The Good, The Bad and The Yams!

@LookingAtTheStars89 He's been taking Boots conception vits for a few months. He got another SA recently but he hasn't chased results yet (aargh) so not sure if it's made a difference yet. Did your DH take any?

Thank you Chooklass she's a real sweetheart, going through a tough time, I'm sad she's had to deal with this too.

Hi @peachesarenom - I've seen her post recently too, but also not sure where. She's definitely much quieter since then so hope she's okay. I've learned a lot from her helpful and knowledgeable posts.

Welcome to the yammers @Hardws02 - sounds like you've been having a tough time.

FP arrived for me today, so Monday's super faint line was definitely false. Period much clottier than normal so wonder if it was a chem? Think I'd rather not know tbh! Might also be because of hysteroscopy earlier in cycle? Can't believe I'm still trying to understand my body 😂

Thank you HidCat I'll keep an eye out!

@peachesarenom I'm sure I saw her name pop up earlier today but I can't remember what it was on or how old. Sorry I can't be more help but I definitely recognise her name from something I've read recently.

Hi everyone,

I'm not a yammer or past yammer but I just did a search for a mate and it seems she was bring trolled on the conception board, someone recommended you guys to her, have any of you seen physicskate? I hope she hasn't left mumsnet!

@Hardws02 I'm sorry for your losses. Fingers crossed for no FP!

Just found this thread. FP. That made me laugh. Think I'll get on with you ladies just fine! 11dpo. First normal cycle since third miscarriage. Gone from desperately wanting period to come, to having everything crossed it doesn't. 2WW sucks.

That’s true @HidCat. I just wanted more raw emotion!! 😂

@LexieJean I love rewatching that period of the show. I always felt that they had resigned themselves to it and it felt like a positive step to them. I found that the episode where she's told she has an inhospitable uterus should have been dealt with better though.

Sorry you’re so fed up @pinkemi I second the suggestion you go see an ivf clinic- they often have free open events so you can just go and ask questions and learn about the process and costs.

Glad you’re ok @justwaiting, such crap news to process.

Good luck in the kidney market @bridget! 😉

I’m rewatching the old friends episodes and last night was Monica and chandler deciding to go for adoption. I was shocked by how little emotion they showed!! I know it was a light hearted sitcom (and has many problems in 2018) but seriously- no tears, no torment- no Monica poas and destroyed because yet again it’s a bfn, no wails about her FP. The whole process is referred to obliquely. Imagine if we re-wrote it.

@Pinkemi I don't know your full story but can feel your frustration in your posts Have your FPs always been all over or have they been better for stints? Have you got much weight to lose? My brother has struggled with his for years, had a gastric band when he was 28 in the end, very drastic.

@Justwaitingforaline hope the test results can give you some answers, nothing worse than being in the dark.

@bridget33 hope FP doesn't show up!

I'm entering TWT (two week torment). Just a matter of time before I'm a grumpy bitch again. Hormonal kicked off before O this month, hoping I might see an improvement now I'm on the B6, was taking 50mg a day and gone to 100mg a day post O. Going back to GP a week Monday to ask for 7DPO bloods. Hopefully she'll say yes as I'll be at exactly the right point in my cycle I think. Been in my new job three months now and it's TTC that makes me most pissy so I can't think there is anything left to be impacting me that I can alter now.

@Pinkemi if it's causing you anxiety then it can't be good for TTC either. Only thing to do is get on the weight loss. Every pound lost is a good thing.

Am having cramps so I think FP is on her way. Am thinking of selling a kidney so I can do ivf privately- any takers?! 🤣

@HidCat.. I just.. Dunno. I know its not that safe for me to pregnant at this weight.. and I just dont want to have to waste the £5k or whatever it is on IVF privately and for it to fail. I mean.. I know its not 100% that it will work if i was thinner... but we would have a better chance surely? Im just worried that my cycles are completely out of wack at the moment. Last period was 4 days late.. and now this one is 5 days early. It makes no sense.

@Pinkemi I'm so sorry Hun. Maybe a call to and IVF clinic for a consultation would help make your mind up? I think a lot of initial consultations can be free or low cost. I know plenty of overweight people who carry to term and have healthy babies so it's not a given that it would fail. I hope you're ok. xx

@Justwaitingforaline lovely to have you back. I'm glad things are moving along so you may get some answers before ivf starts.

Just checking in! I too have gone AWOL from MN. Being told that we have next to no chance of conceiving without ICSI and IVF reallynknocjed me for six, couples with my friend announcing DC number 3 in the time we’ve been trying for #2.

DH had an FSH blood test this morning to try to work out why his SA was so abysmal and another SA on the 14th of this month. We’re waiting on an appointment for the fertility clinic even though we can’t do IVF for a few years.

What the actual.....?!?! My OH and I DTD last night because for once we both felt like doing it.. and this morning I have woken up to blasted FP... 5 DAYS EARLY!?! I cant even pretend its something like implantation bleeding.. because im getting all the normal symptoms. (Tummy problems, cramps, etc etc.)

Spent most of the damn morning in tears.. and have just got to the feeling like.. enough is enough. Im fed up with this TTC naturally. Seriously beginning to consider going down the IVF route.. but still need to lose about 2 and a half stone before we can... Unless I just use the money ive saved up and do 1 round privately. But coz im so overweight I just dont know if its worth the money as will probably fail.

Oh I dont know.... So fed up.

@OrcinusOrca ah chick I'm on your wave length in im hinting today for another deed otherwise it'll be once the fw

@LexieJean I'm waiting to hear about a job I've had a phone interview for so let's see I'm not getting hopes up as obviously I'd rather be pregnant this cycle anyway but overall I am in a better mood today knowing my results are in and yes obviously it's the first step but at least it's a step finally!

@Chooklass sorry to hear, bastard FRER! I would have had my hopes up too

@Owlpatrol glad they found them!

My LH surge has vanished today so must O today or tomorrow, only DTD once in last week and have a headache so think I'll be writing June off. It's weird I get small glimmers of hope but they are very quickly dashed, perhaps by an injection of realism. I don't have any IC as I couldn't ever imagine getting a BFP on one, bit of a mental block and I'm too tight to have FRERs in, would be using them daily! No self restraint over here.

Oh @chooklass I’m sorry to hear that. Totally crap after the hope.

@owl I hope you’re feeling ok? I reassessed my life earlier this year and although I’m not available to create an international yam-tastic company with you I do hope you find something that will motivate you work wise. I can’t explain the switch in my mentality about TTC since the new job and acupuncture. I’m a new woman!! (Or more accurately more like the old me before I became TTC obsessive). Best of luck!

ah man... @Chooklass ... sorry to hear that!

Great news about the results coming back normal though @Owlpatrol!

Me.. I am trying to get to grips with the fact that i know my FP will start on Sunday. I feel disappointed at the moment.. but trying to focus on healthy eating and exercise. Time to drop this 4stone of mine! sigh

@Owlpatrol that's great news! I hope they didn't miraculously find them just because you were upset though! That would be awful service! Anyway, good outcome.
