Bloody hell, I admire your persistence to the very bottom of my heart. Honestly, I really do and wish you all the luck in the world because if anyone deserves a baby the lady with that kind of dedication has to be right up the list.

"Bored of counting, fed up of having to do the do for days on end, hate feeling guilty when we don't do it despite feeling like we should, sick of being jealous and coming up with a load of bollocks when people ask if we think we'll want to start trying for a family soon, had enough of acting like I'm not worried and that it's not getting to mand that I'm perfectly fine just waiting for nature of take it's course"

I hear you and I'm with you. I'm coming up to a year trying (which, I appreciate is not as long as some) and aside from a 'wobble' in my supremely regular cycle last July - nada, zip, zero, and a big fat nothing. I just want one. Just one. I've got names picked and everything. I know when I ovulate, I make sure I've had sex. I've spent months with my legs in the air after to try and encourage the bl*y things. I barely drink, I consume more vitamins than ever before, I no longer have hot baths... I'm starting to think a trip to the doctors is in order.

For distraction I have a cat. If all else fails i will be a mad cat lady :) .

PatientGriselda · 03/04/2011 18:02

Hot baths, you say? My one remaining solace has to go? Gah.

BenignNeglect · 03/04/2011 18:51

I admit - it may be overkill.

Ruthie32 · 03/04/2011 19:05

Benign - we got a cat a few months ago too!
I'm seeing my new doctor on Friday and will be asking for an appointment for me and the husband to go together and start to get tested.

fledtoscotland · 03/04/2011 20:42

Can I join you all?

We have been TTC #3 since january 2009 (properly making an effort to DTD at the right time, charting etc since June 2009), I fell pregnant on cycle 4 with DS1, we werent trying with DS2 who was born 11months after DS1.

GP has checked my bloods which are normal and DHs sample has come back ok. I have been getting positive OPC every month day 15 and cycle is regular as clockwork. We make sure we are DTD every 2-3 days from about day 9 of my cycle right through to day 25 which pretty much covers my fertile period.

Next step - been referred to Gyn as I only have one fallopian tube & ovary and GP thinks I have bowel adhesions from prev surgery.

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - why am I not pregnant??????

thankyou for starting this thread as its given me a chance to vent.

some one suggested acupuncture......what do you think? craptrap or worth a go?

BenignNeglect · 03/04/2011 20:51

Apparently it makes you feel pretty good if nothing else. Not sure I buy it though.

fledtoscotland · 03/04/2011 20:59

I had considered acupuncture and have had reiki. I know in Glasgow there is a acupuncture clinic that specialize in infertility so will heading that way if no joy at the consultant.

LankyLegs · 04/04/2011 10:09

Cherry go and spend the money you would have done on accupunture on a nice weekend away. Trust me I had 3 months of the stuff at £55 a pop and it didn't do anything (other than manke me feel like I was doing something towards TTC). A lot of good that did!

yup, you are right.

but desperation makes your normally sensible functioning brain think silly things doesnt it Grin

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 04/04/2011 10:15

Oh, can I join too. Waited 18 months to conceive dd. Now have been almost 2 1/2 years for no. 2. This is 4 years of my life spent obsessing about trying to get pregnant. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LankyLegs · 04/04/2011 10:16

Yep it does.. We have all been there and I did feel positive at the time, but am now considering jacking in all vitamins, temp taking, fecking mucus checking etc etc. Shitty period arrived this morning so feeling really pissed off about it but also in some ways I totally am becoming so blase about it all!

Just trying to focus on the fact the Spring is in the air and we can do whatever we want with our weekends and evenings (whilst drinking copious amounts of course) cause we don't have screaming babies yet. But of course... would give all that up very happily!

I wish someone would just say 'On this day you will get pregnant. Now go and get on with your life'......

joycep · 04/04/2011 11:30

I'm with LankyLegs about spending the money on going away. I had read so many positive stories about acupuncture and women falling pregnant left right and centre with a course of acu and I was very positive about it and desperate.... Yes it is relaxing and I felt like I was taking control of ttc but all I wanted was one extra day on my LP but now in month 3 it hasn't done anything apart from haemorrhage £50 every other week. I don't want to give it up though just in case i'm being inpatient.

I'm just getting emotionally exhausted by ttc now...as I walked through the park this morning to work I saw all the ducks preparing their nests for their offspring and remembered last year when they were doing this and thinking when I next see them do that I hopefully will be at least pregnant. It sucks that even the ducks are more fertile than me.

PatientGriselda · 04/04/2011 17:30

I am in the middle of booking a holiday right now. Though part of me is busy reminding myself of all rhe stories I've read about people who "gave up trying and went on holiday to forget about it" and then came home pregnant.

BenignNeglect · 04/04/2011 18:07

I'm technically on a holiday now. Two weeks carefully timed to minimise stress during the 'relevant period'. Work had the cheek to ask me for contact details for where I am staying "in case of an emergency"! Needless to say, they didn't get them.

Blush buggerlugs. It did work! I just posted because OP's OP kind of broke my heart and reminded me of my time....wanted to post in the vain hope my crazy bedroom gymnastics trick actually had anything to do with it!

Sorry Buggerlugs, it just means Original Poster - and Original Post, in the context of my post.

The person who started the thread is the Original Poster, and what she posted is the Original Post.
