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

Part_Mouse

Huge congrats sewit, so pleased for you xx

frozenpenguin

Yay, yay and triple yay SewIt! (aka one of my lovely February cycle buddies!) :j :j :j Fabulous news, enjoy every minute of it! xxx

Congratulations claretsgirl! Sounds like a lovely proposal and yep, definitely something else to think about as well xx

bigmomma - that's pretty carpy and don't apologise for having a rant, that's what we're all here for xx

So sorry pickle and good vibes - sending lots of huge hugs your way and virtual chocolate (not that either of them will help much I know) xxx

Fairy - I don't know whether you're reading or not but I have taken you off the 'cycles ongoing' bit - I'm guessing the result wasn't what you (or any of us here) wanted for you. I really wish I was moving you to the 'graduates' section, lots of love and hugs to you xxx


AFM - I've taught myself how to knit and I've read some books and I've watched some old TV programmes on 4od and I've still got 2 weeks to go til I get the plaster cast off! Well, that is if it's all healed okay.

It occurred to me the other day as well - I can't restart the medicated FET for 6 months (because my ankle won't be able to hold the weight of a baby) so assuming the FET actually works (which is a long shot) if you add up all the time from when we started TTC to actually giving birth, it'll be just over 4 years :eek:

Trying not to dwell on that though and I know it's absolutely nothing compared to what some people have to wait.


Hugs, t-rexes and virtual chocolate to you all xxx
