Yammers thread 10!

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

@BGDino So sorry to hear, hope you're getting the support that you need.

BGDino · 29/03/2019 03:41

Hi everyone, I had my repeat BHCG test yesterday and the level was 5000 something from 300 odd last Thursday. My specialist is happy with that and the bleeding has slowed, I’m to continue progesterone pessaries and retest BHCG on Monday. Suppose we’re not out of the woods but also not out of the game, hang in there bubba...

impatientmammy · 29/03/2019 10:31

Just got back from holidays af came whilst I was away and I can't take clomid anymore so feeling a bit hopeless in my ttc journey I'm so not ready to give up but I'm not sure what I can do now to get me feeling a bit more hopeful about it all. Hope your all doing ok I'll catch up more later. Thinking of you @BGDino I hope baby sticks xx

NoseringGirl · 29/03/2019 16:54

@BGDino that's good news, keeping everything crossed for you!

@impatientmammy sorry for AF and that it's the end of the clomid for you. Would letrozole be an option? I've not had it myself but I've heard people having it as an alternative to clomid.

Yesterday was awful, it would've been my due date from last summer's miscarriage. I'm still feeling pretty miserable today to be honest. The 4 days of spotting I had seems to have stopped so I guess that's all I'm getting. Just waiting to see what happens this cycle. Got my scan in a couple of weeks as well so at least things are happening in that sense.

impatientmammy · 29/03/2019 17:48

I had blurred vision with clomid @NoseringGirl it's a side effect that only effects like 1% of people taking it and I wasn't even on a high dose. I'm still not home so might talk to a dr about it but I'm worried that a similar medication could do the same thing and apparently it's permanent in some people.
Im sorry your having a crappy time x

BGDino · 29/03/2019 20:28

@impatientmammy @NoseringGirl I had letrozole both cycles of ovulation induction it’s supposed to have fewer side effects. Had 5mg daily for 5 days both times.

@BGDino that sounds promising, fx for you xxx

@impatientmammy sorry you're feeling not to great about TTC.. I've not had any meds for anything yet so I can't suggest anything sorry, but did you enjoy your holiday? X

@NoseringGirl 😩 how are you feeling today? X

@Owlpatrol I know the feeling exactly - I can just tell she's going to turn up tomorrow. Fucked off doesn't even describe how I feel - tomorrow was supposed to be the day we surprised both families with the 12w scan pic. Instead I have FP to remind me I'm not a mum

@cupcakesandglitter I know exactly boooo mothers day is a hard one for me I don't know why other than it reminds me I'm STILL not a mum!

PaintingOwls · 30/03/2019 17:18

I did a FRER today at 12DPO because I've been feeling sick and I can't tell if it's anxiety or morning sickness or maybe just to torture myself and waste money and of course it was a BFN.

impatientmammy · 30/03/2019 20:16

Thanks everyone I think I'm gunna try leave it to fate for a couple of months and then maybe look into letrozole when I get pissed off with that 🙄
how's things going @BGDino I hope the bleedings stopped
@PaintingOwls Sorry about your bfn I hope your ok x

NoseringGirl · 30/03/2019 21:15

@cupcakesandglitter I've managed to keep busy which helps. It's getting to me more than I thought it would. I was stupidly convinced I'd be pregnant again by now obviously not! I really hope that FP stays away for you!

@PaintingOwls sorry for the BFN!

Does anyone else find themselves constantly looking for things they can do or buy to do with TTC? Every time I got to the supermarket, I spend ages looking at the OPKs etc even though I know exactly what there is and have probably used it all before. I think I just want to feel proactive? I hate feeling so passive and out of control.

impatientmammy · 30/03/2019 21:34

Yes @NoseringGirl !!! Exactly that. I was in Holland and Barrett for so long to day just looking for a glimmer of hope. I'm gunna try evening primrose and maybe I think I read chastaberry or something and vit c or d I don't remember which. Presead didn't work for me grapefruit juice might have. Have you had any new ideas? X

NoseringGirl · 30/03/2019 21:42

@impatientmammy my usual pattern is that I nearly buy some supplement or other and then worry myself that it'll mess up my cycle even more (though I'm not sure that's possible at the moment) so I chicken out. I'm just sticking with the metformin and vitamin b complex for now. I need to start exercising more so I might look for one of those yoga for fertility videos on YouTube.

impatientmammy · 30/03/2019 23:06

@NoseringGirl feels like a long time ago we spoke about that. Where you one of the girls from the north east? I forget there was def a few of us though x

cupcakesandglitter · 30/03/2019 23:42

@Owlpatrol irritating isn't it - I'm dreading tomorrow :( going to pee on a FRER in the morning but I'm pretty sure it's a no. Just a case of waiting.

@NoseringGirl 😩 fx you get your BFP soon! I do too - absolutely anything I can find related I will google and possibly buy. I've not tried extra supplements etc, I think I'm going to once I've lost some weight

Is anyone from the midlands on here? I feel like I'm all alone 😂

NoseringGirl · 31/03/2019 00:59

I'm one of the north east girls Grin just outside Newcastle!

BGDino · 31/03/2019 08:52

@impatientmammy still a bit of bleeding each day but nowhere near like Wednesday. No cramps, and still getting morning sickness so fingers crossed my repeat HCG tomorrow is good!

@NoseringGirl all the time, always paused to look at the frers, tins of formula, bottles...

cupcakesandglitter · 31/03/2019 09:32

Oh man 😂 yep I'm just alone here then, no one from any of the TTC threads is remotely near me 😂😩

Happy Mother's Day to all us Mum/to-be Mums whether it's now or in the future I'm going to go cry over some chocolate

impatientmammy · 31/03/2019 09:57

@NoseringGirl I'll try an actual yoga class with you if you like? X

JustLikeTheySaid · 31/03/2019 10:35

Mother's day fucking sucks, doesn't it? Sending love to us all. Praying there will be a happy mothers day in all of our futures. X

cupcakesandglitter · 31/03/2019 14:24

@JustLikeTheySaid it really does. To top it all off FP is starting. Currently lying in bed sobbing, can't even face seeing either Mum right now, I'm so sad. This year already feels shit

JustLikeTheySaid · 31/03/2019 17:26

I have cried on and off all day. We haven't done anything except go for a quick walk because I have just sobbed. Constantly. Couldn't even go to church this morning because I didn't want to listen to the "yay mothers are amazing" stuff.

My mother was not bloody amazing, in fact she is bloody awful when she wants to be. And now I am not sure I will get a chance to show I've learned from her mistakes.

NoseringGirl · 31/03/2019 19:12

@impatientmammy that would be lovely, I've always wanted to go to a proper yoga class but I find it a bit intimidating. I worry I'm not thin enough!

@cupcakesandglitter I'm sorry for FP, sending you lots of love Thanks

@JustLikeTheySaid love to you as well Thanks
