Yammers thread 9!

Yammer rules:

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. Please read the rules before posting!

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

-Thou shalt not post pictures of positive pregnancy tests. We will be delighted to hear about it but no photos, please and thank you

@chooklass I’m still around from the original first thread although don’t post as much anymore for my own sanity. It was me that started the though not tell me to eat yams thread...

Stillavicarinatutu I thunk did evatially end up pregnant via ivf and I think has now had baby? Not sure though but hope she has.

Would anybody like some IC ovulation tests and Proceive vitamins (men’s) before I offer them elsewhere? Don’t want any money or anything.

BGDino · 20/12/2018 06:49

@impatientmammy yes it’s a more precise version of OPK. They also look at your BHCG and if it’s high you have an US to check there aren’t more than 2 eggs. 3 or more = no go this cycle, 1 or 2 = thunderbirds are go.

impatientmammy · 19/12/2018 17:46

I've ordered some frers 🤦🏻‍♀️ not sure what it is about Christmas giving me false hope gunna test Christmas morning and if I'm not have a glass of Buck's Fizz while we open stockings. I face af type cramps already so I think af will come earlier than expected anyway x

impatientmammy · 19/12/2018 13:47

So would that be similar to 4 days from the positive opk or do bloods recognise it sooner? X

BGDino · 19/12/2018 13:45

@impatientmammy you have a blood test for the clinic to predict when you’re going to ovulate (they look for the LH surge for you) and then when they see it they literally ring you up and say “you should have sex as often as you can manage for the next 4 days”

impatientmammy · 19/12/2018 10:21

@BGDino what days do they advise? X

BGDino · 19/12/2018 02:16

We’ll have to have ovulation induction again as I don’t ovulate. Last time we DTD daily for the 4 days the fertility clinic advised us to, though one day that involved DH having some alone time followed by me having some time with a funnel Blush Not sure when we can try again.

impatientmammy · 18/12/2018 21:24

Static smiley not flashing smiley sorry. Also I got no flashing smiley this cycle 😒 x

impatientmammy · 18/12/2018 21:13

We vary on regularity with oh working away so much. This cycle we did the day before flashing smiley and 3 after it I dunno if that's 3 or 4 fertile days x

Aph413 · 18/12/2018 20:46

Because I no longer have any clue when fertile week is this cycle I have decided to be clinical and we have dtd pretty much every other day bar a week when I was ill. That's 87 of dtd every other day. I'm so fed up Blush. Luckily I got a positive opk today and a smilie on my cbd so a la sperm meets egg we did it yesterday and today and will dtd again tomorrow and the day after. And I hope to god that's it and I either get FP or a bfp.

Owlpatrol · 18/12/2018 20:17

Ahhh @impatientmammy I hope your panto was fun though! I can't decide what we night be doing wrong. Can I have a poll how often yammers dtd during the month/fertile week? We usually manage 3 which should be enough but usually we are sooooo tired!

@Tefiti2 Welcome out of the lurker's closet!

impatientmammy · 18/12/2018 19:38

I know how you feel @Owlpatrol we've had a lot of bad news here lately. If someone who did something I can easily replicate such as wearing pink socks on ovulation day or something could be the one with that magic second line too I'd appreciate it. I hope he does it

Forgot we booked a pantomime tonight realised at the time it finished had a tantrum nearly cried. PS 3dpo so not pregnant just ttc and crazy x

Owlpatrol · 18/12/2018 19:31

@Tefiti2 welcome!!

@impatientmammy he seemed fine I think he thinks I'm joking!

@JustLikeTheySaid argh pants!

This week is driving me to drink I can tell you! My fp has lingered for 10 days this time!!! Got so much on at work and home, I'll be needing my Bailey's come Xmas eve. I swear we need a yammer pregnancy soooooon

BGDino · 18/12/2018 13:38

@JustLikeTheySaid hugs have a drink with me (I had a laaarge glass of wine tonight)

impatientmammy · 18/12/2018 08:43

@JustLikeTheySaid sorry, I hope your ok. At least you can have a drink now I suppose x

JustLikeTheySaid · 18/12/2018 06:27

A negative FRER at 10DPO today. So that's me out again.

impatientmammy · 17/12/2018 22:30

Awww wow @Owlpatrol good for you? What did he say?
@cupcakesandglitter he's still sore but no need to worry cause he can rest it for about 3 weeks now 😂
@Tefiti2 welcome, sorry to hear of your miscarriages. I had a surprise pregnancy first time around I was in total shock that fertility appears to be a fleeting friend 😒 how olds your LO ? X

Tefiti2 · 17/12/2018 20:50

Ok @Chooklass I am officially de lurking myself! Been TTC for 12 cycles now. Had 2 early MCs - one in Jan 17 and the other in March 17, not a sausage since then. I have endometriosis so have been referred to Gynae - not sure what will happen next. I was a fertile fecker in a previous life (fell pregnant with my DC very easily) so finding this all new and slightly scary.

cupcakesandglitter · 17/12/2018 20:39

@impatientmammy 😂😂 I hear that. I take it the problems been solved now? 😂😂

Owlpatrol · 17/12/2018 20:16

Oh @BGDino that's shit! Sending lots of hugs and a bottle of wine or two to help pass the time!

Nothing to report here cycle day 5 waiting for the end of to. Feeling a bit more festive now I'll be fertile over Xmas week so not testing till new year. Thinking of going on a health kick new year and ive told dp he's got to go for his tests otherwise I'm stopping ttc!

@impatientmammy I'm about 4/5 dpo. FP due 27th which is crap! Will probably have a little bit to drink on Christmas anyway because the chance of being pregnant is so unlikely and I don't want to have a miserable time!

OP posts:
JustLikeTheySaid · 17/12/2018 17:31

I'm 10DPO tomorrow so I could test on a FRER but I don't know if I am going to. Not sure I can bear the upset... having all my usual cramps in preparation for FP.

Feel I need to test before I'm actually due on because FP is due on 22nd and my family will be here for Christmas by then. I need to know in advance really.

So I might POAS tomorrow. Who knows.

impatientmammy · 17/12/2018 15:26

Thank you @cupcakesandglitter I wouldn't care if I wasn't fertile 😂
How's everyone doing? We've done our very best this cycle and I'm 2dpo now. Would give it one last try but we won't be together tonight so it's up to fate now. I'm pleased I can relax now. Don't think I have the guts to test on Christmas Day though so I'll wait for af or not 🤞 anyone due before Christmas? Hope we get a yammer BFP x
