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.

New thread - someone asking if they could be pregnant despite (a) being on the pill (b) having a period two weeks ago (c) having had a negative test.

She probably is as well. Do you remember back in the day, when you were told in sex ed that it only takes once and the only foolproof contraception was abstinence?

Enjoy tonight Lettice. I hope your proposal is wonderful.

I weaned him back at Easter limp so it’s been a while.

And good luck! 🥂

Help! I need a slap/reality check from you all.

My AF has still not arrived, my last period start date was 28th September & now this is Day 37 of my cycle (usually around 33-34 days). I am getting BFN's - please just tell me I'm not pregnant to stop me spending my life savings on multiple FRER's. 😪

I saw that @NimbleKnitter! Urgh!!

@LovePinaColada when did you ovulate? Are you temping?

Not temping @NimbleKnitter, but using the OPK's. Ovulated 18th/19th.

Ah - sorry - think you’re still within the margin of error (don’t throw things!)

But testing won’t change anything - unless you want to get shitfaced maybe give it a few days?

Well.

Amazing news! Congrats @NimbleKnitter, gorgeous ring! x

Ooops! Congrats @LimpLettice! 💍

@NimbleKnitter - thank you, hehe, I won't throw anything! Will wait & test Sunday morning & try & forget about it all. Thank you.

Hello all - had a few days off here. GP has just diagnosed me with post viral fatigue following gluey bug in early Sept. made me POAS though as 'tiredness could be an early sign of of' No shit! And utterly unsurprisingly BFN. So of course I cried. And not pretty tears. Proper snotty sobbing. Great.

Anyhoo - so fertile week is going well 🙄

Will catch up properly now though

Congrats lettuce!

Congratulations Limp I love your ring. To anyone who is still waiting on a proposal I waited 9 years for mine maybe that's how long I'll have to wait for a baby

I've been MIA all week because I've been away for a few days and was surrounded by children, which kind of sucked and didn't help with my broodyness at all (and when we booked the trip I was hoping to pregnant but obviously I'm not so I enjoyed far too much alcohol instead, but that's it now I'm going to try and be good).

How's everyone been? Everyone good?

Omg limp congratulations!!! Such a gorgeous ring ☺️

OH rang the drs today to get his semen sample results and they have come back normal. What’s my next step now?

Congratulations lettuce!!!

What a gorgeous ring ! :)

No idea about next steps, but pleased it was good news @Bubblegum89!

@LimpLettice that ring is beautiful! Congrats

Bubblegum have you had blood tests and u/s?

Thanks pina :)

I’ve had blood tests done nimble and they all came back fine apart from my prolactin levels were very slightly high but my dr said she wasn’t worried about it as it was only just over the threshold. I had an US done back in March as a follow up to one I had in December and they checked my lining then.

All sounds v familiar!

Next step will depend on your health authority - up here (Edinburgh) next step would be referral the endocrine specialist.

Maybe make an appointment with your gp?

Congratulations @LimpLettice, gorgeous ring!

@Bubblegum89 glad everything is ok with oh, not sure of next steps.

@LovePinaColada sorry you’re still in limbo!

Just booked a reflexology session, hoping it helps, got a bfp after 1 session last time and then after mc I had another session to try and balance everything and af returned the following day.

That's a gorgeous ring Lettice, huge congratulations.

Thanks nimble I’ll give her a call on Monday and see what she suggests I do next :) is it bad that I kinda wanted it to be OH that was the issue? Only because it seems to be easier to “fix” sperm issues than say, blocked tubes or scarred uterine lining! I know deep down my tubes are blocked. I don’t know why I know, I just do and I have symptoms every month that convince me more :(
