A whole load of “up yours” to ttc

[Chefwifelife]

I saw a post like this on a non conception board and thought it was quite funny and cathartic so I thought I’d start one.

I’ve got a whole bag of “up yours” to the trying to conceive process. Who wants one?! I’ll start.

Up yours to 10 months of ttc #2 and everyone telling me it’s quicker the second time around as your body knows what to do.

Up yours to indent lines on one step tests and frer’s

Up yours to people telling me to “relax and it will happen”.

Up yours to the age gap which is quickly getting bigger and bigger between DS1 and potential DC2.

That’s me done.

Up yours to your scheduled sex not going to plan and then going to sleep in a huff with each other!

@whatsthecraic91 I've been there. This week during my fertile window I fell asleep while waiting for DH to come to bed the day before ov. Can't even blame him for that! X

I have a once in a life time opportunity next October. It is something I have always wanted to do and won’t be possible if pregnant or with a young baby.

I don’t know what to do. Do I keep TTC and risk missing out on this opportunity when I might not even be pregnant then or do I take a break from TTC when it’s not even working anyway?

This is why TTC sucks!

Up yours to a miscarriage at 5 weeks, of the most perfectly timed pregnancy (obviously too good to be true) after a year of trying

@ChangeyMcChangeChange same boat, miscarried at 5 weeks.

Up yours to not being about to tell people why you're crying and having to take time off work with a "tummy ache"

Xxxxxx

@AliSxo for good or for bad I started bleeding last night so by this morning I knew I wasn't going to work. I just had to message a couple of colleagues that I had stupidly already told (up yours to being so arrogant as to thinking this would all be ok) but I'll still have to talk to my boss next week

And sorry for your loss, it feels no easier even this early xxx

Up yours to all these TV programmes where a couple have sex once and she ends up pregnant! Anyone watched world on fire? Peaky blinders also comes to mind! There is probably a long list! Makes me want to throw my TV remote control at the telly - IT'S NOT THAT EASY!!

It's been a while but here it goes. A whole load of up yours to my perfectly lovely nephew and his GF (both 20) who have announced their pregnancy news today.

Up yours to the third pregnancy announcement at work... Just as I was thinking that all of the talk would end because both other pregnancies are imminently on maternity leave.

Massive up yours to the first 4 Facebook status on my newsfeed being baby/pregnancy announcements 🖕🏼

Up yours to my DH who doesn't understand the concept of a fertile week no matter how many times I try to explain it

Up yours to the colleague who announced her pregnancy yesterday, confirming they weren't even trying, 'it just happened'...

Up yours to yet another miscarriage at 10 weeks, just as I thought I could dare to hope.

Up yours to waiting weeks for a missed miscarriage to actually pass.

Up yours to the polycystic ovaries that only give me three or four chances a year and when they will be is anybody's guess.

Up yours to getting older and even less fertile so fucking fast.

Up yours to the (lovely) friend I'm going to stay with this weekend who is expecting another perfectly planned, easily conceived instababy. Up yours to the fact the miscarriage may well happen while I'm there.

Can I join?

Up yours to people telling you you’re more fertile after a miscarriage

Up yours to people telling you it’ll just happened

Up yours to feeling like a failure every time AF appears

Up yours to AF jumping to a 23 day cycle putting the fear in me that I’m perimenopausal as I 39

Up yours to those people who tell me we’re trying too hard and that we should relax and it will happen

Up yours to everyone who commented at least you know you can get pregnant after our miscarriage - I don’t know if I can stay pregnant

Up yours to BDing according to the calendar

Up yours to the people who tell me the statistics of loosing your first pregnancy

Up yours to faint positives followed by AF bang on time

Up yours to being overweight because of comfort eating during this

Up yours to the women who complain to me about their pregnancies without thinking

Up yours to the doctors who won’t help us until we’ve passed a year after our miscarriage

Up yours to feeling like this will never happen for us

Up yours to urine and sperm samples for fertility tests having no issues making me feel like the problem must be my body

Up yours wishing I’d met my DH when I was younger instead of at 37

Up yours to the colleague who stuck her baby right in my face days after retuning to work after my miscarriage

Up yours to the Aunt who slated me after my loss for announcing early and attempted to prevent family getting in touch to offer condolences

Up yours to social media ads assuming I’m pregnant

Up yours to those who tell me heaven needed another angel

Up yours to the pressure getting to DH and causing him to struggle when BDing then get angry at himself

Up yours to a tilted cervix

Up yours to the constant symptom spotting in the TWW even though you swear you won’t this cycle

Up yours to the friend who mistakenly believed we had a pact to tell each other we had fallen pregnant and called me to tell me she was knowing I was six weeks from what would have been my due date

Up yours to still getting morning sickness while waiting for medical management of a miscarriage

Up yours to the people accusing me of being obsessed with TTC which DH is fed up of hearing too. We’re vigilant with our BBT and OPKs and SMEP so what difference does that make to them!

Up yours to only booking UK holidays because we don’t know if I’ll be pregnant.

Up yours to everyone who told us we’d have a Honeymoon baby

Up yours to everyone who thought my DH was wrong to get me a puppy to help get me through this incase I fell pregnant. I didn’t realise just how much I needed that puppy who can tell when I’m feeling sad and just comes and cuddles me close.

Up yours to everyone who tells me I’m putting pressure on DH. DH and I are one strong team and despite the hell we’ve both been through this we are both completely on the same page with the same wants and desires.

Up yours TTC

@solongtothedream I'm so sorry for your loss

Oh yes and up yours to 15 years of clockwork periods until I decide to start TTC.

Up yours to our first appointment at the GPs heralding a year or unsuccessful TTC.

Up yours to being informed at said appointment (as I was well aware) that we live in the only CCG that doesn’t offer a single round of IVF on the NHS

Up yours to the fact that our GP decided to open the entire conversation with that fact as if it’s a fait accompli that that’s where this is headed.

And one that isn’t really an up yours but that I feel only this thread will find entertaining.. up yours to walking to the tube tonight and dropping my Clearblue digi holder as I get out my oyster and a very sweet teenage boy picking it up and saying ‘oh I’m sorry, you’ve dropped your... vape??”

oh I’m sorry, you’ve dropped your... vape??”

You’re right. That made me smile!

@Dollywilde for your day, and thank you for the smile at the end!

@PottersonDayz same to you, sorry for your losses.

Adding an up yours to idiots who post 'hilarious' jokes about expecting miracle twins on social media with a 'ha, just kidding' punchline.

@solongtothedream yes! And people who do the April fools things with a fake scan pictures etc - makes my blood boil

Up yours to “transvaginal” scans.

@solongtothedream @whatsthecraic91up yours to the fact I once found those funny.

@Loopytiles up yours to the fact I have to have one of those bastards in the next couple of weeks

I’m going with anger rather than sadness right now. It feels more productive...

Today's up yours.....

Up yours to the fact that none of my friends seem to understand what we're going through and are full of unsolicited unhelpful advice

Ooh I need this too.

Up yours to getting my period on my wedding day when we thought we were pregnant.

Up your to my SIL keep telling me how easy it was to get pregnant without trying.

Up yours to them picking my baby name for their kid.

Up yours to yet another month of being late but then no pregnancy.

Up yours to infertility testing and all that brings.

Up yours to ttc and thank you for this post it’s therapeutic.
