TTC for 12 months +

Today someone in our training group came to post run coffee with her baby I hadn't met yet and I held him till he fell asleep then burst into tears when my man came and told me I would be a good mama one day. Then I kept trying to stop crying because my shoulders were shaking and I didn't want to wake him up. All this happened in a very public cafe in town.
I have been feeling pretty down, but next week will be going to FA and hopefully that will make me feel more optimistic.
It's crap to have had no AF. I stressed because this morning and really depressed and hate not running as much but after holding that little one I came home and was determined to keep doing what I need to do to get the eggs going.
If there are people in here trying to lose/gain weight or do other things to try help conceive can we post more to help? I am finding it really hard to look after myself at the moment and could use people to be accountable to and talk with.

heavenly.talker that was lovely and so so true 

I miss you being in here NZVeggie, but I am really glad that you have graduated. I can't wait to see pics of your beautiful long awaited bubba :-) Wahoo.

Charlie I hope the time-lapse thing helps. Our 3 eggs were frozen after being fertilised instead of growing them on, I think because they already knew they were going to delay transfer. So we'll have no idea until mid-Jan whether we'll have any worth transferring.

I'm feeling much better, bloating etc has gone so I could finally fit pants again yesterday lol. It did make me think I could do with getting some more exercise again. I was running regularly for a while but had a cold and then was really busy at work, then starting IVF which made me feel really tired so it's been a couple of months. I'll have to do something over the Christmas/NY break to counter all that festive food!

Soda: Yah!! It is exciting to be seeing someone soon. Then you can have a plan and it is much better than waiting till after the holidays
Re: Overtraining. Incidentally I have just had a niggle in my achilles so I am forced to slow down now. Usually this would make me stress out but now I am just thinking, whatever I can do to get a BFP I don't mind. I think that is the best place to be in.
I felt considerably cheered up by noon Saturday. Yesterday we looked at sperm donor profiles on coparent.com and that was highly entertaining. One person said "I want to be a sperm donor, I have very strong sperm" and that was the extent of his profile.

Happy Monday everyone

Yay soda you'll be stoked. Pretty short notice though huh.

Agirl hope that spotting stops soon hun.

Bambeana - glad you got a giggle out of the profiles you were looking at.

Lining scan today was better so all go for Monday next week. Start a trillion pills on Wednesday and messaries ugh. So that's where we are at. Can't wait for it to be over!

First time posting to this thread. But think its time to join this. I have one child, and we have been ttc for just over a year now. It happened so easily with our first, but this time we are older (I am 38 and hubby is 44) and it just doesn't seem to be happening. We have both had some tests done and everything is normal, so no idea why. I did have a chemical pregnancy back in March this year, and we did stop for 2 months while work was hectic for both of us, so technically speaking we haven't tried non stop for 12 months, but its close enough. I know I ovulate as I take ovulation tests every month and have had that confirmed by blood test as well, we bd at the right times too, so just unlucky. The only weird thing is that my cycles have always been 28 days, never early and never late, but since we started ttc they have been out, and I get it between 26 and 28 days, one month I thought I must be pregnant because it was 33 days, but I wasn't. My doctor told me stress does not cause your period to change and be early or late, the only thing that can change this is if you ovulate earlier than usually or later. Anyway I am CD2 today, and we are off on holiday in 8 days, so am hoping that the holiday is what we need and maybe it will happen then.

welcome Mikki! hope its just a matter of time for you and 2015 will be just awesome for you 

Soda - hopefully you're in with a chance - doesn't matter what CD you ov on, as late ov just means your body stuffed around for a while before sorting itself. I pretty much always have late ovs when I do ov, and I myself was a day21 baby :)

Hi ladies!

It's been ages since I posted but have been lurking and reading as often as I can. November was a very busy month for us! And now on to an even busier December!

I need to have a good read back, so sorry for the lack of personal responses for now. But NZVeg I am so so super happy your bubba is doing so well!

AFM - I went and saw my GP a couple of weeks ago and she was all for putting a referral forward for me to the recurrent pregnancy loss clinic and I got a call from the NRFS yesterday to say they have the referral for me for public services and explained that where I get "put" is at random so could easily be back at FA. I explained to her that the referral should have been for the clinic and she had to look into something and is getting back to me. Said sometimes the referrals aren't clear enough! Man!
I've kinda taken this cycle a little more relaxed though - no OPK's this time, no clomid, no real timed Bd'ing except once when I felt some OV pinching - CD27 today and this morning I got this (don't ask why I thought to test, just woke up and it was there in my head to test!)…

I'm really not at all sure on DPO, I thought possibly 9 only but maybe later by the looks of this and comparing to past ones.
Trying to remain overly positive and not think too much about this being numero 11! But boy it's hard! But I am super stoked that I seem to have OV'd at a good time, all by myself :)

Lots of love and hugs to everyone
