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.

He may have a point!

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 13/07/2007 11:36

lol Bless him even though I felt shitty I still tried to make my DH do the job but he wouldnt he said if we are both ill we will make an unwell baby

mslucy · 13/07/2007 11:32

honey I felt crappy last summer when it was only a few months.

feel free to moan as much as you like.

I think I have ov'd in the last couple of days - lots of ewcm. Can't be arsed to do wee sticks, but I'm very regular so I know it's about the right time.

Poor dh has been on duty. He was absolutely shattered last night and still made a heroic effort.

I felt really sorry for the poor bastard.

I'm cd15 today so will pester him tonight and maybe tomorrow as well.

Then I can leave him alone!

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 13/07/2007 11:28

Hi Guys this is my first visit to the hut only been trying for three months but I know its going to be a fth as both me and my Dh were ill over the time I oved and only managed it once AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH god thats better this is crappy although I know no where near as long as a lot of you still feels crappy

mslucy · 12/07/2007 21:55

yes I had a happy wee!!!

My hormones were fine when I had them tested. I'm pretty sure I ov most months as symptoms consistent.

Think I might be a bit messed up after a c-section - apparently they can result in lots of scar tissue which makes implantation hard.

DH sperm could be better - he's given up the fags so that will help.

Will let you know what's going on after my hosp appt on 16th.

BabyBratt · 12/07/2007 19:42

Hi Kensgirl I don't mind Im from Failsworth, my best friend is from Ashton Under Lyne so that is not far from you.

The silly thing is I know I will be fine in a couple of days. I wont give up but I may just give up all the silly testing for a short time.

kensgirl · 12/07/2007 18:37

Hi Babybratt, and all

Sorry you are feeling the strain today, its just is crap sometimes, isn't it?

Keep going though, its not as though all hope is lost at all. I know what you mean about being surrounded by pregnant teens though. Where in Manchester do you live? If you would rather not say that is finr, just that I am from Tameside...?

Soreheart · 12/07/2007 17:23

MsLucy, does this mean that you had happy wee? How lovely. I'm not even sure it's wee that I'm producing as these weestix are just not telling me anything. I just can't bring myself to go to the EWCM testing.

BabyBratt · 12/07/2007 15:23

That meant to say rude question. my mind is running quicker than my typing!

BabyBratt · 12/07/2007 15:22

Its not a rude I am 30 and ttc for my first for 9 mths now. I was at church on Sunday with a lady who had had her 2nd baby at 44!!! She had just got married for a 2nd time and it was a honeymoon baby, so that just shows us we both have plenty of time. Still doesn't make it any easier on us though. Do you find you are surrounded by pregnant women or newborn babies?

You know I have spent the majority of my adult life trying not to get pregnant. You think it is going to be so easy. You know my DH did not realise that a woman is only fertile of 24/36 hrs he thought it was a week, ahh bless him!!

mslucy · 12/07/2007 15:08

BabyBratt I totally understand how you're feeling.

I have one but so want another.
And I feel time is running out as I'm nearly 37.
Can I ask a very rude question.
How old are you?
I imagine you're quite a bit younger than me and if so, you have plenty of time and sghouldn't be so hard on yourself.

BabyBratt · 12/07/2007 14:37

Im here again, now I know many of you may say I am being stupid after all I have not been ttc for 12 month yet. But Im so fed up. The doctor does not seem in the slighest bit interested. I have to have another 2 cycles on my own.

I feel like I have been ttc forever!!! Im driving myself mad. Another one of my Friends who I went to Uni with annouced she was pregnant yesterday. She said to me "are you not trying yet" I smiled politely and just said that it was not the right time. Maybe it isn't. I then came home and cried my DH tried to be understanding and said it will happen for us!! as he tucked into his beer. (I asked him to give it up for a short while, but as you can see he had none of it)

I feel like just giving up (I know I wont) but I just feel like saying sod the peeing on sticks, temp taking, mucus spotting. Symptom spotting during the 2ww.

I do not live in the best of areas and I see so many teenage pregnant girls no partner, no home and with the foulest language coming out of their mouths. I am not judging I am just really jealous. Who am I kidding Im jealous of all pg women.

My DH looked at me the other day and said to me I cannot wait till I look at you and there is you and our baby. It almost shattered me. He was being nice but what if I can't give him what he wants.
I know it could be his problem but to be honest today my mind is anything but rationale.
I know tomorrow I will pull myself together. But for today I am really down and really want to give up the ttc.

mslucy · 12/07/2007 14:17

Soreheart.

I'm liking the cut of your jib.

I did an ov stick once and got the smiley face.

Whoop de do.

that was about a year ago.

Without meaning to be utterly gross, I have oodles of ewcm, a regular AF and a 2 year old ds.

But no luck yet.

Dh's sperm count is a bit shit but he's knocked me up twice (includes m/c) so i can only conclude that no one really understand what makes you get pregnant and obsessing over temps/pissing on sticks/frantically counting days etc will just drive you bonkers.

I'm going to hospital on Monday and hopefully I will get some proper information.

Soreheart · 12/07/2007 14:12

Hello, All, I've had a marvelous 'lunch hour' (ahem) reading all the threads on TTC. Geniiii, all of you.
Scorpio1 - bin to the docs yet?? Eh?? Get going.
Have bin OV stick weeing in a very enthusiastic way over last week (today = CD18) trying to figure out where OV takes place. It's all utter bs. Seems I might have ov'd at least twice according to some very faint lines - or possibly, not at all. Based on all the evidence I think this suggests I am about to give birth. So stand well back........mind those prams.

Feedmenow · 12/07/2007 14:09

I can't even begin to imagine being 15 and telling my parents I was pg, let alone then having to admit I didn't know who the father was! My dad was furious at me for being pg at 23 with my steady bf and didn't talk to me for weeks and weeks, and then only to be nasty! I would be heartily ashamed of myself if I were her!

lissie · 12/07/2007 13:41

lol. thought had occured!

Feedmenow · 11/07/2007 21:08

Lissie, maybe you could send your ls's ls a pack of sponge fingers too!! She must need them already if she doesn't know who the father is!!

Miiiaaoow! Saucer of milk for me please......

Impatience · 11/07/2007 21:05

MsLucy, if said smug mummy is that controlling her little darlings will prob become complete nightmares

Lissie, poor you honey. Talk about rubbing the salt in. It doesn't matter why exactly it's upset you so much: point is that it has. Poor you xxx

lissie · 11/07/2007 18:31

prep h is piles cream (tee hee hee)

am truly f*cked off. remember my lil sis's lil sis is 15, pg and doesnt know who the dad is? well, shes having a little girl. dont know why but its really upset me. cant believe im not pg anymore and everyone else is getting on with their lives.

mslucy · 10/07/2007 21:36

I've been hiding from quite a lot of annoying yummy mummy types who keep asking me when I'm going to give ds a brother or sister.

There is one person in particular I am especially loathed to encounter.

She claims she planned for both her dds to be born in the winter so they would do better at school.

Get a life you sad fuck!

Impatience · 10/07/2007 20:55

FMN, you dirty girl! (I love you

MsLucy, I think what you feel is completely normal. It's really hard to see people 'just getting' what we all want SO BADLY. I feel like you do and I'm having to work really hard to get over it enough that I can actually see friends x and y.

Feedmenow · 10/07/2007 20:33

Lissie, what is Prep H? Would it make it rather uncomfortable?
