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

Floaty

Oh Gelly, I'm so so sorry xxxx

Afm, it seems there was an anembryonic pg, which miscarried last weekend. Sadly there also seems to be an ongoing 'pregnancy of unknown location' that they can't find on a scan, believed to be ectopic. Betas have been 140, 148, 162, 195, 231... My bleedin luck. Going back to EPU tomorrow for an injection to resolve it. Then will need to wait for a couple of months before trying again, even naturally. This whole thing sucks.

Hope you're all well xxxx

Evening ladies, apologies for being AWOL for the last couple of weeks, had a lovely relaxing holiday, then back to the chaos of work.

Skaps, Floaty and Gelly, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, hope you and your OHs are all doing ok, look after each other xx

Tam and Choc, congratulations if you are still lurking, wishing you both a smooth 9 months xx

Hope everyone else is ok, seems like it's been quite quiet here recently, hope you are all enjoying summer.

AFM, well nothing really to report. Had a month(!) off the clomid, as we were going to be away at the crucial time, and have actually really enjoyed not having that pressure hanging over us. We have eaten too much rubbish, drank too much vino, and generally enjoyed each others company, more so than we have since I started clomid.

My cycle is still all over the place, I'm currently and 6.5 weeks since my last AF, but haven't bothered to do a test, I know it will be negative, and actually am ok about it, so why waste one?! When AF does eventually show her face, it'll be back on the lovely drugs one last time, and if that doesn't work, well then we all know where I'll be heading.....

Hugs to you all xxx

Has anyone else got the new forum view now? It's really hard to scroll down the thread on a phone without accidentally hitting the 'thanks' button - if I have randomly thanked your post I apologise! I'm not just being weird!

So I finally had my operation on Tuesday and as far as I know it all went well although the nurse told me the surgeon had removed some endometriosis which I didn't know I had so not sure what that means really - apparently the surgeon will write to me to explain the results in full but not had anything yet. Have been feeling pretty groggy since the procedure but seem to be on the mend now. Three more keyhole scars to add to the collection!

Hope everyone is doing ok x

I'm so sorry to hear your news floaty and gelly - it's completely crappy and utterly undeserved. Take care of yourselves xxx

Elephant - excellent news on the free FET! Hope it's all going well xx

Tam and chocoholic - Congratulations! Hope you both have a happy and healthy 9 months xx

Love and hugs to everyone else as well xxx


AFM - Somehow, strangely, tomorrow is 16 weeks. And it still seems unbelievable. Would anyone like to take over the running of the lists? I'll still be lurking and keeping all my bits crossed for all of you lovely ladies but if anyone would like to have a go, I'm happy to hand over the reins. (equally, if no-one fancies it, I'm happy to carry on updating them, until January at least )

I would offer to take them over Frozen but I'm scared I will mess them up, they look so technical! Happy to have a go if no-one else fancies it though. Nice to hear from you, glad you're doing well.
