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.

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

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.

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.

as for me, am on 1st cycle of clomid, in the 2ww. had a bumper crop of eggs at my follicle track scan, so just waiting to see now.

annie and duchesse may wish to tell you any news themselves

<rainbow enters sulkily and plocks crate of vodka bottles in center of room, but takes one of the bottles and a huge box of chocolates into corner where she slumps down>

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

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.

Takes swig of vodka and chocolates in comradely fashion

oh rainbow, im so sorry.

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.
