Fuck you TTC

@painintheholeSIL I’m so sorry about your mum. And to hear it didn’t happen for you 🩷

Well I have been doing ivf stims for the last 2 weeks and my ovaries feel like they’re going to burst.
be good eggs. Please.

@Kate3150 This is only our first cycle for #2, currently 3DPO. It took over a year to have DD (ectopic included) so not expecting anything to happen any time soon!

@Needallthesleep @ChelleF123 @MrsB2019x
Thank you all so much for replying.
I’m so happy you had a positive outcome.
@MrsB2019x do you mind me asking how long you’ve been TTC#2? I’m approaching 7th cycle now xx

Congratulations @Needallthesleep @MrsB2019x @ChelleF123 -thanks for replying xx

I have also been lucky enough to have a 2 year old daughter and I’m now saying “fuck you TTC #2”!
It feels so hopeless at the time when you feel like you’re trying everything but nothing is working, but there is hope and your time will come

Just saw this thread come up again, and we have just celebrated the 3rd birthday of the one I was TTC at the beginning of this thread.

I said to myself I wouldn’t get stressed about it all, but I felt it was easier to feel like that in the early months but I now I’m very aware of each cycle and the time it is taking.
Fingers crossed for next month and those of you also still trying xx

We had a bit of a bumpy road but it did eventually lead to success!
Our daughter was born in June this year after 4 ivf embryo transfers and losing our son (2nd embryo transfer) at 17 weeks and an early miscarriage from our 3rd transfer. Never believed it would happen but we finally have our rainbow.

@Kate3150 good luck. It took quite a few of my friends until around the 1 year mark, so fingers crossed it happens for you in the next few months

@ChelleF123 so sweet of you to reply and congratulations.
That really is lovely news to hear 💛
@CycleGirl20 we have been trying naturally. I’m early 30’s so will just keep going I guess and if we get to the year mark will go to see the Doctor.
Really hope it’s positive for you 💜

@ChelleF123 congratulations ☺️.

@Kate3150 and @PinkRoses1984 sorry to hear you're struggling. Infertility sucks. @Kate3150 is it cycle 7 of IVF or trying naturally?

I had a baby in 2022 through IVF. Currently in the 2 week wait for my first frozen transfer from the same batch 🤞

@PinkRoses1984 @Kate3150 this came into my notifications. I posted here early 2020. I had a 2nd mc in Nov 2020. I got pregnant again in January 2021. I had my baby boy in Oct 2021 when I was 39, after 2 and a half years of TTC.

I know how hard it is. Sending love!

Also just had a read through of the thread and hope too there has been some success stories for you all 🤞🏻
I’m having a very bluegh week with the whole TTC malarky, can feel my period is on its way and will be entering cycle 7!! X

Followed this thread but not posted before it does appear to have ended but just wandered if anyone on this thread had any success stories I'm still struggling and would like to know if it's still possible!

This thread is great. Too many fuck you's to list but:

FUCK YOU to TTC for 5 fucking years and still having hope that this will be the month I get a surprise BFP (can we all just take a moment to laugh at how ridiculous that is!)

Just reading through this thread and it made me feel better. A friend at work is going on mat leave and she told me really she'd planned to have her second in August, but her bad luck she's due this month instead! But oh well, she said, you can't plan these things and sometimes it takes a tad longer. 2 months longer than she wanted!!! A whole 2 months!!! I could be having a baby soon by now and I'm not even pregnant yet

TTC defo sucks! I defo feel you @ALuckyEllie on your points. No applying for new jobs and then having to live your life in case you might be pregnant.

Love the thread!

Oh can I join in?TTC number 1- for 18 months.

Fuck having moved to a 3 bed house in a good school area and currently having no use for the size (and bigger mortgage!)

Fuck having not applied for jobs because ‘it would be mean to start and go straight on maternity leave.’

Fuck me for finding it so hard to be happy for other people getting pregnant so easily, I’m turning into a horrible person.

Fuck my lack of willpower when trying to loose a bit of weight to see if that helps and then every month giving up because ‘what’s the point.’

I feel like I’ve wasted the last 2 years, like I’ve got nothing to show for it and I am beyond furious. I can’t settle to do anything or make plans because I think ‘oh well if you get pregnant next month you’ll be this pregnant then.’

I am angry all the time, my poor beautiful husband. Gah. Anyway I feel better now 😂

Fuck you Ashermans.

Fuck you to all the GPs who told me to 'just keep waiting' maybe you are stressed'

Fuck you to the friend who when I actually told her the whole story, advised me to 'just relax' MY INSIDES WERE GLUED TOGETHER. No amount of relaxing was going to fix that.

Fuck you to the same friend who immediately made it a competition by telling me how many miscarriages she has had and then tried to minimise the impact on me by saying 'but I thought you didn't really want children anyway'

Fuck you to the fact that it was my wedding anniversary on Monday and all I could think was 'well that's two years of trying and failing'

I really think I need counselling now. I have shut so many people out of my life and I don't want to be around anyone.

Can I join in?

Fuck my period for arriving today, fuck my 2ww ‘symptoms’ including even going off my beloved tea, feeing nauseous etc.

Fuck 6 months of ttc #1 and my great old age of 38+3months. Fuck the fact that because I am so old we need to go straight to tests and clinics because the clock is fucking ticking.

Fuck all the coy pregnancy announcements and ‘look at my bump’ posts and fuck all the people whinging about how hard having kids is - yes, but at least you had some to moan about - (yes ofc legitimate things to grumble about in parenthood but this thread/my whinge is not the place for them).

Fuck poas and getting a stark white ‘no’ every time. Fuck all the supplements I am taking and the things I cannot have because I am ttc/‘might be pregnant’.

There, I fee better, thank you

I've posted here before, and wanted to share a podcast/ online book ive found helpful; rosanne Austin - from maybe to baby. Just in case anyone needs a boost of empowerment! Once you get past the American-ness, it's actually really helped me on my darkest points x

Had to join in.

Fuck everyone I know getting pregnant cycle 1

Fuck constant baby chat

Fuck my body not doing the one thing it ducking should

Fuck never a hint of a line. Ever.

Fuck pumping myself full of vitamins and doing everything fucking possible

Fuck TTC

Fuck you to seeing this every single fucking month

Fuck my body for being a piece of shit and not doing what it fucking should
