To be totally honest, at the moment it's really getting to me. Only because of the lack of AF which is really starting to get me down. I've gone from being frustrated and annoyed to just plain sad.

I've stopped taking Met in a desperate attempt to bring my AF on. As soon as I do I will begin Met again and then I will be able to begin Clomid too.

It will be 3 years this Sept. And I will be 30 in January, I feel like I'm on a train thats running out of tracks. I want 3 children, yet I seem to be going through hell just to get one.

so yeah, pretty quiet lately....Just trying to keep myself sane.

i've been tc 7 months, which i know isnt long compared to some of you ladies but i get down just the same. I've been charting for 2 months and now see i have a short luteal phase. Ive started taking B6 and using a clearblue fertility monitor so if the B6 does make me ovulate earlier i will know when. Dr has said she won't do any further tests till we've been ttc for a year due to me being on the pill for soooooo long (11 years). Gonna go armed with loadsa evidence in Sept 08 and ill tell her whats wrong!! Last w'end i was really down as i knew AF was coming, not feeling too bad now/ Like others i think its more of a rollercoaster with ups and down, not sure how ill be after 2 years of ttc though xx

Hi Loopylew - we've been TTC since Sep 07 too. This is our 3rd cycle of using the CBFM and Af is due this weekend - I can feel AF coming and know this is not going to be my month again. The past 7 months have gone really quick for me during that time I have seen 3 friends have babies and 1 get pregnant.

I find it more difficult when Af arrives then a few days after I try to get positive again. We have started to make plans so we have something to look forward to each month - like going out to eat, booking gig tickets and generally making sure we spend quality time together whilst we can.

We're going to go the GP in Sep 08 too - although the CBFM booklet suggests visiting the GP if you have not conceives within 6 months of using the monitor so might go in June/July 08 is not successful by then xx

This is my 7th cycle as well. Weve done everything were meant to do and nothings happened. I got diagnosed with adenomyosis a couple of months ago. Everytime af arrives it hurts more, i get more disheartened and af is more painful every month...i nearly went to casualty last month. My gynaecologist only gave me 6 months of pain releif becasue he thinks ill be pregnant by then ( I think the only reason he thinks this is because of my age)I may have endo but im too scared to get the lap done..im scared if i get it done theyll make a mistake or they will tell me i will never be able to conceive naturally or by ivf but every month i have af things could be getting worse...and im only 25!

I think you girls who have been ttc for over a year are 2 are amazing i dont think i would cope anywhere near aswell I hpoe you all get answers/bfps soon!

This is our 4th cycle, so I suppose not too long really. I get really frustrated just before af is due - I hate the not knowing, but I try to pick myself up after it has shown.

This is the first month we have really gone for it with bding sessions (every day since the last day of af) so I am praying that does the trick.

it's bad for me,dh gettin tired of hearin about it, seems like he wants to avoid me around o time,I think its b/c he knows then it's another 2wks of hoping then crying when af shows.

We have been TTC for almost 3 years and I am on my 5th round of Clomid, and it is really getting to me more as time goes on... but I can never see myself giving up hope, so that worries me even more as if it goes on for another 6 months, I don't know what I will be like.

My OH is great, he supports me and listens to me when I get down and when I am talking about it all the time - positively and negatively, and he comes to as many appts with me as possible, but I do still get angry and take it out on him quite a lot.

It just isn't fair, there are so many wonderful women in this forum and elsewhere who would give their right arm for a and it would be the most precious thing to them in the whole world and they have to go through the traumatic time of TTC... whereas the 14 year old at my local chippy who got 'caught out' for the second time is now heavily pregnant and doesn't have any idea of how precious it is... I am not saying that for all teenage pregnancies, but she doesn't look after her first child even.

All I can say is your time will come soon, and the amount that it will mean to you will more than justify this TTC time. I know that the first day of holding my will make me look back on this and think "it was all definately worth it".
