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 ☺️

Thinking of you today @LimpLettice Thanks

Uuuggghhhhh. DP is away for the significant days of FW. At what point do you just give up entirely? Two years of this shit has left me feeling defeated.

WonkyDonk87 · 04/02/2018 23:07

Thinking of you Limp, really hope all is ok.

LimpLettice · 04/02/2018 22:27

Thank you so much for all the good wishes you lot. I do love this thread.

We've had a very chilled day, resting up as much as possible. No spotting this afternoon, but I still don't feel quite right. I promise to update in the morning after my appointment.

WonkyDonk87 · 04/02/2018 21:17

@LimpLettice How are you holding up? Have you been resting? Let us know how tomorrow goes xxx

WonkyDonk87 · 04/02/2018 15:20

Thanks ladies, I'm soothing my soul by watching the rugby. ☺️

@WonkyDonk87. Tell your GP you don't know as they should printout several progesterone firms for you, that's what mine did last week x

WonkyDonk87 · 04/02/2018 12:53

I've got a GP appointment next week. Only had a US so far, not sure what bloods they can do with no idea when I ovulate

QuietTime · 04/02/2018 11:43

wonky sorry to hear you're still no clearer on your cycle, so annoying...I've forgotten where you are in investigations? Can you speak to the GP, or do you have to wait this out

bubblegum how annoying! Have been thinking of you - I hope all goes well on Wed and you get some answers xxx

Haven't been around as much, but still lurking; hope you're all doing OK xx

QuietTime · 04/02/2018 11:38

Oh @LimpLettice I hope you're doing OK today - and wishing you all the best for tomorrow; I so hope it's good news. I can't imagine how worrying it must be - thinking of you and sending you hugs; whatever happens, we're here xxx

Steaksauce · 04/02/2018 10:59

Oh @LimpLettice! I'm so sorry Sad I hope there's some good news for you tomorrow x

LexieJean · 04/02/2018 10:58

@limp I hope you’re ok? 🤞crossed for that it’s just a hiccup. hugs 💐

@wonky this is crazy! You must be going out of your mind! When was the last time you asked a doc about it?

WonkyDonk87 · 04/02/2018 10:46

No... and I know that makes it pointless! I just wanted to pee on something and have some sort of result. What a tit.

SoozC · 04/02/2018 10:40

You could have missed your surge, Wonky? Do you opk every day?

WonkyDonk87 · 04/02/2018 09:45

Sodding nipples mean NOTHING. Did an OPK and a PG test - both negative.
Please feel free to call me an absolute muppet.

Cariad2017 · 04/02/2018 07:19

Limp - Sorry to hear you’re having such a worrying time. I hate early pregnancy with a passion for this reason. Look after yourself my lovely, and whatever the outcome please don’t blame yourself - there is nothing you did that will change the outcome. I shall be rooting for you tomorrow. In the meantime, I hope you find plenty of distractions. Xxx

MynameisJune · 04/02/2018 00:44

@limp so sorry this is happening. I’m keeping everything crossed that it is good news on Monday. It could just be a pocket of old blood or the possibility that it was two eggs that tried to implant.

I do understand the prepare for the worst mentality, sometimes you just know. Huge hugs xx

NimbleKnitter · 03/02/2018 21:41

Oh Limp. Big hugs. How many weeks are you?

Take care of yourself and crossing everything for you x

Limp, everything is crossed for you, try not to worry but I know that is so hard. Every pregnancy is different, spotting and cramps don't necessarily mean there's a problem. Sending you massive hugs xx

RhiBee29 · 03/02/2018 17:07

I get it, definitely not the same! Go to the shops Wink

Plenty Rhibee but it’s not the same lol I’m getting to the point where I’m considering just going to buy condoms. I sound like such a sex maniac like I can’t wait just a few more days 🙈 it’s my body’s natural instinct when it’s ovulating, honest!
