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

Ok, Cklear blue test was kind enough this morning to inform me that I am not pregnant. I am fine - I think I 'knew' I am not a while ago, and I didn't think it would work. I am not planning next cycle any time soon, as I have explained to OH, I need to sort out my work situation first.

Oh Gin. I'm so sorry honey :bighugs:

Nothing else I can say really

No need to feel sorry for me - I 'knew' it is not working, and it doesn't really feel like I lost something just this morning.

Ok, ok, but i'm not pleased for you

I am pleased you're dealing with it well. I think I summed it up well last night when I said this whole thing is just sucky. I know, I have such a way with words

Maybe it is all for the better. At least I will not need to listen to the lecture from MIL this Christmas about what should I do or not do in pregnancy. Although, now I will probably have a lecture of how to increase our chances of next successful cycle and then another lecture that I shouldn't wait too long before next cycle when i tell that it is not going to be for at least half a year if I change my job.

You can tell that I am really looking forward to see her

Oh dear. The well meaning In-Laws :rollseyes: My MIL dropped a clanger last time we went over a few weeks back, but telling me "you haven't been trying long" as if she didn't know what all the fuss was about. Granted, she tried 6 years for BIL but still.

Anyway, you know fine well, if it's not the what you can & can't do in pregnancy lecture, it'll be some other. And you'll get the what you can & can't do lecture at some other point lol. We can't win can we? :rotfl:

Yes, we will. Never mind, we will survive

BFNs suck - really suck. Sorry Gin, after everything you went through. I admire your attitude, I'd be a wreck.

I got stuck behind a car on CD1 this month whose registration ended 'BFN' - I did take it personally..

I bumped into another of my NCT group from #1 yesterday - heavily pregnant, may as well complete the set of EVERYONE I KNOW, why not? I didn't comment, which she probably thought was really rude. Oh well.

CD7 for me - focusing on eating a PCOS style low-GI diet - I don't have PCOS, but I reckon it can't hurt to try it..! I have booked acupuncture again for start Jan - and ordered a load of 'OVULEX' online, at great expense. I talked to someone the other night who said she conceived using it after 3 and a half years. Worth a try too, why not?

I think OH is suffering quite a bit more this result than me and than he ever did. Anyway, I asked him to call the clinic to let them know, as I didn't want to deal with 'oh, we are so sorry for you'.

It's easy to forget our men in all this sometimes isn't it? Maybe if you have time this weekend, do something nice, just the two of you.

Take care of you both x
