Yams, fertile feckers and what not to say.

[LimpLettice]

Part the third:

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.

I know that seems like ages @Justwaitingforaline but honestly after Christmas it's six weeks. I think my husband had to wait ages for his (after a fight with his GP to get it done in the first place).

He's just looked it up and the GP referred him in January and his test was in May.

Meh, two friggin baby bombs today. Feeling like shit, so here I am for a moan. I do so well for the first two weeks of the cycle, then once I've ovulated I turn into a miserable barren old witch again. Hate feeling like this. I just wish there was a way of knowing if it will ever happen or not!

My instagram’s full of babies, but that’s mainly from my friends and acquaintances.

pirate I always feel that way too (except I’ve got 3 weeks between AF and FW due to my stupidly long cycles) but I’m always a lot more positive prior to ovulation. As soon as I ovulate I lose all hope for the month.

your struggle is linked to your nastiness and envy

Absolutely. The reason that I can't stay pregnant is because I'm a bitter dried up old shrew. If only if figured that out sooner. Would have saved a fortune. 🙄

Oh gosh, that’s where I’ve been going wrong this whole time! My reason for not being able to conceive is because I’m jealous. Thanks wanderlush, I’ll mention that to the fertility specialist at my appointment :)

Fuck off

Sorry - that should read fuck off you sanctimonious bitch

Wanderlush - your post is goady and uncalled for. Reported.

Just wow. This is a safe space for people who have been struggling, a lot of whom also struggle with jealousy and negative feelings about close friends let alone smug people on the conception boards. You clearly don't have a shred of empathy.

" And as much as you mock her I can guarantee most of you looked into it. Maybe your struggle is linked to your nastiness and envy"

Oh sorry, missed this bit! FUCK OFF 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

I don't abstain in 2ww. Mostly coz I'm already insane and that won't help.

Wanderlush. Seriously? The thread header makes it very clear what this thread is about. I know, I copied and posted it. For most of us, this thread is a safe place to vent the stuff we know is unreasonable in real life, surrounded by posters who have actually read the header and get it. In these last few threads, there've been dozens of similar posts. We know, we don't want their baby, we know it's bad luck, we know it's no reflection on us. But it hurts and it's better here than festering.

This thread is filled with women who have had one or more losses, or illness, or months and years of agony, listening to pointless shit advice from grown women who should know better. Do you really think it's appropriate or not nasty, to tell women who have literally just lost their babies and need to talk that they are infertile because they are nasty? Women who lead good lives but watch everyone else trip into pregnancy? Really? Go preach somewhere else, for gods sakes.

@Wanderlush if you don't like this board why bother commenting? If you read the first post you'd realise this is a safe space where we can moan, vent our envy & jealousy and the yams have been a running joke between us for many threads now. To suggest our struggles are our own doing is in itself an act of nastiness and ignorance. To imply that I caused my miscarriage because I've joined a board for like minded people is disgusting. Please refrain from commenting, I wish you luck and peace with your own journey and i hope you find a board suited to you.

Yeah, no I don't wish you well. I curse you, troll!

I'm with grumpy - someone who can post such nastiness is beyond contempt

And no , I didn't google yams. Who is that fucking dumb?

Also “sort it out ladies”? Really? You come on to a thread you’re not a part of to attempt to chastise a bunch of women who are hurting and feeling shit already by telling us that we’re just jealous because other people can get pregnant and we can’t and that maybe our nastiest and jealously is why we can’t get pregnant/can’t stay pregnant... I think you’re the one who needs to sort it out, my love. Now, off you fuck.

Oh and just a side note; the girl whose post is referenced (the yams etc) is aware of our threads made in her honour as she has been on and commented on them in the past and she wasn’t offended in the slightest. So, y’know, jokes on you.

Lmao grumpy I still have no idea what a yam even is

No bubble I meant believing that sweet potato / whatever a yam is might help you conceive lol

Haha yeah I know grumpy I’ve never once Googled what a yam is and how it helps you conceive. Probably because it’s not actually a thing 😂

FYI ladies did you know that relaxing and not being a bitter old hag is linked to increased fertility ? And fewer brain cells

My mc three weeks ago happened because I'm "horrid"?

...

Ignore her Sooz she’s clearly high on something and is speaking absolute bollocks.

Her calling us horrid after coming in here and saying things like that? Pot kettle black... 🙄
