Hey oneday86 never to late for a career change. But you'll never escape from other pg women. I used to be so jealous when heard the baby news of friends and family back in Ireland, then girls around me... But then I thought I would never want them to feel the way I do or experience this pain of LT TTC. I know of five girls pregnant at work too! Two of them have had miscarriages in the past, and one having twins! I'm so excited for them all!
Well, you don't have to tell me about the fights with DH, we have had our fair share! These days we spend time more with the reno's for our house (have a leaking roof/ceiling, not fun!) so trying to relax think of other things... Oh I would love a glass of wine today, but I'll wait it out...
Thanks ladies for your support. Kaybee this was a day 5 like my other 4, your right it may have implanted later so i will do another test in a few days but im not very confident about it. I do need a change of career, for now anyway, I know i will never escape pg people but with my job i work very closely to everyone (outside in the playground, in the room etc) and it is very hard hearing them talking about being pg all the time, im very happy for all of them but it just dosn't make it easy when trying to concieve especially when they winge about it. I hope your results are wrong too sweetie, fingers crossed xxxx
Whoa Woo Kaybee: Congrats hoping with all my heart this is your sticky bub
Oneday: Don't beat yourself up too much, I always thought I was pretty tough mentally, until IVF came into my life. 2010 has been a roller coaster ride thats for sure. I keep thinking I should be having a bub in Jan, and think back to when we found out the bub had past, all I kept saying was that I felt broken...and I still feel broken. Then fast forward now almost 6mths and I'm still broken, if not more so. IVF is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life, there are pregnancies and babies everywhere...All I can say is please pick yourself up and do what you need to do to give the little soul waiting for your love and nuturing that they need...There are so many ways to give a mothers love.
Tantee: Thanks so much for the pep talk the other day, I think I needed...good luck testing today, I don't know how you've waited this long
Saffy:Good luck going ala natural...I don't remember how that happens LOL, you mean with out drugs and Scientist..So hoping for a Christmas Miracle for you..got busy this week will catch up next week if your around
Aimee: You must've bought the same tests as me LMAO, I have one a day too..
Tima Sweetie and anyone else I've missed hope your travelling well...
AFM: POAS this morning bfn..I'm 8dp2dt I think thats right...have my bt on Friday the 17th if I dont go to the nut house before then...
On a positive note we have had offers on our place, so our sea change (or inland change) could be happening early in the new year..maybe thats what I need ...to start putting myself back together, and not be so broken...Sticky vibes to everyone...
hello...I am coming in to join you all....just had a blastocyst transferred today, so the long wait begins.
I am sorry to those who have just had negative results.... Springlola- perhaps too early to tell yet.... and sorry sweeetie and oneday...it's such a hard road, and full of so many ups and downs, and the downs can really knock you hard, i can relate. Hang in there.... our turns will come.
Springlola - I really hope that it swings the other way for you, you are still only 10dpo technically, so very early. Great news re your house. Hopefuly that will get you closer to where you want to be.
Oneday - I'm sorry that your test was neg, but believe me, I have googled and googled and googled today and there are plenty of people who have had very low numbers at this stage. I can relate to feeling like a little piece of you chips off with every bfn. Hang in there lovely, it can still change.
Are you able to do any part time or online courses to help with a change of job or perhaps your current work can train you up on admin side of thing in their office to get some experience and then move on? It's a big decision. I'm 36 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
Sweetie - Yes, you are still borderline early. I really hope that you get your bfp. We are doing renos also, although am only up to the planning stage and having things have ripped out stage - feels like the story of my life!
Possums - hope your 2ww passes quickly for you.
Trishy - GL for your 2ww, what day transfer did you have?
Saffy - I hope you've had a relaxing weekend and that you are feeling a little better now.
Hi Tima, Aimee, hope you are both OK and that you are both out enjoying your weekends.
AFM - Well I have a confession to make. I caved in yesterday afternoon (6dp5dt) and POAS. It came up with the lightest of lightest lines, HOWEVER.. this morning with fmu...nothing! OK, so, obsessively (because I had one left) I did another this afternoon and it also had a very light line but I have started to spot. So I think something tried to happen, but didn't really take. Also feeling slight AF pain and still no bb tenderness or nausea (these were around at 10dpo last time)
IKWYM about a crappy Christmas. I am dreading it. There are only a few of us at Christmas including my pregnant SIL, who was a month behind me. It is going to be a tough reminder at Christmas. I just want to go away for Christmas but it is impossible.
I do not begrudge anyone a child but have to admit that I am a little jealous of how effortless it is for some and just find it hard to deal with at the moment.
My Inlaws dropped in this morning about an hour after my test, MIL asked me if everything was OK, I said no, the cycle didn't work and and in the next breath she proceeded to start telling me of some random person she knows who is having a baby next week, no 'oh I'm sorry, or that's no good' I interrupted her to say, look, I don't want to hear about all this right now if you don't mind' and walked out of the room. After last time when I lost my pregnancy, same thing happened and she seemed to think it was the perfect time to tell me that my SIL was pregnant.
Sorry for the me rant, but I had to let it out. I will not be telling anyone about any future TTC cycles again and am so thankful that I have you lovely ladies and others out there to talk to about this. (So much hugging in this post - you can tell I am feeling very emotional today!!)

Oh tantee- I am so sorry you have such an insensitive MIL! Mine is not great either, and my SIL has also shared pregnancy news at bad times..it's not fair
as for your tests/spotting....don't count yourself out yet, spotting can happen in pregnancy, so you never know- and symptoms can vary each time (been my experience)....I hope that perhaps you will get a pleasant surprise. It's such a rollercoaster though, I understand that. hang in there. this is a hard thing for us all to be going through right ahead of christmas too.
SpringLola: do you think we should wait till our BT's for positive results?! DH got mad at me today for POAS, he said too early (though he no expert!). I used a digital stick, which your supposed to use on the first day of missed period. Not going to test again until Thursday... Let's see how long I can hold out for. Crossing fingers for you too!
Possums: yes we'll all hang in there together!! This is for you too oneday86 and well everyone here!
Tantee: Families, grrr! Mine were great to me, but DH said nobody on my side asked how he was (when we had miscarriage)... I never thought about it that way.
