TTC for 12 months +

BC lol why are you doing it???

I will be tonight when it is on so I shall give myself the same advice lol!!

Thanks BC - had the most relaxing time. In fact I relaxed more than I have been able to in a couple of years so hopefully that helps matters. I'm part drawn to watching that show too - but I shouldn't really do it myself either. Good idea with re-visualisation Icecream.

I meant to say I'm 13 days post ov, not CD 13. So at that annoying 'just come on and put me out of my wondering / suffering' stage of the TWW

I booked some accupuncture in for next week. Haven't been for 6 months so am really looking forward to it. Thought I'd do a 3 month run-up to ivf

Hi all just spent half an hour reading all your posts.

We DH and I have been ttc #4 For 12 months

I have a 7&9 year olds from a prev relationship and we have a 2.5 year old together.
We have been together 4.5 years and recently got Married.
Our 2.5 year old took 10 months
Had bloods done for hormones and Ov 2 months ago and they all came back normal and apparently I am ovulation (even tho I don't feel like I am )
DH soldiers got tested a few years back when we were ttc Miss 2.5 and are good.
Its so frustrating knowing that everything is 'Normal' yet we cant seam to conceive??
Dr wants us to keep trying for another 6 months until we go back to her.
In the meantime I am very grateful for the 3 precious monkeys we do have and am trying to relax have kind of given up even bothering to think about it...
We are becoming cyf caregivers and should be all approved and ready to go within weeks - so cant wait to have a bubba in the house and the kids are really excited :)

Lots of babydust to you all xx

I'm another. Trying for number 2 for 1,5 years now. Had to early MCs thus far. I'm really quite desperate, for some reason even more so than with my 1st. In my heart I feel I've made a lot of mistakes that I would like to correct with my 2nd.

Just wondered whether any of you girls take Vitex? Do you stop it all around possible ovulation or continue right through? I was wonder with things that state: do not take when pregnant.

thanks in advance!

D.

*apologies for the typos. been staring at posts for hours LOL*

just fyi for those of you that are looking for positives: my parents tried for 5 years before I came along. and then my brother came 3 years later. that with no diagnosed issues.

fx for all of you! and me!

Ooooh and hot flushes were horrible today!!! I'm struggling to sleep at night to because I keep waking up sweating. Silly hormones and working over time I'm guessing, but man it's awful! I'm surprised it has been happening more now and not when I was taking the clomid?! Also have been having horrid pinching sensations in my right side ovary area. I'm secretly saying to myself maybe something is working.....trying to stay positive :s

Hope its good news Red and AF doesn't show!

Jane good luck for the bloods. Unfortunately its part and parcel of fertility treatment sucky as it is.

AFM - Well I'd love some tips for dealing with hearing people are pregnant (IRL) so I don't turn into a ball of tears everytime I hear a new announcement like I have been this week. The Fella just came home and tells me that the couple who are renting our sleep-out this summer are expecting a child in December. Floored me and I burst into tears and was REALLY selfish. How the poor guy puts up with me I don't know. He told me I need to just be happy and not get upset everytime I hear stuff like that because it doesn't solve anything. And he's right. I was getting really good at hiding my hurt and just getting on with it but I guess I'm just have a wee moment where I'm OVER doing that. What makes this worse is that I will now have a pregnant/baby in my face ALL summer if not longer.

So yeah. Not really in control of my emotions right now and any helpful hints about not caring about this crap anymore would be totally welcome! :)

Wow Brownie that's pretty full on stuff. I would've thought given she's had a MC that perhaps she might have a little more tact and understanding for your situation.
Give it time, you may find that she realises the hurt she's caused you and between you, you can work it out.

Didn't mention that my DH also mentioned that I may need to be prepared for it never happening for us...not sure how positive that is lol.

I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day.

Hi guys,
