Long Term Trying To Conceive Vent Thread

[nobump]

So Royal baby is due mid July and they are team yellow, whoop de do!!!!

Can't wait to see pictures of the cute Royal bably plastered all over the papers, NOT!!!!

Not helping I am CD2 and bleeding like a pig, argghhhh.... just feel like giving up.... this is to hard!

What is team yellow?

They don't know what they are having, so not team pink or team blue so team yellow.

What is team yellow?

It means they are not finding out the gender prior to the birth

Ahhh. Yeah, I am so so so so so glad that we aren't obsessed with them here like how it is over there across the pond. I would drown myself I'm sure if I had to have that mess rubbed in my face every day. I love them both, don't get me wrong - but even on the magazines I'm just like "Oh God - another story about their baby?!" so I can't imagine what it's like over there. I'm shocked the birth won't be a manditory viewing on the television

My clinic is pissing me off. Why can't they fucking return a phone call?!?

 

[Missus_L]

I'm not a regular on here but I do feel the need to RANT! Why has everyone seem to be getting pregnant on a regular basis for the past 2 years and I've not had a sniff of a BFP or MC for that matter! I am sick of seeing scan pictures, posts and announcements from every man and their dog who are lucky enough to get caught. Why can't we get a turn?

I'm also pee'd off with my FS and my GP. I've not had AF pop by for 9 months and I'm in pain BUT no one can see me until August. Why do I have a FS if they can't be bothered to speak with me or help find out the issue to why it's been so long. I feel as if it's me and my DH then them. No one want's to help at all. All we want is to start a family and we are told I'm overweight, I've got PCOS and I can't conceive naturally. Surely more can be done?!

Sorry for the rant x

finished clomid yesterday and the last 2 days i'm going crazy!! i'm depressed and want to lay in bed and sleep and cry all day but i can't, i'm at work. then i go through being super positive that this is going to happen and i'll get a BFP soon. I'm just fed up with work, and everyone's comments! i just wish they would get that no matter how much or little we think about it, stress about it or try for it, it won't change it!!!!

They got married over a year after me and she's pregnant Grrrrrr. Then this morning I get the third announcement this month. Doctors on Monday maybe I'll get some answers or at least be on my way to them.

Dear L, I am so SO so happy for you and your soon-to-be-born son. Don't get me wrong - that's not why I'm crying. I'm crying because we always said that we wanted to have kids that could grow up together. And I'm crying because we started trying before you two. And I'm crying because you got pregnant your first month off of BC. And I'm crying because while I'm so happy for the two of you, I'm also so, so sad for us. I'm jealous, and I feel like a failure today - your son's birth day. What is wrong with my body?

This same thing happened to me last year. A girlfriend of mine and her fiance always swore that they never wanted children, EVER. But then one day her fiance changed his mind and wanted them. She said, what the heck lets give it a try. So they tried for a couple of months and BOOM. Pregnant. I had started before she even had the initial talk with her fiance and we had discussed raising our kids together (if they fully decided on having a baby) then the news. I was happy but also cried A LOT. It's so hard watching everyone else get pregnant. I can't take it!!!

I'm completely with you. It's such an awful mix of emotions. I'm SO happy and excited for them - but I'm jealous too. And I feel awful for being jealous. It's a vicious cycle that ends with me crying every 10 minutes.

So not only did my 2nd IUI not work, but all the meds gave me 2 cysts on my right ovary. Now I'm on birth control to help them dissolve before I start on the next cycle of Gonal F.

It depresses me that I often feel I have to put my life on hold because "maybe" I'll get pregnant by a certain time and I can't make plans due to all of the uncertainty of this process. My dad offered to pay for a vacation for me that would have been in April...he offered it to me in August and I thought no...because I KNOW I'll be pregnant by then! Well obviously that didn't happen. I also tried staying at a crappy job for a long time because I didn't want to quit and start a new job "newly pregnant"...luckily I finally got over THAT fear and I am starting my dream job in the coming weeks once HR clears me. I am trying to just make plans and avoid putting my life on hold for something that might not happen but it is difficult and frustrating. UGH.

I also totally hear the ladies who talk about trying to be happy for women who don't have to try to get pregnant and their LO's. My best friend just gave birth on the 18th and she keeps sending me pictures and videos of her son and he is PERFECT...and she conceived him while on the pill and trying to prevent pregnancy. I want to be happy for her and I do love her and her son but it is just so hard to get over the envious feelings. I also always dreamed of raising a child at the same time as her and now she is already planning for her second...it's tough

Started SMEP today and DH sprained his groin grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[nobump]

Just read in the papers that they think the panda's at Edinburgh zoo are expecting!

This is exactly the same boat I am in at the moment - I am in a job I don't enjoy anymore and want to get out, but keep thinking what if ... It's hard to know what to do for the best

Oh my gosh. I completely agree. Last summer one of my girlfriends asked me to run in a 5K in May and I told her I couldn't because I would "probably be like 5 months pregnant at that point." Or last fall when my husband and I were talking about our plans for this summer and how I told him we shouldn't plan to fly anywhere because "hopefully I'll be close to my third trimester by then!" Or every TWW when I think to myself, "oh I probably shouldn't have that glass of wine... just in case." It's such a downer - all.of.the.time.

As much as I love my sister, we've just found out she's pg again - she's 45 and wasn't trying. This will be her 5th child. I want to be happy but it's so hard.
