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

@impatientmammy I keep having that thought in the back of my head. It would be so lovely to have children close in she. She's such a lovely person and I'm genuinely happy for them, it's just very bittersweet and I feel like an awful person because my first thought was it should be me.
I just need to get over myself really and remember to be happy for them.
It may just be the tww hormones getting to me.

@Aph413 don't be harsh on yourself I think if anyone of us here on this thread hasn't had that why is it not my pain on their heart reaction to an announcement they must be an angel.
I'm craving a baby tonight too. Can't think of any other way to describe it id happily steal someone else's for a day or too ( with consent of course 😂 ) x

I joined a thread with fertile people testing in the run up to Christmas I was all excited and confident about the month I think there's been 3 BFPs this week and I have regret 🙈 my confidence in this cycle is plummeting the closer I get to AF. How's everyone doing ? Anyone due to test? X

@impatientmammy Those kind of threads are not good for me!! I avoid at all costs now.

FP due 26/ 27th but I'm not testing. I'm away with family for xmas and have deliberately not brought any tests! Not feeling positive. All my pms symptoms are the same as usual so I'm not expecting any Christmas miracles!

Feeling pretty down about it all just now. Think it's because it's almost the end of 2018 and I'm still not pregnant. Another whole year of barren-ness! Trying to think of some good proactive, non-baby related goals for next year.

Season’s Greetings to all Yammers, coming from Hong Kong airport. DH and I are running away to Tokyo for a week to try and distract ourselves from the pain and limbo we’re in (no TTC until we get the go-ahead from our obstetrician). (Basically we thought, $&@# it, let’s go.) I cried all down the front of DH’s shirt last night when we boarded the plane in Sydney because I saw all the families with babies queuing up to board and got that “why not me” pain. May 2019 bring us all the happiness we’re searching for.

Have an amazing time @BGDino hope it distracts you.
BFN this morning for me followed by a bit of spotting when I whipped after as soon as I saw it I knew it was a waste of a frer. I'm gunna try forget about it now. I think my OH is working away for my next 3 fertile weeks though 😔
Merry Christmas everyone I hope you all have a lovely day. I'm gunna take a deep breath and move on I'm very lucky in lots of ways x

Merry Christmas dear Yammers!

Merry Christmas Yam Fam! Hope you are all having a lovely relaxing day xxx

I don't want to offend anyone but I care about you all and I am shell shocked - I gave birth 8 weeks early yesterday! Baby is in NICU. I feeling quite traumatised. He is so tiny. I have a chest infection! I hope I haven't hurt anyone x x x

Yikes @LookingAtTheStars89 !!! I like hearing how you Grads are getting on - it gives me hope that it might be me one day! What a shock for you - hope your tiny bundle is doing well and you have plenty of support xxx

Congratulations Looking! Hope you’re doing ok and he’s home with you soon.

Hi would I be able to join this thread please?
Been ttc for 21 months now and referred to the hospital - next appointment March so waiting to see what they say after many tests over last few months x

You are very welcome @Pinkroseuk! Come in and make yourself at home. I've been ttc about the same length of time - totally sucks ass doesn't it?

Hey @Pinkroseuk I remember you from other threads I'm sure - sorry you're on here too ❤️

@LookingAtTheStars89 I hope your doing ok. It sounds like your really going through it. I hope your little baby is as strong as you are 😘 take care of yourself xx
Welcome @Pinkroseuk. March is such a long time to wait. How you feeling?
I'm at that horrible point where I'm waiting for AF to start I tend to get a tiny bit of spotting and then a couple of days of nothing which sends me wild clinging onto false hope. Doesn't matter how much I know it's coming I always have that but maybe. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas x

Thanks @Chooklass - yes it's not what we imagined but guess just have to wait it out.
I remember you too @cupcakesandglitter - sorry your on here too.
Thanks @impatientmammy - it does seem a long time to wait but they won't see me till I have lost weight - AF isn't happening by itself so I'm having to take tablets to force it on which they will only give me once my BMI is under 30- tried to be so good over Christmas but it's hard! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas :) xx

Hi yam fam.....been a busy few days

@impatientmammy omg I did that joining of a thread thought it'd be lucky and got soooo upset with not being my month

@BGDino awww hope you're ok I totally feel like that too this Christmas and
@impatientmammy lol 're stealing the baby thing, then giving it back!

Omg congratulations @LookingAtTheStars89 not upset me, and I love to hear how you're doing. Sending big squishy hugs

Welcome @Pinkroseuk

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas xx

Hello all, I've not been on the yam thread for about a year but am still unfortunately TTC. Sorry to see some of the same names :( How's everyone doing?

I saw someone linked to the original thread and have enjoyed re-reading it.

Hey @juneybean - sorry you're still with us! Hope you're doing ok x

FP arrived. No Christmas miracle for Mr Chook and I this year!

Hi Yammers, a belated merry Christmas to you. Hope I'm okay to update you all too - baby boy born Christmas Eve for me, just a few days before edd. We are both doing well.

I do keep an eye on this thread still, got my fingers crossed for luck in the new year for you all. xx

@Owlpatrol I've learnt my lesson. I thought it would motivate me to DTD in my fertile week but tbh all it did was remind me how long it's been.
Sorry your FP arrived @Chooklass how you feeling?
So AF is due tomorow I got a BFN Christmas morning at 10dpo or a frer would testing in the morning be a really stupid thing to do? I checked my frer again about 4 hours after (I know 🤦🏻‍♀️) and it had a faint pink line now I'm wishing that tiny bit of pink spotting could have been implantation but by 10dpo I should have got an actual BFP on a frer shouldn't I? Someone talk some sense into me please. You think I'd have learnt by now x

On a frer.*

Depends how sure you are that you ovulated exactly on schedule @impatientmammy. Probably worth chucking another frer at it.

Lovely news @SoozC, congratulations again xx

@Si1ver my ovulation based on clear blue ovulation tests I did have some ewcm the day after my predicted ovulation day so I suppose I could have been 9dpo when I tested I don't temp or anything 🤔 x
