Yes I agree to save your frer for 9dpo, but knowing me I would still use it.
Good luck dont forget to post pics of any squinters/lines xxx

I am actually planning on not buying one this cycle if I can help it lol. Last time I got a faint line in ebay stick 12 days after positive ov test so possibly 10 or 11 dpo? I will do a test tomorrow and wednesday with that just for the fun of it.

I just have this feeling that we did it... it's jot going away even tho i know its unlikely. I just hope my body is not playing tricks on me x

I am around 6dpo on my guestimations. Not really feeling anything. Trying to not symptom spot. Nothing seems different really. My boob pain has eased off which is not normal for me as usually continues
I am just awaiting af now on 29/30th Oct.

 

[KHTW]

You never know, still a week until 29th, the symptoms could come back x

 

[KHTW]

Is there a button I can press to fast forward to Friday!!!!

I am 9DPO today and really try not to symptom spot but it's so hard when some of them are so obvious! And the fact that they could be caused by progesterone whether I am pregnant or not is so annoying.

Here's what I am noticing the most in the past couple of days:
-heartburn
-lower back pain
-light headed (nearly fainted on saturday!)
-fatigue

Anybody with me??? x

 

[MarshallsS88]

Fingers crossed ladies, I'm hoping AF keeps the f**k away for us all haha. I'm now 7dpo and at the moment no signs of her yet. I usually start getting mild stomach cramps around now which is a sign of her making her appearance, but today I've woke up spotty which isn't usual, so fingers crossed.

 

[Alexis2017]

I haf some pains which could be implantation pains but had them before at this stage and still got bfn. Only 2 more sleeps till infertility appt. I'm feeling a bit nervous about it all now.

Good luck with your appointment Alexis. I have just booked an appointment with the GP so we can be referred again but to a different clinic. Despite everything we've been through, I just don't feel it's meant to be for us so I want to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later.

We had a particularly poor experience at our appointment which still haunts me but I truly think that doctor was having some sort of midlife crisis which is the only reason I'm prepared to put us through it again!!! Don't believe for a second that it was normal experience! Make sure you go armed with your questions. As you've had a lot less tests than me, I would expect they will want to do and ultrasound then possibly an HSG depending on the scan. Hope it goes well for you.

Good luck at your appointment Alexis, I have my fertility appointment to discuss IUI a week on Tuesday.

Moomingirl, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have a very good experience, but good on your for going back and following your dream of having a child. Fingers this other doctor will be better for you x

 

[MoominGirl]

I refuse to be taken down by one arrogant idiot who was full of sh*t quite honestly. After a bit of investigation, we discovered she was clinical lead which is why I want to start from scratch with a new clinic. We're lucky with where we live that there are several possibilities and the clinic I've chosen will take us under NHS.

Currently just trying to get through the 2ww until the inevitable happens. Had a long chat with hubby while we were away and it was really helpful in working out where we both are with this. I have absolutely no faith whatsoever in our chances of conceiving any more and emotionally I really feel like I'm done. He's still clinging on to hope and of course I need to respect that. We will carry on trying naturally but I still want to be referred again. Not so we rush into anything but I want to get all the options available to us so we can make an informed decision. Really I just feel like the quicker we exhaust all our options, the sooner I can start to move on. Right now I just can't imagine we will get our happy ending. I just want to go back to a place where TTC doesn't consume me. I don't think OH realised that it's literally all I think about and I'm just not sure how much more I can take. It's been nearly 3 years since I came off the pill and it's been nothing but heartache since.

Good luck with your appointment too MarshallsS88.

Thank you. Yeah I need to write down my questions...but so many. Good luck with your next appt and hope it goes better than previous! I never wanted to accept this but its happening so now I just need to look forward now.

I think it will be a while but hopefully after Xmas by the time the paperwork goes through. Won't see the GP for a couple of weeks as I wanted an appointment mid cycle when I'm generally less of a wreck. I think when you hear about fertility problems, you just assume they happen to other couples. It's never something you think will happen to you. I still don't think OH has really accepted it either. I'm seriously starting to look at ways forward and planning things to look forward to. Our life needs to go on even if that means just the two of us.

 

[MarshallsS88]

Even though we managed to fall pregnant last Jan, unfortunately ended in a MC, we still feel that it just isn’t going to happen naturally again for us. It’s been 8 months since the MC and me and my OH have finally come to terms with the fact that we need a helping hand in all this. Who ever thought getting pregnant was so hard, when you see all these one night stands ending in pregnancy, they must be highly fertile or very lucky. Annoys me seeing so many just fall pregnant on soaps (yes I know it’s not really but I’m like ‘it doesn’t happen just like that!’ Lol.
I’m hoping we all get our little bit of happiness soon, cos like you moominGirl, it’s all I ever think about and I cannot switch off, wish I could go back and not look into how it all works and just go along with it being a whole less stressed. X

 

[KHTW]

Oh girls I really hope you get to talk to someone who can help and also is nice and understanding! Nothing worse than having to talk to someone you feel doesn't even care! x

 

[Alexis2017]

Good luck Marshalls. Yeah I wanted the husband, 2 children the dog and the house...all thats missing is the children part. I wiah I could say I didnt think it would be us having the problems but from mid teenage years I had a feeling I couldnt have a baby and from then on its haunted the back of my mind. I told DH this when We started trying and he told me I was talking rubbish but now he is starting to realise it should have happened by now the amount of effort we have put in. I am the same when you say you can't think about anything else. It has consumed my life and I have no idea how you just walk away from all this with no baby at the end of it. I literally think this is the worst thing ever to happen in my eyes. What do we do for the rest of our lifes...who will care when we are old and need our shopping done? When there is no 1st words 1st day at school ...1st anything. It's a lonely old ride with no children to share it with .

Not having your own children doesn't have to mean not being a mum and not having children. OH and I will absolutely be fostering at some point in the not too distant future. Both happy to consider adoption if we can't have our own as well.

For us, it would be extremely hard to accept not being able to have our own, but we do believe we can give children a really good life and all the love in the world, so neither of us could justify not giving that to another child just because it didn't have our DNA.

That doesn't for one second mean I think that's right for everyone. One of my closest friends gave up trying after her 5th failed IVF and she quickly made peace with it. I don't know how she did it, but she really did just find a way to accept it and find a new future to look to. The only thing she has found hard is that she would adopt, but her husband absolutely won't.

We are all slaves to our own wants, needs, dreams and desires and ultimately, we will find the path that helps us get through.

Big hugs to you xxx

It’s a toughie isn’t it. If the doctor told me I wasn’t able to have kids then I would definitely be up for adopting, but because I know there’s nothing wrong with either of us all I want is to experience carrying a baby, I want the morning sickness, I want to labour pains, I want to have the pain of pushing a baby out, I want the sleepless nights, so I don’t think I could adopt, which sounds awful.

I hope you all find your happiness soon, we all deserve the break soon x

It's such a very personal thing isn't it. Xx
