LaurenN23 · 29/12/2019 20:07

Carleyxo · 29/12/2019 20:22

@LaurenN23 I'm so sorry to read that. It's so awful having our hopes go up and down like this. I also thought this was my month and it took 8 BFN tests to finally admit to myself that it wasn't 🙈. So sorry, it's utterly heartbreaking. Hope you can have an early night to rest and slowly get yourself ready for trying again next cycle. Hang in there x

LaurenN23 · 30/12/2019 08:00

@Sylva123 thank you 💕 got up early this morning to test again but still a BFN - not sure why I do it to myself 😞 fingers crossed now for next cycle! X

dragonfly1978 · 30/12/2019 08:18

@LaurenN23 so sorry it's not your month 😥. I was the same last week and did so many tests which were all absolutely BFN. Fingers crossed for everyone this month!

LaurenN23 · 30/12/2019 11:37

@dragonfly1978 thank you 💕 feel really down today, like it's never going to be my turn. Need to try and pick myself up!! My bbt is still up so I'm guessing my luteal phase is longer on clomid which is a good thing if anything!!

Carleyxo · 30/12/2019 19:17

I'm sorry you're feeling like this we all can understand 😭 let's feel positive and put our all into the next month. I've stocked right up on vitamins for the preseed and cough medicine at the ready to and going to try the SMEP @LaurenN23 x

dragonfly1978 · 30/12/2019 19:50

@Carleyxo I agree, I have just ordered pre seed, I have my clear blue tests at the ready and am also going to try the SMEP. I am not going to start quite as early as CD8 though as learnt last month that DH can't cope for that long as I didn't get a positive OPK until CD16!. I think I will start at about CD12 and follow the plan from then!

Loziliz75 · 30/12/2019 19:57

@LaurenN23 completely get how your feeling, I’ve been like it recently and only just picked myself up ready for the next cycle armed with supplements that I haven’t tried yet. I just need to order pre seed and cup ready to go for next cycle!

Found out my husbands best mate and his wife are pregnant- I feel bad coz I’m happy for them but at same time gutted as they have only been trying recently, is this normal or am I completely been a selfish bitch? Xxx

LaurenN23 · 30/12/2019 20:07

@loziliz75 no I completely get how you feel. I feel completely unnecessary anger and hatred for people announcing their pregnancies. My best friend (no longer even my friend) announced her pregnancy to me back in March (it was an accident, she got pregnant using the pull out method) and she's due any day now. I've had to delete social media as I just can't bare to see her smug pregnancy pictures - makes me feel like such a petty bitch.

@dragonfly1978 I'm going to do exactly the same next month! We dtd every day for 10 days and tbh I don't think it's worked because hardly any sperm was being produced on the most vital days!

@carleyxo yes I've just ordered more opks too and I will also take the guaifenesin more regularly!! Fingers crossed January is the month for us all - a clean slate. 2020 needs to be our year, it's our turn.

Mol5 · 30/12/2019 20:11

Hi ladies - just popping on here to hopefully offer some hope for the new year! I used to be a regular poster but haven't been on in quite some time. We had success after 4 years TTC with PCOS on round 9 of Clomid and i'm currently 34 weeks pregnant due Feb. Sending baby dust to all xx

Loziliz75 · 30/12/2019 20:16

@LaurenN23 I feel the biggest bitch ever coz all I can do is cry 🤦🏽‍♀️😭 xx

LaurenN23 · 30/12/2019 20:21

@loziliz75 don't worry - let the tears flow, we are all in the same boat and completely understand. Infertility is a cruel cruel thing and it doesn't help that all we see are pregnant people or people with babies. My eyes fill up just seeing people pushing their prams in the shops - I just wish it was me, I'd give anything!! I'm sure so would we all 💕

Carleyxo · 30/12/2019 20:38

Good idea @dragonfly1978 I'm estimated to ovulate on the 6th CD12 so should probably start on CD8 right?

Carleyxo · 30/12/2019 20:42

@LaurenN23 @Loziliz75
Completely agree with you! My SIL is pregnant after 2 IVF (she's gay) and we found it so hard! She says she gets it but I find it hard to believe because she would of always known IVF is the only option whereas we have the monthly heartbreak. I feel so guilty but can't help feel upset. She's also having twins.

Oh god @LaurenN23 the pull out method that would make me so angry!!!! I also deleted Instagram over Xmas as couldn't deal with everyone's announcements. I so agree it's our turn! DTD every day is fab I take my hat off to you but like you say maybe less was being produced?

Carleyxo · 30/12/2019 20:43

@Mol5 that's fantastic, how did you manage to get 9 rounds?

Loziliz75 · 30/12/2019 20:46

@LaurenN23 @Carleyxo I’m glad I’m not the only one that has those feelings, I know it’s wrong and selfish I just can’t help them overwhelming feelings! I don’t think anyone can say they know how you feel until your in that infertile boat 🚣‍♀️ 😩 @Mol5 congratulations 🥳 there is hope for us💫 xxxx

LaurenN23 · 30/12/2019 20:47

@Carleyxo I know. Infertility has turned me into such a bitch. I used to be quite jolly and optimistic. I see the negatives in everything now and cry most days. My arms feel empty, and seeing others get their babies so easily makes me mad!!! Yes I think this time we're going to tone it down - we were desperate not to miss the window on our first actual try!

@mol5 that's wonderful- congratulations 🥳 great to hear success stories in similar situations 💕 amazing that you got 9 too!!!

dragonfly1978 · 30/12/2019 20:53

@carleygh yes I would start trying on cd8 if you think you will ovulate on cd12. I thought I would ovulate sooner last month (my first on Clomid) and husband was exhausted by the time i actually did!!!

Carleyxo · 30/12/2019 20:56

@dragonfly1978 @LaurenN23 if it's anything my consultant told me every other day but I'll do every other and then every day for 3 days x

dragonfly1978 · 30/12/2019 21:04

@Carleyxo that's exactly my plan as well!

Carleyxo · 30/12/2019 21:14

Let's do this @dragonfly1978 💪🏽 are you taking vitamins and using the preseed to? I'm hoping this month works, I'm going to give it our all and then the following month I'm going to begin reflexology (I would do it but it will be after ovulation so will start it in time for the following ovulation x

LaurenN23 · 30/12/2019 21:22

@Carleyxo @dragonfly1978 last month I brought 1ml syringes from Amazon and about 15 mins before DTD I put some conceive plus up 😂 it's supposed to be good for sperm if it's already gone into the cervix to help them swim!

dragonfly1978 · 30/12/2019 21:27

@Carleyxo yes I am on vitamins. Haven't used pressed before but have ordered it for this cycle!! Maybe I should try reflexology, hadn't thought of that, will google now as could probably book before I ovulate, I think it will be the 10th Jan
