Yam Fam!

Yammers thread 9!

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

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

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

@Pinkemi my point is these things are all possibilities. At 10dp5dt you shouldn't need fmu to get a clear read, a four hour hold will be enough.

I have absolutely everything crossed for you. Please remember that you're in an excellent position. If this doesn't work, you have two frozen embryos on ice. Three transfers takes your chance of a successful pregnancy to a massive 80%.

I hope your test is positive this evening xx

@Cardi86 my cycle was 24 days this month, but has usually been 26 recently.

@ivf2019 I feel so much better when sticking to a low sugar diet! Skin is much better - that's the biggest difference for me. Periods less sore and sleep better too. But it's really tough! It really does seem to be the best treatment for pcos though. I'm deliberately not trying to lose weight at the moment (my wedding dress fits and I don't want to alter it!!), but last time I stuck to this diet I lost half a stone pretty easily (my BMI is around 25 so I don't have huge amounts to lose).

Oh my god guys.... Its positive!!! the line is a bit lighter then the control line but its definilty there!! My first ever BFP!!!!!!

Congrats @Pinkemi

Oh my god @Pinkemi that's brilliant news! I'm so pleased for you.

@Pinkemi. Ahhhhhh! I have literally been checking the thread for days! (I know I know I'm a stalker!)

Fingers tightly crossed for you and congratulations!

@Chooklass. I can really recommend going sugar free or reduced sugar. I felt great when I was doing it. Sugar, I think causes inflammation too.

My DH isnt as excited as i hoped he would be... he just told me that he always thought it would work! Never ever thought it would go wrong!

He wants me to now stop stressing about everything. Easier said than done!

Omg omg I actually eeeeekd out loud @Pinkemi congratulations and just the boost this thread needs!!

@Pinkemi. Men can react like that. The night I showed DH my test he had been sleeping on the sofa so I woke him up and said "Look at that line" he said "Its very faint, I'm not convinced" and went back to sleep 😂😂😂

Ha, my husband was very close lipped about my bfp too. He said he knew it was going to work too, but it didn't really seem to sink in until he had four or five tests lined up together. I tested every other day, and when the test line was stronger than the control line he agreed it was definitely happening.

Oh my god @Pinkemi congratulations on your BFP!!

Eeeeeeee!! I'm so happy for you @Pinkemi!!!

Oh yayyyy congrats Pinkemi! So chuffed for you. All the best for a straightforward and uneventful nine months.

That’s interesting chooklass & looking - I definitely want to get my BMI down before starting any treatment (hopefully summer next year) but also my skin is terrible so sounds like that would help! It went haywire after coming off the pill, settled down for a bit and is now back to hideous again 😩

Hi ladies, not been commenting on the thread much as I've just got back off holiday and now super busy with work - but I have been reading all your posts and @Pinkemi just wanted to say I've following your story and willing you along since your egg retrieval and so happy to hear about your BFP, congratulations!

Same here @ivf2019 - the pill totally hid my pcos symptoms! I kind of see my skin as a reflection of my hormone health now. It's worth reading up on low GI/ low sugar/ insulin resistance diets. Depending on how your current diet is it might be easier to ease yourself in gradually.

I'm so chuffed about @Pinkemi's BFP I've barely thought about AF arriving today!! 

Congratulations Pinkemi!

Congratulations @Pinkemi that's amazing news !!!
Sorry to hear about AF @Chooklass I hope your ok xx

Congrats @Pinkemi !!!! Xx

Morning Guys! Did my offical test this morning and worrying a little at how much lighter the line is to the test line. i need to stop panicking.

Also tried to do a clearblue digital that shows the weeks.. didnt work!! Been sat in my bathroom cupboard for years.. didnt even register that i had peed on it. Grrr.

@Pinkemi. Yeah I've had a few faulty ones. Just grab a new one, chances of getting two buggered ones are slim. My first few tests were light. I switched to a digi before a frer got dark.

@LookingAtTheStars89 Frustrating isnt it! Especially when we pay so much for them.. you just want them to work!

So my test last night was a First Response Rapid Result test.. and the line started quite faint. I assumed this morning would be darker because its with FMU.

this morning was an Ovaview (i think). I ordered them off amazon ages ago! (Cheapy pink line tests.) This one was a bit darker than the strip test the clinic gave me.. I think ill keep using these over the next couple of days.

I called the clinic and they are forwarding me some more pessaries. (oh yey! ) and I told them about my concerns so they told me to just keep testing over the next couple of days and "hope" that the line gets darker!!

Ill also be getting a 7 week scan sent out to me in the post!

I'm in a sort of daze.. my husband this morning said to me "Morning Mummy!" All i could do was sort of stupidly grin.

Right.. I'll stop going on now! Just want you guys to know Im thinking about you all.. (hugs) I don't think I could have got through this without you lot.

Awww @Pinkemi keep us posted!

I must admit I'm having a crappy day, I seriously woke up on the wrong side of the bed. My boss is nagging me constant, I've got a headache and cramps and I literally could cry or scream. I keep going between feeling pregnant and positive and feeling un pregnant and pmsy

@Owlpatrol I'm sorry your having such a crappy day. Also sorry to hear about your boss! I have a similar relationship to mine I think.. some days it can just get to you! Take a 5 minute break.. with a cup of tea or coffee and get some fresh air... and breathe. That normally helps me!

When is FP due?

Sorry to hear you feel so horrid @Owlpatrol

Theoretically I'm due on any day. No spotting. No PMS. Just nothing. Worried my body has forgotten how to do everything...feeling pretty crap after the chemical last month
