After all that desert sand, we are in serious need of slightly damper place...

This one is a hamam, complete with essential oils and thick Turkish towelling bath sheets. Mosaics on the floors, marble pools. You get the picture. It still needs some decorating though.

We have had a few graduates (OK, quite a few), which is good, but time to dust off the old Hut for those of us who are still barren.

SIGH!

Hi all, thought I'd come and lurk with you for a while.

Mslucy- really interesting what you've been told about adhesions and what lissie said too.

I had 2 ERPCs in Feb following a mmc. The 1st was a bit of a disaster and I have been left with scar tissue. From the little I've been told this needs to be addressed before I can get pg. I too have had feelings that i am getting pg but implantation isnt happenning- and my acupuncturist is like a therapist too.

I'm waiting to see a consultant to see what happens next- but I think it will be a lap.

I'm just scared Sh**less that the ERPC has left me permanently barren.

Hello to everyne else here, I'm going to skulk in the corner.

scorpio- I agree with the others- best go to the GP hoever embarrassing

You really should, sounds like it could be a blocked milk duct.
No expert but my mate had somet similar. They just gave her some pills and a cream and it disappered in a week or so

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:42

no, nothing

and i don't want to get it looked at, but my DF says i have to and that she will kick my ass if i dont!

1Wish · 06/07/2007 11:41

How are you feeling at mo scorpio? Definatly think you should go get your boob looked at.

Know i shouldn't ask but any symtoms to report yet?

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:36

i've just completed a whole social policy module

it will happen, don't worry

1Wish · 06/07/2007 11:34

No unfortunatly no dc as yet been trying since i was 18 though (with a different partner) And with my current dp for about 16 months. I can't beleive im having such difficulty its horrid, but i'm kinda getting used to it now

I've just finished 2nd year of ss, so doing 3rd and finial year in sept, we can definatly swap tips, as this years going to be alot more social policy based and i'm useless at it!!

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:26

what year are you in? we share some of our lectures with the SS lot too at our uni i go back to start 2nd year in Oct....

i was only joking about the stalking!

have you got dc already?

1Wish · 06/07/2007 11:19

I know, i'd give anything for a 28 day cycle, with my cycles for all i know i haven't even ov'd by cd28, it does my head in!!!

Sorry for stalking i just noticed we were same kinda age, doing a similar degree etc, and untill recently i tended to just lurk instead of post, so i've done lots of reading!!

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:16

pmsl 5 opks! i think before i have done more pg tests than that in a day...

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:15

well, the longest i havent had sex for this month is 1 day, so i will be so peed if BFN! thanks for the positive thought, i didnt realise you had been stalking me

i hope the clomid does well for you, iyswim. my cycles are about 42 days, too feels forever!

1Wish · 06/07/2007 11:13

Thanks scorpio i honestly don't know, i'm on cd16 (1st cycle of clomid) but cycles can be anything from 26 days to 50, average about 42.
And i don't think the clomid is working so af could be a long way off yet. I did 5 opks yesterday, I mean wtf??

And scorpio don't worry about af (easy to say i know) but i have a positive feeling about you this month. Not that i've been stalking you or owt

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:06

1Wish · 06/07/2007 11:05

Hi everyone, can i join please, please, please???

I've had enough. I don't want a baby.....but i so so do, this lark is killing me

mslucy · 06/07/2007 11:01

scorpio - get your boob checked out!
prob nothing but it's surely better to know.

lissie - you are not a failure.
Everyone I know has taken ADs, and ferchrissakes you've just had a m/c.

I didn't take one after mine, but I bloody should have done as I was completely MENTAL.

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 11:01

it is not you being a failure.....its because they help you. they help loads of people! you will be off them fully when the times right-you have had so much happen to you since feb-is it 1 or 2 mcs since then thats a lot for someone to take, dont be hard on yourself.

and i dont care who i get my fanjo out to; ive never shown a doc my boobs!

lissie · 06/07/2007 10:58

you should prob get it checked out....

im just disappointed about the ADs managed to stay off them since feb and feel like a big crappy failure.

mslucy · 06/07/2007 10:58

yes I have been referred to the Whittington Hospital in North London, which has sorted out a lot of my barren friends!

Am going to demand a scan when I go there on 16th July.

Also DH's sperm count a bit low, but he's given up fags - doing amazingly well - and has said he'll stop boozing if the doc tells him to.

Think the scar might be an issue as we conceived ds 1 after 6 months (and I had a mc as well) so I know that it's unlikely to be hormonal.

My periods are normal but I am old - nearly 37, so that is an issue.

Just bored of being barren and want someone to wave a magic wand!

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 10:56

i keep getting a lump coming up on my boob, near my right nipple. its really sore and ive had it for about 5 days now. it keeps coming, and then going again...its raised up all red and its horrible, but small. i don't wanna go docs, but my friend says i should....

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 10:53

don't you want to do AD's again?

i have been on them before twice, and tbh, i know i will be again at some point.

no-one can tell you are taking them, and if they make you feel better, then thats a good thing, right? pleased you are going counselling, btw. i have tried it before, but he kept blaming stuff on my dad when it wasn't, iyswim, so i stopped.

lissie · 06/07/2007 10:46

what your acupuncturist is referring to are adhesions, very common after a cs. i have the same problem. you should see your gp (have you been referred to a specialist yet?) and tell them that you would like some tests. a laproscpy is prob the best way to diagnose tho. you should speak to attilathemeercat, shes fab when it comes to things like this

mslucy · 06/07/2007 10:32

hello ladies.
I'm still barren too, after over a year of trying for no 2.

Having acupuncture - which I like as it calms me down and the acupuncturist has become more like a therapist!

I wanted to ask the hut about this.

I had a very nasty birth and a caesarian and according to acupuncture lady, I have a lot of scar tissue.

She thinks I am becoming pregnant (something to do with pulse), which I think maybe true as I have felt things and then the embryo is failing to implant because my tubes have too much scar tissue on them, from the bloody caesarian.

If I hadn't had it I would have carked it because ds was a whopper, so I'm not sorry, but could this be a factor and if my tubes are scarred is there anything they can do about it?

lissie · 06/07/2007 10:24

not too good tbh. my counsellor wants me to go back onto my ADs

scorpio1 · 06/07/2007 10:21

how are you doing?
