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

fantasia322

I've only posted here once before, not because I ever had TTC probs, but because you all made me feel so lucky and humble and showed me that I had always taken my fertility for granted. Since i posted last year there have been some positive posts from people about pregnancy and I just wanted to say that I have a feeling there will be some more soon. Im not psychic or anything and its just a feeling, but I would like to wish you all loads of sticky baby dust. You have all been through so much and I can cannot think of any ladies who deserve their hearts desire more than the ladies who post on this thread. I wish for you, everything you wish for yourselves and thank you for making me realise that I am a very lucky woman. God bless and I know there will be positive results soon xxx

Hi girls! Hope all are keeping well.

Thanks Fantasia for your message full of hope. I am sure we will have some good news here soon.

We are getting letters from hospital now daily to fill in different forms and have been invited to patient information evening on July 7, which we can't make as we are on holiday! Will have to reschedule that, hopefully they will have one in September, as I don't' expect to fit in before with our holiday and the me working away. But things are happening - and at a much faster pace than we expected.

We had a lovely day in town yesterday getting some last minute things for our holiday. Then we got home and I went on to do some gardening just to run back inhouse within 5 min with bleeding hand - managed to cut my finger while using trimmer for the grass... Stupid stupid me. Ended up in A&E for a couple of hours, got some steri-strips... Haven't had a great sleep as it is still bleeding a little bit. Oh well, I seem to be unable to do anything now, and even typing is a challenge. Was told to keep hand absolutely dry for a week, so it will be fun showering and washing my hair!

OMG Ginvzt! What have you done!:eek:
You need to get rubber gloves for washing hair etc;)

Great news re ttc though:j

Couldn't agree more. Even though I have been lucky enough to graduate from this thread,I'm still humbled by the determination you ladies have, and will never take my LO for granted.

Sending lots of Baby dust your way XXX

Thank you for the welcome. It is so lovely to come somewhere I know people understand. I have not had clomid because the doctors say I am too heavy. They did give me Metformin and I was so sick on it, it was dreadful. Tried going down the natural progesterone replacement cream route and ended up being a bit like the Incredible Hulk's sister, though less green and much, much meaner. Hubby was at the end of his tether, so was I, and we decided to stop all attempts at trying to correct my hormones chemically. It was a very hard decision to make. But there is every chance that I mightget pregnant naturally. These things do happen...so I pin my hopes on that.

I have had many random symptoms over the weekend, and either my PMS is really, really bad this month, or it is the real thing. I am even getting morning nausea. Not actual vomitting, just nausea. I have promised hubby that I won't test until 1st July, and I won't, but i am really worried. How am I going to react if it is a BFN again, espeically after the symptoms I have been having? I am going to arrange a doctors appointment so that if it is a BFN, we can find out what the bloody hell is going on in my body! But emotionally...I will admit to being kind of concerned about how I am going to handle it. I am trying to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.

crikett - it is hard when you get BFN. I had a few months when I was sure we got there, even AF was a few days later than usual, but never managed to actually cross the line. You cope. We all will. We cry when we have to, and I am not ashamed to say that.

We bought a soft toy for a friend's baby yesterday and I was sitting on sofa hugging it and listening to a lovely melody it plays - it is supposed to help to put baby to sleep and was saying to OH that he will have to go and get another one, as I am keeping this one for myself. Of course, I won't...

I managed this morning to re-arrange our patients' information evening for when we are back from holiday, but before I have to go away with work, so I am happy!

I think there should be a health warning against reading about PCOS and early pregnancy symptoms. Oh my good gravy! :eek: I am now totally convinced that it is my PCOS doing this to my body and I am going to get a BFN when I test. I want to curl up in a corner and weep. Of course, I won't, and I shall carry on as normal. But later on tonight, or maybe later in the week, when I drop a fork in the kitchen or something, I will become an emotional wreck for a few hours.

This TOTALLY sucks!!
