Hello lovelies.
euro I hope your nursing a mild hangover. Sorry to hear your mum has been a bit distant as you've confided. Generally, I find that the majority of people struggle to respond to issues of fertility very well. This is much harder when it's your mum. Maybe it reminds her of a sad time or of aspects that she has found difficult in her own life? Mine is generally ok, but I really only ever want people to tell me that:
- it will all be ok in the end and I WILL have a baby.
- that they entirely understand how hard it must be
- together with lots of stories of success of other people!
If they've had their own struggles all the better. My mum is generally good at 2 and 3 but tends to be a bit too over realistic that I may end up childless.
Sorry to hear of the af visits nelly and kitty. My own period came a visiting this morning in the shower after 5!!! days of pathetic spotting. It is much heavier than normal and extremely painful so I'm making the most of a lazy Sunday to lie on the sofa with a hot water bottle and my new book The Hunger Games, which I'm enjoying a lot. My acupuncturist has debunked my theory that my spotting is because of weak eggs and says it a minor hormonal imbalance, bless her. She said she was working on making my periods heavier which she appears to have done. if someone offered me a heavy period for £115 in non ttc times I would have laughed in their face!
Is it just me, or do you lot tend to find yourselves very weepy the day before and on the first day of af? For me, I'm a grumpy evil cow about a week after ovulation which lessens into easily irritated before shifting to vulnerably weepy just before. Friday was spent maternity shopping with my pregnant friend. Dont want to be too much of a bitch in cyber space but I hated every minute of the experience and cried like a baby the minute I was in a taxi going home. It's not depressed weepy particularly, more like the feeling you get when you watch a sad film. I knew this month was a dud, I've been ill, not shagging with any kind of intent and notably pre-menstrual. But still. A year of no contrception has passed with nothing to show for it. Onto cycle 13 it is. Lap in December so no trying then. This next cycle feels like a last shot attempt before surgery! euro maybe cycle 13 will be actually lucky for us.
kitty a month off ttc felt quite blissful actually! It was also interesting noting 'symptoms' when I knew I wasn't pregnant. Speaking of which, my boobs have not been sore at all this month, they kind of do their own thing? I found the whole month went by much faster too, without day counting.
pixie good luck with the clomid. Let us know how it goes. Sorry to hear about the amh. Remember they're just numbers and the web is awash with people who have low amh or high fsh and conceive.
joycep are you going straight into iui no3?
