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

JuJu and QQ - here's hoping you're both wrong! It is possible. Sore b o o b s are NOT an indicator of anything. I get them every month, but it's just cycle-related, not because of pg. When I did get pg three years ago, I didn't get sore boobs until about 6th week of pg. So ignore them.

Maddie - sorry your eggs aren't biting. I hope perserverance wins the day..

18 Dec sounds auspicious Gin, here's hoping. All those short stages will make the time go quicker, just concentrate on the one thing at a time.

I'm cd14. Husband is away with work, but he's back tonight, so can get cracking tonight. OV prob CD17-18ish (I'm not testing OV this month.)

Month 15 for us..testing day will be in 16 days time (I won't be holding my breath though!)

Good luck everyone.

whats a diet chef day?

Hi VK -

Diet Chef is a diet delivery thing where they send you your meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack that comes to 1200 cals (once you've added milk and fruit and veg) It's all vacuum packed and suchlike, so not fresh as such. It's OK, but a bit samey, so I tend to do the odd Diet Chef day here and there, interspersed with regular food the rest of the time.

It's £190 for 5 weeks, about £5.20 per day. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it though - I'm just eating through a bit of a backlog before it goes past its BBD!

Lol - I tried ov sticks once, partly jury due to wanting to see that 2nd line, but I didn't even see 2 lines with them!
Well I'm out for this month, onto cycle 18. Wish this lap and dye appointment would come through!

Sorry AF arrived:o
I wonder why I wasn't offered lap and dye:huh:
For all I know my tubes has been blocked all the time, and all this IUI etc were useless:(

OK, I tested. Nowt. So back to the bonking next month (think DH is secretly pleased!). Am going to temp properly and try to remember to use OPKS too so I know what I'm doing.

I think perhaps stress played a part this month. We're scattering my mum's ashes tomorrow and I've been only just coping really, so perhaps my body's way of saying no, not at the moment. Que sera sera.

Ah my best friends have just sent me the first three seasons of The Hills to watch so I don't get too bored over the next week and a bit. They made me cry they are just the best! God I'm emotional.!

Sending all positive thoughts.

QQuaver - I'm having a laparoscopy to check for endometriosis as I have heavy, painful periods, IBS and often intercourse is painful too. I would have thought you'd be given a HSG test (ie, just the dye bit) though as i think that's a standard fertility test - have you had a HSG?

sarahs999 - must be a really difficult time for you, I agree it's probably not the best time for the additional stress on your body of getting that BFP. Fingers crossed it will come soon though

juju - glad you've got something to take you mind off it all - but from the brief bits i've seen of the hills i think that would send me mad!

chickpea - diet chef looks pretty good, but the portion sizes are tiny! I've taken to eating plain rice cakes to satisfy my hunger whilst avoiding my weight rocketing ( i have a big appetite!) they are only about 27 cals per slice so you can afford to scoff quite a few!

Nope:( Could it be that it's because I did get pg once (miscarried at 10 weeks)?

sarahs999

I've had a baby and three miscarriages and they did the dye test with me. You could always ask for it.
