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.

Thank you all.
juney 11 dpo I think, 9 according to my app but I had abdo pain and cramping on one side 12 days ago. I tested twice last night and once again this morning to be sure.

Hello all. Can I join?

TTC for 19 months. Pregnant first month of trying last March but it was ectopic. Had surgery and one fallopian tube now non-existent and not a whiff of anything like pregnancy since.

Gearing ourselves up for tests but DH seems reluctant to admit there's a problem, despite my periods being a total mess ever since the ectopic. He's agreed we can go to the doctor in January, as the gynaecologist has already recommended I be referred to the fertility clinic.

Oh and I'm 28!

Congratulations on the BFP Summer.

Congrats @summer!

@mrsjones17 I would definitely book the holiday 😊

@just OPKs can vary in their negativity but as long as they are still negative then it's all normal although if you have any other fertility issues like PCOS sometimes OPKs can be totally inaccurate. Either way, they are confusing.

Fully appreciating your user name, overina, that gave me a right giggle! Welcome aboard!

Unicorn See, I have polycystic ovaries but NOT PCOS currently, which makes it all the more confusing. I get my bloods back tomorrow for first lot of fertility testing so it’ll be interesting to see what’s thrown up there.

Hi folks can I please join in?

It’s been so reassuring to read that others are struggling with bloody baby showers and everyone else in sight being pg. if another friend tells me about their accident I shall not hold myself responsible!

We are TTC 12 months, came on at the weekend and it was so much harder this time round. I hadn’t realised I had this ‘magic’ (delusional) 1 year marker in my head. I really feel like it might not happen for me. I’m 35, OH 35 too so doesn’t quite feel the time/age pressure I do. Trying not to be too despondent but a colleague just brought her beautiful accident into work and I wanted to AARRRGGH! FFS! I want to be supportive of my friends because I do want them and their babies to be healthy but FFS!

@lexie Welcome. I agree, I'm TTC #2 and I only know of one other person who has a DC the same age as mine but isn't at least pregnant again or has already had their next baby. I've been NTNP since DC1 was born.

@just it might be worth temping then? It's much more accurate for tracking ovulation.

Congratulations Summer another golden ticket!! uses this as an excuse to stuff my face with chocolate like Charlie did to get his golden ticket

Ladies with BFP's, please stay along for the ride to remind us that there is a possible light at the end of the barren tunnel. If you don't all stay then I'll be the last one here in an empty thread (and that's definitely something to moan about).

How are you doing @DoAsDreamersDo ?

Juney I'm doing ok, thank you lovely. AF is due tomorrow and I just want her to get here now so that I can start again. I really hope that she doesn't show for you though! (for at least 9 months anyway)

I go out for a quick lunch and bam! Fab news Summer! I know it’s worrying but statistically hopefully you’ve got all the shit out the way!

Hello Lexie and Ovarina and anyone else I’ve missed. This is great thread for avoiding the cheerleader style ttcers.

I’m so bummed. Think ovulation today but no real idea. Probly missed it tho as DP away til Weds. In perspective today though. Just met up with a couple of friends and discovered a very old friends husband passed away last night. Our kids are the exact same age and I can’t stop lip wobbling about his wife and young son.

Just found out SIL is pregnant....for fucks sake. I'm unreasonably fucked off about it. She's only been with partner for 8 months. 'it was an accident' - FUCK OFF!!! I honestly thought we would be the first one to tell both sets of parents they would be grandparents and both our siblings have beaten us to it. I know it's not a race and parents will be just as happy if we ever get to tell them but I just feel like it's so fucking unfair.

I have spent my whole life being told that if you work hard you will be rewarded. I work on the same principle as I work in education. Well I am working too fucking hard at TTC and I haven't been fucking rewarded. Just disappointment and let down month and month. I'm sorry for all the swearing I'm just so pissed off. I'm even more pissed off that I'm behaving like it. It's totally unreasonable and I hate that even more than the fact that I am just fucking barren.

Now off to see if we can fly first class to Iceland...😉

It fucking does feel like a race sometimes :( I started way before any of my friends and some of them are trying for number 2!

Fucking accident ffs. Hope you've got something nice for tea?

Wine....I'm having a bottle of wine for tea

Hi can I join? ttc #2, first child is 10. I'm 32 but so worried that I no longer work 'down there'. My fiance is not dad's father.
Been ttc since April this year.

Living week to week is exhausting!

Good luck to you all.

I did that yesterday MrsJones. Who cares if it’s not a race. It just feels like a kick in the teeth sometimes. Har har accident har har (gritted teeth) I’m with you. Swear away. Fuckitall why not. I know we’re more likely to do manly punches on the shoulder round here but hugs anyway. If my brother were to suddenly announce a pregnancy I’d probly drown myself in the bath.

@Mrsjones17 book the holiday. If you don't get pregnant, you'll just be feeling miserable that you missed the holiday, and if you do get pregnant then you might end up a bit sick on holiday but you'll still have an amazing time.

I'm saying this as someone who is putting off booking a couple of holidays for next year...

I’m away for like two days and we have 2 bfp’s!! Congrats sooz and summer I’m due af on Friday and I just have this sixth sense that I’m already out this month.

mrsjones I feel you. My 23 year old sister has been with her bf for about 18 months now, when they’d only been together for about 8 months she got pregnant but had a termination hen 6 months later got pregnant again, another accident, and she’s now 24 weeks. My SIL has a baby last year and her OH admitted that they hadn’t had sex in about 9 months and the one time they did, she got pregnant. I think it’s always hard when it’s family. You can’t just block them and ignore them. I’m sorry you’re feeling shitty. Wine for dinner sounds great. Also I suggest chocolate!

So glad to have you guys. I have been increasingly moody since my holiday ended (coming back coincided with PMS) and DH and I keep arguing about stupid things which I do realise are my grumpy fault. In no doubt that AF is on her way.

Recently got a bottle of delicious looking gin which I have put off drinking "just in case" for the TWW. I have informed DH that it will be being opened on AF day, along with a large bar of chocolate. I can go back to being healthy afterwards.

Grrr I'm feeling so negative about everything today!! Also just ate something far too spicy for me 😫😂

What?! @micropig ...nah if we're all booking holidays you're booking one too!!

Wish I had a large bar of chocolate...just because...no reason for it...

Lol @juneybean well it's for in a years time pretty much so can't book quite yet anyway. I have agreed to going but although it will be an amazing holiday, I'm desperately hoping I'll not be able to go as I'll have a bump or baby to look after. I can only dream! 😂

May get myself some chocolate on my way home from work... it's not directly on my way so it would get my steps up on my Fitbit too. That technically makes it the healthy choice, right? 😂

Oh god jones that’s super shit.

Iceland sounds like the very least you are entitled to
