Where there’s a Yam, there’s a way

[Bubblegum89]

Thread numero four-o.

A safe place for those of you who have been trying to conceive for 6+ months and even yams aren’t helping. Come and have a good ol’ bitch and a moan without judgement.

The Yam Commandments are as follows;

• Thou shall not arrive one day and post BFP next day

• Thou shall not give advice to others 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

And most importantly...

• Thou shall not symptom spot during the two week wait and must be prepared for a telling off if they do so.

Welcome and welcome. We’re all very nice and friendly despite being horrible bitter old cows ☺️

• temping, as well as tempting ;)

Congratulations newsense

Woo hoo!!! Congratulations @NewSense! Double whammy of hope for us all x

Such amazing news @NewSense - spreading hope for us all! Congrats.

Enormous congratulations NewSense. Stories like yours give me hope. Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy. Xxx

It actually still doesn't feel real this morning. I want to feel nauseous or something...?! Will be working my way through the stash of about 80 internet cheapies that I always have in stock...just to be sure.

Haha, milk ! Maybe we'll have deliveroo to celebrate ;)

Thanks for all the well wishes :) I really hope many more of you are lucky soon.

Congratulations @NewSense, it's lovely to have good news on the thread! Maybe we need a group 'give up temping' month (and eat a few sweet potatoes) and get us all pregnant lol!

Congratulations NewSense I wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy x

lots of BFPs this week x FX for everyone else now

rubberduckies I gave up doing opks etc twice last year and it didn’t work for me 😭 mind you, I didn’t eat any yams

@newsense huge congratulations, wonderful news. Keeping everything crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months.

Nausea doesn’t usually kick in until 5 or 6 weeks and then you’ll wish it never had!

Huge congratulations @NewSense brilliant news x

Wow @newsense that’s great news! So pleased for you, 🤞 for a happy and healthy 9 months! I’ve put my request in for sweet potatoes for dinner 😉

Congratulations NewSense that’s amazing!!!

DH got his SA results today and apparently they aren’t just normal, they are better than normal. So in other words he seems to have super sperm which makes me even more convinced there is something wrong with me. On which note, AF has now rocked up again. Ffs....

Omg @Pibbee my DH would be telling everyone if he had super-sperm! Hopefully nothing wrong your end either and you'll get a bfp soon

Newsense yay!!! Congratulations. I did a digi last night and got a 1-2 which I'm quietly pleased about at 13dpo with weak rubbish evening pee. Any idea of due date? Funny I did nothing this month either. Now panicking over every twinge but already nauseous all day. It's so tough to be positive.

Pibbee hopefully it's just mistiming. I was told a month or so ago I might have been mistiming from opks, in that at my geriatric age the gap between lh surge and ov is much smaller, so catching it in the morning with clearblue meant I already might be ovulating.

My DP would also be strutting his manly stuff at that news.

Fair enough I’ll let him strut his manly stuff for today then.... I am pleased as it’s one less thing to stress about. Hopefully we have just been mistiming it all. Well tbh some months have been a total failure on the DTD front anyway! I keep saying we need to actually DTD more in fertile week....Hopefully these results will give him a bit of a boost!

Fantastic to come back on to see two yammers with Bfps! Congratulations ladies, wishing you a healthy, happy and easy 9 months!

I'm being a dick this month as I can't seem to stop symptom spotting.
Boobs hurt from roughly ov (I think, I didn't really opk this month) until a few days ago (af due in 2 days)

Yesterday has a tiny bit of pink on toilet roll when I wiped. Then later after Pilates, was brown and sort of stringy (TTC is so minging). It had stopped when i checked just before bed.
Dtd this morning and thought this might have brought on af but it hasn't. There's nothing.
I'm not late but have now convinced myself it was implantation bleeding.

I'm going to be gutted again when af arrives. Why am I doing this to myself?!

@pibbee my OH is off for his appointment with his cup this arvo. He’d love to hear he’s got super sperm! I hear you on the dtd front, it most definitely is not ‘fun’ whilst TTC and I fear we don’t dtd enough during FW. I had to really break it down for my OH when planning this FW around his SA test and we’ve basically got time slots! I just hope he can perform under the pressure!! 😬

I’ve had it suggested by a friend who is a Dr that dtd in the morning might help catch the egg as well.

At this point anything is worth a try!

Oh good @june I like a good morning romp

I wasted did a frer this morning. Bfn. And now fucking af has turned up two days early.
FML.

Oh steak I’m sorry :(

I can’t get any answers from anyone about my weird period this month and now I’m convinced there’s something horribly wrong (well, I already knew that but still) Google is a knob and keeps telling me it was probably implantation bleeding and that I’m probably pregnant but clearly I’m not, I just had a goddamn period albeit just a half a day’s worth but there was a decent amount of bleeding and cramps from hell. But I can’t find any other suggestions. I’ve posted about it in various places but nobody has answered me to say that it’s perfectly normal for your usual 5 days period to stop after barely a day. Why is my uterus so effing useles?!?!
