Where there’s a Yam, there’s a way

@Milknosugar1 that would be telling surely....
Though I have read that doggy helps semen get further up and the position helps to open the cervix so......

Hi please can i join, ttc #2 for 18+ months (soooo over this).

Yet i still think its acceptable to bloody poas at 9dpo.. (let's feel the shame together @si1ver!)

Advice needed please...

I got a positive opk Monday, dtd Monday and yesterday (and 2 days before + opk), Ovia says fw is now over but Period Tracker says I ovulated yesterday and should dtd today. I'm confused. I thought ovulation would occur day of or day after the +opk. Help, do I need to dtd again? I don't know if DH can, it was a struggle last night tbh. I don't want to miss my chance!

Oooh new thread. I've not posted much as it's all getting me down a bit if I'm honest. Plus I've started a new job so have been super busy trying to figure out what I'm meant to be doing!

I've been on all four too
Hopefully everyone gets their bfp soon.

Hello everyone. TTC for over a year now. Had initial blood test the 21 day test which was normal. DP has had one SA and has to book another as first was borderline. Getting frustrated and aware I'm probably taking the fun out of DTD now. Good luck to everýone

Yay to the new thread - don't post much but I'm always lurking and crossing my fingers for us all!

I had to literally stand over dh today while he phoned to make an appointment for a SA 🙄

Quiet I’m actually feeling okay about it. The past 6 months especially of TTC have been utterly shit and I just can’t carry on being consumed by it all and feeling like I’m failing at life - we’re going to finish the investigations because it seems silly after the long waiting list we’ve been in but then just call it a day for a while ( realistically probably a year or so ) and enjoy the life that we have, not feel sad about the one that we don’t.

Placemarking.

@PirateWeasel, sympathy! I’m having exactly the same - a very close colleague, who had a miscarriage three months ago. At that point I felt baby bombed and then felt evil when she told me she miscarried. I’m on cycle 11 now and my DH is away for work for a few months - this AF is late but still getting a BFN so all it’s going to do is mess up my carefully timed expensive trips to —conceive— hang out with DH. Sigh.

@Justwaitingforaline, sorry to see you go, albeit temporarily. Wishing you lots of luck xx

@S1lver, step away from the sticks!!!!

I am totally pissed off. Bad day at school today, but that's only part of it. Feeling like I'm preggers but desperately trying to convince myself it's all in my head. I really don't want to be too let down when af arrives.

To top it off, a friend I see regularly, as we're taking a class together until July, has told me she's 12-weeks. She had a mc like me so we were mc buddies but now she's preggers again. I'm happy for her but it still makes me feel sad.

I've been here for all 4 threads too and actually managed to get a bfp but I'm still here. I love you ladies but I really do want to be elsewhere! ;)

How do you tell your brain to stop thinking you're preggers?!?!

Spark no no NO, you're fab. What have the latest results said about your thyroid, has there been improvement? Getting the treatment is definitely a step forward, don't feel too downhearted. But I do understand - felt the same when warned that if no further explanation, just have to carry on for another year :s Be kind to yourself xx

Oh just I'll be sorry to see you go - but I totally understand. How are you feeling about it? Glad you're doing what's right for you guys - that's the most important thing. Take care, lovely, and maybe visit us some time xxx

Hey ladies, just a quick pop in to say that after DH’s sperm analysis, we are bowing out of TTC for a while. It’s eating us both alive and we need a break.

I wish you all the very best of luck and will think of you whenever I eat yams not that I eat yams. Thank you all for the support over the past however long, you guys have been great.

I had an appointment with the doctor today to discuss results so far. I was hoping to come away with something, like a plan for further tests or some drugs like chlomid or something, but I’ve just got another batch of thyroid medicine and a blood test to book in six weeks. I feel a bit deflated and it all feels pretty hopeless. At what point do you give up? Feeling like a fat, bitter, barren old hag. ☹️

Early May, Mama and I've done nuffink. Literally booked it and nothing else. And yes, we booked it before the, ahem, other couple. She'll probably pregnant before me as well ffs 🙄. I've taken to shouting at fecund characters in kids programmes now. Look, even she done it first!

Vegas though! Yep it's exciting.

Oh I'm fed up of milestones. Miscarried due date 18th March. I'll probly melt into a heap of negative misery by then. What a joy to be around I am. Ha.

S1lver we've all been there. All of us. Step away from the pee!

@Si1ver I've been known to POAS far too soon after DTD before 4days, ha!

This TTC lark is way more tricky than I ever imagined.

Si1ver we've all been there. Don't beat yourself up. Got any nice plans for the day?

Morning yammers!
limp are you getting married in 5 months? Las Vegas is super exciting!!!
Welcome snowy!

The day I ov dp is away. Boooo! I'm starting to wonder if it's ever going to happen 12 cycles in.
Xx

Thanks for the new thread @Bubblegum89

Being the idiot that I am I tested this morning at, wait for it, 8dpo

OF COURSE IT'S A FUCKING NEGATIVE S1LVER, EVEN IF YOU WERE PREGNANT IT COULDN'T HAVE IMPLANTED YET SO THERE'S NO SIDING HCG IN YOUR BLOOD FOR THE TEST TO PICK UP ON.

Muppet.

You'd think by now I'd know better.

Hello New Thread! Trying to de-stress a bit more this year, and DTD more often during the FW. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for starting the new thread Bubble shame we're all still here though, and sorry to all the newbies joining. We're not a very lucky thread unfortunately x

Thanks for the new thread bubblegum! Can't believe its already been 4 threads...sigh...

Hi all - sorry to see the familiar names,but fx for some more luck. limp Vegas sounds like a great distraction - sorry about the shitty 'milestones'...

Good luck to all - bring on the 2018 bfps :)

I'm still lurking, 4 threads in too but my negativity is too much even for this place . Good news on our couple of bfps.

Trying to concentrate on other things a bit. Planning a wedding in less than 5 months and off to Vegas this week which is a distraction. Ditched the opks too. All a bit pointless and just too much pressure. Last month was last cycle to give birth at 40, it's a headfuck.
