I know I am.

Ugh.

Am bored with the words 'tests' and 'ovulation' and 'BD' and I'm actually bored with sex.

I'm bored with symptom spotting and the letters DPO. I saw a car the other day with the registration FMU and wanted to crash into it. Thought it was a 'sign'.

So bored.
 
i saw a car a couple of months ago with BFP and thought that was a sign , lol.
Im not bored,just fed up of trying and waiting. Not the physical trying part :blush: but the need for specific timing and the not knowing whats happening. We BD throughout the month rather than just around ovulation but Im never sure when i ovulate or when AF is gonna come so i feel like i wait all month for one thing or another. :hissy::hissy:

I know how you feel hun. It all just feels so pointless now. I'm getting to the stage where I can't even be bothered to POAS anymore.

What's the point? Its just going to be a :bfn:
 
Bored is an understatement..

I am so bored of it, its unreal and like autumn said, every month I know its just going to be another BFN so that if my period is late (which I know it will be pretty much every month) I dont even have the enthusiasm to take a pregnancy test.

Its a huge "yawn" at the mo :(

I think this is one of the most nasty side effects of LTTC, having lost the spark, the enthusiasm, the pure joy and giddiness of it. Just last week I was staring at my slight bfp and thinking "gah, what's the point? it would be nice though" because I knew it won't last, that there won't be a baby at the end of it. That it will probably take a load more time and money and pain to actually get safely pregnant and then a baby. If a year ago I would see half of that BFP I'd shout from the rooftops.

Not saying it's the same for everyone but for different reasons we're all jaded and tired of it all. It's horrendous that the Yoohoo! part was sapped out of it. I DO believe that it will return to us once we get very very healthily pregnant and we know we'll get to meet our very worked-on bundle!
 
I guess one word you could use to describe it is bored ...

I kinda felt more angry that it was starting to have that affect on me. That everything was starting to bore me and it shouldnt be like that. You just get the feeling at times your going round and round in circles.

It was getting tot he point where i was debating taking a break but then i thought, well if a take a break its going to take even longer!!
 
I'm bored of:

1 waking up at 6.30 every morning to take my temperature

2 of sitting in telephone queues to get through to the fertility clinic to be passed around 5 different people before i get to the one that tells me the next available appointment in in 6 months time

3 of being on the NHS waiting (and waiting ..... and waiting ..... and waiting) list

4 of having the pursuade my DH to BD on what i think is the all important day

5 of having to think up new and imaginative ways each month to manage point 4

6 of having thought it was the all important OV day and then my body confusing me and deciding to gve me signs of OV but then actually OV a few days later (if at all) - so have to go back to point 4 (and see point 5!!)

7 of having a phone call with a friend who tells me they are thinking of TTC and shes going to go off the pill and just 'wait and see' - and then meeting up with them a few weeks later to be told they are pregnant.

8 of having to spend at least an hour a month buying baby clothes for somebody elses child (beacuse EVERYONE i know is pregnant / just had a baby right now)

9 of being told to relax (usually by the person in point 7)

10 of being told to stay positive

11 of being told that 'it isnt like me' to be this negative and weak

12 of having the same argument each month with DH becuase he has said point 9, 10 and 11

13 of beating myself up about the fact that I can not do point 9, that its is getting really hard to do point 10 and ashamed of myself that I am disappointing everyone by being point 11

14 of listening to my friends with kids telling me that i dont know how lucky i am - and that if i cant have children I am lucky as I will have more money, more time with DH blah blah blah... (and 14.1 - DH agreeing with them)

15 of family who know my situation asking me in the weekly phonecall 'have you had any tests results yet' 'whens your next appointment' - when they KNOW that it take 6 months for the NHS to do anything - they do not listen to me

16 writing down cycle days and symptoms in my diary - and then studying them for hours to try to find a pattern - including spending hours on fertility friend looking at charts

17 of starting spotting and STILL having some hope that this might be it and the blood may not come

18 of buying tampax / sanitary towels only at the last minute - just in case I dont need them this month - so usually end up getting caught short and having to make an emergency run to Boots.

19 of taking 7 different tablets each day (EPO, vit b6 and pregnacare)

20 of all the worry, the crying, the stressing - that comes with points 1 - 19.

:hissy::hissy::hissy::hissy::hissy:

Exactly! That's the thing, feeling trapped! Like there's no way to hop off the train as when you're done being pissy, being tired, being bored then it's still back to the same drawing board...

Brilliant list Beckic!

And hours and hours..... anyone ever thought about the sheer amount of time we've spent on the topic in various ways since we've started TTC?

I was just pondering how you ladies called it "bored of" that's mild. I seem to only have two modes these days. Barking mad and moving mountains to get to the next step or numb and stuck. :hissy:
 
I've only had 4 AF since coming off the pill almost 14 months ago so I haven't even been able to try properly.

I'm bored waiting months for AF to show up, bored getting false negatives on opk and bored waiting on my fertility appointment to come through.

I have no hope at the minute, just holding out all hopes for my appontment. Everything is on hold until then really because I know it won't happen on its own.
 
Oh yes I am bored of it all...... sex is now boring and feels like a routine thing, I am bored of POAS at ovulation and testing time (like you girls have said what's the point as you know it's going to be a :bfn: anyway?), I am bored of trying to keep optimistic and bored of being told to relax, I am also bored of people in work announcing they are now expecting and telling me that they caught first time or weren't even trying !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for ranting but I feel better now. I am CD1 today come on :bfp: before the boredom kicks in again. :rofl:
 
Yer, I hear ya!

I'm bored of;

* getting symptoms that turn out to be nada
* paying out so much money for acupuncture and expensive Vits
* trying to get hold of the hospital to book appts and get prescription
* hot flushes and irritable feelings
* the conveyor belt that I seem to be on
* the consultant who dosent want to do lap op

apart fron that I'm tickety-boo! lol!
 
I agree with all of the above, I'm completely and utterly BORED with all of it. I also feel like giving it all up for a while, but know that it just means it will take longer and this same process starts all over again!!!

Does anyone else feel like screaming or is it just me?!?!?!?!?

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
 
I'm bored of my OH bringing home bits and bobs for my nephews or looking at the baby stuff when we're out shopping, getting stuff for them and telling me what he wants for our wimble. I'm bored of people telling me I'll be a great mamma coz I'm a brilliant aunty. I'm bored of not enjoying my nephews because I'm so busy focusing on what I haven't got. I'm bored of taking my SiL's useless parenting skills so damn personally. I'm bored with all the obsessing. I'm bored of seeing pregnant women (or babies - especially twins!) everywhere I look. I'm bored of looking for AF symptoms constantly. I'm bored with our sex life, that its become something we have to do, not something we necessarily want to do.
Thanks for letting me get that out lol
 
i don't even keep pg tests in the house im that fed up of knowing that each month is a no go unless i get to at least 10dpo, which has not happened in 13 months, as far as im aware, definately not in the past 9 ive been charting.
 
God, we all feel the same, then?

TTC. Yawn.

Just a tiring disappointment, sofar.
 
DH hijacked Millnsy's profile, to reply to the post written by beckic which the DW showed me. Just thought that I'd say that it made me smile, laugh, feel a bit shitty, and realise that its not "just us".

Fight the good fight, "relax", "stay positive" and most importantly keep shagging.

Sme french bloke once said "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."

Keep dreaming and believing

TTFN DH
 
Totally bored! and you know what is awful? When DH got told we had to use precautions for 3 months due to some meds DH was taking.... i almost breathed a sigh of relief!

I have stopped POAS, temping, checking my CM.... it's been so de-stressing!!! I even forgot what day of my cycle i was on and when :witch: came i had to log on to FF and put it on there just so i knew!

The downside to not TTC for 3 months...... i think DH has had more 'solo' experiences than ones with me!!! I appear to have gone off it!! :rofl::rofl:
 
oh yes so bored of it all now to the point that i have decided when all my OPK are gone i am not buying anymore and just gonna go with the flow!!!
