Sorry, haven't been on the thread (or MN) for a while, AF/the ttc fairy have been messing with me lately. Last month's AF didn't show at all, this month's is 3 days late and still no BFP - no idea what's going on! Glad to hear one more here might be upduffed though Grin.

Kittenkatzen · 03/12/2012 13:52

Thanks girls Thanks red you're spot on, I'm not not happy for them, but I am sad that it's not us. Still feeling teary and pathetic but you'll be pleased to know I've got over myself enough to drop SIL a (sincerely meant) congrats text didn't nearly break my phone banging the buttons in temper honest

Right, I'm off to buy some wellman vits and conceive plus then. And chocolate. Bollocksing TTC Angry

Hi always hope the witch puts you out of your misery soon - or that you get a nice shiny BFP of course! :o

alwaysawake · 03/12/2012 14:06

Sorry kittenkatzen, think you should pat yourself on the back for being able to congratulate them, you're allowed to feel down that it's not you without meaning anything against them.

Dreading a similar situation myself, SIL & partner said they were thinking about starting to try about 18 months ago and I think they changed their mind (judging by the amount of time they go out drinking) but can't say for sure. Recently MIL has been dropping very strong hints to them about wanting them to have a baby. None of them know we're trying so am irrationally dreading them announcing they're pregnant one day soon, because I want it to be us first - not because of being 'first' or anything but just so I'll know we're going to have one and not watch them have one while quietly losing hope Blush.

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 14:09

Oh kitten I completely understand how you feel. I second everything red says. I have to spend time with my nieces and nephews and wishing wishing wishing it was me. It's so hard all the time.

It's so MY turn too. MINE MINE MINE!!

My husband didn't want to go and visit our new niece because he didn't want to be fake happy for them.

It's really shitty.

It's never to early for wine when ttc! It's what keeps me sane! how long you've been trying?

winkle it most definitely is your turn, and the thing is i am always genuinely happy whenever someone here gets their bfp - it's just people in real life that I'm Envy of!

always I know that feeling of dread well, I really really hope it doesn't come true for you and your SIL is still just thinking about it!

We've been trying since the start of May, so 7 months / 8 cycles. Which I know is nothing compared to some of you, and I have been feeling mostly ok about it up until now - I had literally just convinced myself that it won't happen this month but that's ok because a bfp next month would mean a September baby. Bah.

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 17:06

Bloody hell even Kate Middleton is pregnant!

LittleMissSnowShine · 03/12/2012 18:18

It's me, I'm Kate Middleton lol No of course not but also hyperemesis prone and feeling decidedly queasy in work today already lol Not looking forward to that kicking in again (tho obviously hope that it does cos really really want this pg to work out)

Sorry kitten Sad I really found last few months of friends getting up duffed really tough going, it's only natural

AF is now officially LATE!!!

BelissimaLol · 03/12/2012 18:20

Hi girls hope you are not feeling too down with the royal pg announcement. But if you are that's ok too Grin
Well I had an interesting day. Had gp app and she referred me to EPU as I'm considered high risk due to my age and previous mc. I'm also having pain in my left ovary.
I spent the morning in a panic and finally had the scan at 3pm. All normal for 5 weeks and I need to go back in 10 days to see how things are progressing.
I've come to the conclusion that this whole ttc thing is crap. Even after you get the bfp.
Winkle how us shaggjng going? Have you had a smiley yet?
Any other news from anyone?

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 18:22

I cried on the walk home down the phone to hubby. I wish it was me making that announcement. They got married the same time as we did. Just feel completely down about it.

OP posts:
BelissimaLol · 03/12/2012 18:32

I thought this could be the case winkle. Lots of hugs x

redstrawberry · 03/12/2012 18:36

Even she is pregnant? :( oh for fucksakes!

I just came back from the clinic and had a pelvic scan today. They said I might have "slightly poly cystic ovaries" so I asked her what does that mean. The nurse carrying g out the scan was a trainee so she had no idea if she was even reading it right! I was so pissed off.

I have regular periods, no acne, no facial hair, no weight gain, positive opks. Although my LH has come high on blood tests which is a sign of PCOS. So opks are unreliable if lh is constantly high for pcosers.

I don't know what to make of it. I'm more devasted abt Kate's pregnancy than my diagnosis

BelissimaLol · 03/12/2012 18:39

Oh red that sucks. What are the next steps?
If it is any consolation I know someone here who had no periods for 6 months after coming off pill and was told she almost def had policystic ovaries and it turned out she was pregnant Grin. So it's not the end of the word from what I know.
Sorry everyone is feeling low.

redstrawberry · 03/12/2012 18:47

I have had another blood test done, but they have referred us back to the GP to discuss the results of the scan and bloodwork. Just really wish someone could give me some proper answers.

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 19:00

I came home and sobbed in hubs arms. Life's a big ball of shit. But I have to perk myself up to have mindless sex later that's going to lead to nothing. Again. What's the fuckin point?

OP posts:
Kittenkatzen · 03/12/2012 19:23

ThanksThanks for winkle and red. There's not much to say really is there? You will get there winkle eventually, glad your DH is lovely and supportive in the meantime. I know eventually isn't soon enough though.

red how bloody frustrating for you, I'm Angry on your behalf....."slightly" pcos my arse. Hope you get a proper diagnosis out of them soon.

littlemiss and lol so pleased everything is progressing ok for you both Smile

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 19:31

Thanks kitten. I'm having wine tonight - only one glass though. I need it.

Red when will you know for sure?

I'm so sorry about the me me me posts, I just can't take it anymore.

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 03/12/2012 19:45

I am going to discuss with GP this week to see what the blood test taken on cd 1 came up as. Hopefully the hormone levels were normal then but I'll find out soon I hope.

Fertility specialist is not available to discuss till feb. just feel like they have given me awful news an then fobbed us off to GP to discuss the rest!

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 22:00

Crap isn't it red?

OP posts:
LittleMissSnowShine · 03/12/2012 22:01

red - i have pcos, not many symptoms either. This will be my 3rd pg, it can make it a bit trickier when ur ttc but its obv not as big of a barrier asit seems. Check out a site called Verity online for loads of helpful stuff, forums are great

winkle - Thanks to you from me too :(

xx

redstrawberry · 03/12/2012 22:14

Just hate this whole process. Can't wait to get a bfp so we can stop having planned sex and stop thinking abt it constantly.

I don't care now what DH or I have - asa or pcos! One way or the other I will get pregnant. If not this year then hopefully next year. Hope is all I have!

Hugs to you too winkle x

winkle2 · 03/12/2012 22:41

Here here red.

Hugs all round to all who need them.

Sorry you two seem to be having it particularly tough. I wish I could do something to help Confused

Kittenkatzen · 04/12/2012 06:51

I just had 2 squares of galaxy for breakfast...I don't feel better about not being pg but it did make me happy for about 90 seconds - I recommend it to everyone Grin

winkle2 · 04/12/2012 09:25

Lol - it's because this has been going on for ages. I've been waiting so long. It's not fair.

OP posts:
BelissimaLol · 04/12/2012 09:44

I know hun. It's very very unfair. This whole thing is. Did you manage a shag last night?
