnant after 6 SO rounds then I'm def going to investigate DH sperm plus i might come off the pred etc and just take it once i get a bfp - will probbaly have an appt with Dr S at some point to discuss what happens next!

It is so tiring, other people seem to have it so easy (or so it seems) and I feel like its so unfair and why me, and that another year has passed with no baby but I guess we have to just keep picking ourselves up!

OP posts:
Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 09:19

Thanks girls. I think I would rather put it off but then I'm going to go mad waiting that long. It will be 2 yrs of ttc in April and I find that really
Depressing. I am ovulating myself so let's just hope it happens soon.

I'm sorry sunny. I know how u feel. It's so tiring...Im not even bothering to test tmrw. How many goes at SO do u get? i know someone who failed with SO and then got preg naturally the month after! u have got preg before and are young so it will happen (wish I could convince myself of the same!)

sunnyday01 · 15/12/2014 09:10

hi - i was a bit upset but more fed up than anything just feels like it is never going to happen. There wasn't even a hint of a line so i think its unlikely its going to change. AF due thurs/fri.

With regards to SO, I did it because i was worried i wasn't ovulating, my FSH levels were normal, not sure what my AMH levels are but I actually quite like the routine to it - i like knowing how many eggs i have and what size they are and when i'm ovulating etc. The only hard bit about it is like this month for example - I had two very good size eggs and we DTD more than they advise yet I still didn't hit the jackpot and then I wonder why its not happening!

Quick Q-my NHS appointment is now Friday! Been moved forward which I am v. Surprised about ;) I know diff hospitals have diff guidelines but will I have any scans/tests on the day? Or will I be referred for them? What was your experience? Thanks!!

Determined123 · 15/12/2014 08:44

Sorry to hear that Sunny...but as trying mentioned 10dpo is often to early. Still keeping my fingers crossed for you x are you ok??

Trying-whilst SO worked for me (kind of as was preg for the shortest time in history!) I personally did find it quite intense. Drugs at the beginning, then scan, then trigger, then timed intercourse, then pred, prog etc and then of course when you test you never know whether it is leftover trigger or a real bfp...which of course happened to me (both DH and I didn't believe it) and it was a BFP. Like hope said if you can i would try and leave it a little longer if your tests/hormones have come back ok but of course it's just down to how you and DH are feeling about it...the thing SO gave me was the feeling I was doing something (but then my hormone/ovulation levels were diff to you due to pcos). Hope that helps??

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 08:24

Not had my amh done actually...eill look into it.

Tryingno1 · 15/12/2014 08:09

Sorry sunny. But 10dpo is early. Many women don't get their hpt till 12 or later. When is af due? Hope ur ok.....
Thanks hope. My fsh was 7 which I'm told is fine. I might do another one next month. Also I've had progesterone done and I'm ovulating..so maybe it's just a matter of more time. I worry re DH sperm though as its not been tested...I think I'll give it to 8/9 months and then think about SO. I kinda didn't want to mess around with more drugs etc ESP as I am still young and have gotten preg 3 times before!! Maybe I'm worrying for no reason.
Hope ur ok sunny x
