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

TeamLowe

BigZ so sorry to hear your news, hope it's operable but you must be so worried right now

Big hugs to those who's due dates for angels are around now, it hurts so much more when you think you're still trying and are no closer I thought I'd definitely be pregnant by mine, then by six months later when it was my birthday
...
Think I was saying on the other thread, and I know I'm nowhere near as far along in my journey as some of ou lovely ladies, but I'm starting think of getting pregnant as something that happens to other people, at least managing it naturally x x

BZ ((hugs)) this is a diversion in your journey, that's all.. You are mourning for all that lost time, of course, & that's only natural. Give yourself some time, for you & DH. Sending positive thoughts & prayers your way

QQuaver

BZ, (((hugs))). Now that we know what was wrong, it will be fixed, and you will get your forever baby very soon:o

TeamLowe, I feel the same way, it feels like pregnancy is something that'll happen to someone else not me.

Wish at least one of my siblings will get pg and produce a grandchild for my parents:(

Team lowe, I feel the same. I feel like conception is just some urban myth atm. I actually think I'd have more chance getting a baby from a cabbage patch or from the stork these days

One step, I think you're spot on there. I need to mourn the lost time.
ETA: I just told DH what you said, and he said it was a really good way of putting it, thanks

How's everyone doing? You've all been a little quiet... :huh:

How's the meds Primmer? ETO? Another one I'm forgetting...? (sorry!)

QQ, how you feeling now with TTC/IVF pressure relieved for a bit?

Onestep, have you recovered from chicken pox now?

Sorry, I can't remember anything else You'll all have to chat more then I'll remember more


AFM, I'm suffering today. I decided I couldn't handle heavy AF on top of recovering from the HSG, so I kept taking the progesterone til saturday night. AF's kicked in in style today, and I'm doubled over, in so much pain it making me heave Think I might just have to get goofy on prescription strength painkillers I'm gonna ask the GP on thurs about maybe going back on the progesterone/something to keep the bleeding to a more reasonable level/length. I just don't see the point of going through it when there's no chance of getting pg til I've at least had the tubes looked at. I want to ask him a few questions about the tubes thing too, get something to work with. Waiting to see the FS seems like a lifetime atm... :cool: I'm not expecting to have the (presumed) lap done before Christmas though, what with NHS waiting lists... it kinda feels like life's slipping away waiting and waiting and waiting to see, and then waiting some more.

I look at kids that were tried for after we started/conceived/birthed/are approaching birthdays, and it makes me sad how old they're likely to be before I even get the chance to get pg/have a 12wk scan/give birth/get through an adoption/fostering process...:cool:

BZ - hugs for painful af that's nasty. It is understandable that you still feeling down about results as you had a plan sorted out and now that plan has changed.

Treatment is ok but harder physically than I thought it would be. On my second week of sniffing to down regulate and getting so bloated i have gone up a dress size and af was delayed and then extra painful as a result of the medication. Still it will all be worth it if it works - fingers tightly crossed!

Hope you're not in too much pain/discomfort

Hi BZ

Chicken pox mostly gone, I'm still spotty but they're all scabby now (nice!). I'm still weak & feeble though. Get tired very quickly. CD 4 for me.
I'm so sorry AF is so awful. What are the implications/possibilities of paying for a lap privately? (& therefore more quickly) Would that impact on subsequent nhs treatment? I've no idea but might be worth considering maybe?

Primmer, I've got everything crossed that this is the cycle for you

I don't know, tbh. I'll ask my gp when I see him, but considering how much of a tailspin dh (and I) is in, I'm not sure adding in questions about where to go and who to choose etc is gong to be any less stressful than waiting... I'll discuss it when I find out wait times though...:think:

Make sure you rest properly. Nasty stuff in adults, chicken pox :cool:

BFN at 11dp3dtransfer.
So that's round 9 a failure also.
Hope you all have better luck than me.
BZ hope they can do your op ASAP, it must have been a shock band I really hope they can fix it ASAP.

Thinking of you on this journey Primmer, it isn't fun but hoping the result is the right one for you.
I know I haven't posted much lately, I'm sorry everyone
