shit things about ttc......

[carriedababi]

1, being unable to book next years holidays, as we don't know if i'll be pg or even have a baby by then

2, not being able to fully commit to starting out on certain things in case you can't cary on

3, waiting for your period

Slightobsession join me on the Waiting Thread. My DH has got such chronic Fear Of Fatherhood I'm surprised they haven't taken him away for medical experiments!

whereismywine you just made my laugh out loud. I always lie in bed after sex for ages (don't want to let any escape) haha it is SUCH an inconvenience sometimes! I wonder if there is actually any point doing that? How long can they take to swim up there?

I've been ttc for nearly 3 years (have had 1 m/c) and have come on here for a bit of support. I can't talk about it to friends any more, worried I'm doing their heads in!

Been TTC for too long awaiting IVF which is on hold due to unfinished mmc.

BOOK the holiday, get the insurance then cancel. If you book overseas then guidelines are an early scan should be done to rule out ectopic ( so if gp will not do scan should sign paper work), if travelling to anywhere with malaria should not go if pregnant, if you get ill hyperemesis you obviously cannot travel etc just make sure you get the insurance when you book.

Good luck on this tiring and sometimes insensitive journey

some things to add to the never ending list...

Not getting any bloody work done because I'm looking on here and on the internet about old wives cures that might help with my fertility....

Knowing that my in laws see me as their only chance and not being able to tell them that we are trying and thinking that they are thinking that I'm holding back on them.

PG friend who had so much trouble getting PG telling me that if I chill out it'll happen.... she bloody well knows that that isn't true FFS

Not being able to book to do a half marathon just in case

schizophrenic diet and exercise routine because I've read that being underweight can upset fertility (must stop gymming), but then not wanting to get too fat so that hubby won't want to shag me (must go gymming)

never ending guilt at drinking alcohol, but needing it to get me through the disappointment every month

Not being able to tell my hubby how much of an obsessive crazyperson I'm being about it all

dontcarehow I feel your pain, if one more friend tells be to just relax and it'll happen........ I too have given up running due to friends nagging me, even though I miss it and I know it its absolutely ridiculous to think that it stops you getting pregnant!

It's therapeutic to read about other people going through the same thing, it is quite a lonely thing this ttc business. It's a bit of a taboo subject to talk about.

We must try to be patient and count our blessings x :)

Not being recommended to read this book 4 yrs ago when I came off the pill; 'the infertility cure' by randine Lewis.

Being told you have to wait 'x' amount of years before you can TTC by DP, But I want a baby now :( Never agree to a 5 year plan ladies, never ever do it!!!

not been able to set a date for a wedding before saving up enough money first as you just know as soon as you pay the deposit you will be PG. Furthermore due date will be date wedding is booked for.

Everyone staring at your stomach constantly and as soon as you get a bit fat bit bloated start giving each other knowing glances that are so wrong.

Been told gran would love to be a great gran is she is around long enough with looks of hurry up and stop been so selfish.

That feeling of "oh i might be oh i might be... no Im not" every single month.
