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 agree with @Lexie, try & wait a couple of days & test again, I know it's hard @Mamabooks! I struggle to follow my own advice.

Thanks lexie and love, yes you right. Will be such a waste of money and I hate that disappointment. It's best to jist always presume you aren't as it feels ever so slightly less upsetting.

Welcome catherine
Xxx

My average cycle is 29 days but have been 34 days and 33 days once.

Hey Yammers, just wanted to say a quick thanks to @Stowie3012 and @LexieJean for sharing re: acupuncture. I've found someone locally so definitely going to contact them

Agree @Mamabooks, I go between positive & negative so much, but always end of negative - it's so much safer.

Welcome @catherine!

Congrats @Stowie, glad to hear some of us have had a positive start to the year!
Hopefully more will follow!
We’re in FW and DH has just been called away with work for 3 days..... aarghh!

Well we've missed a day of dtd on the SMEP plan as both sooo tired but it was CD10 and no ewcm so I'm hoping it wasn't too crucial? Waiting for fw which should start tomorrow according to Ovia.

I've been trying to find an acupuncturist locally for a while but no joy, I found reflexology helped restore my cycle after mc.

Good luck @Mamabooksbabynumber2 hope it's a bfp on the retest x

Oh god FUCK OFF AF. ☹️

Thanks rhi
love and lexie Af has just arrived so I am now moving on to cycle 12 ...bah

Crappy news @sparkwood and @mamabooks I’m sorry to hear that.

Sorry Sparkwood & Mamabooks ** I'm pretty sure I'm out this month too so onto cycle 12 for me too 😭

Argh so sorry @Mamabooks & @Sparkwood - she's a witch!

Sorry for all the af’s and bfn’s 😥

Thanks for the info on accunpuncture I might start next cycle if no luck this time.

We’ve been following the SMEP, got my peak today so it’s all systems go in the June household 😂

I’m swinging between hopeless dispair of another year not pregnant and high hopes that this is going to happen early this year.

@silver I got my bfp with DD in April 2015, she was born in Dec 2015. There are still a few more chances for a 2018 baby yet 😊

milk , hi! Sorry you're here. And sorry about your miscarriage :( I had one last year and was due just before Christmas, and I agree that it is harder to be battling infertility around this time. Sucks.

That's good that your husband is on board with getting tests etc. Mine is has been less keen over the years, but we're 4 years in now and he's starting to even be a little proactive, not even just compliant ;)

Hope you get some answers (or a positive pregnancy test!) soon :)

Oh, and this month I've decided that now I'm going to have a treat to look forward to every failed cycle. So I've planned out 6 months worth of treats - just silly things, but things that might make me feel slightly better. Usually I just go out and buy a nice coffee or something when AF arrives, but I've decided I need bigger treats (!), and this way I can be like "January is jigsaw month. I will either be pregnant or have bought and completed a new puzzle by the end of January".

As you can see by the fact I consider a jigsaw a treat, I'm in quite a bad way (!).

Such a bittersweet night, we’ve been out to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. To the same restaurant we went to for my birthday in October when I got my bfp. Had things been different I’d be over 16 weeks now but as it is we were back there with no pregnancy to celebrate.

I’ve decided to do more this year, I’m signing up to an adult dance class and a back to netball class to give me something other than TTC to focus on. Plus I’ve already got two short breaks booked and a family holiday planned. Last year was spent living af to af and it’s no way to live, so this year has to be different.

I’m getting so pissed off with my body. I’m around 11dpo so in my fw. I started off on Wednesday literally gushing cm which is fine, whatever but literally no need tbh. I have been nauseous every morning up until late afternoon and unable to stomach any food. I’ve been having period type cramps and my boobs are sore. These are all my “week before af” symptoms. Like I don’t go through enough as it without my body being a dickhead literally all the time. I’m already annoyed at it for my last period being so pathetic. Ugh. I’m not even actually ttc anymore, maybe it knows.

I missed out on a holiday last year because I’d obviously be pregnant by then. It was rather depressing when the dates of the holiday came and went. I’m definitely booking a holiday for this year!

I like the idea of a treat every time AF arrives. I bought a new Michael Kors bag back in November when she arrived, but completely forgot in December. I’m only CD7 today so it’s not too late is it? I do love having time for a jigsaw too!

Love the idea of a jigsaw!
Just been invited on the holiday of a lifetime with all my family, but it’s timed for October. Hubby is determined we can’t go as he’s sure we’ll be pregnant by then, and as much as I’d like to believe we could be, I’m not holding out much hope. What would you all do? Nobody knows we’ve been TTC, and I’d rather not tell them. I just know this opportunity won’t arise again. Help!

Definitly book it teacher. Get holiday insurance incase you need to cancel or postpone for you and dp.

Jigsaw made me laugh so loud my dp last night was wondering what on earth I was laughing at.

Is @mrsjones still about somewhere?

@mamabooksbabynumber2 yep still here! Just been a little less active on here. Trying o give myself some headspace. Cycle 14 for us! Ah well! Sorry to see you're still here!

I can understand that @mrsjones17 and sorry to see you are still here too. We've started the ball rolling for tests. Have you? I've decided that you must be my ttc buddy now after all these months!😊

Hello ladies. Well - I've gone ahead and booked an acupuncture consultation and feel a little soothed as it feels like I'm actually doing something about all this. Hope you're all doing something nice with your Saturday
