Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception February/March 2014

**Mildez** · February 18th, 2014, 05:03 PM

I haven't posted in here as I don't feel like I belong here (not doing AC) but just wanted to say how sorry I am Sarah4Kurt. I know what you mean about feeling you should stop but not been able to. That hope that next time will bring your earthside baby is still strong enough to keep going despite the depression, desperation and feeling of hopelessness.

**Joski** · February 18th, 2014, 05:07 PM

Oh, I'm so sorry Sarah! :hugs:

**nothing2lose** · February 18th, 2014, 05:57 PM

Just posting that I have started a new thread for those who have been TTC over 12 months but who are not doing assisted conception (IVF, etc). Thought you might be more comfortable chatting there

Oh Sarah, you have so much strength and determination to keep going forward, I truly admire you. Even though you've had so many set backs, you do pick yourself up and you do keep going. And I do hope that this determination and strength that you have within you gets you what you truly wish for. Lots of love and hugs to you my girl. And big hugs too xxxxx

Aw it's you girls that keep me on my path xoxo
Thanks for the big hugs too missb and big hugs back!
I guess I will figure out how to pick myself up thanks for reminding me.
Thanks joski and mildez thanks for the understanding words xoxo

Double .... = healthy baby dust! ***********

**Miss.B** · February 18th, 2014, 09:22 PM

I love that you're always sprinkling baby dust on us Sarah, we need it in here!! I've just dumped so much on you I doubt that you can move hahaha

**PositivelyGTC** · February 19th, 2014, 08:33 AM

Mildez - you are welcome in this forum at anytime, not all ladies are doing AC

Sarah - thanks for the baby dust.......right back at ya

Everyone else happy hump day, wishing you all a lovely day full or happiness and promise

AFM - one foot in front of the other of late, i had a mental health day yesterday just couldn't face coming to work....so needed it. I am so undecided about doing a FET cycle next month! i know i agreed with DH we would wait till April as we are going to Adelaide next month for 4 days but man I feel like waiting is just wasting time. More bloody baby showers coming up, this Saturday we are hosting a BBQ for SIL (we have a pool) and as you know she is pregnant, the friend she is inviting has a 8 month old so I am going to have to listen to crap about being pregnant. Part of me wishes I could come down with a cold so I have an excuse to say we can't host this for you.....i feel mean feeling like that though. Arghhhhh so damn hard!!

Struggling to keep up - I don't get notifications very often!
I've just joined the 12 month plus thread, but it looks very quiet in there!

**Miss.B** · February 19th, 2014, 08:55 PM

Positively, I sometimes feel the same hun, with not being sure if I'm 100% ready for the FET next month but I just have to bite the bullet and just do it, as I feel time is really going by fast and If I need to do a stim I need to hurry along. I'm about to O or I am O-ing as we speak, and I feel so sorry for that eggie knowing well that it will just go to waste, like it does every single month. Wish we had some sort of a chance with getting pg naturally, but sadly it's not the case. I feel like waiting is wasting time too. Sorry to hear you'll no doubt have a hard time with the SIL's baby shower, sending you loads of 'hang in there' vibes. Hopefully your SIL and your friends will be attending your baby shower soon xxx

Welcome to the newbies! Sorry to hear you've graduated to this forum but GL with your TTC ladies!

How are you doing Sarah?

AFM, can't believe I will be doing a FET in around 4 weeks

. This time around I have made some more positive changes so I hope it all helps. I'm making my DP take the menavit just in case we have to go for a stim, God I hope we don't have to. Just the mere thought that I will be 44 in May is giving me heart pulpitations lol.

Hello to all

**Joski** · February 20th, 2014, 06:24 AM

How are you doing Sarah?

Hello to everyone who has just joined us.... :waves:

AFM, I had the appt with the endocrinologist earlier in the week. Turns out I have lymphodema (sp?) so I'm now taking meds for that. Going back next week for further assessment once more bt are back. It appears I have a massive hormone imbalance (which was kept in check somewhat by being on the pill for years) now that I'm off it, so many things are coming up to the surface.

Feeling a bit down on the while thing really..... All I wanted to was to have a baby- maybe it's just not my time yet.

**PositivelyGTC** · February 20th, 2014, 08:40 AM

Morning Ladies, happy Thursday to you all

Nova - bugger hopefully the forum gets busier but otherwise you are welcome to stay with us

Miss B - glad to hear someone feels like me....makes me feel normal which is great. I o'd on Monday afternoon I rushed home from work and did the baby dance (poor DH..lol) part of me thinks why do we bother trying naturally but if I don't give it a good shot I will kick myself and start doing the whole what if thing. All the best for your FET cycle so good that you have made some positive changes that can only be a big bonus. Thanks for sending the "hang in there" vibes I am so going to need it this Saturday arvo. Getting older when your TTC is crap really but in the scheme of things 44 is young!!

Joski - not sure what you have so I am going to have to google it, hope its easily fixed though. As for the hormone imbalance can herbs help with that? perhaps seeing a good naturopath is a good start. GL though hope it gets sorted quickly for you. As for it not being the right time that is so hard to accept isn't it, its like well I am ready and it's my body so let it happen. I keep wondering if I am supposed to be learning patience or some other life lesson. Again so hard at times

Joe & Sarah I am always thinking of you both, hope everything is going well under the difficult circumstances xx

Everyone else GL, loads of baby dust at ya x
