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

Be kind to yourself tea. You are going through so much, you are most certainly not a cow. Its a very very hard time emotionally, so please cut yourself a little slack.

If it makes you feel any better, I rearranged my holiday so that I wouldn't be available to be a godmother like I had previously agreed to as I had just miscarried (the mum in question wasn't aware of the pregnancy/miscarriage) and I wasn't up to being able to coo over the baby etc. But I did it for me, and it was the right thing to do at the time as I just couldn't have coped.

It is such a hard process all of this. And your hormones will be playing havoc with you as well.

Try to step away from the pee sticks for a few more days. If you aren't bleeding, then maybe test again on Thursday?

At 21dpo, I had such a faint TLP on an IC that I thought it was over too. If you are not bleeding and not cramping, there is still hope. But then I know how hard it is to hope at times too

Huge hugs tea, be kind to yourself and take it easy. The fact that you are not bleeding is a good sign. I bleed even with cyclogest when my ivf didn't work. Really hope this works out for you. Phone your clinic tomorrow for advice.

tea, i'ts not over yet and i know you can bleed on cyclogest, as i bled on and off for 4 weeks on 3 cyclogests a day, i have my fingers and everything else crossed for you xx

TL - step away from the pee sticks. What did you FS say? Are you seeing him or her before your 12 week scan?

Huge hugs tea.

Just a quick question for any of you lovely ladies who had clomid after very long cycles... When you stopped taking clomid what happened to your cycles? X

tea lover, cyclogest made absolutely no difference to whether I bled or not. I took it every time and the only time I didn't bleed was the time I was pregnant.

You can't use whether a line's dark or not as an indicator of how well things are progressing - you know you can't. Even the same make of test can vary massively.

I had hCG tests to ensure things were progressing. Could you ask your clinic to do this for you?

Still stalking.

Tea, really really hope everything is ok for you, fingers and toes crossed for you.

Welcome Floaty. I hope your Sunday hasn't been too bad. After my last experience at a baby shower I have decided to be kind to myself and politely decline any similar invitations that are just going to make me upset. Trouble is I barely have any friends that don't have babies at the moment!

Tea, hope you're feeling OK. Is there anything you can do to distract yourself? (stupid question I know). Are you going to make an appointment/ring the docs?

T2D, sounds like a lovely holiday

Took another test today at 13/14dpo. Another BFN. Think I'm deffo out this cycle, I have no symptoms whatsoever. So now just want to get on with clomid round number 3, hoping my stupid taking-the-p*ss hateful period doesn't arrive late like last month.

BigZippy, when is your next appointment with your clinic?

Thinking of you tea and keeping everything crossed for you.

Wtdn so sorry to hear about your bfn and I hope af turns up quickly for you.

Afm I'm on cd 3 but only had approx a weeks break in a month from af. I'm so drained now its untrue and I know I can't even ttc with a cycle like that. Will be back to trying to get hold of the fs tommorow.
