TTC - Thread 2- a lucky one!

[Blossom428]

Hi guys....
Thought I'd set up this new thread for us.
Tag anyone else from the group I've not got.

@AnxiousAnnie86
@Spinksy9 (thought I'd tag for you to check in with us after your BFP 😆)
@Chlo2701

I don't know when to test again, maybe Saturday morning as I have a meal Saturday night. I'll see how spotting goes tomorrow.

@AnxiousAnnie86 glad you feel better- you never know, it does just take one time! But yeah I hate that feeling of just wanting the cycle to be over already. It's sad as it's making us wish our life/ time away, when we should be enjoying every second. God damn TTC and what it does to us.

My mum sat me down and told me that me and my brother were both IVF babies the other day. I didn't know this, so was a bit of a like 'oh' moment but completely fine with it because I think I had been reading up about it. She hadn't want to tell us before incase we felt different- but I jsut said well unless it was a different egg or sperm that would be a shock that's been kept all this time hahah!
Then I went into over drive and thought oh god now it could be genetic. But appaz it was a ectopic so had to have 1 tube stopped, then the other got an infection in. She said it was so easy to ivf back in those days and literally had to pay £50! Imagine!! Book me in ASAP! Haha.

@Blossom428 at least it wasn't fertility issues behind the reason for IVF, I think ivf babies are extra especially wanted too so see no issue in that!

Did you resist testing this morn?? 4/5 dpo for me today it's such a boring point

Yes I said this @AnxiousAnnie86 :)

I tested with an IC this morning- blank again.
No spotting as of yet either. So I'm just thinking spotting my happen tomorrow and I've added an extra day again!
I'm happy with my days stopping as they are now haha- can't deal with having longer to wait!

@Blossom428 hahaha I will swap you! This will be a 45 day cycle for me 😱

@AnxiousAnnie86 Sorry I've been offline for such a long time - I've been feeling pretty crap about it all.

After discovering that I've got hormone imbalances, we have to wait for the result of my husband's semen analysis before they could come up with a plan to go forward, because a lot depends on that.

We've just found out there is most likely a 6 month waiting list for this analysis due to Covid.

So it's been recommended that we keep "pugging away".

So basically we now have to kill time for 6 months.

I'm so over this, it's just unfair, and all around me people seem to be getting pregnant on pretty much the second try without any issues and props to them, that's great, but AAAAAAAAAAARGH ITS MY TURN!

Rant over 🤣

Anyway, I'm cd13 so between 1-2 weeks before ovulation, so really not much going on here. Hope you're doing ok - sorry you're having one of those bitches of a long cycle.

@TheOrangeMonster ah I'm sorry :( it's the not knowing of it all isn't it..... we will start investigations in January if nothing happened by then....

I was so so upset last month when my period came I actually cried so much, I've never done that since MC.... but it just feels impossible to imagine now. So I totally get how you feel. A guy at works just announced his wife's pregnant, they've been trying for two years with no luck and the day the found out she was pregnant he was due to drop a sample at hospital!!!! X

@TheOrangeMonster also on the CD THats the shit thing isn't it, you are CD13 so if you knew you were about to ovulate it would feel like your chances came so quickly! Can you imagine ovulating CD14 every month! Oh my gosh! I'd be so so so happy!!!! In 18 months the earliest I've ovulated is 17 the latest being like 78!!!! Now in six months it seems to be anywhere between Cd18-35

@AnxiousAnnie86 that is the bugger. It's just a pain, it takes so long for the wheel to turn, which is even more unfair. I overheard a woman on my husband's conference call going on about how she was nearly 4 months pregnant today, for the first time I actually felt quite angry at her. I never want to be that woman who starts resenting the others who get pregnant but after all this time that tiny voice at the back of my head has started to be a bit louder than usual. Makes me feel worse too, because I know it's totally unfair to direct any ire towards them. (Obviously this is just all in my head, I'm not actually accosting pregnant women and screaming at them 😂)

@TheOrangeMonster hahahah I do understand, our best friends have just said they are gonna have a baby! She says "he just needs to look at me and I'll be pregnant" really pissed me off as she knows what I'm going through, and they are so in and out of wanting one it just seems unfair.... I said to DH I Know I'm going to be crazy when she gets pregnant! I don't want to be that person!!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 bit inconsiderate of her! But then again people who don't have issues getting pregnant have no clue what it's like to actually have issues, so we can't blame them.
In other news, a salesman came to the door today and asked me if my parents were in.
I didn't know whether to be offended or flattered (I might look young but I don't look that young!)

@TheOrangeMonster 😂😂😂 id take that!!! I used to get Id all the time!! But since last year not at all!! It's been a hard 2020 lol

Sorry to hear you've been having a bit of a crappy time @TheOrangeMonster , I guess we all go through good and bad months, and it is harder as the months go on and like you say, I feel like there are so many babyannouncements these days it's so hard not to feel that jealousy.

I found myself watching YouTube videos of people doing pregnancy tests at dpo today 🙈 I don't know why I feel the need to watch that haha!
But yes I'd defo take the young comment, it'll only be years later we wish we looked younger anyways haha.

No spotting at all for me today. No symptoms of anything at all either!

@Blossom428 how did you get on today? Did the spotting stay away? X

Hope everyone is doing ok. It hasn’t even been that long for us yet but I can see how the stress of TTC can really wear on relationships. It’s so stressful

@WaitingForEgg hey! How's it going? It really does take its toll :( what cycle are you on now? Xxx

@AnxiousAnnie86 spotting started yesterday and turned up properly today 🤦🏽‍♀️ back to CD1 for me.
Get what you mean about stress wearing on relationships @TheOrangeMonster. Told OH I'd come on and he just wasn't sympathetic or anything. Which just made me feel even sadder, and he was just like stop putting so much pressure on it!
God I wish he would have one day in my head and realise how it really felt! Urgh boys sometimes really just aren't sensitive at alll!

Sorry I meant to tag @WaitingForEgg in that previous post

@Blossom428 my husband was the same for a long time, he's only recently started getting quite sad with me :( I hope you never have to get to the point we are at where he starts to feel sad too! You will be lucky before then!!! Do you take Vit D? A lot of people I've seen have been successful with taking that? X

@Blossom428 also I'm sorry Af came.... I really had everything crossed for you.... we need to start a new thread now as we will reach cut off! If I miss anyone please comment here! I think we have a few posts left x

Ive done a new thread, hopefully you can all see it now x

Found it- TTC thread 3 a luckier one!!!
Thanks!!

I can't find it anywhere- please can someone tag me on it?
