With low morphology you should just go straight for IVF :(

Winkle / red / kitten - ladies i am with you!! Altho I do like my job ok I kind of feel ready for a new challenge but its hard to know if this is a good time to move while ttc esp as im likely to have HG (unless its 3rd time likely which i doubt!) and i'll end up off on the sick for 6 weeks. I'd like to lose last of baby weight and get in shape again but hard to see what point is while ttc. Just feel fed up today!! Something in work hacked me off and then a lady asked me was I expecting again - I dont think (i hope!) that i was looking fat today but i think she'd heard over summer i was pg but she hadnt heard i'd lost the baby. She def wasnt trying to annoy me but it was icing on cake of slightly rubbish Monday :( :( oh well, best just get back to dtd tonight and then 2moro nite is last night off for a while lol

yikes any news???

LittleMissSnowShine · 12/11/2012 17:23

Also Wine for all, think we deserve some. And mega size family bars of Galaxy, one each. Nom

winkle2 · 12/11/2012 18:33

I had a heavy weekend on the wine so ill take the choc instead!!

Spent the afternoon with my sister and get 2 children yesterday. Very hard esp as my sister was asking me when I'm going to have a baby. Sigh.

Hi everyone! Can I join? DH and I have been TTC since February (9 months). Thinking we might take a month off in December as I'm going mad with all this!! (and there's way too much alcohol and yummy stuff around to abstain Wink) xx

winkle2 · 12/11/2012 19:23

Welcome mumbags!

LittleMissSnowShine · 12/11/2012 19:39

Winkle - does your sis not know that u hav been ttc? Hav u told any real life friends / family? Id say thats tough going :(

Welcome mumbags! I will be shagging, drinking and eating cheese while ttc, abstaining never going to work for me, not much willpower lol so come join!!

winkle2 · 12/11/2012 19:48

Yes she does know, she wanted to know if there was something wrong cause its taking so long. We were both trying at the beginning of the year, she got pregnant first month and has a 4-week old. I, well as you know, I have nothing :(

Kittenkatzen · 12/11/2012 19:48

Welcome mumbags - going to feel a bit odd calling you mum for short. Or bags for that matter! Grin

Definitely no abstaining here either - in fact I spent the whole of last week stuffing my face with all sorts of pâté, soft cheeses, runny eggs and rare steak in an effort to dare a bfp out....didn't work, bah. Was a yummy few days though and now I'm fat Smile

Kittenkatzen · 12/11/2012 19:51

Oh god winkle that's Sad for you. And a little insensitive of your sister too, depending how she phrased it I guess. Thanks from me, I've had similar from SIL by email all day today so can sympathise.

winkle2 · 12/11/2012 20:02

She didn't say it horribly. She knows I have been to the docs and asked if all was ok and she asked if I'd been eating my greens lol.

If something was wrong with me I would tell her but as its my OH's morphology issue I can't say anything as he doesn't want me to - and I can understand that.

redstrawberry · 12/11/2012 21:19

winkle and littlemiss ill join with the wine and chocs Sad

Feel like absolute shite today. We've only dtd twice this month and I am so dry down there. We were planning to dtd tonight but I just can't get into the mood and DH is shattered too. Feel like sobbing and screaming but I just don't know what to do. I am in my fertile period so could OV anytime. Even bought some conceive plus from boots today as a final act of desperation. I just don't know how people fall pregnant easily. This is making me so depressed - our sex life is getting so blah now! I don't want to make a baby this way Sad

Sorry having a bad day...

Hey mumbags welcome to the thread

redstrawberry · 12/11/2012 21:20

winkle one day you WILL be holding a 4week old baby. Don't loose hope....I'm trying to cling on to whatever little I have left x

YikesHereWeGo · 12/11/2012 21:32

Hello everyone. Thank you all for the positive vibes. Still feeling v nervous. I bought 3 more tests yesterday (2x super drug and one digi) and plan to test every day until I'm sure. This morning's test (super drug) was a bit inconclusive if I'm totally honest. Ever so slightly darker than yesterday but not enough to convince DH who is back in denial-mode.
kitten - sorry about AF. Here's to fine food and Wine - it's what's (almost) kept me sane this year.
littlemiss - grrr for insensitive comments from colleagues.
red and winkle - don't be sad. Ttc is shit but we have to persevere. It WILL pay off in the end.

winkle2 · 12/11/2012 21:45

Red - yea ill be holding a 4-week old baby but will it ever be mine :(

Don't stress about dtd tonight. You can do it every 2-3 days so take the pressure off and do it tomorrow?

Yikes - good luck for tomorrow, make sure you let us know how you get on.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 12/11/2012 22:37

Sorry so many people are having a crap day

littlemiss sorry about the comments. People don't mean to be insensitive but they bloody manage it a lot.

winkle I really hope you don't need ivf. You probably won't, low morphology will just mean it takes longer. On the positive if you do need ivf there is nothing wrong with you so you have a good shot of it bring successful. (It won't come to that though).

red Thanks just really really sorry you are having a rough time.

yikes I have everything crossed for you.

LittleMissSnowShine · 13/11/2012 07:03

red - know what u mean, also did not dtd last night, just not in flippin mood!

Because i got pg with DS so easily i wasnt exactly confident with my irregular cycles that ttc #2 would be completely straightforward but if someone had told me 2012 was going to be like this, i might have just decided not to.bother. Thats not to say this year hasnt had any good points, but ttc has really cast a shadow over it. Oh well, couple.more days in work& a few more shags and its the weekend and im off to a wedding, which should be fun and allow me to stop thinking about ov 24/7!!!!

Yikes - hope things look more definite today

winkle - thats tough, not really being able to talk about things with your sis but understand yr OH being sensitive about that :(

redstrawberry · 13/11/2012 08:25

I know what you mean littlemiss when I reflect back on this year I feel I will just remember the sad times. We've been on two holidays, had a big birthday celebration, lot of good times with friends and family, but at the end of it all I will ever remember is this ttc nightmare -which is what its starting to feel like. I hate the whole process.

winkle it will be your beautiful little one, and I know at the moment its grim, but one day you will be a mum. I want that day to come soon for all of us on the thread.

how you been when?

Also does anyone know how likely the chances of conception are with creamy CM during fertile time? I haven't had any watery CM or EWCM for the last 4 days. just wondered so I can prepare myself for AF to arrive.

winkle2 · 13/11/2012 09:32

I agree red. Oh and I were talking last night about how it will be December soon and how our whole year has been taken up ttc and feeling like this.

OP posts:
LittleMissSnowShine · 13/11/2012 14:07

I really value having DS so nuch more because ot it and I'm just enjoying every minute i spend with him, only silver lining of having to wait so long for #2...silver lining i suppose, and it will be the sane for you ladies, when you do get your bfps you will be that bit more excited and when your babies arrive you will appreciate them a hundred times more knowing how long you had to wait xx

LittleMissSnowShine · 13/11/2012 14:10

red - i wasnt even thinking about cm, mostly cos i didnt know what it was, when i got pg with DS. Ewcm is just an indicator of fertile time, i dont think its 100% reliable, some ladies get it days before ov, others just hours before and some ladies get so little they dont even.notice it but they are still fertile so fx for you

Lolcbcblemonlime · 13/11/2012 15:37

Same for me here. Had amazing holidays and lots of happy things but my mc and the fact that I don't yet have a baby are the main things in my mind.

redstrawberry · 13/11/2012 22:23

Thanks littlemiss we managed a sneaky dtd this morning. Hoping to get another one in this week. I don't think every day or every other day is going to work this month. Just tired of sex right now. Just hope this cycle is different.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 13/11/2012 23:27

Hi red I'm not doing too bad thanks. Having a break from ttc is definitely helping. Reading all your posts is heartbreaking, ttc is just horrible.

Dh and I dtd last night for the first time in ages just cause we felt like it Grin

Really hope you all get some good news soon and completely ruin your Xmas by turning it into a booze free zone.

winkle2 · 13/11/2012 23:34

Hi when :)

Soooo want this Xmas to be a booze free zone!!!!
