How Long is Long Term
Hi Ladies
Just wanted to know what people consider long term ttc? I have been ttc for just over 6 months - does that count as long term? (I've only had 2 AF's in that time so I think i'll be in for a long haul too).
I wouldn't want to post in here if it's for over longer, because I think it should be a place for those who don't want to listen to others talk about ttc who haven't been trying that long as it can be upsetting so I don't want to upset anyone if 6 months isn't considered long term if you see what I mean!?!
Anyway good luck to all and *babydust*

I don't think you can put a time on "long" but I think the idea is for those of us who feel that the normal TTC forum is not the place to be either.
No offence to anyone - but it is nice to have somewhere to chat to those in the similar boat if you know what I mean.
Good luck to us all and I am sure we can all be of great support to each other over what is likely to be a rocky old road!

I would like to join in too. Weve been trying for 11 mths now. I have a 9 yr old boy by previous and dh has a 8 yr old by previous. We got married last june and thought that we had nothing better than to fall straight away. To top it my brother phoned me today to tell me im going to be an aunty they only got maqrried in april !! Got home from work and my dh friend txt him to say his wifes pg due in feb !! I just want to scream!!!! Im due to test this weekend so if af rears her ugly head im going to go to docs.
I know how the rest of you must be feeling
Babydust to all

it's has to be our turn soon right
I have to say though it is nice to see a few familiar names from first joining here though... as much as I am as upset for you that it hasn't happened yet - it is quite comforting to know you are not alone.

Im glad that they started this forum. I love going on ttc one but never posted much as every other newbie was getting bfps very quick!
Im chuffed for every one of them as i know they would be for me if i was that lucky but every month gets harder so all you ladies ttc for a good while now does slightly understand a bit more.
im trying so hard not to offend anyone here. If i have not intended
Will be our month soon

I don't go on TTC much anyway - too hard to see (and no offence ment by this) people getting their BFPs within a few months...
I have a couple of friends who have gone through IVF/Assisted conception (in a variety of means) and seen how hard it was for them.. and as much as I understood unless you are going through something similar you just don't understand.
I agree with you re: men.... gosh they don't (and I mean this in a nice way) get it.... they don't have the same "ticking" pressure that we get... I'm worried cos I'm 34 too and if it is this hard to have one does that mean we are limited to only having one child?!
anyway, you are right, by hook or by crook (as my granny used to say) we'll get there and by god will our little ones be wanted and loved

Im 37 in september. My clocks def ticking!!
You made me lol there when you said your grans saying.
Think my hubby tries to hide how worried he is to be honest just for my sake. Its like when you have worked hard for something and its not handed to you on a plate you appreciate it more:\)
Looks like we've been trying about the same length of time.
Hope its our month real soon!!

Maybe this forum should have been long term ttc & Fertility problems??
that way ppl can come and discuss what the next steps are ie ppl like moomin rather than posting in regular ttc where "normal" TTCers are?
*don't mean to offend any1, babydust to all*

Ive just thought I bet everyone in this forum is a bit jaded by the poas addiction phenomenom?? I bet theres not so many poas addicts here - been there - done that and it cost a bloody fortune so maybe shouldnt waste our money?!! Plus I bet we all dont mind waiting those few days if there is a chance of a BFP till we are actually likely to get the old BFP?
Its amazing how many ladies must poas days before any hormone starts to even appear! Sorry I just think - why waste your money lol. But then I have to admit I have been guilty of opk poas addiction - in the desperate hope that the miracle of ovulation actually happen!!!
I think us guys are much more realistic after what we've been through and that makes this place a cool place to be. Plus when one of us gets our BFP (oooh wonder who will be fist) Im not trying to be funny but it will mean a HECK of a lot - and will be a MASSIVE cause for celebration - online styley!!

We will definitely celebrate in style for the first Long Term TTC/Fertility Problem BFP... I certainly can't read about any more BFP's from people that have only ben trying a few months, no offence to anyone meant, it just hurts too much

We have been TTC since May 2006 so if af rears her ugly head this weekend then it will be on to month 28 and my second round of clomid. We have had many tests and everything has come clear with one slight anomoly (think that is correct spelling) the gynea thinks i have a thin womb lining as my last scan showed it was really thin so have to go for another scan on day 14 to check i am thick enough. then if that is ok then 3 months of clomid and then on to private assisted conception for us. we are on the waiting list of nhs but it it is nearly 2 year so hoping that we would get a bfp before then.
it is really strange but i seem to have put my life on hold on the hoping to get a bfp. i keep hoping that the next meal out with friends or birthdays or xmas we can tell people that we are preggers but they keep coming and going.
I totally agree is really hard to try and stay possitive and even be happy for freinds so much so i try and avoid pregnant friends at the moment.
i am sure we will all get out bfp one day and when we do it will be extra speical for us to have our much longed for and cherish little one....
