The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

I had found that site previously, but forgot about it! Shall have another gander Glad you've got your mum's support, and found something to make you smile. I how you get useful information soon, but I can completely identify with you putting it off.

Thanks for the thoughts and congrats ladies tcd, I essentially cut out almost all the processed carp, cooked from scratch with much more fruit and veg, watched portion control, drank a lot more water and had an eye on calories. I much prefer the way we eat now and am happy that it's a (cliche alert) lifestyle change, rather than a diet, iyswim. If we ever do get kids, I know we'll be feeding them properly too

Wow BZ, did you have insomnia?! Congrats on the weightloss, amazing! Hoping the scan appolintment comes through soon.

Hugs Teaandcake... I'm rubbish at giving out advice, but thinking of you.

I can't believe you haven't tested Tea, but totally understand the logic. Good luck!!

AFM, had a horrible two days due to someone very close having a baby, so sent me into a self-obsessed pit of 'it's unfair' despair. Have now got a grip of myself, and am genuinely happy for the new mum. Think these things just bring it all to a head. Was googling 'accepting a childless life', which didn't help.

Round two of clomid, 8dpo (ov'ed really early this time). Lots of CM and high temps. So now i'm googling that in the hopes it a pregnancy sign!

999 Reasons to Laugh at Infertility ia amazing, thank you!

WTDN - really hope clomid is working for you xx.

BZ - can you teach me how to cook lol?? I love the idea of it but haven't the faintest idea where to start with it all. So I put it off and eat toast

Well.... 10dp5dt today (so effectively 15dpo) and two days to OTD. This was supposed to be OTD but will be stuck in a meeting instead. My logic at the moment is that I'd only test with FMU, so that's today out of the question. Which means I only have to be patient tomorrow morning and then we'll be leaving for the hosp about 7.15am on Thursday.

I do really want to know, really REALLY want to know.... but only if it's good news. Otherwise I'd rather stay in denial for a while longer.

Still no real symptoms to speak of, certainly nothing that couldn't just be from cyclogest.

I am soooo bloated. That is all.

Tea.. Sending very positive vibes your way x

Good luck Tealover. Really hope the bloating is a good sign!

BZ - hope OH is OK.

80 pounds is amazing weightloss. You must feel good about that, you must get comments all the time?

I have lost 30 pounds, it's slow going now though! 20 pounds to go.

I'm feeling a bit gloomy though.

My 4 year old didn't help by touching my stomach today and asking if I was going to have a baby in it soon. I think his key worker at nursery is pg, so they have obviously been talking about it. So I had to tell him 'No, you're one of a kind'.

Which is definitely true. Wish it wasn't though.

Doesn't help that AF is due and my system is flooded with progesterone aka the gloomy hormone!

Keep positive tea.

Me too. I spent Sunday morning in bed crying my eyes out. It didn't help I had PMS.

Tcd that website is amazing! Love it. Especially after my FS clinic is the same as the Antenatal clinic. That's really thoughtful!

Hi all

I did briefly post on the thread but had to drop out of fertility treatment go awhile. We're just about ready to ttc again, I would love to get pg naturally but wih my 'cycle' it's never happened.
