Naught ads ! :) Do it again tomorrow though :)

twinklestar2 · 06/04/2013 18:58

Good luck for tomorrow, ad.

Thingymajigs · 06/04/2013 19:30

Good luck ads.

Adsum · 07/04/2013 01:04

Ah thanks all, but I have no sticks to pee on now and also can feel af on her way so will try and hold out for a bit longer to see if when she shows up! (am saving up for next month ??!)

Hope everyone's well? Who's POAS soon?

Thingymajigs · 07/04/2013 09:27

AF is here. No pains yet so I'm not too cross with it. I am however beyond annoyed with the hormonal spots that have invaded my face. Its been months now and its making me miserable. Part of me wants to give up and go on birth control so I can feel like me again. Relatives ask if I'm eating enough or if I'm ill because my face is so blemished. I have never suffered with acne before in my life. sigh
At least I can go back to my GP in May and request more blood tests because I'm pretty sure I have some obvious PCOS symptoms.
Here endeth my CD1 rant.
How's everyone else doing? This thread has become so quiet.

Adsum · 07/04/2013 10:45

I second the wish to go back on the pill! Since I came off it I have been similar with spots- it's very annoying! I still feel pre-af pains so am not hopeful this month but in a way don't really care! I'm sure ill wake up tomorrow feeling different but will enjoy this feeling for the day if I can Smile

twinklestar2 · 07/04/2013 11:36

Sorry she got you thingy. How long have you been trying this time round?

Thingymajigs · 07/04/2013 13:28

I hope they aren't AF pains ads. I like to enjoy that time before AF too. I don't like to test around that time because I like feeling like I could be pregnant even for just an extra day or two. Fingers are crossed for you.
This will be month 11 now winkle. I used to wonder how people coped with trying for this long but now I know. You just carry on because the only alternative is to stop.
I feel a bit better now. I can't wear make-up because of my skin but I can put on a bit of mascara, put on a dress and do my hair, which I have. I feel a bit more like me. I'm going to try a low sugar/carb diet for a month to see if it helps my skin and the (possible) PCOS symptoms. I always fail when I attempt this but I need another focus for a bit.

Thingymajigs · 07/04/2013 13:36

Oh, I'm really sorry if that comes off as insensitive. I realise some people have been trying for years and I've barely begun compared to others. I think I just needed to get my frustration out before DP gets back from the stag do in a bit. He was so sure this was our month.

Adsum · 07/04/2013 13:49

It took 10 months after my first mmc only to have another one so technically it's been 14 months now so I totally feel your pain, but I feel even less able to complain because I have a ds already!

It is so personal - time doesn't matter per se it's the effect it has on the individual/couple - you aren't insensitive! It's such an individual thing and anyone who has had to try like you/we all have does to an extent feel a bit selfish because it is all about you! It can't be about anyone else anyway! You need some tlc today xxx

Adsum · 07/04/2013 13:50

Oh that sounds a bit preachy! Sorry Hmm

Adsum · 07/04/2013 18:53

REALLY sorry!!!! BlushBlushBlush

twinklestar2 · 07/04/2013 22:33

I'm dieting too, so we can do it together thingy :)

RedRobin1 · 08/04/2013 07:54

Hugs thingy sorry about AF arriving. Agree with ads - it doesn't matter how long you have been trying or even if you already have kids - anyone who has been ttc will feel a whole wide range of emotions and is allowed to feel that way.

I will join the dieting club too winkle have gorged on so much food last month - need to really do something about my bingo wings.

twinklestar2 · 08/04/2013 11:42

Red did AF arrive?

As for dieting I have a few weeks till my appt and ill be gutted if I don't get to my target or at least near to me target. ESP as I've been using ttc as an excuse not to diet for the last two years (thinking oh ill get fat anyway!)

Adsum · 08/04/2013 12:13

winkle that's EXACTLY what I've been doing - puttin it off again and again with the same thoughts... But now the time has come! Angry

Thingymajigs · 08/04/2013 12:53

Thanks everyone. You are all so lovely. I'm feeling much better now.
I started to use TTC as an excuse too and now my clothes are getting a bit tight. I've decided to cut out as much of the unnecessary carbs as I can so I've bought some salad greens to eat instead of rice or potatoes with my meals which is a start anyway. And I've changed our meal plan to reduce red meat so our meals are predominately poultry and fish based now. Good luck to everyone trying to lose weight. We can do it! Smile
Btw, I have heard in the news that l-carnitine has been found to be the reason why red meats are so unhealthy. I realised this morning that Wellman conception contains an amount of that nutrient so I have cancelled my future Amazon orders. Current advice is not to take Carnitine in supplement form if you're a meat eater. Just thought I'd let you all know. Any ideas as to which vitamin we could switch to?

Adsum · 08/04/2013 18:09

another bfn today and lots of quite bad period pains - grrr! Well it took 10 months last time so I'm not sure why I'm surprised! I hate TTC!!

Thingymajigs · 08/04/2013 18:59

DP has said he's not bothered about the vitamin so we are sticking with Wellman afterall.
Sorry to hear that ads. I know the feeling, its getting to me too. I hope your OH is around to pamper you for a while.

RedRobin1 · 08/04/2013 19:47

I hate ttc too. AF did arrive winkle

Today is my CP due date and my best friend had a baby girl yesterday. Lots of messages on her fb congratulating her and I am just bawling my eyes out wishing that would have been me today. I am happy for her but really can't stop wishing it was me.

Just want to be pregnant so I can just get out of this rut. It's so cruel I am feeling so lost today Sad

twinklestar2 · 08/04/2013 19:52

Sorry ad :(

Oh red, I wish I could jump through the screen and give you a big hug. This process is too cruel. Be kind to yourself tonight xxx

RedRobin1 · 08/04/2013 21:16

I had a big slice of cheesecake and I still feel like crap. Just want all of this to be over. Going to try harder this month but I am all out of hope.
Sorry for sad posts but having a very bad day and don't know where else to vent my frustration.

KerryJewels · 08/04/2013 21:47

Five days until AF arrives...feels like she might.If I didn't get pregnant this month I don't know when I will..we did it almost everyday..on ovulation days twice a day!!!My hubs sperm must be taking the long road to no where!!April is the final month of trying and then the dreaded sperm analysis..Just don't understand!!!Although this is only month four-I am 38,with PCOS,one tube,and a history of not conceiving easily...it still feels like forever!!!Due to the Clomid my ovaries have been quite sore too..don't know how much longer they will take this.It's very hard to be positive when every month it's just disappointment:(Hoping for the best for everyone else!!!!And who knows..I could be wrong about this month..we shall see!!!
