Trying To Concieve

nottslass_2

OK Ladies,need to have a bit of a rant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so please feel free to ignore this post !

After nearly 3 years of TTC

I'm fed up with peeing on a Bl**dy stick!

Every other female of childbearing age is either pregnant or pushing a pram !!

I'm Bl**dy fed up driving myself to temporary insanity "symptom spotting" Evey month !!!

I'm sure that over the years I've taken enough folic Bl**dy acid to create a small mountain !!!

I'm (almost) fed up with BDing ,when I'd much rather be in bed reading a good book !!!

I Fed up with buying Tampax every month !!!!

And reminding OH to take his zinc (as if he dare forget !!!)

Oh well,at least I can look on the bright side,nobody has asked "are you having anymore (children) then ? recently !!! .


Ahhhhh, feel so much better now !!!!


Baby dust to you all X

Rant all you want, nottslass!!!! We all do the same time from time here and I think it helps (at least me) to know that it is not only me who gets fed up with all this!!!!!!

By the way have been having what is like AF cramping but only lightly since Monday-ish and still have it today (AF left about 1 week ago so not due at the mo) and wasn't sure if this might be ov related? Was v.hungry yesterday and ate tonnes of rubbish (crisps, biscuits, some lollies, whatever I could get my hands on in the house) then had half a fish supper with DH (then felt a bit sick due to pigginess!) and again am well hungry today (my cheese and marmite sarnies for lunch may need supplemented with a trip out to the shops for extra grub!). However I am like this every month, starving some days then not hungry at all on others, I just haven't ever tried to attribute it to anything cycle related, but I think it does effect your appetitie at different times?!?

Not sure about the cramping - I don't get that - I find I tend to get a big thick blob (tmi sorry) shortly after I have ovulated but that's really the only physical sign I get of ovulation I think and that is after the event I have had a regular 5 week cycle for a long time.
Re the hunger - yes I get that usually its the later part of my cycle after I have ovulated and progesterone takes hold - I think your cycle can affect your appetite but not sure how and when?
I've got cheese and marmite sarnies too for lunch today (kids wanted them for school so thought I'd have them too) - reckon I'm in danger of nibbling before lunchtime! :rotfl:

I am opposite - I feeling extremely full for the last few weeks (well, occasionally I do get hungry. For example, yesterday I had a yoghurt with dried fruit and 2 slices of fruit loaf for breakfast, a bowl of tomato soup with pitta bread for lunch and a bowl of minestrone supd with fresh breadrolls for dinner. I got up feeling so full this morning, that I was thinking to skip my breakfast. Well, I didn't, and now I feel stuffed!!!! Although, wouldn't mind a chocolate... Or maybe crisps?.... Oh, and get a horrible heartburn last night, after all the soups, I think! I actually feel like food might just come out through the top (sorry, TMI...)

Ooh, hope I haven't missed ov then?
I imagine everyone is different etc etc, but good to hear other people's comments

I seem to be getting cramping a lot of the time just now- really don't know what my body is up to, hopefully nothing it shouldn't be.

Had a scan of my bits earlier this year as was having some discomfort with sex and the lady said my ovaries looked consistent with someone having been on the pill and that I had a nice/healthy looking cervix so I reckon if anything looked wrong she would have said or my doctor would have said so therefore think that all should be ok down there. Will just have to be patient....mmm difficult!

Hi guys,

I am really confused with my body - again i hear you say!

I had spotting again last night, still at least a week away from AF due, so a bit odd.
Also my DH commented last night that i smellt really womanly? He thinks he notices this every month, not sure if this could be a sign of OV, female becomes more attractive at fertile time?

Well i have been feel sick from 10am to about 2pm each day, which is making work quite difficult. Then there is the headache that i can not shift. Oh well i am going to try and get lots of work done and relax on this issue.

Baby dust to all, and some of the sunshine that keeps peeking its face round the clouds outside my window

coz we got pregnant, although it ended in ectopic they said that we at least got pregnant and that is a plus (shows they've never been through one themselves) so its just getting to me xxx
p.s there's no need for silent tears were all here for a shoulder to lean on xxx

Hi Searching-me,

Do know what you are going through, and feel so much for you at the mo' - I found the Ectopic was worse than the 'natural' M/C as I felt so PG, and we had to have methotrexate injection to bring on the M/C, I just cried and cried - all though the night in hospital, I felt I was killing my babies - even though they clearly explained that ectopics wouldn't be viable and there is real danger to the mum if they let them carry on - I knew this in my head, but my heart yearned so much for my little angels, it took so so long and so much to concieve them....

I did take some comfort from them saying that at least it proved that I could become PG - but I guess if you already have a DD then you knew that anyway, so it was a bit daft to say it to you!!!

Be kind to yourself Hun - take some extra care and give yourself some treats & pampers.

All the best,

FE

I had that said to me too after both my mc's but in all honesty, for me, I'm not sure it helped.
I was chatting to a cousin yesterday who is younger than me, and her and hubby have recently found out that they won't be able to have kids together. She said she would feel worse in my position knowing that she could get pg but just that for one reason or another they don't stick.
She said at least in her position she hasn't had the heartache of a mc then the waiting to fall again. She said she can't miss what she hasn't had.

Thinking about the convo we had, she is right. I feel so very frustrated that a) I can get pg but they haven't stuck as yet
b) Why can't I get pg again?

The last 4 years have been a complete nightmare really. At least if we had been told 4 years ago we couldn't have kids we could have coped and got on with life. At the moment its a never ending circle of trying, hoping, waiting, wishing, disappointment, trying, hoping, waiting, wishing etc etc etc
its driving me mad!!


Having said that though the 6 weeks I was pregnant for both times is a precious memory.

Big Hugs to Searching me, FairyElephant and Shelly x

I feel for you all and all those that are having problems with concieving and pregnancy.
Life just doesn't seem fair sometimes but try to stay positive, I know it's hard x

I've had 2 miscarriages myself at 8 and 9 weeks (they were the missed type) so was unaware till I got to the 12 week scans but I have been lucky and have had two lovely children in between.

I really hope all those that have been in this situ or are having problems concieving have some good fortune soon - you really all sound like lovely people x
