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

pinkteapot

mrsvicx - firstly, huge congratulations! You've given me hope as we're three years unexplained and trying desperately to get a BFP before IVF in July (I'm scared of it!!).

Secondly, could you just scale the plans back and go to Eurodisney for a long weekend? You can even do that by train or coach if you don't want to fly while pg. I'm a big child and I loved it there. :rotfl:

Im not sure wether to ring fs, im really crampy and bleeding lots but this is our 3rd cycle of injections and 3rd time its happened so I suspect she wil just say its just what happens to me.

mrsvicx

Aw PM, I cant really offer any advice, but if it will make you feel better, then perhaps just phone for your own peace of mind?

Pinkteapot - Eurodisney is awesome, DH and I went before DS was born and I did have a sneaky look to see how much different the price would be, but its so expensive (and I know from experience that its expensive when you get there too!) I think we will probably take DS for a few days in Blackpool, we went for the day last year and he loved it, so hopefully that will help soften the blow! Im really dreading telling him, but we have decided to say nothing until after the 12 weeks, just incase anything happens.

I think im unsure about calling as i know each time she just says very little and will prob up the dose again on turs anyway. I just wish the bleeding would stop and we could have a normal cycle for once.

mrsvicx - feel free to lurk for as long as you like! xx


PM - Huge hugs to you (afm as well, I've never even got to the stage of needing to buy a digi!) xx


pink - I was scared of IVF before our first cycle. I remember coming home from our initial appointment and just being in shock for about 6 weeks, with the phrase "f*cking hell" constantly running through my head. The only advice I have (and I know it's a cliche) is that it really isn't as bad as you'll imagine it to be. Somewhere, somehow (and who knows where from) you really will find amazing reserves of strength and emotion. xx


AFM - One grade 4AB (which apparently is very good) blasto on board :cool: and even more amazingly, one equally good frostie! :j

Fp congrats con being pupo and having a frostie.

I'm having another early night, really headachy and tired.

vesper

Can not believe it been searching for over 6 months for my cbfm and just found it in a cardigan pocket. Now to decide whether to start using it again or not.
Ha watching a very funny conversation as its happening on facebook with an extended set of grandparents (new marriages) trying to out do each other with gushing compliments on a picture of their grandkids.

cwtw

Congratulations frozen everything crossed for you.

pm hope you're feeling a bit better today.

A cardigan seems a safe place to keep your cbfm vesper!

Part_Mouse

Cwtw thanks,not really feeling any better.
