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

The new hut. Ta-da!

This one is a snug little basement World War 2 type nightclub, with dim lighting, snug velvet sofas, red walls and certainly no politically correct smoking bans. Occasionally certain selected men may be admitted at our convenience.

Sit down, make yourselves at home, and never, ever apologise for feeling like shit. That's about it.

I know I try to be hopeful but it just keeps not happening. Its not helped by being a work my colleagues know I am trying (don't see any point in hiding the fact) but they (sorry they are blokes) keep making little asides about maternity leave and how cushy it is and how they would like a year off argggggggg.. They are good guys but I am just getting p£$%^& off with it. Sorry I just need to rant I'll be better tomorrow.

Hi all also I generally just lurk but annie we are like twins
CD8 of 13th cycle TTC #2. DH gave me a hug when I cried but thinks it is not a problem and all will be well. Given the fact I'm so blinking ancient I really don't think so .

santasmissus · 01/01/2008 23:44

hello happy new year cd1 again. really fed up. have been too fed up to mn properly for a while. have lurked a lot and posted a little. so peed off with it. was working this am when i came on took me all my energy not to cry. now think it probably it isn't going to happen. feel sorry for dd and dh as well as myself, perhaps more for them. going to throw myself into the rest of my life and ignore pregnant people. easy to say on cd1

Hello ladies.

Welcome Viksam.

Feeling very odd today. Been shouting at dh, feel all tearful and dont want to do anything or go anywhere.

Went to MIL's yesterday for a family get together and my cousin was there with her new baby (who is HUGE!!) and I felt more empty than ever. Its only been a couple of weeks since my m/c but I realy feel I should be getting a grip by now.

Dreading wednesday - going back to work (thats where I started bleeding) and I should have been going to my m/w booking in appointment too.

Oh well, my ds is having a sleepover at his ma & pa's tonight so might get some sleep!!!

Happy New Year xx

Viksam- definitely the right thread for you. Step right in, have a virtual drink (or several), and slump in the corner if you'd like to.

Hi I feel like poo........ does that qualify me for joining? Feeling v sad and peed off and not quite finding a thread that i fit in to. ttc #1 for 3.5 yrs
Fed up now. Finding it hard to pick myself up every month. Hufffffffffffff...........

ladylush · 30/12/2007 00:34

Hi ClairePO, I feel as shite as you at the moment I think. I didn't ovulate last month and I had a fake period - on CD18 so fuck knows what is going on with my cycle. I hope 2008 has some good news for us all. We sure deserve it imho.

ronshar · 28/12/2007 17:16

LCY
Do not worry about us here. We are all very . We dont mean to be horrible and I certainly dont want to make anybody who is going through it with a difficult early pregnancy feel even worse. Please dont feel that you have to move away. That is why all off us old crones come here to hide when we feel horrible about ourselves.

Sorry, I have kind of spoken for lots of people who may disagree.

ClairePO · 26/12/2007 23:03

Thank you Ladylush - that is just what I meant. I'm so sorry if I came across as insensitive. I was just venting but my words could have been better.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I felt a bit empty tbh and just kept thinking maybe next year it will be a 'proper' family christmas for us. So many people say 'it's all about children' and 'its so different when you have children, it makes it special again'.

Thank you for your post Lcy.

It's ov time for us and OH is all hopeful and I'm not. I've had 3 textbooks cycles, charting and ov'ing on day 15 with daily BD'ing at the crucial time and nothing so why different this time? I don't believe in Santa anymore I'm afraid.

Lcy · 26/12/2007 14:46

Hi all - i am just popping in from the mc thread - i hope you dont mind me posting. I am one of the guilty pregnant ones that have continued posting. It made me feel really sad reading the above comments but only because i have contributed to making people feel bad

I think the idea of the thread was that we would all stay together whether trying to concieve or pregnant but i think that although it was a nice idea it hasnt worked. I know when i was TTC i was avoiding the mc thread because i felt that everyone was pregnant apart from me - and this made me feel miserable and mean. I also know that after my mc i would not of found the thread as it is at the moment useful.

I think the reason alot of us have stayed on the thread is because we are having problems in this pregnancy and have got to know each other and found the thread such a support - HOWEVER - we could easily move over to the pregnancy board and support each other there! I think the mc thread needs to focus on those that are going through or had a mc and TTC.

So i am going to go and join the pregnancy after mc thread and just pop in now and again.

Good luck LCY x

santasmissus · 25/12/2007 00:50

hello clairepo sorry to see you on here. it is quite a haven tho. i am still posting on the ttc threads but i think it is out of some kind of desperate clutching at straws - set myself up for a fall every month - will i never learn?? i am genuine on them, it's just i can't help but feel sorry for myself - not proud of that in any way.

anyway, i hope everyone has a lovely christmas and new year.

becaroodolf · 24/12/2007 11:20

Hello all....

I am trying really hard for my ds's sake, but I really just want to dive under the duvet and not come up for air til the new year

Am going to make some reindeer food that we can put out for the reindeer in a minute (birdseed and glitter in case you were wondering!!)

Hope you all have a good Christmas and a peaceful new year xx

ladylush · 24/12/2007 10:31

ladylush · 23/12/2007 22:36

Oh Wheely hope you manage to have a nice xmas inspite of everything x

wheelybahhumbug · 23/12/2007 22:02

Hi all.

I am sooo cross - and am being unreasonably mean to DH. 'Tis the trying time and usually I am worrying that DH won't get home from work to do the deed. So, was looking forward to the fact that this month it will be the christmas period, DH will be home so whats to stop us. MANFLU. AAARRRRRGHHHHHHH. I am so pissed off. Hung dd's stocking on mantelpiece and sobbed as I couldn't imagine seeing another alongside it . Am beginning to think its not meant to be.
Am drinking red wine and feeling VERY sorry for myself and to make matters worse, MIL arrives tomorrow so I am dashing round like a loon trying to get christmas ready.
Right off to wrap DH's presents (not that he deserves any and then get an early night as I fear tomorrow may be a long one.

If I don't get on tomorrow I may well pack the laptop away for a couple of days so hope you all have a good christmas even if you don't get what you really really want this year.

ronshar · 23/12/2007 19:31

Have done alot of drinking to make me feel better.
Surprise it hasnt worked

ladylush · 23/12/2007 15:54

I was still hopeful until I started to get pain as well as bleeding. Then I knew it was over.

I was almost glad that it was all definite by then. Sounds awful, I know, and I on balance I would much rather have kept that baby, but the pregnancy had had so many problems from the start, that to find out that there really had been a problem was almost comforting.

Yes duchesse - I still shudder when I think about it.
