Thou shall not tell everyone to eat Yams

[juneybean]

Welcome all anti-fertile fuckers! This is our clique for those trying longer than 6 cycles and are pretty fed up.

Here are our Fucked Off TTC Commandments

• Thou shall not arrive one day and post BFP next day
• Thou shall not give advice to other when TTC for one month only
• Thou shall not participate in one-up-manship and realise TTC is shit for everyone in different ways
• Thou shall allow posters to be fucked off with the world and everything in it at regular points in the month
• Thou shall not be offended by strong language
• Thou shall not tell everyone to eat yams
• Thou shall accept being called a muppet for testing at 7dpo at 9pm at night

Our spreadsheet which includes what supplements (and potatoes) we are trying in our journey to motherhood.

@bubblegum I hope it all goes well for you and I hope there are no problems found!

We had treatment for DC1 and I don't think I'll conceive naturally this time so now it's just a case of working out when I want to start treatment again. We were originally told IVF ICSI but I conceived on just clomid with DH having treatment too. I'm going to try that again so I need DHs treatment to start soon, just waiting for an appointment for him now.

Thanks @Unicornberry & @Bubblegum89, interesting, thanks. I have serious AF cramps this evening, was so hoping for a Halloween treat. Boo!

Woah. I turned into a total hormone mess this evening. Like I could feel the chemicals brewing inside of me. Went from normal to wanting to cry/hit people/scream and entirely unbalanced really suddenly.

I'm not normally this bad except when I'm over-tired and over-stressed. Horrible horrible horrible.

I dread to think what I'd be like if I ever did get pregnant...

Still a BFN this morning on an ic just waiting on af to rock up , due Monday or Tuesday.

Morning ladies. Royally fucked off here .... why aren't I olivating 😭😭😭 2nd cycle of clomid and still tests are showing I am not olivating.

Early tester here aswell - bright white glaring BFN! (but I still keep checking...) 😱 Sorry @RhiBee29.

Just spent 5 minutes taking pictures of a bright white test to see if it looked like a line in the photo - WTAF?

So sorry @Justoneme - I can't offer any advice, but didn't want to ignore you.

I feel your rage @justmeonly, I literally feel it risining within me & TTC (unsuccessfully) of course never helps!!

@justmeonly oh gosh that was me last night. I didn't even feel bad about it.

Woke up this morning with such sore boobs. DH was still asleep so I started googling prams. WHY WHY do I do it to myself!!!

Still too soon for me to test this month af due next Saturday so thinking I could test Tuesday x

Well AF is still not here but my resting heart rate has started to properly decline according to my Fitbit and based on last months trend, AF should be here today or tomorrow.

Can't wait for her to start now so I can focus on that cycle rather than being stuck waiting around in this one knowing that nothing has happened, again.

Also, so glad I'm not the only one who has bouts of googling baby stuff. I even bought a pregnancy book months ago which is hidden behind my bookshelf gathering dust (scared anyone will see it and know we are failing at TTC). Just had a book clear out last month and considered chucking it as it's a painful reminder that it's not happened, and I really do fear it's never going to happen. We've only been officially TTC for 6 cycles but we haven't used protection at all for much longer on the though "if it happens, it happens" and surely something would have happened by now if there were no issues 😩

@micropig have you been to your GP? There's so many fertility issues that can be treated if there is an underlying problem.

I had some kind of realisation last night that I might not even conceive DC2 ever. I think we were really lucky to conceive DC1 on the first cycle of treatment but I think it's time we start treatment again now. I'm going to book appointments on Monday. My period is due in a few days and I'm going to see if I can get something booked for the cycle after.

Well I’m out. As I predicted lol had a bit of brown spotting this morning, I must have ovulated the day after my app predicted. Oh well. I’m not too disappointed, kind of hoping it’s a nice period as I’ve got a meal to go to tonight and don’t fancy cramping the whole time.

micropig hope af doesn’t show up for you!

@Unicornberry not been yet, night book an appointment in December if this next cycle isn't effective, at least then the ball will be rolling for next year.

Hope your treatment is as successful as the last one!

@Bubblegum89 Sorry to hear that AF has arrived, hope you have a nice, cramp free meal in any case.

AF will definitely be here soon for me now that my RHR is dropping. It's showing a similar patter to last month (except length wise) so I'd guess she'll arrive tonight or tomorrow. This cycle has been 39 days so far. They are usually 35/36 days exactly except the cycle before last which was also 39. 39!! Quite jealous of women with normal short cycles. Just want my next one to start already 😩

micropig thanks, the cramps are starting now so doesn’t look like I’ll be enjoying my meal later either. As if getting my period again wasn’t bad enough lol onto cycle 12 now and almost at a full year of ttc with absolutely nothing happening. I’m taking my frustration out on anyone posting “is this an early pregnancy symptom?” posts lol

Sorry that af arrived @Bubblegum89 hope you enjoy a few with your meal latex

That was meant to be later x not enjoy your meal of latex 🤣

@Bubblegum89 I don't even go near those threads. Stupidly bodied on a "July 2018 babies" thread yesterday while feeling sorry for myself and it just made me feel terrible that I'm not joining in lol.

So I've decided to start a healthy "fertility diet" loosely by printing a meal plan and then massively adjusting it to appeal to me. Currently eating a huge salad and the worse scrambled eggs I've ever had (thought I'd save time and do them in the microwave lol, whoops). Not expecting it to do much but can't hurt to be a little healthier.

rhibee 😂 sadly my period bloat won’t let me get into my latex today haha but thank you :)

micropig I seem to have taken it upon myself to try and educate the masses on PMS symptoms lol. I’m getting fed up of all the “do you see a line” threads when there’s clearly a line. Like yes, you know there is now piss off. Our time will come. Hopefully! If I ever get pregnant, I’ll be making the thread “March 2043 babies” at this rate

@Bubblegum89 lol see you on the thread! 😂

I never look at the "do you see a line" ones as I have never, ever had a line and I find it so depressing. Some of those lines are so obvious to! Im like, bugger off to the Pregnancy forum already and post there lol, leave us here to suffer without having to look at your success!! 😩😂

You girls are cracking me up 😂 particularly about the latex. I laughed very loud in a cafe as I was reading it.

I'm now 7dpo a week to go till I can test...

What's every ones evening plans?

@Mamabooksbabynumber2 I'm stuck in work (I have a small restaurant), how about you?

Have eaten all my healthy food already, now fantasising about cookies because I by chance saw this emoticon: 🍪 🤤

micropig haha oh god, I joke but part of me is serious. You never know, you might make it into a 2018 baby thread! Ooh what kind of restaurant do you own?

mamabooks ooh good luck to you, hopefully you’ll be leaving us soon. I mean that in the nicest way possible lol my plan for this evening are going for a family meal and drinking my body weight in wine. How about you?

Honestly, I’m so bummed out today that if I didn’t have my blog to rant on and this thread to chat on, I probably would have committed a murder

Also I watch this video every time I feel crap about not getting pregnant to try and put the whole conception thing into perspective. Just in case any of you want to have a look! m.youtube.com/watch?v=_5OvgQW6FG4

I've seen videos like that before, it's so fascinating I'm keeping myself entertained with baby name threads recently!
