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

Fingers crossed staffie its good news and AF is never coming. x

If the next person at works asks me if i am pregnant i think I may swing for them. Because I have been ill and just come back from honeymoon they think i'm pregnant, they know I am going through IVF so I kind of find it a bit insensitive, there is just no hope i could ever conceive naturally.

CCM - so sorry to hear your news. What terrible bad luck - you sound like you are being very strong and coping well. Best wishes for your wedding day and for some good news soon after x

Juju - people just dont know how hurtful it can be. I get really annoyed with people that flaunt their pregnancy on facebook with bump updates and every other comment being about their pregnancy. Oh and I'm bracing myself for an influx of christmas cards from x, y & bump....ARRRGGGHHH....I get it alright, you're fertile, I'm not, stop rubbing my nose in it :mad: !! Actually, who am I kidding, I'm turning into such a miserable git that no-one will send me any Christmas cards!!

Hi guys! Am still around and reading etc, but tbh it is all taking a back seat now. Hubby is going through a dire time at work and will probably be redundent soon - so any hope of paying for IVF is gone. Never mind, I think we knew that we werent going to try again and have quietly been comng to terms with it. Hey Ho.

Good Luck all who are injecting etc, Hope it all goes well - lilo

hi everyone

am going ever-so-slightly mad.. since June my cycles have been 26 days exactly. Ovulation on cd12, LP of 14 days. Easy! Today is cd28.. and my temps are still high. DH and I DTD on cd 11, but then he was away - I think I O'd late, on cd 13 or 14, (although my temps aren't clearcut, and FF hasn't given me any crosshairs) so I know I'm not late really, but my head is soooo busy with it all, and even though logically I know it's very very unlikely that we caught the egg, and that AF will arrive later or tomorrow, I just can't stop thinking about it
Here's my chart..
My Ovulation Chart

No symptoms apart from the usual pre-AF ones. Someone tell me to stop being silly please.

hugs to everyone, esp Lilo and chickpea

with a +opk on day 11 you would have probably oved on 12 or 13.... what are you waiting for? do a test woman for gods sake!

QQuaver

Onestep, your chart looks amazing!:j
Have you tested?

onestep

Ye, did one this morning. BFN. Ugh <insert swear word of choice>
I really hate it when you try not to get your hopes up, but then do, and then you get a negative test.
*sigh*. Oh well.
Hugs all

chickpea

Hi Onestep - Sorry for BFN. It's not over until it's over tho...it's so unpredictable, no wonder you got your hopes up - I think we all do, one way or another, every month!

I spent this morning squinting at a non-existant line (there really isn't a line, but your mind starts to draw one in, and it's hard to tell reality from fantasy..)

I'm 9dpo - expecting AF the day we do on holiday!

Runnerduck

sorry onestep, hugs x
there is still time yet chickpea, fingers crossed x

i think i'm hormonal and over reacting at the moment, mum rang to see if i'd give my nephew a haircut, then mentioned he has chicken pox, i have never had chicken pox, but had a test 6 years ago that showed immunity. we have ET next week and rationally i probably can't catch it, but i think i am panicing about everything at the moment.

Oh Runnerduck I know what you mean - I had to have the rubella jab for German measles, ready for IVF (urrgh, 9 years ago!) and you are not supposed to get pregnant within 3 months of having it, I was pregnant! I just didnt know - but everything was fine. BUT if you are unsure, go with your thoughts, cos my friend lost a baby at 6 months cos she contracted chicken pox. But I think, once the spots are out it is no longer contagious, and if you are immune, I am sure you will be fine.

Hello All! Thanks for the best wishes onestep. I am sorry your cycle is messed up - mine seems to do that a lot at the moment. I am having one every, ohh, 2 months at the mo. But, with all the stress, Sex is a rare occasion, so I know Im not pregnant!

Love to all - lilo
