Month 12, 6 DPO, fed up and loosing hope

[fingerscrossed91]

Hi all,

I apologise in advance if this post is negative but I'm so so fed up with TTC. We have been trying for 12 months and haven't even had a hint of a line. My three best girlfriends (and soon to be bridesmaids) have all announced they are preggers this past month. Whilst I'm genuinely ecstatic for them I'm hurting so much as I don't believe it will ever happen for me.

I had to take a few days off work at the start of the week when the third told me they were preggers as I was just so overwhelmed and upset. A few days eating rubbish and watching Netflix made me feel a bit better but I have just lost hope that I will ever see a second pink line let alone have a baby.

I'm currently 6DPO and even though I know I won't be pregnant I'm still working myself up about it. I (stupidly) did a test today which was obv a BFN but it's like I can't help myself. It like a weird form of self torture!

I'd be so keen to talk to any hopeful mummas in a similar boat - let's keep everyone sain!

@Amy259 Glad you’re ok & thank you! , 😂😂 I’m not sure about that - I do try but I defo have my moments where I’m not.

At least it AF does show I’ll have my getaway just after and that will be nice and relaxing.

Hi everyone! So sorry for the radio silence it’s been a crazy week and I’ve just had no energy.

I did get my first Etsy order though, wahoo!!

How is everyone doing?

@Amy259 my scan was good thank you, she said everything looks great and as it should be. My OH has now got a DR appointment at the end of nov for a chat, annoyed it’s not sooner but hey 🤦🏼‍♀️

My doc said he’s forwarding me onto the gyno, not sure why or what they can do! But hey! It’s progress.

It’s getting super cold and grey now and I’m
Loving it!

Period is in 5 days. Where is everyone else in their cycle?

✨💕✨

@HopefulGlow that’s great that everything looks as it should! Your gynae referral is who do the hycosy, so I guess that’s what that’ll be now? Did she not mention that?

End of Nov seems forever away but I’m sure it’ll fly in, and hopefully he’ll get his SA organised soon.

How exciting that you had your first Etsy sale! What did you sell??

I’ve spent my day in the EPU 🙈 been having lower right tummy pain for a few days, the side with the dodgy tube so I’ve been driving myself nuts thinking it’s stuck in there, and woke up really sore today. Phoned them for advice and they got me to come right away, examined me then I waited for a while and got a scan. All okay, saw little bean in the right place… and a lovely big cyst on my right ovary that they’re keeping an eye on! Scary time, I burst into tears when they said it was fine. Very relieved.

How’s everyone’s weekend looking? Nice plans ahead? Xx

@Amy259 oh my goodness I’m so sorry you’ve been experiencing that! I’m glad they’re keeping an eye on you 💕 I can’t believe you got to see your little bean in there, I would have been in floods 💕

Yeah I’m hoping it goes quickly but he’s told me this afternoon he’s paid for an online test with a UK clinic. They send the stuff he needs then he sends the sample off and they send a report of the results. So I think he’s just eager to find out if he’s okay.

They didn’t mention anything, my doctor text me (still weird) and basically said scan results were find, referring you on to gyno to investigate unexplained infertility! 🤦🏼‍♀️ So….who knows?!

I’m sure I read someone said we are coming close to the end of our thread? Are we starting a new one?

I sold some marble effect gin glasses. I’m going to paint some more this weekend 🥰 I’m hoping I make a few more sales. I’m saving it for Christmas 🎅🏼

What’s your plans? ✨💕✨

Evening all,

Hope everyone’s ok and got some nice plans for the weekend?

@HopefulGlow No need to apologise we all need time out some times. I’m glad everything went well with your scan, that must be reassuring. Hopefully it won’t be too long till you hear from gyno.

Also, great news on the Etsy order - very exciting!

@Amy259 I hope you’re ok, that must have been really hard and very emotional too. Really glad everything looked ok ❤️❤️

Not many plans probably a chilled one again - I’ve decided to try making bread this weekend to practice for Christmas so will see how that goes. I’ve also booked tickets for Adele for next year so another thing to look forward too.

Xx.

@HopefulGlow love the glasses! 😍

Aww thank you, it was pretty scary tbh, I honestly thought it was all over. So yes, very emotional day!

Whaaat? I didn’t know you could do an SA like that! How does it work? DH had to get his sample to the hospital within an hour, it was so stressful, but if I’d have known there was a way to preserve them to post I’d have definitely got him to do that instead 😂

So was your scan with your doctor? Rather than at the hosp? I would imagine you’ll now get a letter for a phone appt with gynae, then referred for a hycosy. That seems to be how it works pretty much everywhere!

Yeah I think it’ll end soon, I’d like tagged in the next one just to see how you all get on if you do make a new thread - happy to stay quiet, but I feel invested in all your journeys haha ♥️

Tomorrow will be chill for us, then Sunday I’m going away with work for a week. So nothing too exciting!

@AZ1992X thank you ♥️ Ahh Adele will be absolutely amazing, when is it?

And send some of that bread here 😂 xxx

@AZ1992X your weekend sounds lovely! Definitely get making that bread, the smell in the house is so nice.

I might make a cake this weekend, I need some sugary goodness in my life haha

I bet Adele is incredible live 😍 she’s so talented! It will be something lovely to get excited over.

@Amy259 my appointment was at the hospital and they were lovely and told me then everything looked good. Then my doctors text me the next day with that. Part of me is really hoping it’s just stress and once things settle down it just happens. But I don’t know 😔

Of course you need to get tagged in the next one, we need to know how you’re doing too 💕

I might make one today (if I know how haha) I will make a list of everyone’s names lol

Where are you going away with work? ✨💕✨

Finally figured it out! New thread it poster above ladies!

💕💕💕

@Amy259 Its the first weekend in July in Hyde Park, London so still a while away yet but still looking forward to it. Think we’ll make a weekend of it and stop over.

@HopefulGlow thanks for setting up! I wasn’t sure which to reply too so thought I’d put on here.

Oo cake sounds delicious - what are you thinking?

@AZ1992X I’m thinking maybe a brownie? I have some chocolate so I’m feeling that this weekend haha

What kind of bread are you going to make?

✨💕✨

@HopefulGlow Sounds amazing - I love brownies. Well anything sweet tbf 😂😂

I’m planning on doing bread rolls, if they go to plan I’m going to make Christmas Day to go with the soup ☺️

Hope everyone’s had a nice day xx.
