Tears of fustration

God I am so glad that I am not the only one who cries behind closed doors everytime someone else announces their pregnancies, it's really heartbreaking especially when a number of my friends either had or expecting baby #2...it absolutely SUCKS!

My journey has been 26months now, although at 6months into my journey we got BFP only to MC and since then we haven't had any success, what makes the process worse is that this TTC consumes me!

I saw my GP who wasn't any help whatsoever, he suggested I just relax and it will help!!! hmmmmm....try telling a woman who is stressed out about it to relax, I could have jumped over his desk and shaken the silly man!

Anyway I find reading and joining in to these forums quite therapeutic as who best to talk to than people who are going through the same journey as you.

Out of interest I am visiting an naturopath this weekend...fingers crossed! She was recommended to me by a friend who went through the same journey as all of us and struggled to hold her pregnancies, she had had a number of m/c and after her visit to natruopath and by making a few changes to her lifestyle and by also using some supplements she successfully managed to hold a pregnancy, it took a few months but when you have so much heartache it was well worth it.

So have my fingers and toes crossed that this will help me in my journey, otherwise I guess I am going to have to go and see the fertility specialist.

Hi Cheekymonkeysmum and Skylar

I hope that you are both doing well. Im with you on wanting to strangle the next person that tells me to relax!

I have started hypnotherapy and have started on magnesium suppliments and fish oil. So far the babydancing in the new house has not produced a BFP.

Skylar please tell us how you get on at the naturopath this weekend :-)

Thanks for updating us Skylar. That is great that is has given you more optimism :-)
I have been reading a new book called "Bump & Grind, the a-z survival guide for when your trying to get pregnant and sick of being told to relax!" by Genevieve Morton. Its a great book and i have laughed out loud a lot of times :-)

DF's were worse then that

Hi ladies, I was just lurking, but wanted to say hugest congrats to you skylar! Hope it's a sticky one

Congrats Skylar that is awesome news that you are expecting a Christmas baby :-)

Well I have to say the green eyed monster has moved in with me this weekend!! Found out my Sis is UTD. When I told her we were ttc she decided they would too and it happened first month for her yet I'm upto cycle 6 now!! It's just not fair, and she is 9 weeks and only just told me yesterday yet for last few months been talking heaps bout ttc! I'm happy for her but gutted at same time. I don't even want to speak to her now think I just need some time to come to grips with it! Don't know how I'm going to manage if we don't get our BFP soon!

Sorry bout the vent just needed to get it out ( normally I vent to her!)

How have others coped when it's someone u really close to?

Hi pocohontas

Im with you. I just txt my bestfriend and asked what time she was going to pick up the fertility books and ovulation kits (TTC is damaging my relationship with my hubby so we have decided to stop - long story!)So on Friday i was taking to her and said that she can use them. Turns out she doesnt need to borrow the book or tests because just got a +ve test result. Im very excited for her :-) we had our daughters together 8 years ago but feeling like its not fair!

Im getting to the stage that i am thinking about selling all my baby gear (from my daughter and nephews) on trade-me. I cant stand going into the spare room seeing the cot and baby gear anymore

I guess ill just spoil her child and offer to babysit lots

hi ladies
just didnt want to read and run, i TTCd for my little girl for over a year, and concieved after being diagnosed with PCOS and taking metformin and Clomid..no a year and a bit in the scheme of things isnt long, but a the time, to me it felt like forever. (having people say "oh a year is nothing! i ttcd for xxx amount of years so you cant complain blablabla.."made me want to scream!! a BFN is a BFN, no matter how long youve been trying, it hurts to find out you cant naturally conceive..) finding out my sister was preg after literally their first try (like THE very first try!) and not having my GP believe me and actually LAUGH at me when i asked for bloods to check my hormone levels when i knew deep down something wasnt right..yeah..it felt like id never hold my own baby in my arms! i just wanted to say that its so hard to want a baby SOOO much- but wanting something that much is a good thing! because you know you are passionate about being a Mummy, if you were completely blasé about it all month after month after month,and didnt feel even a bit of disappointment, then youd have to wonder how much you wanted the baby then ay..so in a horrible, round about way, its a good thing (if that makes sense??)- and if you are feeling this awful with the disappointment and frustration now, imagine how good the feelings will be once you ARE holding your baby in your arms finally!! trust me, nothing compares, and it is totally worth every second of waiting and it WILL happen so dont give up!!
good luck ladies, and babydust to you all!!! x x x
