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

At least the 'I'd like to have a girl next to add to my collection, as the clothes are so cute and I've got a pink pram, but only want it in April - please help!' ones seem to have died a death.

"oooh i ovulated yesterday, am i pg?"

"bugger, i think i'm pg, what can i do?"

all together now.....

FUCK OFF

feel like shit. my best, oldest friend has just rung me up to tell me that his wife is pg. im happy for them, this will be theie first, but im angry too.

Too right PP - where's our emoticon-free hut of gloom gone? Just you cheery types wait til Duchesse gets back. She'll tan your hide!

this thread is getting far too chipry - i am off to try to find me some gloom chums....

Aw thats lovely LL.

Ah, how sweet My ds made xmas so special. He kept saying "how lucky am I?" in sheer delight every time he opened a present

She was LL - We couldn't get her off hte bike .

I'm going to try and post a piccie on my profile once I've downloaded my camera, in case anyone wants a peek ! Will let you know when Iv'e done it.

I agree this is a great age.

Wheely - glad you enjoyed your dd's birthday celebrations. Was she pleased with her pressie? I am totally loving the 3-4 age

Congratulations Ronshar . I didn't think any of us where ever going to make our way out of here. Good luck for the next 8-9 months.

We went out for dinner last night with dd and she was so lovely, it made me resolve to really try and be grateful for what we have, not what we can't have at the moment. Not sure how long it will last though !

OMG CONGRATULATIONS RONSHAR So happy for you and hope you don't come back on this thread Hope to see you on the birth announcement thread in 9 months xx

Ronshar slinks in, hands out the chablis and shares her news.

I had a BFP this morning. I am not going to get too excited as it may not stick again. I may be back with you soon.

I am going to miss you all. No one listens to my self indulgent moaning with the same sympathy as you ladies.

Hmmm... I posted earlier and it's not here. Odd. Anyway..

Herbs - sorry. Can't offer any info on procedure, as I've not had one, but hoping both the procedure and the recovery will be easy for you with very little discomfort.

Wheely - happy birthday to your DD. We realise that we're lucky to have DS, so I know how you feel. Sometimes I think "are we being greedy because we want another baby?". But can't help it.

Bugger Herbs. That is all I can bring myself to say.

Sorry herby I have no experience of a lap and dye so can't advise.

Wheely - happy birthday to your dd and hope she has a lovely day and enjoys her bike That was a lovely post by the way. I hope I will feel the same when ds has his birthday. I was pregnant when we celebrated it last summer, well I say pg but that's because I didn't realise it had already died.
I know how you feel about wanting a brother/sister for your dd. Our children are roughly the same age (ds 6 mths older) and it is such a lovely stage isn't it.

Herby - so sorry this wasn't your month.

I think a lap and dye is kind of the definitive 'show us all your problems' thing (that doesn't make sense but hopefully you know what I mean). Things show up on this that don't on a scan or the x-ray thing.

Surely if you go and have a chat with your gp it wouldn't prejudice you against adoption - it would surely show you are just having a sensible explore of all the options before committing yourself to the adoption process ?

Wow at 29 weeks Shreksmissus ! Glad your dd is ok though. I too had problems with my pregnancy with dd and although she made it to 37 weeks before being dragged from me, she had IUGR so was teeny. I've been told that there's no connection between this and my current ftc but I wonder.....

In fact, it was 3 years ago exactly today that dd was forced into this world ! Sadly I can't wrap up and give her the baby brother she desperately wants but hopefully the pink and purple bike she'll unwrap later (after pre-school and ballet !) will be just as fun. Am feeling a bit sad at the whole sibling thing but when I think back to the condition we were both in 3 years ago (AND how hard it is to come about number 2) I realise just how lucky we are to have her so will count my blessings today.

Well it looks like it's all over for another month. And part of me was so convinced. As I always am.

Very down. It's now a year since I conceived my last baby, the one I miscarried 11 weeks later. The one thing keeping me going after four miscarriages was the fact that I could conceive easily (usually within 6 months), but maybe now I never will again, and never be a natural mother.

I should go to the GP and see what he can do, but a) dread his 'well what do you expect at your age' answer, b) don't want to be seen to be TTC, as also trying for adoption and don't want them to know (and they interview your GP, apparently). Not quite sure what he could do, anyway. I worry that three D&Cs in two years have broken me. Would a lap and dye spot that?

Anyway. Sorry to ramble on. Having my monthly wallow.

Sorry, I probably would have dealt with the comment better if it hadn't been just after the mc started. Time and place, and all that. Wow, 29 weeks! That must have been quite scary! DS was a week overdue. It took me almost exactly a year to get pregnant with him, 6 months with next, and 1 month with next. Now going on 5 months since last mc. I'm just impatient. And I don't like that this obsession tends to overshadow other things, no matter how hard I try not to.

Thank you. Both mc's were in the last year - and DH practically had to restrain me from leaping at the GP and strangling him when he said "well, at least we know you can GET pregnant". Small consolution, IMO.

I'm definitely going to use your word. I'm "nonchalant" right now, as I'm waiting for ovulation. To some extent, it's that "whatever" time. It's DH's favourite time of the month, anyway! I'm not so sure he's fond of the pre-AF part, as I tend to go back and forth "maybe I am, maybe I'm not...." But I'm just out of the gloom of AF and starting towards the next 2 week stretch.

We're going to be moving in 4 months, so at least soon I'll have other things to fully occupy me and hopefully distract me a bit.
