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

Ginvzt, best of luck for later - I keep getting told that not everybody finds it horribly emotionally crippling to take, ahem, so you might just be one of the lucky ones! Fingers crossed for you.

Think my CBFM is lying - it has been on a high since CD7. So maybe my hormones are all over the shop even without taking any medication! No wonder I'm a right grumpy cow at present...

Hello, Just wanted to say that I have been a long time lurker on MSE, I discovered this particular thread and have to say I've just read each and every post. I was moved to tears. I was lucky enough not to have any problems conceiving (I have 5 children). I took my fertility for granted. (am very ashamed now). Reading this has made me post. Would like to say I am humbled
and i do realise how privileged I am. Just wanted to say I hope you all achieve your hearts desire and I'm sending you huge clouds of baby dust. I honestly canot think of any people who deserve it more.
Love & Hugs. Debs xXx

Enjoy your BBQ leopardlady - that dream sounds really spooky! I can never understand how people didnt know they were pregnant, but I certainly wouldnt be giving it back!!

I've had 3 incredibly intense dreams about babies over the years - 2 were so real I woke up crying looking for my baby daughter? The 3rd dream wasn't quite so real, and that one was about a son.

I was pretty surprised to have a son instead of a daughter in real life though...lol.

fantasia, thanks very much for the good wishes.

LL & Lilo.....whenever I dream about having a baby I am never pregnant in my dream either. I just suddenly have this baby at home with me.
In one dream a man dropped a baby off at my house and I had to sign for it :rotfl:

Last night I dreamt my legs fell off because I had a flesh eating bug :eek: I think that came about because I saw a man on This Morning tv prog who had had the same bug.

Fantasia, thank you so much for your lovely post. It made me feel all warm inside...

Royal mail baby delivery, shelly? That made me laugh!!!

I did have a few dreams about babies, and I have been pregnant in one of them, I think... It makes me sad for the next day, as I know this is not going to come true any time soon (well, at least not for 9 months!!!)

Got my sewing machine today, so have been playing with it all evening and now made to organza gift bags for my friend's birthday this weekend (olive tree, olive oil, possible some olives in a jar, still looking for some shower gel with olive oil and olive soap).

Hi ladies

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, been a bit navel-gazing and feeling sorry for myself!

Goodluck Ginvzt! I found that if I took them in the evening I slept through most of the symptoms, so its a good plan!

Had a bit of a moment in work on Monday. I got in the lift with collegue (who knows nothing about me TTC) and she stared at my stomach and than patted it saying "Oh my God are you...? I nearly burst into tears. It's still swollen, but it has gone down considerably. So cruel the side effects of IVF.

Onwards and upwards! Had such a non-MSE day its untrue! Dropped OH at airport, as it was rush hour I didn't fancy getting stuck in the cross city traffic, so I went out for tea...really nice American dinner, felt so indulgent. I have Dutch guests arriving tomorrow and I couldn't be bothered washing & ironing the bedding etc, so I bought a new set and a towel bale on the way home! Lazy and extravegant!

Sitting here with a Tia Maria coffee with cream...I'm going to hell in a hand-cart, my first drink since, and I'm on my own!

I know, it was very weird. If only it was as simple as that :rotfl:
