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'm off work sick today and watching Jeremy Kyle (sad I know!) and why are there so many women getting pregnant on there at the drop of a hat! It really annoys me. They smoke cannabis, smoke cigarettes, drink, are overweight and unhealthy. Yet, I'm trying my best to do everything I can and nothing!

I’m out. Cramping today and thoughts of chocolate.

@LexieJean. Don't rule yourself out yet! I have had cramping and chocolate cravings for the last week and no flo :-)

@LexieJean. Cramping isn't always bad x

So looks like I ovulated 4 days early this cycle which means I'll be 12dpo Christmas Day, let's hope Santa gives me a bfp!

Not been here much - stoopidly busy time of year! Congratulations to grumpy and general “hi, I’m still alive” waves to everyone else.

AF today as predicted. One day I may get to take a preg test, but after 14 cycles it’s looking less and less likely...

Justmeonly *waving back
Totally empathise with how you feel, each passing cycle makes me more grumpy and dejected. Cheeky glass of red is at least taking the edge off

Hey wonky. I went with a glass of prosecco with dinner

Ugh.... early morning thread browsing.... lead me to the lady who is worried she may have gotten pg despite having unprotected sex, once, on a non-fertile day, and er ahem not finishing 'together'..... if only it were that easy!

Hi all can I join?

Age 33 TTC no# 2 since April but thanks to short cycles we’re on cycle 11. We’ve been ntnp since this time 2016. DD is 2 and took 6 years to conceive. We had an early loss in October at 5 weeks.

I’m 4dpo and ruling myself out this month already as I woke up this morning and didn’t need to pee urgently which is usually a sign for me that my progesterone has taken a nose dive.

Welcome @MynameisJune

Hi @justmeonly it's a crazy busy time, hoping it'll distract me from the TWW.

@WonkyDonk87 I bet we see a post in a few weeks confirming she did indeed get upduffed coz she is a bloody yam munching fertile fecker

Ha ha @RhiBee29! Do you think celebrations harness the same power as yams? #breakfastpudding

@wonky and @rhibee if mince pies only had the power of yams I’d be in!

Just think, you could probably make yam mince pies...

Af got me bang on time in a subtle way; not my normal spotting one or two days before, then cramps the night before. Oh no. This time it was late-night spotting followed by gradual, pain-free increase in flow and then cramps joining in after a day. I guess the mc has buggered up my cycle symptoms a little, this is the first af since.

I am dreading Christmas, I really am. I want to be looking at 12-week scan pictures right now and getting excited to show them to people over the holidays.

Oh @sooz that is so horrible. Sending you a big hug

@sooz so sorry af got you. It’s just totally shit all around.

I should be 14 weeks now and telling all family not still trying again. After DD taking so long I really thought we would be luckier this time round.

Hugs @SoozC it's shit! I should be 7 months and sporting funny bump Christmas jumpers. Enjoy the festive season with 🍷🧀, 2018 will be our year x

I opened up about my mc to someone I know a little through an evening class (and we get on well) and couldn't believe it when she told me she'd had one in August. I'm so pleased I confided in her, to know there's someone in real life nearby who's been through it too is a comforting thought.

Not that you guys aren't awesome!

I am now 5 days late. BFN yesterday morning before my ultrasound, cramps for the last 4 days. My tits hurt and I’m fed up. I don’t want to be bleeding over Christmas

On the plus side, ultrasound was great - nothing untoward or weird in there.

Hey ladies, I’m sorry to see that people are having a shit time of it all. I’m nursing a huge hangover today and feeling sorry for myself because I’d much rather have an excuse not to drink 😓

Having someone irl is great isn't it @Soozc. My nail technician is my sounding board, she had a miscarriage a couple of years back and had always been very open about how much she wants a baby and how hard her MC is. She comes to my house and does my nails and listens to me bitch about being unable to stay pregnant while being both soothing and practical. I love her very much.

My period started yesterday. I had baked camembert and cocktails for dinner last night to try and perk me up. On the plus side for the first time ever I had a perfect 12 day lutual phase.

@SoozC bollocks to the AF. Sorry this wasn't your month - especially after the mc. Glad you found someone who has been in the same boat to share with.

I have to tell my boss on Tuesday that I'm starting IVF and can't do half the work she'd planned for me next year! Fun!

Can I join in please guys I’m having a shit day. I was convinced this was my month. But bfn this morning and at due tomorrow. This was my 6th cycle and I’m feeling pretty deflated and upset now. I’m in work till 8pm too and just want to be curled up at home and have a little cry
