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

Primmer

Frozen - so glad scan showed all was ok x

Elephant - congrats on being PUPO, really hope time doesn't drag too much for you and try not to worry about cramps as all normal, though I realise it's hard not to worry, try to relax as much as poss. Fingers crossed for you.

Glad all was ok Frozen, and a little flutter too, how exciting!

Nothing exciting to report here, just feeling a little disheartened tbh. Need to lose a few more lb before going back to the clinic but it's just not happening. We are off this week, done some jobs and are going to the family caravan in North Wales for a few days tomorrow. Hopefully a bit of seaside air will give us a refresh, really looking forward to the break. First holiday with the pup, so really looking forward to getting her on the beach and seeing her run around, it's really sad how much we love our furry baby!

Ladies, just want to bring something to your attention as a friend told me about it. Not sure if we'll have to go down the IVF route yet as we seem to be slipping through the cracks in the NHS with our recurrent miscarriages.

There's a free seminar taking place in Milton Keynes on Saturday 27th June with Care Fertility. Agenda is:

9.45 Arrival, tea/coffee, Registration
10.00 Judith Byrne, Unit Manager - Welcome
10.05 - 10.45 Rahnuma Kazem, Medical Director - Fertility Assessment and common causes of infertility; Patient pathway; Treatment options
10.45 - 11.15 Lynne Nice, Lab manager - Male fertility awareness
11.15 - 11.30 Break (with tea/coffee and pastries)
11.30 - 11.50 Lynne Nice, Lab Manager - Maximising your chance of success in an IVF cycle including choosing the best embryo with time lapse
11.50 - 12.15 Judith Byrne, Unit Manager - Moving forward - an outline of some options - How to become a CARE patient; Egg Sharing; Sperm Sharing; NHS Funding
12.15 Individual one to one sessions. If you would like to speak to any of the CARE team, we are holding a series of one to one sessions

We've signed up to go along to find out more but just in case anybody is interested, I thought I'd let you all know.

I'll now go back to lurking and wishing you all lots of love and luck

Hallelujah, AF is here! Never thought I would be so pleased to see her! And she's making up for it cos boy have I got cramping pains! But never mind, at least we can enjoy ourselves for a few weeks with no drugs in my system. Roll on holiday!

Elephant, hope the 2ww isnt dragging too much, keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

Hope everyone else is ok and finally enjoying some sun xx

Gelly123

Ladies,

I'm going to love you and leave you again - we got our fourth BFP this morning but having lost all of them so far, we're not sure how long our journey is going to last.

Wishing you all lots of love and luck for the future.

Laura 2ww is very much draggin and I've been a font of all sorts of emotions and worries in the last week. But apparently all natural. 1 week down 1 to go. Kinda nervous cause it means this time next week we will know if it has or hasn't worked, to which I don't know if I want to know just in case it hasn't worked. Living in cloud PUPO is going to feel better than a negative result. But as my DH keeps reminding me there is just as much chance of a positive as a negative!! Glad AF has turned up for you too :-) even if it has brought some horrible cramps too. Xxx

gelly everything crossed for you and wishing you all the luck in the world xxx
