Where there’s a Yam, there’s a way

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 ☺️

Thankyou @LexieJean - needed to share here because DH will think I've gone bananas twanging my nips 🙈🤪

RhiBee29 · 02/02/2018 21:06

That's interesting @MynameisJune, did you ovulate later when taking them?

Is your Ovia app working now? Mine seems much better.

MynameisJune · 02/02/2018 21:23

@rhibee yes I think more CD16/17 than CD12/13 it’s why I stopped taking them as I’d had loads of issues with my cycles anyway.

Yes Ovia is working fine now thankfully!

RhiBee29 · 03/02/2018 08:13

I'll keep on with the OPK's then just in case ovulation is late.

LexieJean · 03/02/2018 08:50

That’s really interesting @june I’ve been taking the pregnacare supplements for months and just noticed a slightly later ovulation. Will keep an eye on this!

Today's distraction is going through all my clothes and charity shopping everything that doesn't fit or I don't like anymore.

It's not great for the self esteem tbh I've already gotten stuck in one dress and DH had to rescue me but I'm hoping for satisfaction and a sense of achievement afterwards!

It's the hardest thing, Milk, to stay positive. I am trying new things, like the acupuncture, in a desperate bid to keep my hope alive but it's hard. I think just one day at a time is all you can do, thinking any longer-term than that makes me sad.

Hi Yammers.

Hope everyone is feeling ok today.

I'm not. Some light pink spotting and mild cramping since yesterday morning, plus boobs are much less painful today. I've spoken to the epu who made me an appointment for Monday, but this is exactly how I started miscarrying in July so I'm feeling completely desperate. I can't believe we got so excited for a couple of weeks, and now I'm just waiting for a proper bleed. I moved a heavy bin Thursday night without thinking and now feel like it's all my own fault. Sad

Oh Limp I’m so sorry, I hope they can give you some good news on Monday ❤️ Also moving a heavy bin doesn’t mean anything, none of this is your fault. People don’t just stop living when they get pregnant. I really hope everything is okay x

Thank you. I've put myself on bedrest while DD is with her dad and DP is running around looking after me but I'm really not hopeful. I'd tell anyone else in the world not to be ridiculous about pushing the bin, but it's hard. We're trying not to second guess Bubblegum but I think it's done.

Ugh I’m ovulating today (can feel it) and I’m am horny af 🙈 but my HSG is on Wednesday and so we can’t dtd. We don’t use condoms on account of them being vile and all the “other stuff” isn’t interesting me at all, I want the main event. Ffs. Sorry, just had to have a rant lol

RhiBee29 · 03/02/2018 16:36

Oh @LimpLettice sorry you're going through this. I've got everything crossed that it's good New on Monday x

@Bubblegum89 do you have any toys that could do the job? How frustrating!

Bubblegum89 · 03/02/2018 16:51

Plenty Rhibee but it’s not the same lol I’m getting to the point where I’m considering just going to buy condoms. I sound like such a sex maniac like I can’t wait just a few more days 🙈 it’s my body’s natural instinct when it’s ovulating, honest!

OP posts:
RhiBee29 · 03/02/2018 17:07

I get it, definitely not the same! Go to the shops Wink

SoozC · 03/02/2018 18:06

Limp, everything is crossed for you, try not to worry but I know that is so hard. Every pregnancy is different, spotting and cramps don't necessarily mean there's a problem. Sending you massive hugs xx
