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.

thank you for your excellent suggestions.

Was crying in the toilets at work today - just couldn't stop myself.

DH out tonight so at least I can have a good sulk and then go to bed early.

Tomorrow is another day.

Have acupuncture before work. Can have a good rant and moan to the acupuncture lady, who is a bit like a therapist.

Should be having sex a lot in the next few days - today is cd12, but can't really be arsed.

Had it last night and will pester DH tomorrow/thurs.

think it's a bit of a waste of effort but I feel really cross if I don't.

pmsl at sponge fingers, just put some preparation h in as well.

Feedmenow · 10/07/2007 17:09

Mslucy, the best anonymous gift you could send would probably be a packet of sponge fingers (for the same reason as tena lady, but a more horrendously foul idea!) I can just imagine her mentioning to you "I got a packet of sponge fingers sent me in the post but I don't know who they are from......why would someone send me sponge fingers? What do you think it means?" Chortle, chortle, chortle, snigger.

mslucy, it's normal to feel like you do! My bf fell pregnant after telling me she admanently didn't want any more children and hardly ever had sex! The day she told me I ranted to my dp about it for hours. I couldn't believe how unfair life was and for a few hours I think I really did hate her, my oldest friend! Of course, with time, etc, it passed but I still feel jealous, she's had the little one now and I remember thinking as long as I was pregnant by the time she had it I'd cope. Bloody useless body hasn't listened to me though but I'm OK, I'm sure you will be too but if not there's always drugs and alcohol

mslucy · 10/07/2007 11:00

I knew the hut was the place to be today.

Do you think I should send her a tena lady as an anonymous gift?

Feedmenow · 10/07/2007 10:45

Oh MsLucy, how crap for you! But don't jump under a train (or any other potentially fatal vehicles!)
Continue to hate SIL - you have a fantastic reason. It would have been shittier if you used to actually like the woman and just hated her cos of the pg, but if you never really liked her anyway then you've nothing to lose by hating her guts now!
Just think, she will have her twins and be permanently knackered, look like shit, never shift her baby weight, will have nasty tears when she gives birth, plus huge piles and the added embarassment of untimely fanny farts where her fanjo has stretched soooo much that she just can't control her bodily funsctions!

mslucy · 10/07/2007 10:16

hello fellow hut inmates.

Can I have a few moments to rant, rave and behave like a complete and utter NUTCASE.

I have been trying for over a year to conceive no 2 - ds is now 2.

My SIL announced she was pregnant about 6 weeks ago. Her ds is only 1.

This made me feel like a complete loser.

It now turns out she's expecting twins.

I feel like the bottom of my world has dropped out.

I am so angry, depressed and feel like a complete psycho. I hate her so much - I can't tell you. I've never liked her much and this has made me loathe her - this is upsetting for dh and I feel like a total witch.

I was feeling in a quite a good mood yesterday until dh told me.

I have hosp appt next week and was trying to be positive - now I just feel like jumping under a train.

Impatience · 09/07/2007 09:26

Scorpio what are some people like?! That's crap.

FMN, I don't have any advice either, but even if they can't do anything about it having gone to the gp about it will have at least got it registered. (blimey, what a tangled sentence..!)

scorpio1 · 09/07/2007 08:33

what a shit weekend.

firstly, on friday my period came. on cd34.
last 5 cycles since mirena out have been this: 28, 13, 41,43,34. WTF???

then, we woke up saturday morning all late and lovely . we went to wash our car at 2pm and someone kicked in the side of our 2 year old car! £1500 to find now......it needs a whole new back panel, because its a 3 door car.

i am so mad and just feel like im floating around at the mo, iyswim. is anything ever going to go my way?

lissie · 08/07/2007 22:12

fmn, no advice im afraid other than get the pains checked out. unfortunately in my experience the nhs are rubbish when it comes to gynae probs and you deserve an answer!!

Feedmenow · 08/07/2007 17:24

Happy sunday all. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
I'm at a bit of a loss and am after some advice please.
Since my mmc (Jan) and subsequent ERPC I have been having daily pains in my abdomen, plus shooting pains down the fronts of my legs, plus backache, etc, etc. For ages I just assumed I was still healing after ERPC but about a month ago I thought that really enough time had passed to went to GP. Had swabs done - all fine. Had an ultrasound - everything looks fine. Now I have seen mentioned on other threads that these types of pains could potentially be endo and that swabs and scan would not show this up.
Although the pains annoy me and are sometimes fleetingly horrible, most of the time I just get on with things. But it does worry me that I am getting any pain & discomfort at all. Especially the leg thing as I never had that before mc.
Anyway, saw GP on Friday and she reckons that the swabs and scan indicate nothing gynae. I really don't want to go for further invasive tests when the pains are bearable, but I worry that whatever is causing the pains will effect my ttc. How long should I wait before I pursue further with GP? Other than endo, can anyone think of anything that could cause these sorts of pains? And if I had any scarring or anything from ERPC would it have shown on the scan?
P.S. I am considering no longer ttc and baby person and instead go for a baby elephant....does anyone know if this will effect my c-section scar?????

lissie · 07/07/2007 19:38

of course, as long as youre not perky!

kensgirl · 07/07/2007 11:28

Rainbowdays · 06/07/2007 21:55

I am still here, sitting quietly drinking my wonderful guiness, and just pondering about nowt, and feeling generally nothing-ish. Wierd, but this feels just right.

Impatience · 06/07/2007 20:17

Oh you girls, you keep me sane xxx

lissie · 06/07/2007 19:07

of course as long as they're not optimistic

Crumbs. I really have turned into a mardy-arse! It's quite nice to not have to be all happy and smiley!
I just can't understand the "ttc a girl" or "ttc a boy" preference posts.

How long before the first "hoping to conceive a baby manatee" thread, d'you reckon?
