Welcome becks and gameover sorry you've found yourself on here. it really is a bummer BUT this is a good place to hang out til the bfp finally shows up it's late and lazy arse. Finding a way to switch off, if even for a little bit has been good for me. I try to plan nice stuff, listen to meditations, yoga, baths and lots of reading of non ttc things. And baking.
princess oh im sorry about your ovaries (my friend calls hers bobbly ovaries) it's another kick when you get news that isn't what you want to hear. But, if this is the problem, there are solutions that they will plan for you. It's horrible thinking your equipment is a bit different but remember it's common and the equipment is bloody complicated. I'm glad you have found solace on here. I joined last summer and it was a godsend to talk with people who understand and who I have virtually become very very fond of. TTC in the real world can be very lonely but 18 months in and many conversations with others later, fertility troubles are common. They just tend to remain hidden. Unless you're me and tell any old bob a job who'll listen! Hope you feel better very soon.
pout the lap for me was a bit compounded by the fact that it was three days before Xmas and I had to go to a big family do on Xmas eve. This was fine but it has made me remember feeling woozy and full of trapped wind more than I might have done if I could have just stayed in bed! The wound hurts for a couple of days but more it is inside that is bruised and tender. And the trapped air (which you sadly can't fart out) was uncomfy. But I think uncomfy is the better word, rather than pain. They will give you painkillers. It was a few days before I could roll over in bed but mostly it was the anaesthetic that knocked me about and like euro I had a rashy reaction after. You will be ok on your own but dog walking would have been too much for me, the whole thing made me shattered.
joycep sorry about af, it's mean when you have hope. Hope you're ok.
lemon and euro I have a similar scale of if it's ok to be pregnant. smoking/big drinking/weed/instant conception/accidents/junk food make feel a bit hard done by.
mrsden thank you for the description of the clinic I found it really interesting and helpful! When do you start?
Limp tail feathers artemis I know the feeling! I'm worried mine are also looking a bit sparse. A tail feather spruce would be nice. In fact wouldn't a ttc make over be good? Tidy ovaries and womb, plump up the lining, polish the egg and spruce up the sperm. Throw in a nice load of ewcm and bobs your uncle, bfp guarantee or your money back. Now that would make the stirrups feel worthwhile.
gin how's it going?
Good luck with the tests beryl
Lisa im sorry about your crappy crappy day and your gp changing her tune a bit. You are not too old and there will be a way for you. Hugs.
ladygee I worry about nk cells as I'm so bloody allergic to everything. It's a minefield isn't it?
Hope I got everyone in there and waves to everyone else. Special wave to any graduates reading, do come and tell us how you're doing, you are missed!
I am scared of my operation. And that is mostly how I'm feeling. And I finally got to meet my siblings little one this week even though they were born last summer (long long long way away) and it was lovely lovely but the cold wind did blow thru my poor wonky womble.
