So near, yet so far! Holiday villa for those waiting TTC#1 having suffered mc

[MamaPower]

Hi all,

I need to take a holiday with some lovely peeps in the same position; I'm TTC#1 but had 2 mc's this year and now discovered my luteal phase is only 9 days (anything under 10 considered a defect) and probably the reason that I cannot retain a pregnancy.

If you have yet to be blessed with motherhood because mc has cruelly taken away your chance so far, then this is the place to retreat for some R & R whilst your body recovers.

Pull up a sun lounger, and lie back for some lighthearted banter and support whilst monitoring cycles or undergoing investigation and wash down the Vit B6, Agnus Castus, Progesterone and Clomid with a lovely vodka glass of sparkling spring water!!

Dachs he doesn't have an iPhone, but he has a BB with GPS. The BB is a work one so he doesn't have to pay the bill himself, so I think he'd rather stick with that than an iPhone. Was also thinking of an iPad though (mostly 'cause I think they're cool!!). Crazy expensive, but he hasn't got me anything yet so maybe it could be our Christmas & bday presents to each other for the next year ?

Great suggestion Dachs... iphone is a fab idea

ooooh yes, lovely i-pad... do you know anyone that works in education?? They can get an educational discount for some Apple products online

I thought I was joking about getting him Jo Malone as I assumed it was for women only.. now I'm really revealling my perfume AND gadget ignorance

OOH - my mother! Discounts sound great!

On different note. I need a Christmas name. Any ideas??

Just googled "wombat AND christmas" and apparently "The Christmas Wombat" is an Australian childrens book...

lmao Wombat I have been making the most of self indulgence until/if I ever get a bean to spoil and blow all my money on!!

I'm a teacher so I get an apple discount. I will look up my code for you!

Been thinking of christmassy names for you Wombat, not great but how about:

1. ...awombatinasedgetree (useless fact I know from visiting oz for the last two years...wombats eat leaves from sedge trees)

2. orestyemerrywombat

3)theonewombatopensleigh

4. wombatbells

Oh thanks MammaC!! Love it!!!

Great, had to start singing all the christmas songs out loud from 8am to come up with that...much to Dh's annoyance... he doesn't quite get that I wait 11months for Christmas and I am damn sure gonna make the most of it

hey mamac you seem to be good at names! can you come up with something a bit more festive than dachshund antlers for me? it's a bit crap but the best i could come up with on the spur of the moment

ooooh I shall ponder on that one tonight me dear! Just back from Aqua... bloomin knackered! Hope you're all well.

Just checking in again. Been away for a while but have been lurking on this thread!

HAve had some success with B6 to lengthen my LP by 1 day (now 11 days) so this month we have started TTC again On CD12 just now and normally OV on CD13/14 so I'm quite busy

Its handy that I'm off work all week due to the snow too - nice and relaxed!

Dachs this is a tricky one...I won't be offended if you stick with what you already got!

1. 12DachshundsofChristmas (Some cheesy feel good movie, actually called 12 Dogs of Christmas!)

2. WewishyouaDachshundsChristmas

3. willsantanoticeimnotrudolph

Can I just say: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thanks. Needed to vent. Another birth announcement at work.

Congratulations on a fabulous vent, well done wombat!! lol!

Hi Wombat

I feel your pain. My friend announced she was preg last week. Got pregnant first time they tried and have had a "great" 12 week scan. Have been sujected to photos of her clasping the "bump" on facebook!

I have been grinning through gritted teeth!

Wombat I am impressed with the vent too! Has it helped?

I cried yesterday - we watched the first episode of the new series of Peep Show where Sophie gives birth. DH asked why I was crying and I said "I just want my baby". Since the MC EVERYTHING on tv seems to involve being pg in some way or another!

Dont you think it would be really nice if we could all get together in RL for mulled wine and mince pies? Just because we all understand. Would be lots of tears I imagine!

Anyway, I'm going a little crazy from being snowed in for the thrid day in a row and looking like its gonna be tomorrow too! I'm all for a week off work but not when you cant get out!!

MamaC, Wakarimasen and Velvet - glad my little outburst impressed It was all getting a bit too much! Yes, I think it has helped (that and going to the gym at lunchtime!).

Velvet - it's not just on TV though is it? It's everywhere!!!!!!!!!!! I really thought the gods were having a laugh at my expense on Friday afternoon. I think my work (large organisation) must have been holding one of their sporadic parenting guest lectures or something at lunchtime because I pressed the button for the lift to the canteen and when the door opened there were ten, YES TEN pregnant women in there. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

I think mulled wine meet up is a fab idea

Wakarimasen - I'm sorry about your friend's announcement upsetting you. ((Hugs)) It's tough isn't it? Logically I know there isn't a finite number of babies to go round and someone else's good news doesn't deprive me of my chance, but somehow that still does nothing to slay the green eyed monster!

Yes and it's worse when they didn't even know you were pregnant. She doesn't know how much salt she's adding to the wound!

Ah, I had that at the weekend with a friend and her new born and lots of very very well meant 'advice' about "getting on with it".
