Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

i get really excited when dwellers graduate, have even been known to cry

so if you have any news, dont just move over to the antenatal threads, spill first!

That's great news Duchesse -
So, if you are lurking and may have some good news SPILL THE BEANS (when you are ready!)

We may moan about how loathesome we feel about our lot.... but ( & I think I speak for us all???) ... we're delighted to have people graduate from the hut - it certainly gives me hope I might move beyond the conception threads one day.

Hi Hut Peeps. I'm lurking now and then (not as much as I used too as I no longer work from home!). I've not a lot to add - just we are half way through IVF - which has generally been OK. I'm having a glum day focussing on the odds being stacked against us.... ho-hum.

FMN- book the hotel & party! I have put so much on hold waiting for the elusive bfp - it (almost/actually) becomes a form of self punishment. We've just got ourselves two seater sports car.... no longer holding out for a family car - we'll cross that bridge if/when... no if... it happens!

Hi to everyone else - shite weather isn't it!

tbh, ive seen a lot of hut dwellers about and they seem to be doing so well. FMN, i know what you mean, tomorrow it'll be 1y since i had my 2nd/4th mc and these damned anniversaries are getting closer each year

Ta, B-Sprout. Appreciate it. CD2. No surprises there, then. Fed up with no new change in our story. How're you?
FMN: I know it's nuts to spend so much time on 'plans'. Book it - you don't have to use the room - should things change. Probably get your money back, if you press.
Lissie, is everyone good out there? I do hope so.

Hi Lissie. I assume everyone else is doing good cos nobody is here anymore!! Personally, I am feeling rather concerned about how close it is getting to my due date. I can remember not long after my mc reading others saying that they'd always assumed they'd be pg again by the time their due date had arrived, and how gutted they now were that it hadn't happened. And I thought "of course I'll be pg by the time my due date comes!". And now it is creeping nearere and nearer and I have to face the possibility that I won't be!

hmmm id go FMN, you deserve a knees up!

havent caught up properly, how are you all?

A bit quiet? It's been deader than a doornail in here! But I suppose that is a good thing cos it means that nobody is gloomy enough to be in here!
I have a little predicament though.....we are invited to a wedding reception in a couple of months and I have a couple of issues with it. Firstly, it is around my should-have-been-due-date. And secondly, and more importantly, we will have to stay the night cos it is too far away, I don't really know anyone so planned on getting drunk (blush)but keep thinking that I could be pg by then. So if we book a room it will cost us £75, but if I am pg by then I a) won't be able to drink so will feel really shy and b) will probably be feeling v. sick and v. tired, so we would probably cancel and lose our £75. However, if we say "no" I probably won't be pg and we'll miss a potentially fun event! Woe is me, having to actually try and make a decision....

I do understand what you are saying Soreheart. From what I know of myself I can imagine that I would feel the same in your circumstances. Any good rarely comes of discussions with pregnant women at work - avoid at all costs!!

am glad you are around, it's been a bit quiet here recently!

Did I scare everyone (CityAngel) off? Sorry, All. Argh.

OMG, Sideways - sorry to be so dense. Is that your bfp you were announcing?!! I didn't mean to ignore you, I thought you may have been referring to someone else's (as sometimes happens).

That's fantastic! Congratulations!!

Sideways - congratulations hon!

Yeah and yeah, Beansprout, Symptom-Spotting Buddy. How do we ever kerp it going. I have actually spent some time over the last few days wondering WHEN exactly the last baby died. The hospital seemed to think that it must have been at 8 weeks or something but then, they completely missed the foetus when they did the scan and I delivered it 3 days later. So what do they know? It looked like 12/13 weeks to me. Sadly, I did measure it and everything. I don't know what this has got to do with anything apart from reminding that it did happen and it was only 22 months ago and not 22 years ago. Also got involved in a 3 way chat at work with easily pregnant, currently pregnant lady (who doesn't like babies) and a younger woman who is looking forward to starting to TTC soon (has clearly never been pregnant). Every 3rd sentence, I'm biting my tongue so as not to reveal what seems to me to be an 'unallowed' or 'unmentionable' story of failure to produce. I do feel a bit 'unclean' at these moments. Should I just develop a lie about not wanting children - or a genetic problem??

lol soreheart! Your screen then freezes and the entire senior management team amble past your desk at the wrong moment, just for good measure....

Period symptoms ahoy here too. I too cannot believe I have managed to be pregnant before. I was walking to work this morning, being accosted by a million bumps and wondering just how and why this now eludes me. Godammit.

Someone at work asked me today if I was pregnant. Words cannot express just how chuffed I was about that.

Have googled gunkwatch. Best hit was in a naturist web site. Didn't dare go to the site in case my work machine sounds a claxon.

Hello all didn't want to read without posting, felt rude! Impatience - I was specifically looking for you to see how you are

Sorry to hear there are some peed off 'Hutters'. Anything in particular, CityAngel? Could it be your reproductive system? Uhuh. And I see. I recommend you tell us all about it, whilst putting your feet up on one of the camel-poufes and supping some, well, I'm thinking Pimms, but you can order anything.
CD28 and all the usual symptoms are here. It's a total bastard. How did I ever manage to get pregnant in the first place, I wonder? It seems like a bit of a dream now, like maybe it didn't really happen. So, I am doing positive affirmations on this. .

"Gunkwatch" with PC Plum........!!!!!

Come join us! I am miserable for England as temp as dropped so am sure period is on its way. Feel utterly despondent.

Congratulations Sideways :0)

Hello hut of doom. Room for a fed up bunny?

Congrats to Sideways.
Am still chuckling at my new moniker (SoreHut)...hoho..it actually sounds more painful than Soreheart.
CD27 and have had 'the Spot' on cheek, managed to cry at 'Stepmom' this evening, so think AF is tracking my location in her ex-Mr Whippey van somewhere in my area.
Well, that was a long way to say 'period is coming'. I am British, y'know.
Which is probably why I haven't learnt about gunkwatching. Is this like Springwatch? Useful websites, anyone?

No, it's still only CD25 so it could be a while yet. I think I ov last Saturday so it's going to be a long week....!

beanie - no AF yet though?

Am struggling again today. Seem to have got my hopes up as temping has told me we got the timing right, but I know that, after the early m/c, it's going to be very hard when my period just trundles along as usual. I wish I could get off this particular treadmill.
