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

tea_lover

CD2, feeling a bit (ok, a lot) sorry for myself. I know nothing's likely to happen as there's about 2 sperm in there and they're an odd shape anyway lol. Just frustrated that clomid is making me ovulate even later than I did before - what's the point of it then??

Roll on the next FS appt (28th nov). I think we've definitely exhausted this plan and I'm very ready for the next one.

Fluffnutter as always you're very informative and helpful, I just wish you wouldn't call it a mooer lol

Chickpea she's an !!!! an a half! Do they know you're struggling?

2 months down, 4 to go til clomid...

TL - it was a little rough. Christmas will be worse - she'll be nearly due then.

They do know about our infertility - we told them, when they asked if they could join us on our last holiday (I didn't want to spend our 'consolation-prize-coz-the-fertility-treatment-didn't-work-holiday with a pg, funnily enough!)

In the last 2 years, we have spent 6k on fertility treatment that didn't work and 6k on holidays to console ourselves. And I wonder where our money goes!!!

Thing is, unless you have experienced infertility, you just don't know. And most pg women just seem to automatically think the world revolves around them anyway. Sorry that's just bitterness now. She's actually not that bad - the bump rubbing/caressing (even just clasping her hands on it bugged me tbh) is just something a lot of pgs so without even probably realising.)

Feeling better now anyway - we went out to a v. posh restaurant for dinner last night. We had chateaubriand served rare with homemade Bearnaise sauce and hot salty chips, washed down with a bottle of Argentinian Malbec - pretty much my death row meal of choice!

Have a good week!

Mmm I could almost taste that meal just reading it! Hope it helped chickpea

Hope you're feeling a little brighter one step?

Tea lover, I'd be frustrated too! Is it worth a call to the FS secretary?

T2D is it worth asking your gp, in the meantime, about implications of low AMH?


Can't remember anything else to reply to!


I have the FS appointment tomorrow for The Plan. I'm daunted.

Ditto BZ. We all need a plan!

It's the next step in your journey.:)

Good luck today BigZ, might be daunting but the prospect of an actual tailor-made, exactly what you and hubby need to do plan must be exciting! Plans are great and help us co-ordinate our lives.
what? i'm not a control freak....

bigzippy

Thanks guys you made me laugh then TL!

I think I worry that I'll agree to something in the appt, and then either change my mind after, or forget to ask something vital during the appt and then not get to see them again for another 6 months or whatever it's not like the gp where you can just make another appt :cool:

I think the stitch on my belly button wound dissolved prematurely so it's not healing quite right :cool: the other two are doing well but don't want to give up their stitches

Dh woke me up (and reminded my bladder it was full!) when he kissed me goodbye, and once I realised he'd be back this afternoon, my brain worked out why, so couldn't get back to sleep for thinking about it all. :cool: Which is annoying cos I just feel permanently sick and would rather be asleep!

BZ - Good luck with appointment at fs, hope you get a positive plan of action.
