The one year mark sucks

Hear that sister! Hopefully you won't be on here much longer.

I was thinking last night about a concert I'm going to in May and wondering if I'll be PG for it... then realised that I'd had the same conversation with myself about going to see the same band, in the same venue, in the same month last year! :eek: I never thought back then that I'd still be in the same position a year later!

Morning ladies!

Team Lowe - Good luck for your appointment today

tc39 - Please AF hasn't shown her ugly head yet, crossing my fingers she'll stay away for you

birdie - I know what you mean! Sometimes you're just not in the mood and feeling crappy really doesn't help. Hope you're back on track before you 'have' to BD and that you're OH doesn't catch whatever you've had.....

cwtw - It's so hard isn't it. There's so many people who just think that you just decide when to have a baby and pop, 9 months later, here it is. If only it was that simple..... Is it mean of me to wish that everyone struggled for at least a month or two so people would be more sensitive?! Of course, if I could make everyone fall pregnant at the drop of a hat, I'd choose that, as it's rubbish that anyone has to go through this...... ((hugs))

becca - I have a friend who tried for 6 years and finally had her little boy last year....... sending extra fairy dust your way

A busy day at work for me today, although I really just want to curl in front of the tv with tea and biccies. Ok, maybe no biccies as I need to stick to my diet. Anyone here following Slimming World?

I started ttc in June 2011 and I remember thinking ooh I could have a bump by xmas. Nope.

Then we stopped ttc for a while in early 2012 but then started again in the summer, I got pregnant and I thought yay Ill have a small bump by xmas. Nope had the miscarriage the week before so although I had a small bump it was not a happy one.

Now Im thinking hmm i could possibly even have a baby by this Christmas, but unlikely now as Ill have to get pregnant this month in order for that to happen, so now Ill be hoping for a bump again. For the 3rd time!!!

So whilst its not been 3 years or anything, its just starting to feel like it!

DH wants to do SMEP this month, not specifically the name, but he said last night lets bd every other day then ramp it up when you think its the right time. We were going to start Friday but were at a wedding Sat so dont want the uh 'afters' coming out then, so I said lets start Sunday because we go to the pub on a Monday night with friends so are often too tired then. So we havent even started it yet and already put it off 2 days lol

Good luck TeamLowe - hope everything goes well for you.

AFM, now on CD27 and low on the CBFM - not even a sniff of a peak to show I'm ovulating. I'm now 2 weeks late with AF - POAS but a BFN so I'm now starting to get really peeved with my body - I didn't much like it before but now, I'm positively starting to hate it!

Have got an appt with the GP tomorrow pm to discuss the results of my ultra and internal scans two weeks ago and I know she's going to ask when my last period was, the fact that it's late - had I done a test etc, but am feeling so down today, I could amost cry ;o(

I do wish that when you're young and naive, that they truly explain to you how much the pill / injection messes up your system - have been trying now for 5 months, not that long in the grand scheme of things but it's just so frustrating when people sneeze and wham, they're pg.

Sorry ladies, think the weather has also got a grip on me but it's making me downright miserable today.

Hugs to you all - I'm off to hug a tree ;o)

Hope the test results are okay Gelly. I've been trying 5 months too, but don't despair, it hasn't been long for us at all. It's not easy to be patient but we have to try to find some nice distractions and enjoy all that BD.

just a quick note to say appointment was horrible

after saying (and she acknowledges she said it) that if we weren't pregnant by now they'd perscribe clomid, they don't actually perscribe clomid there because they won't do follicle tracking. so i've been referred to a fertility specialist.

so so fustrated and upset, at the time i nearly didn't come in to work as i couldn't keep it together. they said they wouldn't consider clomid for me from them because when i had my pregesterone tested it was at a good level (that's before my cycles went nuts again) so they think i'm at too much of a risk of OHSS.

so the intervention i know i need and has every chance of working has once again been snatched away from me . they've no idea of waiting lists and they won't even send the referral letter to the fs for a week :eek:
even better the fs will be at a merseyside teaching hospital and i said well i live in pie eater land*, can you not refer me to an fs there? and they said no, cos then you'd have to go to your gp to get a referral and get all the tests done again!

spoke to DH and we've agreed to take a break from actively trying. I'm just so so sick of everything being out of my control and getting myself worked up about doctors appointments.

SO the plan going forward (we all know i love a good plan) is that we'll stop actively trying and go to NTNP until i turn 27, when we'll go private. if the nhs fs referral comes through before then then great but i'm not going to desperate for it.
In the meantime efforts for diet and exercise will be redoubled as i won't have the excuse of worrying about messing up ovulation or whatever.

don't breath a sigh of relief though girls, i'm too emotionally involved in the ttc of internet strangers to leave the thread

it's so oddly liberating and relaxing to feel like i'm in control of my journey for once, not living or dying by a doctor's word.

although i do secretly hope i'll be that cliche of 'well such and such stopped trying and now they have 16'

*a nod towards BigZ's privacy concerns

Oh TL I'm so sorry to hear that I hope they pull your finger out & you get a very quick appointment love to you xx
