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

Runnerduck

chickpea, i know what you mean, 3-4 years ago i was getting through a pregnancy test a month, and it really is a rollercoaster of emotions, i'd convince myself i had symptoms and then be devastasted when i was wrong, in a strange sort of way it was almost easier when we'd had the tests and knew it would be a minor miracle if it happened naturally, at least we could relax and enjoy bed , its still upsetting but you dont have your hopes constantly raised. good luck lets all hope this is your lucky month

Hi everyone, feels like ages since I've been on! Nothing knew with me, still chilling as planned, rearranged consultant appt from Feb to Oct. This new chilled attitude of mine has definately helped ease life at home - didn't quite realise how intense i had been and for the last three years !!!!

Runnerduck - best of luck tomorrow, its all sounding really positive, hope they put 2 back for you

Winning Angel, :wave: Hi and welcome, hope your not here for long! I agree with the others, think you should get another opinion to help explore other alternatives for you. Hope you get some answers soon hun.

Chickpea - the 2ww drove me nuts for years ! I mean literally every month any twinge, b(o)(o)b ache, back ache, spot etc etc etc it was all a symptom and I would be testing from 2 days before af was due and then enevitably came the tears. The one month that I relaxed I fell pregnant, shame it didn't last and obviously I haven't managed to catch a bean since I hope this is your month

Hope everyone else is well, will try and have a little read back to catch up !

Good luck for tomorrow Runnerduck - very exciting

I'm at 6DPO, 8 days has passed since the hcg shot, so have tested negative today on hpt:)
From now on, hpt will be accurate:o

This 2ww is dragging...

Morning all - just got a smiley face on my stupidly expensive clearblue digital (hoorah!) so can BD for England tonight. We actually did it the past two nights as well so we're going to be seriously over-covererd this month and if it doesn't work again I know it's nothing we did wrong timing-wise. I also have my first ever acupuncture session today which seems like it might be good timing, so will be asking her to help the egg on its way (if they can do such things).

GOod luck today rUnner and fingers crossed QQ

Thanks Sarah

I think acupunture + positive opk sounds really good!
Have a great BD:j

Good luck Runnerduck

Good luck Runner for today, can I asked have you had a 3 day transfer? Your eggs are doing well at 8 cells. I would have 2 put back in but thats me but at least you can freeze some.

It does drag but hang on in there, another 8-10 days to go
