BZ - thanks for that. I'm sure there must be others with both (somewhere... maybe!) just sometimes feel like there's so much wrong that I may as well admit defeat now.

I'm sure there are too. I haven't had anything confirmed, but it is a concern of mine. Are you under a consultant for it? How has it been managed up til now? The PCOS in and of itself isn't insurmountable - many ladies have it and don't even know about it, conceiving now (I forget the statistics now). I can't remember how old you are, how long you've been trying, how long ago you were on contraception (I'm assuming you were put on medication to stop your cycles to minimise the endo?), or anything like that Are there any factors that may exacerbate it, excess sugar intake, excess weight, etc that you could do something about that would make you feel a bit more in control? Are you on metformin?


I'm generally quiet at the minute guys. Spent last night at the hospital with MIL again, and now there's talk of whether an amputation may be on the cards... it's a lot to get our heads around.

:wave: to all

Thank you for all your kind words ladies.

I am still reading everyday and have been sad that there are so many of you wonderful fabulous ladies who are struggling. I'm sending so many beanie vibes to all of you. You are the nicest bunch of ladies I've ever "met" and I'm wishing each and everyone of you get your forever babies really really soon

Love to you all

Hi everyone

Sorry for the late reply but I was working the weekend and it was manic. CBFM is still showing high but I'm just going to go with it.

QQ - I didn't even realise there was a non shiny side, or any lines! There were 2 faint lines this morning and yesterday.

bigzippy - I think you're right and I need to use the time to get to know my body's signs. I was obsessed with my CM in the first month of TTC but since I got the monitor I've been a bit lax. I haven't noticed any CM for ages though.

Kavics - thanks for your post, it really reassured me! Luckily I have a brand new box of 20 test sticks as it looks like I'm going to use all of them.

Anyway, thank you all for replying. It's lovely to have people I can ask for advice. My OH is amazing but worries about me getting too stressed. It's hard not to though isn't it?

Lovely news Emsbet.
Hope everyone is ok.

My husband (on the way home from a relatively stressful hospital visit!) was telling me - out of the blue - how he really really wants a baby, he's gutted it's not happening, he's terrified of being too old and not being around to see his kids living their lives (bearing in mind his mum is basically dying and is only mid 60s) - said it stops him sleeping, he thinks about it all the time, it's getting him down and stressing him out.

What am I supposed to say to that? :huh: I can totally relate...but that doesn't help the matter!

On the one hand it's really sweet that he wants this baby so much (I knew it anyway, he'll make a brilliant dad, but it's nice to be confirmed). On the other, it tears me apart that I can't soothe him or make it better by being more fertile

sending you big hugs bigzippy, ive had that conversation before and there isnt really much you can say back when it sounds like you are thinking the exact thing.

ive had family members ill and wished and hoped i'd get pregnant or the pregnancy would last before they went so they could see the new addition but sadly it didnt happen for me and no amount of wishing would conjur up a baby.

but i think you should maybe hold him and tell him you know where hes coming from, you have thought the same things, you have each other and both of you together will make it happen one way or another, just let him know if he needs to talk your there, that sort of thing.

im terrible for staying up and thinking as soon as that light goes out it feels like my brain switches on and especially if my oh is sleeping it does seem really lonely.

Especially whats happening with your oh's mum at the moment as well, but aslo dont put lots of strain on yourself in the ttc world, its more important you and oh have each other at the moment, the rest can follow.
