Trying for a Baby Part 9

fannyanna

Morning all.

I’ve been feeling a bit funny about TTC lately. I’m questioning whether it’s worth it and whether I can handle it. I feel like I’ve not lived my life for the past two years. I put things on hold because I might be pregnant. But on the other hand I really don’t think I’ll ever end up pregnant and I’m not sure I’m strong enough to deal with the day that I need to give up and move on.

I look at some of the sh*t that some of you lovely ladies have had to go through and even I find it soul destroying. I can’t imagine what it’s like to actually go through it.

Found out this morning that my GP is referring me to the fertility clinic. I know that sounds like a positive step and I should be happy but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s pointless. Even my GP has said that they probably won’t do anything and will just tell me to carry on losing weight.

What a moaning minnnie I am.

Anyway, on to you lovely ladies……..

Birdie85 – enjoy your break with your OH. AF is bad timing but I’m sure you’ll still have a great time.

chocoholic_chick – hugs for CD1 and feeling hopeless about the TTC journey. Hope you’re feeling a bit better now.

becca0417 – thanks for doing the lists for us all.

faithhope – I like your OH’s theory about it working if you do it during the day. Did he also say you should do it twice every day lol?

emmaj30 – good luck with the tests.

claire16c – I think I am out ovulation wise this month. I saw from the OPK’s that my LH levels were rising but they never peaked and now they’re gone. Also I used 20 sticks with the CBFM and the last one went back to low fertility. Hope your blood test results come back positively.

alice31 – glad AF has left the building. It can get quite annoying when she hangs around too long.

time2deal – thank you for your post to me the other day. It just screamed of positivity. With regards to the vits and SA I have no idea but I remember reading in the news about a month ago that studies have shown that vits are very important when TTC.

tinkwings – happy belated birthday. Hope the tattoo is healing well.

lilymay1 – many congratulations on your BFP. Sending lots of sticky dust your way x

beautybutterfly – Hope it’s not AF on the way.

catloverbex – enjoy playing with your new toy (CBFM) and I’d also sulk at your OH.

sophiasmum – hope your knees are feeling better now.

jammy26 – yeah for the peak.

kalama – welcome to the board and good luck, eeek with regards to the coil and congrats on the heart lol.

codemonkey – hope you’re feeling better now.

picklekin – pizza is great for those times when you don’t feel so great. Hope you enjoyed it.

angeltreats – good luck with the revision and well done for joining WW again. You’ll lose that weight again in no time.

teaandcakeordeath – no, you’re not allowed to sit in doom x

ejecoms – you’re OH is very wise. I think we can all empathise with the feeling of not living our lives because of TTC at some point.

Teamlowe – good luck with the viewing

mincepiemonster – sending you big hugs. That email! Grrrr

cwtw – loving that fertility tip lol.

Tashatutuw – sorry for AF

Bambisbelle – sending you lots of hugs x

Sorry if I missed anyone!

beautybutterfly

Still no AF but a BFN this morning, why can't my body just be simple :-( never had a period this late before and if I haven't ov'd why can't my ovaries just hurry up and do so!!!!! So fed up and frustrated :-(

Catloverbex - Oh dear, you just knew your OH might not have everything sorted. I hope you've been right on the phone this morning and booked his appointment so he can't delay any more. I think men in general are just crap at organising themselves……..

Time2deal - meant to say hubby's vitmain is a combined zinc and vit c tablet so 60 for just over a quid is not for each type of vitamin. Think they're about 1.14 or something…..

Purcy - yes, we love to talk, just to give you extra to read back over

Firefly - I've not come across macca root, but I'm glad it seems to be helping to 'shake up the panda' :rotfl: Hopefully the SA results will be great too.
Thanks for doing the list too, you're right about us all having a go. I'll certainly try at some point so I know how to do it. And I do like to read ths lists, seeing where I am and where other people are.......

Angeltreats - Well done on going back to WW. It's not easy to go through the door again. Hope you have a good first week to get you on track. I lost another 2.5lbs this week so only 1 more teeny lb to my 4 stone. Really hope to hit that on Monday. I've still got plenty more to lose though
Hope the cramming isn't too stressful for your exam in 2 weeks. I hate exams, so I don't envy you

TCD - Your own list How about 'May the Force be with you' or 'TLC zone'. You know, how the baby gets here is unimportant. If you need the help, and it's on the way, that can only be a good thing and a relief that the help is coming. I'm sure that there'll be no public weighing at your appointment next week. Just cut the snacks and relax for the the week. The more you panic, the more you'll want to eat

Ejecoms - Your hubby is the best. What star driving back to DTD for OV when he's supposed to be away from home for a few days. Hope you're planning a special treat or something for him. He's a keeper…….!

Thriftylass - I'm getting spots around OV, last months was really really bad too. It really doesn't help does it?

Team Lowe - Honestly, I'm really allergic to pain! :rotfl: Just thinking about a tattoo makes the hair on my neck stand up in fear! Oh, 'dept of mysteries'. I like that….. Hope you get the mortgage stuff sorted. Nowt's ever simple……

Chocoholic_chick - Sorry for CD2. Bring on the choccies!

Mrs TM - Those bunnies are soooo cute!

Mincepie - Pity parties are ok, but have a maximum 12 hours allowance and the we kick your butt, :rotfl: Glad you're feeling better now

Cwtw - Love the tip and that it's numbered 992 :rotfl:

Tashatutuw - Hope the day passes quickly for you. 3 words - candy crush saga

Bambisbelle - That's rubbish about the fine. Men don't listen…… I don't know the attack you you referred to, but I sure hope you're ok and that your OH is home for you when you need him

Elsie - Hope you're well. Also hope OV happens before your OH is away on Friday. Hope you've suitably filled your weekend with anything but housework!

Goppers - Glad OV finally seems on the horizon, and this is exactly why we spend our pennies on sticks! Well, I don't, lol. Ok, a guessing game - what will you be up to tonight seeing as you're about to OV. Clean the bathroom, go to the cinema, have a girls night out

Faithhope - kajungas!! :T Oooooo - 'performance targets' now there's an idea…… :rotfl:

Fannyanna - You know you wants kids more than anything and getting help from the fertility specialist will help reach that goal. I know it must seem scary but you need to take this journey and you need to get the child that deserves to be in your life. Don't give up hope. Grab the opportunity with both hands and don't let go……… Oh, and I love your epic post

So, AF started lightly last night. I got to 13dpo though and my lp is usually 7 days so the vit b must be making a difference. I hope so anyway. We'll see what happens next month (list maker guru, please update me to today CD2. Thank you)

For those of you who upgraded your FF account, could I ask if it's worth it? Someone mentioned getting a year for 16 quid-ish, but it looks more on mine. Did you get a special offer? Think I might upgrade if I can get it less than 20 quid.

Hope that you all have a good day. Go outside and soak up some sun if you have any

Wow wish all our DHs were that keen and on board :rotfl:

Thought I was all clued up about temp and OV only to find out now that the temp only rises 1-2 days after OV. So I probably OV around day 12 instead of 14. Which is good news for this month if we get another or two BD in before the weekend when we go and stay with friends.

Yeah he wants to get on board a bit too much :rotfl:
I haven't tried temping but hope it works this month for you.

Fannyanna - Yeah with my DH it's once during the day then again at night. It's advised sometimes to not do it too much but for us it has worked doing that - we've been pregnant a few times, unfortunately had mcs as well as our DD. You're not a moaning minnie -it's a hard journey you're on. Try not to think too far into the future. I think concentrating on month to month can keep you sane or send you insane :cool: hmmm no easy approach to this except remember to be kind to yourself xx

Hello, wow there are a lot of posts on this thread a lot busier than waiting to TTC.

Bit of an update had last AF end of March and came off pill at the end of Jan, also had AF end of Feb. OH and I have started to NTNP and have started BD this week, although yesterday starting spotting so though AF had arrived but not sure today. Did everyone start charting their OV straight away or wait a few months?

becca0417

Will update later twigpig, love list guru haha.

I upgraded my FF think it was about £11 for 3 months. Not sure if its worth it yet but it has highlighted possible ov days for this cycle will let you know how I get on with it

Welcome blondy I started opks on the first month and only started temping two months ago (after 13 months ttc)
Let me know if you want adding to the list/front page x

wow some epic posts there ladies!

Just had the call from clearblue, theyre sending out the pack today for the trial. good to hear there is no urine storing required! Just the one lot to send off at the end of the cycle when you do the pg test.

sat in a lovely sunny office at work, and all I want to do is go home and get stuck into some gardening! We've only been in our house since late last summer, so it need s bit of taming! Fingers crossed for a lovely uk summer.

good luck with the house hunting, such a stressful time dealing with stupid estate agents (well ours were anyway!) and mortgages. I felt like camping out at our bank after the amount of c*ckups they did.:rotfl:

bigs hugs for those of you feeling down in the dumps. Do something to treat yourself today, you all deserve it.

Hi Becca thanks for your post, yes would love to be added to the list if poss.

Does everyone use the same OPK or not? Sorry this is all new and feel a bit out of my depth at the mo, have longed for own children but not been in right relationships in the past, thankfully have husband now although sometimes hard as he has children from previous relationship and doesn't have the same desire as me probably due to already having children and being a guy (sorry no offence!) Nice that we have had a long talk about it over the weekend and decided to not wait and just go for it and see what happens on our journey. I appreciate that it can take a long time, just have to wait and see. It is good to read other people's stories and inspirations. Thanks

CD1 for me please.

I just returned from seeing family in Sweden. Two of them were pregnant and they were BD 3/4 times a day!!! They said it was the new advice and that once every 2-3 days was old news. I don't know if either me or hubbie have the stamina for that!
