The Good, The Bad and The Yams!

[LookingAtTheStars89]

CALLING ALL YAMMER'S!

Yammer rules:

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

Long-time luteal spotter - anyone else?www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2998852-Long-time-luteal-spotter-anyone-else

@OrcinusOrca x

So bored of this limbo of am i pregnant or not? I know i said i wouldnt.. but i took another test this morning and still.bloody negative. (Sigh) got excited about my accupuncture visit and was sure id see a result this morning. Ho hum.

Temp has dropped quite a bit this morning so perhaps today is the day.

@OrcinusOrca yeah I've had some months spotting from about cycle day 25 not fun but I'm going to read that thread

@Pinkemi ahhh I really feel for you. Keep strong chick

Thanks @Chooklass funnily enough I read that thread a while ago but it's good to refresh my memory, doesn't sound so doom and gloom after that. Have you found anything helped, did you ever try Angus Cactus? I tried but B6 and it didn't help, made no difference at all. I've read that PCOS itself can cause spotting but I'm not sure if that's in a low progesterone/anovulatory cycle kind of way.

I am finding it hard being in the yammers club currently Get to a point where I feel like a BFP would fix everything in my life and of course it wouldn't but you get to levels of desperation don't you? It just feels so unfair. I am not liking my 'new' job much at all. Been there six months, need to do a couple of years really which is why buggering off on mat leave would be ideal, but it's going to get to a point where I will say to DH enough, because I don't want to get stuck there. I'm working outside of my specialism, and I like the area I work with but my actual team is rubbish. I can't stay out of my specialism too long else it will get very tough to go back, and I definitely do want to go back. Ho hum

Hi @OrcinusOrca, I never got round to trying agnus castus - think I did some reading around and decided it wasn't for me. My cycles are totally regular and a good length so I was scared of messing that up! B6 did nothing. I have pcos and possibly endo on my left ovary so I guess the bleeding is related to that, but since my cycle is healthy (apart from extra bleeding) I must have only mild pcos and endo. Scans showed my uterus and tubes look clear and healthy. Hormone tests all fine. I don't think there is much else they can do and suspect my next appt in a few weeks will discuss ivf!

Anyone have any idea how I might be able to induce a period... but not harm a baby if there is one there?!

Very bored now.

Aw @Pinkemi! You sound pretty desperate! . Using up a FRER usually brings my period along shortly after!

Or going for a big poo! I have nothing more useful to offer I'm afraid! 😂

@Chooklass I am desperate! 😂 I hate this limbo.. but i dont want to hurt my chances if i actually am preggers you know? Normally Sex brings my period on.. but ive just been so not in the mood recently. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and get in the mood. lol

It as a FRER that I used this morning for my BFN.

Hope your ok @Pinkemi how what cycle day you on?

I had my first "why am I not pregnant yet" drs appointment today. They're doing CD21 bloods and a sperm test for OH but I'm not sure they'll do much else as I'm very lucky to have conceived my little but naturally.

What else is there we can do? How much does acupuncture cost? I read on another thread a while ago about seeing a herbal dr has anyone tried this ? I'm totally ready to try anything now I may have even googled if you can buy clomid online before I remembered I'm not insane. Also the grapefruit thing? Anyone tried it? I'm on a diet and don't like grapefruit. Or evening primrose 🤔 Sorry I'm totally obsessing tonight. I hope your all ok x

Well I think my FP has just shown up two days earlier than last time, making a 25 day cycle. First full cycle on met was 27 and I had the hycosy this cycle.

I feel like I'm destined to be unable to have DC. All this cycle analysing and clearly there is something fundamentally wrong for me to be unable to blink and be up the duff like seemingly everybody else.

Will be EXTRA pissed off if my body is being a proper jerk and stops after the big gush I've had this AM

Period has turned up. Spent most of the morning sobbing as had begun to hope that this was our month. injections start tomorrow. (Sigh)

Aw happy/sad for all of you getting AF.. it's bittersweet isn't it. Hoping I'll sync up with you Yammers I'm on CD81 and I'm desperate for AF now just to bloody start fresh. I might give temping another go next cycle, my cycles are getting longer and longer I think I need all the help I can get.

Good luck with injections @Pinkemi will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Oh no pink sending lots of hugs

Decided to take myself shopping bought a new outfit in new look and some cleaning products, so rock n roll! Anyway cramping started today so fairly certain I'm out as it's a tell tale sign I'm only 4dpo ish only time will tell

Any ladies on their second....do you have any positive pre bfp cramping stories to keep me hoping for the rest of the month?

Saw a pregnant friend briefly today, not going to lie I was green eyed, due just before Xmas and taking a full year off, must be nice. Sigh

Really sorry to see not so good news. Fingers crossed for next cycle.

I have tried drinking lots of not from concentrate grapefruit juice and it has definitely helped my CM be thinner and more abundant so it is worth a shot? I've been drinking half a pint of grapefruit juice topped up with half a pint of squash which seems to make it taste okay!

So my FP vanished. Had a big red gush yesterday AM and nothing since  fucks sake! Something definitely isn't right. Makes me worry more because if I wasn't ovulating at least I could hope for something like clomid to force it, I think the environment is crap and I don't know how that can be fixed.

@Owlpatrol that doesn't sound nice, sigh. Gets hard to keep the positivity up doesn't it

Yeah I'm ok but feeling a bit off it today, I have all this motivation then it keeps waning, got a busy week at work so at least it'll pass the first week of the tww fast!

@JustLikeTheySaid that sounds good when in your cycle did you start drinking it? I hope it works x

I started from the first day of my period and then stop a few days after ovulation. Then I eat pineapple for 4 days!

I had a HUGE amount of EWCM yesterday although ovulation sticks still just saying high. Not sure that much is normal and it is quite blobby rather than super stretchy (sorry for TMI!!!). We BD anyway just to be sure...

What's the pineapple for? X

It is meant to help with implantation - bromeleine or something? But only for 4 days after O because it can then increase miscarriage I read.

I've started taking high dose vitamin c let's see eh!? I was really hopeful yesterday symptoms seems to make me feel pregnant but today I feel un pregnant thinking of testing Wednesday for fun x

@OrcinusOrca Hope your body sorts itself out soon - that sounds very frustrating!

I have really sore boobs this cycle (7/8dpo) and no spotting yet. Usually spotting starts when boobs hurt. So, obviously, I've totally got my hopes up now!

Fingers-crossed @Owlpatrol !
