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

Welcome @Chanel05 feel free to cry scream or swear anytime!

No sorry hun @cupcakesandglitter I've been told I'm "normal" from my blood tests and haven't had a scan, I didn't realise you need a scan to determine pcos so I might see if I can get this. However I am regular like clockwork, and still can't get up duffed

@cupcakesandglitter speak to your GP about it, you don't necessarily need polycystic ovaries on scan if you have irregular periods and other signs/symptoms of pcos it can still be diagnosed

@Chooklass and @SparkwoodAnd21 sorry FP got you. She sucks.
Hi @cupcakesandglitter. Your cycle sound so irritating. I'd try and push for more blood tests I think around why your LP is so short.
@Chanel05 welcome. I hear you! I have done and tried everything under the sun. Everything you say and more plus medical tests and all I get told is there's no problem, keep trying. Two fucking years!
@Owlpatrol any cramps? Will you test?
CD16 and waiting for ovulation over here and hoping it happens this weekend rather than buggering off until cd23 like the last 2 months. Especially as I'm on a long haul flight next week and would miss it!

@strawberrye 'follicular phase' 😂😂

@Boboelephant I know right! I was like "who ARE these people"?!?!

@strawberrye 😂😂 That's gold!

@Boboelephant well yes and no to the cramps, usually they are worser by now but only very slight twinges, I'm going to test tomorrow as have a party at the weekend that rather a lot of alcohol is due to be consumed so I need to know really! Fingers crossed for you this month! X

Fx for @owlpatrol!

Thanks ladies, I'm gonna see what the doctor says next week xxxx

@Owlpatrol Thank you! Everything crossed for you today!
@cupcakesandglitter hope the doc can give you some answers then.

Thanks ladies it was a negative I am sad but I do have a few days left at due next Thursday so not end of the world. I have a ticket to drink tomorrow but I'll try to go easy just in case! Hope everyone is doing ok x

Ovulation is a few days early for me this month according to the sticks. Haven't had my usual javelin arse pain so I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing?!

I will find out if I'm pregnant or not on Xmas eve. Excellent timing!!!! Or not.....

Sorry to hear some negatives. So lucky we are all in this together, the support makes it a little more bearable.

Yeah @JustLikeTheySaid i agree so glad we're all in this together!

So last night after 3 gins thought it'd be a good idea to tan....sooooo this morning I look like a giraffe cramps have starred this morning so trying to see the one and only positive thing that I don't need to lie at the Christmas party or pretend to drink tonic water. Is that bad of me? I could technically be still in...fp due next week. Next fertile time will be Xmas week!! Great! With a house full of guests and big balloon bellies haha

@justlikethwysaid, I’m with you - my app has just given me Christmas Day as my FP or test day..... bloody wonderful! 🙈 This game is quite simply no fun anymore!

@Teachermummy83 my FPs due Christmas day too 🤞 x

Hopefully at least one of us will get the wee gift we want 🤞🏼
If not, there’s always chocolate for breakfast, and roasties, pigs in blankets, cheesecake, wine, cheese, gin....... 🤣

@Owlpatrol sorry for the bfn but your giraffe update made me chuckle 😂.
@JustLikeTheySaid, @impatientmammy and @Teachermummy83 my FP is due 23rd Dec so pretty close there too. Either an excuse to drown my sorrows or try and hide some very obvious non drinking!

I'm just with family Christmas Day so I'll just tell them if I'm lucky enough. I'd need to tell them if I miscarried anyway. I'm pretty excited. God knows why just setting myself up for a fall I expect 🙄 x

Really hoping that we all get our Christmas wishes x

I have no problem telling parents/siblings early. They all know about my losses and plan for IVF. But we are spending Christmas day with my hubby's entire extended family and parents close friends. So probably about 80 people! Not quite ready for that! Although I'm pretty sure I won't be anyway so probably a non issue!

I’m back.

My son Alex arrived too early at 17 weeks 5 days, just after midnight on November 29th. It all happened so fast. I started cramping at 5:30pm the night before, saw blood at 9:30pm, left for hospital at 11:30pm, started having what I now know was labour pain at midnight and delivered him in the emergency department fifteen minutes later.

Currently in limbo as we don’t have the all clear to try again as there are a million tests my obstetrician wants to do. Will need ovulation induction again to conceive and I’m terrified it won’t work and that it was just a fluke last time round.

Suddenly seeing babies everywhere and feeling irrationally angry whenever I do. Worried that I’ll never know what it’s like to hold a healthy baby of my own.

@BGDino I'm so sorry for your loss 😔xxxx

Oh @BGDino I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I don't know what to say. Have you got a good support network in real life to help you through this? Always here if you need to rant. Hugs xx

Snap @impatientmammy really want to tell people on Christmas day!

Oh gosh @BGDino I feel so sorry for you nothing I say will make it easier but sending trillions of hugs to you xx

Oh sorry @BGDino 😩❤️💐 x
