So my man has a son of his own... and I bought him some gifts for his mother & grans, as much as it hurts when I’ve been TTC for 2 years & no sign of it happening anytime soon.
Woke up this morning to a wee surprise gift from my man. A pineapple trinket filled with OPKs and pregnancy tests 🤭. Now I know this might seem inappropriate to some but my man is never romantic & this showed me how much he cared about our journey! 😭😭😭
Lovely 😍 xxx
Hi there TTCKez, how lovely of your man! Very thoughtful xx
That’s such a great idea! I’m loving it!
It’s not insensitive, it’s a gift filled with hope xx
Lovely xx
Thank you ladies ♥️ Xxx
This just made me cry! What an amazing present 🍍 x x x
That’s so lovely - you’ve got a good one there xx
That is really sweet it’s the small gestures that can mean so much! I feel your pain as my hubby has a daughter of his own....she gave me a Mother’s Day Care today which was lovely but it’s still painful that we don’t have one of our own! Have you had any tests or been diagnosed at all? Forgive me if you have it written somewhere ....I only joined today!! Xx
It is isn’t it! Yes iv had my first few bloods and things done which have shown ovulation, no endo as they checked when I had a lap surgery to remove cysts, partners sa was only handed in last week but due to him having a son I can’t see that being the big issue. What about you?
Also I recently started acupuncture to see how that helps 😊xxx

Ahhh that's so sweet!xx
Here’s my story... sorry it’s lengthy if you have tube related issues I may be able to help as I have explored almost every avenue!
I have suffered with infertility since I was 18 (32 now 😬) it started with pelvic inflammatory disease which caused damage to my Fallopian tubes. I had an operation which had apparently fixed this... fast forward a few years BD and I all of a sudden become very ill and am rushed to hospital. Whilst at the hospital I am congratulated by the nurse there as I was pregnant... it turned out that it was an ectopic pregnancy, so I then lost my Right Fallopian tube as well as my little bean. As I was still only in my early 20’s I just kind of thought that it would happen naturally even though I had only my Left Fallopian tube left! Fast forward a few years I then went back to the infertility specialist and it was decided that I would have a laporoscopy (lap and dye) to see if my tube was open and how my womb and ovaries were looking. It turned out that my remaining tube was blocked and my ovaries were slightly polycystic. I then was put on the waiting list for IVF. A couple more years go by and I finally hear the good news that i was eligible for two rounds of ivf. So I had the first round and everything seemed to have gone well but we ended up with a BFN! I wasn’t too worried as we had another round to go!! We never got the second go as Bournemouth ivf was shut down due to investigations we couldn’t afford at the time to go for ivf so I constantly researched online and eventually came across a doctor who unblocks Fallopian tubes (without surgery) - please do ask if you would like more info. Anyway the good news after this procedure was that my tube was successfully unblocked- (the blockage was at the womb end) Then fast forward another year or two and I split from the partner I had been with for ten years!! Luckily a year or so after the break up I met my soulmate! 🎉 I explained to him in the beginning about my fertility issues and we have NEVER used protection. So this brings us to the present day and we are married and so so want to complete our family with a child of our own. (He has a daughter) so we are therefore not entitled to IVF in the nhs which I feel is unfair as I don’t have any children myself!! I have been going through the mill with the nhs over the last year, paid for a HSG privately and was told that my remaining tube was now blocked at the end near the ovary and they have now booked me in for another lap and dye on 10th April 2018 but there is a ‘chance’ that they may be able to fix the ovary end of the Fallopian tube but if not they are going to take my tube out. Obviously then we will be going down the IVF route. All I know is that I don’t want to give up although every month the witch turns up I still feel like my whole world is shattered and the same nagging doubt Will this EVER happen for us!!??? I am here because I would like to share any knowledge I have learnt over the years (I should have a degree in fertility research!!) and also to help realise my dream of becoming a mummy 😢
If you have open tubes and oh sperm all good I know of some herbs (English doctor with PhD) and who does a tincture for infertility his tinctures have proven to regulate cycles/ovulation/circulation and loads more.... he said to me when I visited and bought the herbs... if my tubes were open and I took the ticture daily, if I wasn’t pregnant within 3-6 months it would never happen (because the herbs are so potent and scientifically proven to assist with fertility) I took the herbs and they did regulate my cycle and they made me ovulate (I have polycystic ovaries) but what they couldn’t get past is my blocked tube!!! If you are interested the place I purchased from is herbactive.co.uk/
Always worth a try xx
That is such a lovely idea. Sounds like you have a brilliant OH 😊
Aww that’s cute xx
I never thought I’d be upset on Mother’s Day
To those struggling on Mother’s Day
