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

Just seen it. You're quite right. No need. I already feel like a worthless, dried up barren creature without tv adverts reminding me.

^^^^ This is exactly how I felt when I saw it, I was really upset TBH. There is no need to be quite so smug about it, ggrrr to Johnson's. If I do get a baby, I'll not use their products!

Ooh newbies, I like it! Now let's hope we're all out of here by Christmas How bad is that new Johnson's baby advert?? No need!

A few years back Calpol ran an ad that said 'If you've got kids you'll understand' in such a smug, self-satisfied, aren't-we-all-lucky-to-be-part-of-the-parent-gang way that I vowed there and then never, ever to buy any Calpol or its associated evil twin Calprofen. And I never have. And never will.

Exactly! It's like when people say stupid things like "as a parent I was horrified to hear about ' insert child abuse case here'..." Because obviously as a non-parent I couldn't give a monkey's about neglected or abused children. Mothers starving their own children? Well, as I haven't give birth I assume that's completely ok.

Idiots.

Whilst we are all on our soapbox I will put my bit in!

I have just walked around town at lunch and it appears that EVERY woman has either got a baby or is v heavily pregnant. Everywhere I walked I was hit by it. The bit that really annoys me was the teenage mums with their baby's and cigarettes.

dont get me started on that one.

ETA: T2D, I really hope I didn't upset you. I'm sure you know I would never intend to!

Not upset in that way! Don't worry, I know you.

It's just the odd time a comment reminds you how near and how far away you are from your goal.

Whilst I've been off work I've seen loads of those child sponsorship ads and there's one with, I think, Fiona Phillips saying something like "As a mother..." which grinds my gears. Like you say, because I haven't given birth, I'm overjoyed to see suffering children. I couldn't possibly understand. If I decide to sponsor a child, it wont be through that agency.

And don't even get me started on those stupid facebook mom memes.

I wondered where everyone had gone over the weekend, totally failed to find the shiny new thread. Doh!
Things I hate (along with all of you at the moment) smug adverts; smug pregnant people; people who ask when I'm planning on having a child; Facebook both for baby updates and baby adverts (for goodness sake); stupid people.... the list could go on but I'd just upset myself.
I have my HSG on Wednesday and ultrasound on Thursday, hope it won't be a problem having them one after the other. And my asthma's bad. Just great.

*hugs* back to you. I'm still injecting and hope my little follie has grown tommorow will be 6 weeks tommorow of the injections.

SMA advert winds me up no end; smug & patronising. Not seen the Johnsons ad although I take comfort how terrible their products are and wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. And the phrase "you'll understand when you a mother..." should be consigned to deepest, darkest pit along with "relax & it'll happen" and "you should just adopt". :mad:

And breathe...

P.S. good luck this week cwtw and part mouse

Hi All,

Hope you're all well.

Can I ask a quick question for those that have had an HSG? I had mine on Wednesday morning and had a bit of cramping for a few days after. Nothing too bad. Last night I started getting relatively sharp pains in my left side. It's happening again this morning. In a way it feels like someone is pinching my insides sharply.

Did anyone else experience this? Not sure whether this is something to be expected.

Thanks

The sharp pains could be something else, normal pre-AF thingy?
I had HSG, and was crampy for few days after but that was about it.
