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

claretsgirl

Hello ladies.
I hope you don't mind if I join you. I have been TTC for 15 months now, managed to fall pregnant last August but unfortunately suffered a MMC just after the new year.
I was originally back on the TTC thread but I came off it as I was finding it all too stressful and now that I'm this far down the line I'm not sure that's where I belong anymore.
Anyhow, that's my little introduction. I hope to be able to read back and gain some more knowledge from you lovely ladies over here.
Love to all. X

Standard greeting claretsgirl: Come on in, you're very welcome, wish you hadn't found yourself here and that you don't have to stay long!

You'll find a group of lovely supportive friends who completely understand the journey you're on (I know it's a cliche but people who haven't been through it just can't!). Plus moments of light relief when you need it (*cough*T-rex*cough).

Ask all the questions you want. I know how completely overwhelming all the information is to start with.

Yay! i'm finally back online!! Sorry I have been away so long. stupid WIFI and laptop! as soon as one is fixed the other is broke.

Frozen - looks like we are cycle buddies again (double yay!) started with the tabs and have my scan on 12th


Claretsgirl, I second what pinkteapot said. Hope your stay here is short


Right I'm off to look at all these pics you are all talking about x

Guess who has a perfect little 10-cell top-grade embie on board?

Congratulations PTP. Keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

Ack cwtw, it's a double-edged sword methinks, getting to the end of Clomid. On one hand, pretty sh!tty that it hasn't worked, on the other hand, almost a relief that you're at the next stage and the medical specialists can take over. Huge hugs xxx

Hello claretsgirl :hello: Pink said it all perfectly! Feel free to ask anything you want and I hope you’re not on here for very long xx (also I’ve added you to the lists if that’s okay)

Definitely double yay GTS! My scan is on the 11th so we’re very close Are you doing a medicated FET or a natural one? I’m on Buserelin and Progynova at the moment – not a good combination! Far too much nausea, tiredness, bloatedness and just a general feeling of being uncomfortable xx

Loving the t-rex pic as well, that had me :rotfl:

Also, Team Wonderbra is it xx

Welcome claretsgirl!

Great to hear your FET is underway!

Code.. how can you watch that drivel?

I had a complete meltdown yesterday, thankfully I was working from home. I was so upset I walked about the house in tears and oddly started stripping, I think I thought I'd take a bath but honestly.. god knows what I was doing! !!!!! at work had been doing her usual and I think the drugs and lack of sleep tipped me over the limit!

pickle - in my defence its DH who watches it. I'll watch it if I'm home. It's got to the point where the dog reacts to the theme music because he knows he gets walked after.

Hope you're feeling better. Can you take a mental health day today?
