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

Thank you -- have just booked first doctors appointment for fertility. Early next week.

How we all doing ladies!?! Weve gone into page 4 omg yammers.

I've had some really odd left hand ovulation pains today I normally dont feel them from the right side so that's a bit weird.

Been trying to hint hint to do all day for a deed but hes not getting the hints. Wish me luck!

@Owlpatrol ooh happy ov!! Did you manage to DTD?

How are you getting on yammers? X

Just saw the most anti baby woman I know in town with her new baby. Now sitting on sofa snivelling and necking wine from the bottle. Would quite like to punch something.

@NotMaryWhitehouse oh god. Shit parent? It's so unfair there are people that are blessed to have children but treat them like shit

No, not shit, just a party girl. Well, she was, I'm guessing she isn't now. Just always said she never wanted them, no chance. Maybe she alway did vat couldn't admit it out loud. Felt shit anyway. Have moved onto drinking from a glass now, whilst mowing the lawn. God knows what the neighbours think.

@cupcakesandglitter although at least once a week, I see a woman just screaming at her kids about how awful they are. I always feel like Saturday by 'I'll have them!'

I always said I didn't want them and always went to parties. In truth, I feared I wouldn't be able to have them, and didn't want people's sympathy. After a lot of pain and IVF we did manage. Now trying for a sibling. But people don't always tell the truth about TTC (no-one IRL knows we've been trying again for two and a half years).

After trying for 11 month (and without protection even before that) we've been for our first doctors appointment this morning.
Doctor has sent me away for a couple of Blood tests and a scan.
Depending on results hubby will have to do a seamen sample.

TTC: number 2
Cycle: 12ish
Age: 29

@AiryFairyMum no, absolutely- it's a lonely journey.

@SuzieQ10 good luck with the testing!

Sounds like a few people have had a tough time recently, hope we have some good news on the thread soon!

I'm CD14 and having a weird cycle already. My temp had been rising like I'd ovulated but it started way too early. It then dropped again a couple of days ago and went up again today. OPKs have been getting darker but not positive. My body just being weird as usual I guess!

Following my post earlier about our 1st doctors apt, postman brought an invitation... to a baby shower. I don't know how I feel about going, it's not for a couple of months actually but don't really know if I can face it.
I'm very pleased for pregnant relative (they had fertility issues) and don't want to be silly, don't want to burst out crying or something either. Anyone been in this situation ?

@SuzieQ10 I couldn't face going to a friend's baby shower when I was going through treatment with clomid. I just didn't feel like I could cope. She was really understanding about it. Don't feel bad if you're not feeling up to it.

How's everyone doing?

I think I've actually ovulated, it's only the second time I've ovulated since the chemical pregnancy last July (!)
Currently about 7DPO and going slightly mad.

@NoseringGirl wow that's fantastic! What change brought that on do you think?

No change here - except I ovulated on day 15 bizarrely, perhaps acupuncture is doing its thing. Acupuncturist has recommended a couple of different supplements, so started one of those and waiting for another to arrive.

Lots of love cookielove
@NoseringGirl that's great about ovulation!

After two 21 day cycles I possibly might ovulate today so predicting a 22 day cycle this month. Saw GP and had day 4 bloods done and just waiting for ovulation to book day '21' blood tests. DH doing SA this month too. Once we have all the results back we are being referred to the fertility clinic

@NotMaryWhitehouse I think maybe it's the metformin doing its job? I've also been taking omega 3, CO-Q10 and vitamin B complex.
Sounds like the acupuncture is going well for you! What are the supplements?

@dragonmummy17 fingers crossed for ovulation! Good luck with all the testing. Have you had the results of the first ones?

@NoseringGirl she said to arrange a phone appointment after I'd had both done. My cycles are so short they will be less than 2 weeks apart anyway!

@NoseringGirl omg congrats on ovulating, I'm mega pleased for you!!! Xx

Supplements recommended as follows........

I have bought the iron supplement, will buy the other tomorrow. Evidently it's a better form of folic acid to take. I think she thinks I might be a bit low on iron (based on her making notes after seeing my tongue).

@NoseringGirl I don't think I twigged we both had a chemical last July- what a shit thing to have in common! 🥂

Hi ladies glad things are going well and Horreay for ovulation.
I'm just checking in really feeling a bit meh about ttc. My clearblue ovulation sticks ran out last month, I can't be bothered with folic acid let alone the other pletherer of stuff I have in the cupboard, I've gained a stone and sex is rare atm. 🤦🏻‍♀️ sorry here for a moan apparantly 😂 x

@impatientmammy sorry you are feeling rubbish. We had to take a break recently because it was starting to really affect my mental health. We focused on other things other than ttc and it really helped (for a few weeks anyway). Take care of yourself... this is a really hard journey!

@dragonmummy17 how you doing now? I'm ok really tbh just a bit sick of it all. We're away from each other next cycle again then I'm gunna really go for it. We get married August 2020 and I'd hate to be pregnant for the wedding x

@impatientmammy I am feeling ok this month because we are getting the tests done for referral to the fertility clinic so it feels at least like we're doing something. I know what you mean about being sick of it though. I hate feeling like I'm having to dtd on schedule even when I really don't feel like it and that's what bothers me the most... and then I feel guilty for feeling like that!
Are you going to change anything after your break next month?
