With Dd it was 10 looooong months before we conceived and I admit it was the month I gave up ttc that we managed it.

From about 8 months I hated the end of my cycle and felt depressed about the fact that there didn't seem to be any hope for us .
The harder we tried the more elusive it got.

I reluctantly resigned myself to fertility treatment. God I felt such a fucking failure. I was really very hard on myself , it wasn't a nice place to be.

Dh was far more optimistic, but then they usually are in such matters.

It's shit... the whole thing!

Well I feel fab atm, so obv I'm worrying about m/c

Just waiting for a scan to tell me everything is okay. I don't remember panicking this much before, but I could be wrong. I have a rubbish memory for these things.

lottie I am the same I don't have pg tests in the house and as so many months have passed since ttc I am too scared to get excited as I would just be very upset...have no signs of af though yet..did have small glimmer of hope from Squack about the loose stools (not quite diahhorea) which is what I had yesterday, today feel v nauseaous and horrid taste in mouth again... all will be revealed! I wont be testing until Saturday/Sunday....
We will all see the next few days but fab temp Lottie - fingers crossed to us all xx

Saturday/sunday bloody hell! Surely not Minxi!!

minxi · 11/06/2008 14:39

Oh my god...just been for lunch round a friends.... ten minutes later had to run to the loo..still have the loose stools! Lottie Squack* I am waiting because I know the disappointment I will feel.... and if it is Sunday and still no af then it might make a special Fathers Day surprise....

sorkycake · 11/06/2008 14:48

Ooh sounds hopeful. I've been running to the toilet convinced it's going to come away, only to get there and have looser stools but not 'runny', it accompanied by a wind-like cramping too. Don't think it's anything i've eaten because it's been like this for a week.

Could be fab news at the weekend then, finally!

sorkycake · 11/06/2008 14:48

Lottie has anything materialised yet?

Thinking of you both!

Yarnie · 11/06/2008 15:47

Lottie I hope AF stays away. I think we need to keep up the BFP momentum, so you'd be helping us out

I just wrote out a long post in response to you saying you felt like a failure as it brought a tear to my eye. I'm not going to post it though, because I don't want to appear condescending, particularly given I am a lowly first time first cycle ttcer. The crux of it, though, was to remember that despite our emotional investment in this whole process, try to hang on to the fact that a huuuuggggeeee part of this lark is a numbers "game" - even under the shadow of fertility issues. A bit of tenacity and the odds are very good that you'll get there in the end. You have been diligent and sensible in your approach to ttc and should in no way feel like a failure. Your time will come.

sorkycake · 11/06/2008 15:52

LOL I'm a cervix rummager too!

When I realised it was staying high, I rustled about up there every morning LOL.

Well if there's nothing there now I wouldn't expect to see any tonight

This is super exciting, the threads been very quiet lately.

Not enough rummaging that's what it is!!

You guys are making me feel all emotional. You're so funny and sweet. Hang on...is that a symptom?!

Ready · 11/06/2008 16:16

Afternoon ladies...

Thanks for thinking of me Minxi, I am indeed back from hols... totally relaxed.

I see that there are a couple of reasons to be hopeful on this here thread - very exciting!!

So what's been happening??

lastboxoftampons · 11/06/2008 16:16

Yes, not getting excited here.

And I've worried about self-induced cervix bleeding myself! Decided I'm having none of that this cycle, though. I'm not going to worry about my CM or complete lack thereof - I have preseed and if I need it, I'll use it! Hoping that's me relaxing enough to not scare my body so much it refuses to make ANY EWCM. Doesn't matter anyway, we've got builders in for the next 8 weeks, so I'm sure I'll get PG - happens on Grand Designs all the time!

lastboxoftampons · 11/06/2008 16:17

PS Excited to see this thread moving a bit!

Lottie Holiday was amazing!! 5* luxury and worth every penny!!
It's good to hear you are relaxed... and have a plan of action. A friend of mine is just undergoing IVF via the NHS, and she was amazed at how quick everything happened, so things don't always have to take a long time - but if you expect a long wait, then it can only be pleasantly quicker I guess
Well, I am due next week... timing was perfect for our holiday and we gave it our best shot ... I think to be honest, if we don't conceive this month, then we will probably take a break and just accept the fact that it isn't going to happen naturally for us - because we couldn't have done more this cycle (if you catch my drift ) and then get the ball rolling for assistance. I have just started my new job, and want to settle in a bit there before I run off and start fertility treatment.

Sorry for the waffle

Morning girls, have taken my name off the list as am back to cd1 today..and am giving up! I'm upset but need to forget temping etc.....and hopefully it will happen but I need to chill... I will lurk and hopefully see bfp's. Thank you for all your support x

Yarnie · 12/06/2008 09:17

Really sorry about that Minxi Maybe taking a step away from temping is the right thing to do. I can see that watching your body do its thing under a microscope can be quite stressful, which is no good for ttc. Stay in happy oblivion for a while and you'll probably get your BFP without even trying Don't go too far away, though
