The Hut of Gl/Doom Part V- for the unapologetically despondent

Message withdrawn

I feel awful saying this but you all saying about insensitive people but its time to admit that a lovely friend has been awful just recently. She was great when I had the mc but when we met recently she continually went on about the fact that two years ago she had been pregnant with her youngest with awful morning sickness. She has also been on about the fact that it took her only five weeks to conceive her 2nd (her first only weeks after stopping the pill after many years, and an accident). I feel a bit sad because she has always been so nice but I can't believe anyone could be so insensitive. I'm sure she didn't realise she was doing it but still. She knows that we didn't prevent for 3 years prior to the mc and now I feel she is judging me and laughing every cycle that goes past when I am trying properly. But I know its just my bitterness really.

Birthday Wishes Duchesse

What a wonderful thread! Good people, alcohol, and sweets. Gotta love it!

AF due in a few days here, so it's just a matter of waiting til O time again. I think DH has taken this as a personal challenge - so at least the week before O is pretty fun! Thanks so much for the welcome and chat. I'll be popping in again, a day or two older, but not willing to admit defeat yet!

Every single lady on this thread makes me feel so humble. Just to leave some lovely wine for you all (as Duchesse necked all the vintage champers) and some sticky toffee pudding and cream. Because sticky toffee pudding and cream is lovely.

Then dust yourself off Triggles - we can have a damn good go!! AF was due today, I know she's coming as I can feel her breath on the back of my neck!! Some serious BDing this month I think!! Poor DH This good mood will disappear with AF

Well, here's to hoping we're not too old then! I will admit that since the GP tends to give the impression that he doesn't really think it's possible (or advised) at 42, I would dearly love to prove him wrong!

Lord, who said I fake sane? I work with kids and so have a lovely job. It helps me.I have a wonderful DH and hope I'm not too old. There are lots of old birds out there doing it!! With a little luck...x

We have a 18 month old DS, and have been TTC since he was about 3 months old. Due to age, we didn't want to wait. (We also have 23yr DS and 21yr DD) I get really aggravated when people say "Oh, just be thankful you have children, and don't be greedy" but I AM thankful I have children. But those 2 m/c's really haunt me. I feel like we're meant to have another child and it's just not happening. I'm sorry that you've gone through this for 7 years - you must be an incredibly strong person - or just much better at faking "sane" than I am!

How long have you been TTC?
< nearly 7 years off and on. I get really down and resort to contraception to avoid the stress.
The devasttion of a m/c makes me feel more desperate/alone/at fault/...broken.

It is. I swear I'm going to go demand clomid, just in case it could help. Maybe if I talk to another GP at the surgery. Or just have a complete breakdown in the surgery....

They said the same - along the lines of 'you should see the fact you can get pregnant as a very positive thing,' EHHHH??? I got te quality of your eggs thing. I feel I was told to go away and stop being silly. Well I bloody well am silly I want a munchkin and will give up when I'm ready. I have been in same mood for a week, isn't it horrid o have no contro; over it?

and obviously I can't type smileys tonight

thanks. I've pretty much given up on this cycle. Asgoodas - are you doing any type of medical help (sorry, none of my business, I know - if you don't want to answer, I understand)? I think I'm too old for NHS to do anything (such as IUI), GP says since I ovulate regularly I don't need clomid, and as I've gotten pregnant twice in 10 months, won't refer me, as (in his words) "obviously I don't have a problem getting pregnant". [angry} I swear if he'd mentioned "old eggs" I'd have knocked him off his chair! So I just keep feeling more hopeless and frustrated each cycle. God, yes, thanks for the drinks - I think I need them! [blush} Sorry - think I'm in a rather bad mood tonight.

Triggles, I can do one better than sympathy - true empathy - same age too!!

,gives Triggles a chaser

sounds like youre in the right place.

Is there room for another here? I'm 42, aggravated, and so tired of getting the timing and everything just right and then nothing.... A couple women at work are pregnant and some days I just can't face it... especially the one who is due same week as I was prior to m/c.

It seems like as soon as I join a thread (or even lurk) a bunch get pregnant, and it just makes me hesitant to even bother sometimes....

There... my irrational vent for the day...

god, i love that thread!

for lissie
Still makes me smile, hope it cheers you up

Nope, I don't think I know what you mean at all. After reading this thread and lurking for a while I think you are more than able to deal with it brilliantly. Best os luck x
Seriously intrigued now.....arggghhh
