Where there’s a Yam, there’s a way

Thread numero four-o.

A safe place for those of you who have been trying to conceive for 6+ months and even yams aren’t helping. Come and have a good ol’ bitch and a moan without judgement.

The Yam Commandments are as follows;

  • Thou shall not arrive one day and post BFP next day
  • Thou shall not give advice to others when TTC for one month only
  • Thou shall not participate in one-up-manship and realise TTC is shit for everyone in different ways
  • Thou shall allow posters to be fucked off with the world and everything in it at regular points in the month
  • Thou shall not be offended by strong language
  • Thou shall not tell everyone to eat yams
  • Thou shall accept being called a muppet for testing at 7dpo at 9pm at night

And most importantly...

  • Thou shall not symptom spot during the two week wait and must be prepared for a telling off if they do so.

Welcome and welcome. We’re all very nice and friendly despite being horrible bitter old cows ☺️

Oh hang on, I’m thinking of EPA Confused

LexieJean · 24/01/2018 15:56

@soarkwood I thought EPO was a no no?

SparkwoodAnd21 · 24/01/2018 15:39

Those of you that take EPO, how much do you take? Is it just from cd1 up till ovulation? I found 1000 mg in Boots that said 1 a day, and 500mg in H&B that said 3-6 capsules a day.

Haha Limp I did wonder if you'd eaten a yam whilst in Vegas and maybe that is what helped! I was all ready to crack out the yams if it actually worked Wink

Congrats Limpluttuce, delighted to hear some good news. There’s hope for us all yet xx

LimpLettice · 23/01/2018 20:32

Thank you peeps. I won't feel out of the woods for a long while yet, last 2 times haven't stuck, but (🤞🏻) it all feels stronger this time. I just thought it was jet lag.

Unbelievable that this is the first time I've not tracked, obsessed or thought it was possible since last May, and that I bit the referral bullet. I'll stick around for a bit if no one minds, I'm really hopeful for some more good news, god knows this thread and all who sail in her bloody deserve it.

Oh, and I didn't eat 🍠 haha.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 23/01/2018 20:28
