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.

not too bad. think i may have ov'd already that would be 4 days early, but got distinctive ov pain so not sure whats happening.

scorpio1 · 13/06/2007 14:26

oh lissie, hi no nothing specific has happened, jus tactually realised how many pg people i know! am not feeling too many nasty feelings today though...maybe i should leave the hut??

how are you?

lissie · 13/06/2007 14:24

hi scorpio! whats happened?

soreheart. wish i could but think im too far away. remind dh that this is his life too. mines exactly the same. has been putting off w*nking into a pot for months coz he's worried, while on monday i had a bucketload of dye shoved up my cervix/womb/tube via a catheter in my fango in front of 5 strangers. i know which i'd rather do!

scorpio1 · 13/06/2007 13:57

how is everyone? i'm not too bad today, apartfrom the act that EVERY bugger is pg....

Soreheart · 13/06/2007 11:44

DP really needs to have been for another test. He leaves all this stuff to me. Abdicating responsibility and I find it so hard to keep mentioning it. I've been a bit of an idiot, I know. I should just go for the full-on nag and just get it sorted.

Soreheart · 13/06/2007 11:41

Can you come with me??? Consultant patient! Have just had a call from his secretary asking questions about my visit as he has a 2/3 month waiting list if I ask to postpone. Incredible. I'll be 43 then and post past it for IVF! So, I think I'd better go, don't you. Jeez.

lissie · 13/06/2007 11:16

you may find it handy to take notes too. they give you so much info its tough to take in. and take dates of you cycles, and notes on any other therapies you are using. i was told to stop temping as it puts too much pressure on you.

oh, and ask about high dose folic acid, vit B6 and low dose asprin.

Soreheart · 13/06/2007 11:11

Sorry had to do some work (). And this is great, thank you VERY much. Brilliant.

lissie · 13/06/2007 10:10

? What tests will you be doing
? What kind of timescale are we looking at
? what the are the stats for the chances of a natural conception given my situation ?
? depending on that - what can they do to help you improve these stats and how soon can they start/I start.
? What care are they going to offer me given my medical history?
? and if they cant offer me the right care - who can?
? and again when?
? Have they identified the reasons for m/c and if not why not and
? when we conceive again what care will they offer me - weekly/daily scans?/bloodtests? so that they can identify any potential issues and sort asap.
? what they will do, what the alternatives are,
? types of medication?
? timescale for it all
? what sucess rate different procedures offered have
? what can be done about adhesions,
? what can be done about strep B in womb to maximise chances of IVF working
? If we go for a given option and it fails will that preclude other treatments being possible/offered

take out any qs that dont apply. HtH

lissie · 13/06/2007 10:01

found it, do you want me to email it to you (dont have CAT) or post it on here?

Soreheart · 13/06/2007 09:58

Oooh Lissie, that sounds like a brilliant idea and yes, please. Ta muchly.

lissie · 13/06/2007 07:45

soreheart, i have a doc with all the q's that i asked the doc on my laptop, i shall retrieve it for you

Soreheart · 12/06/2007 14:59

Afternoon, All. I'm sorry people are having such a crap time.
Wishing1 - are you still reading? Sorry to read your post.
Duchesse, you just never blumin' well know with the human body, you never know.
I am crossing fingers and having a small discussion with the universe.
I purchased a tonne (metric, of course) of Lh detection weestix and seem to have demonstrated that ovulation takes place at around CD17/18. Amazing. I thought I was on about CD 13/14/15. Not that this will make a jot of difference. DP is away anyway. Plus his swimmers are not good. Argh.
I have an appt. with fertility expert on Thursday and I'm thinking I should cancel it as I have bugger all to say (apart from, get me pregnant and make it stick, cheers and thanks). Does anyone have any good questions that I an ask?

feedmenow · 12/06/2007 14:44

Choclatedays, that link you posted to that other thread.....bloody hilarious!!!!!!! I very rarely actually laugh out loud, but this jusr did it for me!

Impatience · 12/06/2007 14:42

... and to top it off dp has just invited another pregnant friend round for tea ...

at least my revision is going so badly that I can hide away in the study and PERHAPS not be considered rude for not coming down

can today get any worse?

shouldn't ask.

lissie · 12/06/2007 13:58

its been a rough few years for you, dont be so hard on yourself.

impatience: why the f*ck does this have to keep happening?! theres no justice is there!

duchesse · 12/06/2007 13:56

I know, Lissie. Thank you. I'm sure just bitter and twisted.

impatience - what a kick in the teeth be strong

Impatience · 12/06/2007 12:57

Bloody temps, Duchesse.

Lissie: yes, dp is in her 2ww. They are now a permanent feature in this house... (esp with mine that turn into 3wws...)

Scorpio: Chem and Bio A levels! Final exams next week and the week after. Am (nerdily enough) rrather enjoying them, but I am a complete geek

Just to top it all off, have just had an email from a friend who told me all about how stressed she was that she wouldn't be able to conceive because she was sure she wasn't ovulating. I gave her all my knowledge and goodwill. You guessed it: 11wks pregnant now. So I feel a right muppet about my recent email sending her big strong wishes for conception.

It's not fair.

Shall I just take myself out round the chemical sheds and put myself down?

lissie · 12/06/2007 12:05

sorry

want something good for you sweetheart

scorpio1 · 12/06/2007 11:54

i would wait a couple of days too and then try testing if your temps are still high? wishing you luck

duchesse · 12/06/2007 11:54

Oi, Lissie, no hopefulness in here, please. Naughty naughty... Lucky and I are not exactly in a mutually exclusive relationship at present.

OP posts:
lissie · 12/06/2007 11:52

oh duchesse, leave it a few days. you might get lucky!

duchesse · 12/06/2007 11:51

Yesterday, and I don't think I'll bother. I just know I'm not.

OP posts:
scorpio1 · 12/06/2007 11:40
