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.

AliSxo · 19/12/2019 22:08

Flowers to all you ladies.

I’m not ttc, after multiple miscarriages, 4 years of crying my eyes out, almost broken marriage and mental health deterioration due to making massive career choices to maintain Mhamad precious pregnancy, I managed to conceive my son. The love of my life.

I would like to offer you all hugs and let you know that the one thing I wish I had done more is look after myself better.

For every time I feel so shitty for seeing an add or a friend pregnant and rubbing it in my face, I would put a few quid reflective of my hurt feelings, towards my future dream.

This could either be used to fund things for a baby when it does come, or IVF if it comes to it, or a nice holiday or whatever.. but it would be well deserved to spoil yourself a bit while enduring this emotional labour.

Just a thought if it might help anyone not wear themselves down Like I did and find positives in crap situations

Positivity2019 · 23/12/2019 10:51

Not posted in a while but enjoying reading everyone’s messages of up yours. With Christmas on our doorstep I have a massive up yours for being convinced I would have a lovely Christmas pregnancy announcement for family and friends and alas I do not.

Up yours to my best mate with her absolutely gorgeous four month old who keeps telling me to keep a positive mental attitude, that this is the key whenever I try to have a moments moan or weak emotional moment with her. I try to stay positive all the bloody time but you know every failed month takes it’s toll on that.

Happy Holidays everyone, I really hope for some Xmas miracles and 2020 bumps for us all.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 24/12/2019 08:57

Up yours to AF being a week late.

Up yours to this month marking a year since my BFP and not even a shadow of a line since.

Up yours to trying to negotiate TTC sex around Christmas and staying with my family and DH’s family.

Up yours to me avoiding the message from my cousin because she’s pregnant and I don’t want to talk about it.

Positivity2019 · 24/12/2019 23:37

Absolutely up yours to AF showing up today three days early when I was so sure we had possibly done it this month.

whatsthecraic91 · 29/12/2019 10:51

Up yours to having spotting for 3 days and thinking YES!!! IMPLANTATION BLEEDING!!! Then getting a BFN this morning at 12DPO.

Up yours to still clinging on to hope that it could turn to a BFP when you know deep down it won’t.

Up yours to it now being one year since I started the mind fuck that is TTC.

Up yours to having to phone the doctors tomorrow to get an appointment to see what the fuck is going on.

Up yours to having the fear that something is going to be wrong and the fear that nothing is wrong!!

Up yours to thinking I’ll be going into the new year pregnant. Bullshit!!!

Rant over

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 29/12/2019 16:09

Up yours to getting a ‘Promoted to Big Sister’ plaque as part of my funny family secret Santa gift from a very well-meaning family friend. It’s part of a game so my DM opened it and immediately looked at me. “Is this an announcement?!?” No!

Megabustravelling · 29/12/2019 19:13

Up yours to cycles still being effed up 7 months after mmc. Up yours to them finally returning to normal last cycle and then getting longer again this cycle.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/12/2019 14:06

Up yours to posts like this on Facebook...

sunbreak · 30/12/2019 14:09

Up yours to AF after being late for 5 days and getting our hopes up!

whatsthecraic91 · 30/12/2019 14:13

@BeingATwatItsABingThing I hate Facebook announcements!! Had to deal with a couple on my newsfeed over Christmas 🎄

Up yours to AF showing up this morning 3 days early 😒

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/12/2019 14:29

I’m really struggling now. Why is it happening for everyone but us?

toomanypillows · 30/12/2019 15:01

Mine's a historical up yours.
Up yours to 10 years of ttc (aged 25-35) and absolutely nothing. And now, at age 46, every single period I have is worse than the last one. And they can up yours as they have never ever done me any good, so what is the actual point in having them at all? Much less having incredibly painful and heavy ones.
Up yours af!!

whatsthecraic91 · 30/12/2019 15:07

@BeingATwatItsABingThing I know it’s so unfair! I have my GP appointment booked as it’s officially been a year.

@toomanypillows omw that’s absolutely heartbreaking I’m so sorry x

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/12/2019 15:26

If nothing happens this month, I’m getting my appointment too. It’ll have been a year since my EMC.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/12/2019 17:24

So the Facebook post I shared above is not a pregnancy announcement. It’s a TTC announcement... Hmm

Chanel05 · 30/12/2019 23:09

Up yours to not one, but two babies being born on my birthday this week and it feeling like an extra slap in the face.

wannabebump · 03/01/2020 21:04

Another up yours from me... Brown when wiping, typical AF symptoms so she's about to show her ugly face.

SIL has just "announced" that they are going to try for number 2. Best friend is trying for number 2. I can't even get a positive test...

Worried that I have spotting from 8dpo and that's not long enough a LP. Worrying myself sick about it.

Xx

Farmgirl85 · 03/01/2020 21:45

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 04/01/2020 12:54

Up yours to myself for testing today at 6dpo! What the hell was I thinking?!?

NicoleR14 · 04/01/2020 18:10

A whole lot of up yours to ttc!
Up yours to the hated SIL who's just popped out another one that she can't look after!
Up yours to cycle being all over the place!
Up yours to hormones being through the roof and crying every time I see babies!
Up yours for family's!

Rant over now I'm quietly going to sit in my corner and cry again! Sorry for the dramatics ladies just needed to get it all out I thought this was the perfect place to do so!

amethyst45 · 04/01/2020 22:46

Up yours to husbands being too tired for sex causing you to be silently FUMING and convinced that you will definitely not be pregnant due to missing that one time even though that's totally irrational and you have probably already ovulated. It makes me so angry that they don't fucking realise that there is a small window of opportunity for pregnancy to happen in the month and it's so annoying that they don't take it as seriously as us (apologies to the people who do have husbands who take it as seriously as them). Now I don't want to have sex with him at all but of course I will have toAngry

So beyond fuming right now whilst he will have a lovely sleep regardless

NicoleR14 · 05/01/2020 00:06

@amethyst45 you think that's bad my husbands awake I asked him what would get him in the mood he said talk dirty to me about my game I laughed and tried to touch him he shouted stranger danger i feel like I'm living with a child! 😂

Dollywantsareallifedolly · 07/01/2020 14:12

Up yours to those at work who keep disturbing me whilst I am trying to secretly read this 'Up Yours' thread Grin

This was just the tonic I needed after being so down in the dumps about TTC.
Thank you all!
