Hi back Lissie
Good to see you here (well it's not, but you know what I mean)
So this is where everyone is these days
I have 2 DCs and since the birth of DS 4 years ago have wanted a 3rd. It took me 3 years to convince DH, and he agreed to try for 6m , (which I have elongated to a year )and then we had 2 early miscarriages late last year.
We are on our last month of trying this month
Have almost (but not quite) come to terms with not having a third.

[OracleInaCoracle]

hi darrell, thats crap. can you not extend the "deadline" its impossible to put a timescale on these things!

[babylily]

hello all...can i creep on into the hut?
DH & i are 38 about to start on 9th month of trying for DC3...DD1(6) & DD2 (3) were conceived at 1st attempt. we lost a DS with a trisomy in 2nd trimester in between (also conceived at 1st attempt).
gutted that am really now at the point of wondering if it may never happen.

Darrell btw - i have just read a book by an american feminist writer (Peggy Orenstein i think... anyway after 6 years of IVF and everything else conceived her DD naturally)...which says that even in their late thirties, 90% of women will conceive within 2 years..i.e. a year is just not long enough to give it.
ahhhh it's made me feel a bit better just to write it down.

[DarrellRivers]

Hi babylily
In my head we have been trying for longer than that
And I think I need to give DH a break for a bit
We shall see
Anyway fingers crossed for this month, although am slightly panicky it's for the last time
In my head , it's not going to happen
In my heart [hope]

hi shreks, good news about the pill. stranger things have happened.

annie and duchesse may wish to tell you any news themselves

[OracleInaCoracle]

not seen you in here for ages rainbow. pointless asking if you are ok. want to rant?

[rainbowdays]

Not really in a ranting mood, just need to 'BE' in the hut for a while. Waiting for confirmation that I am M/C-ing for third time in the last 12 months.

[DarrellRivers]

Takes swig of vodka and chocolates in comradely fashion

[OracleInaCoracle]

oh rainbow, im so sorry.

[OracleInaCoracle]

annie, thats great news (and thank you) am CD20 and feeling a bit queer tbh. am v sick and v v tired, pretty sure i ov'd on CD13 so if i am pg that wuld make sense. can hardly dare to hope. wish i could go to sleep for the next week and have done with it. MIL uttered the immortal "you are too stressed and need to relax" line yesterday. it was all i could do not to clout her. im so fed up of the pity.

[OracleInaCoracle]

i think i may test early this month tbh. im fed up of behaving

[OracleInaCoracle]

lol, tis v naughty of me. especially since im a fervent wait to tester

[OracleInaCoracle]

lol, am getting a test on tues i think. maybe wishful thinking but i really do think this is it.

[DarrellRivers]

fingers crossed lissie

[rainbowdays]

yep, definitely fingers crossed for you lissie.

[OracleInaCoracle]

thank you. rainbow, annie, when are your scans?

got some backache cramps yesterday, broke down, told dh that my period was on its way. then they stopped.
just thrown up a cup of coffee. I can barely breathe!
