Thread five!

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 shalt not arrive one day and post BFP next day
  • Thou shalt not give advice to others when TTC for one month only
  • Thou shalt 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 shalt not be offended by strong language
  • Thou shalt 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 shalt not symptom spot during the two week wait and must be prepared for a telling off if you do so.

@rhibee congratulations! That’s great news! 🤞 for you for the next few months, I hope it all goes well.

Here’s to marvellous March yammers- maybe it’s more false hope but I feel very good about March for us all!

@RhiBee29 congratulations! What lovely news. I'm so pleased for you.

RhiBee29 · 18/02/2018 08:11

Thanks @MynameisJune scary times! I'll be on pants watch until 12wks.

MynameisJune · 18/02/2018 07:54

That’s a line @rhibee congratulations 😀

Gah I can't upload images!

RhiBee29 · 18/02/2018 07:20

Am I seeing things? I'm bloody shaking. Really bad af pains yesterday so was convinced she was on the way.

Bubblegum89 · 18/02/2018 01:04

Well I’m spotting brown so af is on her way but fingers crossed my HyCoSy did something miraculous and March will be my month :)

bama4 · 17/02/2018 21:38

🤞🏼🤞🏼 fx for a marvellous March for us all! I am feeling so positive about this cycle for some reason - hope the feeling lasts and hope even more for a bfp

MynameisJune · 17/02/2018 21:31

And I just worked out that if I conceived in March my EDD would be the same date as DD’s was!

MynameisJune · 17/02/2018 21:26

DD was conceived in March, it’s definitely a good month. Not too pregnant over high summer, finishing work before harsh winter sets in. Having an excuse to hibernate over winter with a newborn. Definitely marvellous March for us all!

LovePinaColada · 17/02/2018 20:59

🤞 for Marvellous March for us all.

RhiBee29 · 17/02/2018 20:55

@LimpLettice it's all about marvellous March. Sending big hugs x

Cariad2017 · 17/02/2018 19:46

Sending enormous hugs your way Limp. I am so so sorry that you’re having to go through this again, but you’re right, March is where it’s at (February is always utterly utterly rubbish). Xxx

MynameisJune · 17/02/2018 19:07

Waves @milk glad to see your doing okay. In the nicest possible way we don’t want you back here 😊

Oh limp I’m so sorry, what a pile of shit. Stay strong (I know it’s hard) we’re all here for you. Sending you lots of love

MynameisJune · 17/02/2018 18:13

Sending lots of love your way @limp, I hope it’s complete so you can start to move forward.

Sorry for all those that the witch has found again this cycle.

This thread is seriously due some good luck!

LimpLettice · 17/02/2018 17:48

Thanks Sooz. I've said it before but I fucking love this thread. It's been such an awful fortnight, but having somewhere to vent, not be mindful of delicate sensibilities or discretion, and the support of women who bloody know how it is is what MN is so good for and I'm grateful.

bama4 · 17/02/2018 17:48

Sending love to you @LimpLettice and hoping it's complete
Sorry to everyone who af has got this weekend WineThanks
Cd 8 here - gearing up for fw, opks and temping and lots of dtd !

SoozC · 17/02/2018 17:30

Limp, sending you lots of love and hugs. xx
