Thread 6... 😑

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. Please read the rules before posting!

The Yam Commandments are as follows;

  • Thou shalt not arrive one day and post BFP next day
  • Thou shalt not give advice to others when TTC for one month only
  • Thou shalt 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 shalt not be offended by strong language
  • Thou shalt 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 shalt not symptom spot during the two week wait and must be prepared for a telling off if you do so.

NEW RULE ALERT!

-Thou shalt not post pictures of positive pregnancy tests. We will be delighted to hear about it but no photos, please and thank you

Thanks ladies, no sign of FP yet, but so much CM that I keep having to check I've not accidentally pissed myself. Thank fuck I have pads haha. About to board my very delayed flight now, desperately hoping the dreaded period shite doesn't decide to make an entrance half way across the sea! Oh and just to add to it all, having been marching around this hot airport all day trying to stop my arse going numb, I'm now all sweaty and rank too. Poor DH will get a shock when I arrive home haha.

Oh, might have crossed the TMI barrier there 😂🤪😉

JaggyJobby · 28/03/2018 17:34

@Si1ver in one of the earlier threads we said we'd just say "i got my golden ticket" rather than "woooo I got pregnant" haha as its a bit nicer to the rest of us who are still trying. But to be honest after gttibg to know you all I am more happy when one of you gets a BFP so I personally don't mind. Whereas the lassie on my FB who just announced a pregnancy Envy haha!

MynameisJune · 28/03/2018 17:42

@jaggy I had this before my last fp arrived. So much Cm I thought either fp had arrived or I’d wet myself. Either was a possibility thanks to no bladder capacity anymore 😂🙈😃

LimpLettice · 28/03/2018 17:59

Update after scan yammers. Instantly found sac and yolk sac. Sonographer and midwife both think all on track to have ovulated 15 days after miscarriage, so about 5+4. Looks good. Still too early for heartbeat so not sure I feel any safer, but tentatively hopeful. Not sure I'm exactly breathing a sigh of relief but progressed better than last time and it's a good start. Keep sending those sticky vibes please.

QuietTime · 28/03/2018 18:52

Wow limp congrats, that's great news - fx for a peaceful time before the next scan

Bubblegum89 · 28/03/2018 18:56

Congrats limp so happy things seem to be going well so far. Fingers crossed!

Yay Limp wonderful news xx

LimpLettice · 28/03/2018 19:38

2 weeks today, Wonky. They want to see heartbeat and have been amazing this time about reassurance. I still can't stop waiting for the worst, so it'll be a long fortnight indeed. Thanks peeps 🙏

WonkyDonk87 · 28/03/2018 19:50

We're here all the way for handholding/Pom Pom waving/drinking ALL the wine on your behalf (because Lent ends tomorrow for me!) xxx

Paranormalbouquet · 28/03/2018 19:58

Congrats @LimpLettice! Fingers crossed all goes well this time!

Si1ver · 28/03/2018 20:23

I don't think I've ever been more pleased for someone else @Limp. Everything is crossed.

NimbleKnitter · 28/03/2018 21:16

Crossing everything Limp. Have a lovely relaxing Easter break xxx

NimbleKnitter · 28/03/2018 21:20

I have some leftover proxeed if anyone wants them? Male and female.

Bought in desperation (you all get it).

They taste rank and almost certainly do nothing, but you're welcome to them!

FairyAnn · 28/03/2018 21:28

Congratulations Limp!

JaggyJobby · 28/03/2018 21:32

Well FP has finally made an appearance. Think it started when I was gripping the seat so much my wrists hurt during "light" turbulance. I'm not a fan of flying haha. Must have been clenching my uterus too 😂

haha @MynameisJune glad its not only me that has experienced that then, can't wait to get home and change as I feel gross after spending a whole flight like that haha!

Congrats @LimpLettice so happy for you x

Paranormalbouquet · 28/03/2018 21:37

Got a call from RMC to say it was cancelled. I was not happy.

Then half an hour later got another one to say it was in fact not cancelled.

So far the organisation is impressive obviously!

Hopeislost · 28/03/2018 23:06

Great news @LimpLettice!

That's really kind @NimbleKnitter but I'm heading for IVF, so I'll let someone else jump on those.

How are you getting on?

NimbleKnitter · 29/03/2018 08:52

Pregnancy is way more physically challenging than I could have imagined, but compared to the mental torture of trying to conceive, it's easy.

Being totally honest - I don't think I could go back there. I have accepted this is our only shot

SparkwoodAnd21 · 29/03/2018 09:19

Congratulations Limp, all is crossed for you.

Nimble how far along are you now? Hope you’re not feeling too awful. I might like to take the Proxeed, what would you like for them?
