That's friends, cousins, colleagues, neighbours and a freaking DOG. And still not me.

I really thought that this might be my year :(

I'm so sorry. This exact thing happened to me. Was my mother in laws dog too.

I wish I could say something to make it better, but I know I can't. Huge hugs to you

AliciaMayEmorysOutfit · 14/10/2019 20:11

Thank you Flowers I'm actually laughing at the absurdity of it all.

We ended up with one of the puppys! 😂

AnneLovesGilbert · 14/10/2019 20:20

There’s no fucking justice in baby making. Sorry you’re having a shit time Flowers

limesoda · 14/10/2019 20:22

It is the worst. Nothing to make it better, but sympathy for sure.

Chilledout11 · 14/10/2019 20:22

Oh god. That's fucking hard Sad don't know what to say Flowers

TeapotsLoveYouLots · 14/10/2019 20:24

It's utter utter shit, I got jealous of everyone! Even people I followed on Instagram.

It was like they were taking me turn 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Absolutely bonkers but god it felt so real

Wearenotyourkind · 14/10/2019 20:24

I feel this...my friend just got pregnant with a fucking coil fitted! It just doesn't seem fair, does it. Sending love OP 💕

AliciaMayEmorysOutfit · 14/10/2019 20:24

Loopylou we seem to be on similar trajectories, so please, please, please tell me your luck changed and mine will too? Flowers

There is absolutely no justice in babymaking, you are right.

I hope that doesn't sound flippant, think I'm slightly hysterical

I’m sorry. It’s so unfair.

Mooey89 · 14/10/2019 20:26

I’m so sorry OP.
I’m in the same boat, it’s fucking brutal.

AliciaMayEmorysOutfit · 14/10/2019 20:32

I am so sorry that you're all in the same crappy boat too.

I have a lovely 4 year old dog, and our third attempt at IVF worked and I have 2 year old beautiful twin girls. It was a long hard road though with multiple cancelled transfers and other false starts and I don't think the hopeless feeling will ever leave me.

Are you having treatment at the moment?

Cactuscacti · 14/10/2019 20:35

I’m so sorry OP. I struggled for a year before I conceived.

I like loopy’s story that she ended up with one of the puppies... a positive to what is a really tough time Flowers

Pregnancy is like buses - they all come along at once (except the one you want). I had many years of infertility so know its not a nice place to be the worst was my sister got pregnant (accidently with casual encounters) twice.
On a positive note I now have 3DC and really appreciate them and they know they are very loved and wanted children.
Best of luck with your journey its hard to focus on anything but getting pregnant when every one else has what you want. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to express the emotions you're feeling.

Elieza · 14/10/2019 21:03

Go on the lucky 8 ball ask me anything thread and see if it gives you hope for a pregnancy soon. Grin
Could all be woo woo but I’m a believer.

TommyShelby · 14/10/2019 22:02

I’m with you OP. It’s not bloody fair, at all. I’m fed up of it too. Really hope it comes for you soon Flowers

AliciaMayEmorysOutfit · 14/10/2019 22:05

No, no treatment currently. Keep putting off going to the GP and telling myself that this will be the month. Thank you (all) for being so understanding.

SarahAndQuack · 14/10/2019 22:22

Oh, love.

You replied so kindly to my thread and now I've just seen yours!

But - do go to the GP. The worst they can do is nothing. At best, it could help? I had several years with a useless GP who kept telling me to wait it out, then a much more helpful one sent me for routine tests that found a very common, very treatable condition (it's a blood clotting disorder and you take blood thinners - I think they said it is something like the second most common cause of miscarriages and a common cause of infertility in general).

Loopylou1984 · 14/10/2019 22:22

How long have you been ttc?

2 recommendations:

  1. join one of the ttc threads on here (infertility if you've been trying a long time, conception board if you feel happier there). Talking to people who were going through the same saved me

  2. see your GP ASAP and tell them you've been trying for over 2 years. They will do some basic tests and it might be something really simple. If not they'll refer you to a specialist once you've been ttc for 2 years. Not knowing is definitely worse.
