A whole load of “up yours” to ttc

I saw a post like this on a non conception board and thought it was quite funny and cathartic so I thought I’d start one.

I’ve got a whole bag of “up yours” to the trying to conceive process. Who wants one?! I’ll start.

Up yours to 10 months of ttc #2 and everyone telling me it’s quicker the second time around as your body knows what to do.

Up yours to indent lines on one step tests and frer’s

Up yours to people telling me to “relax and it will happen”.

Up yours to the age gap which is quickly getting bigger and bigger between DS1 and potential DC2.

That’s me done.

Up yours to af arriving (with a vengeance) a whole 10 days later than ever before!

Up yours to all the symptoms my body 'thought' I had

Up yours to my mind getting totally carried away and planning how and when to tell people and everything else

Up yours to the day AF is due and feeling on tenterhooks all day before she isn't here yet and you'd just rather know one was or another.

Sorry, should have been @DollyWilde! Annoyingly the android app doesn't automatically link usernames so you have to remember them 🤦🏻‍♀️

mummabubs · 24/10/2019 21:04

Already have done earlier today @DollieWilde. Still processing it all and trying to keep a brave face. (but not doing very well).

Bananaloaf88 · 24/10/2019 20:59

@MumMabubs that's not fair! He should've told you at the beginning. Flowers

Dollywilde · 24/10/2019 20:02

Oh @mummabubs I’m so sorry Flowers

Sorry if I’m overstepping the thread but might it be worth posting in Relationships? That’s got to be hard to hear. (Unmumsnetty hug and xxx)

mummabubs · 24/10/2019 19:55

Up yours TTC#2 for 6 months only for your husband to announce he doesn't want any more children and only went along with the previous 6 cycles to keep you happy.

tiggerifficmummy · 24/10/2019 14:45

I've got to stay I'm still hoping for the bfp but if af showed instead at least I'd know one way of the other! Hope you get some news either way soon @Bananaloaf88

Up yours to AF Eve (the poorer bloodier sister of Christmas Eve). Up yours for letting me think that these "symptoms" may be preggo symptoms, when in fact you are exactly the same as AF symptoms. Halloween Envy

@tiggerifficmummy I am at the point I just want AF to show up. I have had quite a stressful year already and starting a new job very soon. Maybe if I hadn't everything else ontop of this I wouldn't be feeling as anxious.

tiggerifficmummy · 24/10/2019 12:40

It's the not knowing isn't it @Bananaloaf88

VenusStarr · 24/10/2019 12:12

Ffs @Dbrook I'm going to double your up yours to that person who got knocked up while her husband works away!! 🙄

Flowers I'm sorry about your mc too

Bananaloaf88 · 24/10/2019 12:05

@TigGerifficmummy CD41 here. No bfp or period. Feeling the same as you Flowers

tiggerifficmummy · 24/10/2019 11:46

Up yours to cd39 and STILL no bfp 😭 even though I've never been this late

And up yours to the fact I'm now petrified there's something wrong with me 😞

Dollywilde · 24/10/2019 11:21

@Rhubarbe Oh that's so shitty... up yours to your delayed ovulation!

Up yours to talking to friends last night about a trip we are taking and knowing that I will get my period during it and not be able to take to my bed and be sad.

Rhubarbe · 23/10/2019 19:35

Up yours to stupid delayed ovulation and getting EWCM just after DP goes away for three nights Halloween Angry

Dbrook · 23/10/2019 13:56

Up yours to my friend who conceived even though her husband works in a different country during the week.

Up yours to getting my period this morning.

Up yours to thinking I might be pregnant this cycle because I had really bad gas. No I just had really bad gas.

Up yours to it being 10 months since my miscarriage and wondering if that was my only chance.

Dollywilde · 23/10/2019 13:41

Up yours to the fact we had to decide on our menu choices for the work Xmas dinner today and I had to pick soup as my starter just in case I get pregnant this cycle and can't have the chicken terrine or the tuna carpaccio....

I am already fully grumpy about the fact that I won't get pregnant this cycle and I will be sitting there sipping my motherf*cking soup while jealously staring at everyone else's starters and hating TTC.

@LorelaiRoryEmily it took us 10 months with DS (now 27months). Didn't think i would be going through this again either. Glad you've joined the thread. Keep the up yours coming xxx

LorelaiRoryEmily · 23/10/2019 09:37

@Chefwifelife it's awful isn't it? I don't tell people that we're trying, dc1 took 2years 7 months to happen for us with no intervention. I thought I'd be one of those people who after struggling the first time just got pregnant first try the second time.

@LorelaiRoryEmily I feel you on the DC2. 10 months here and everyone going "at least your body knows what to do!"

OP posts:
LorelaiRoryEmily · 22/10/2019 22:31

Up yours to 16 fucking months ttc dc2

Up yours to the gap that's getting bigger and bigger

Up yours to SIL for asking if I'm pregnant every fucking time I see her. She doesn't even know we're trying

Up yours to every fucking prick who tells me it's time for another one

Up yours to everyone who gets pregnant by accident

Up yours to my shitty cycle that's anywhere from 27-35 days

Up yours to the absolute heartbreak ever time my period starts.

Thanks OP. Good to get it all out.

MrsN2121 · 22/10/2019 21:21

Up yours to being 9 days PO and being an absolute bi*ch and snapping at everyone because I'm stuck in limbo waiting for AF to turn up next week and knowing that if she does I'll feel like my heart has been stamped on for yet another month.

BezalHell · 22/10/2019 20:15

Up yours to PMT symptoms being beguilingly similar to early pg symptoms.

Up yours to the shameful feeling of jealousy on seeing a friend's lovely newborn.

Up yours to unfollowing said friend on FB, plus anyone else who might have a whiff of pregnancy about them.

Ugh.
